Lesson Report Senior-1p September 4th

Hello class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How's everything going?
It's Friday, September 4, 2015. 
It's balmy today. 
You tried to make a good summary today.
Everyone seemed to have a hard time to decide what to include in the summary.
Writing a simple but effective sentence is very challenging.
It will take everyone some time to be able to do that, but if you keep practicing, there's a good chance!
All of you have a school festival this month, which means everyone is very busy.
Please enjoy the first-year school festival!
