TRI-HEART June 24th, 2015 No.8 発行：留辺蘂高校英語科 Communication When I was in college, I majored in Communications. I was interested in the way people communicate with each other. Did you know that you are communicating even if you don’t speak? Body language, eye contact, and even clothing can send a message. You will be communicating a lot with your classmates to prepare for the school festival. So let’s talk about communication! ＊majored in ～：～を専攻した even if ～：たとえ～でも prepare for ～：～の準備をする Tips for Good Communication Good communication is the most important skill you can learn. It will improve your relationships, school life, career and self-esteem. So here are some tips to help you have good communication: 1. Body Language Smile, make eye-contact and face your partner. 2. No Distractions Turn your head and torso towards the speaker and lean forward. Avoid looking at your phone or the clock. 3. Ask Questions and Listen Ask questions. Show you are interested in what your partner is saying. Listen carefully to your partner and repeat the last thing they said. 4. Be Prepared for Small Talk Small talk, for example: the weather, sports, and recent events are good topics for conversation. Here is a word to help you remember good topics for small talk: “FORD”.

When I was an elementary and junior high school student, my friends and I didn’t have cell phones. So, if I wanted to talk to my friend, I had to call her home phone number. In that case, I would have to talk to whoever answered the phone. For example: Erika’s mother : Hello. Me : (Oh, not Erika…) Hello. I’m sorry for calling so late at night. This is Nanami Numakura. May I speak to Erika, please? Erika’s mother : Hi, Nanami. I’ll get her. Hold on, please. Me : Thank you. Most of you don’t have to do that because cell phones are popular now. You can communicate with your friends directly at anytime and anywhere. I was so nervous when I called her home phone number, but I think it was the first step in learning how to communicate with older people. Cell phones are convenient and useful for us, but we miss an opportunity to communicate directly with older people. Please think about the merits and demerits of using your cell phone. ＊had to ～：～しなければならなかった directly：直接 whoever answered the phone：電話に出たひと誰でも nervous : 不安な、緊張して hold on ：電話を切らないで miss an opportunity to ～：～する機会を逃す ～英語表現Ⅰ（２年選択）～ のぞき見! 「英語表現Ⅰ」は２年次生の選択科目で、週２時間の授業です。先日、 “Shopping Activity”を行いま した。カリン先生が持ってきた様々な種類の服をお店のようにハンガーにかけ、clerk（店員）と customer （客）になり、買い物表現を学びました。 “Can I help you?” “I’m looking for a ～.”から会話が始まり、 店員が服を選んで客に勧め、試着をし、購入までの流れに英語で挑戦。小さすぎたり、奇抜すぎたり、笑い 声の溢れる楽しい活動になりました。ここで身につけたことを、ぜひ実践で活かしてほしいと思います。 Cash, please. How does it fit? It’s too small!! I’ll take it!! Clothes from Karin’s house
