In this time of a year ago, I remember I was taking private lessons of English-speaking in my hometown, taught by a tutor of a native speaker. Her name is Lisa, coming from Seattle, United States. I was invited to her home every week and practiced oral communication in English by the way of chatting with Lisa, trying to make myself understood in English. Though it was merely an ordinary conversation, I learned a bunch of things not only about English expressions but also the variety of American culture of great fun. I was often served with an sweety orange juice at her home, and I miss the taste of it even now. I really appreciate her heart-warming teaching of English and priceless encouragement for me to make a success in those days. In fact, I owe what I am being a member of this prestigeous IES a class to her. This picture was taken by her at the very time I was coming her home. I forget why, but Lisa asked me to put on a viking hat when taking this picture, which makes this photo even more funny and impressive.
