It's Friday, May 22, 2015. 
It's sunny and partly cloudy today.
Three of the students were absent today.
Those who attended the class all worked very hard and did a good job!
Some of you tried to have a real conversation with the partners.
If you try hard to communicate with others in English, you'll be good at it.
As long as you attend the class at MEL School, you are supposed to be able to use English in the future.
Unfortunately, we didn't have any speakers yesterday.
Takehiro was ready for the speech, but I failed to give him the time for it.
The next speaker is still Takehiro.
I'm looking forward to your presentation!

And as I told you in the class, you don't have to work on the next VIU.
