I went to the Ivy Plaza to attend an English class.

In the morning,as it was sunny,I went to Furusato Noen to work in my field. I plowed the earth and turned five furrows to plant vegetables, and returned home about two hours later.
In the evening,Takashi and Sachiyo called us on Skype and talked for about 10 minutes. They were well. They were surprised to hear that I was going to attend an English class, because they thought most of the attendants there would be beginners,while I had worked as an interpreter,even as a volunteer.
At 5:35,I left home by car for the Ivy Plaza,where we were to have the English class.
In the 4th study room on the 3rd floor,there were 17 "students",most of whom seemed to be over 40 or 50 years old.The teacher was named Ms.Tomiko Nyerges,and she was born in Tomakomai,and had lived in USA with her late American husband for 18 years. I was surprised she recognized me at first glance,because she remembered I had worked with her as an interpreter in some event held in Tomakomai about 10 years ago.
I agreed to her idea that in learning English,we should always try to understand through English, without the help of Japanese. So,she earnestly recommended Longman's English-English Dictionary. Using the tape recorder,she made us listen to English dialogues.(Written on May 9 )
