Today I'll tell you about gardeN on 26th of February, that was the 14th.
There were less people than usual..
At first, we did "Line Up" as a warming up!
Because we timed this time, we could do it more actively than before, like saying "I chose this!!". It took about 55 seconds every time. We want to be able to do it faster!!
Then we talked about PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.
First of all, we shared which sport we watched with some reasons. For example, curling, snowboarding, skiing and figure skating and so on. Especially, junior high school students told us simply by using the past tense which they’d just learned at school.

After that, we shared which sport we want to try.
-I want to do ski jumping because a Japanese player named Ryoyu Kobayashi is really cool and I want to meet him♡
-I'd like to do snowboarding smartly!
-Figure skating is attractive for me because players can wear charming costume!
...something like that.
I could understand and empathize with their choices and reasons and I think everyone could spend nice time with English.
The next gardeN will be held on 5th of March. (Oh, It's already March..) at Yumoto Community Center. Why don't you join us??
Thanks.

それでは2月26日のガーデンの様子をお送りします♪あ、第14回でしたね。
今回はちょっとメンバーが少なめだったかな。
ウォーミングアップはラインナップ。
タイムも計りながら、皆で『私はこれ！』と積極的に声かけあいながらやりました。
・・・毎回５５秒前後と安定（？）のタイムでしたけど。
その後は、オリンピックの話題です。まずはオリンピックで何を見たかをシェアしました。カーリング、スノボ、スキー、フィギュアスケートなどなど・・・理由も入れながらシェアしました。中学生ズは、習いたての過去形も混ぜながら、分かりやすく発表してくれましたよ♪
お次はどんなスポーツに挑戦したいか？というのをシェア。
スキージャンプをしたい！だって小林陵侑がかっこいいからお近づきになりたい♡
スノボやりたい！かっこよく滑りたいんだもん。
フィギュアスケートが良いな。だって衣装が可愛いし！
などなど、聞いてると『分かる！』って思う理由で、楽しくシェアできました！
次回は3月5日！（もう3月...!!）
是非ご参加くださいませー！！
～感想～
☆This time, a native speaker facilitated gardeN, so my will to try to speak in English became bigger than usual. It was interesting that everyone enjoyed Olympic games in each way, totally different with mine.
☆今回は進行がALTの方だったので、なるべく英語で頑張ろうという気持ちが強くなった気がしました。オリンピック、それぞれの楽しみ方があったようで面白かったです！
★It was fun to talk about Olympic games with everyone and I enjoyed learning some new sports in English!
★平昌五輪をみんなで楽しく振り返れてよかったし、知らなかった競技も分かって楽しかったです。
