1. Let’s Enjoy Reading a Lot of English Books
Do you like reading English books? Some English teachers say that the best way tolearn English is by reading many English books. In fact, there have been a lot of great
Japanese experts of English who improved their English skills mainly by reading Englishbooks.
Although there are several ways to improve your reading skill, two ways are very
popular: intensive reading and extensive reading.
In intensive reading, learners study an English text line by line, frequently referring
to English-Japanese dictionaries and grammar books and translating it into Japanese tounderstand its meaning. This has been a traditional way of teaching English in Japaneseschools.
Extensive reading, on the other hand, takes a different approach. Reading a variety
of English books that are easy leads to reading more and for pleasure. Thus, words andexpressions are learned through context without the need for dictionaries or grammarbooks. For many, reading becomes less of a task and more of a joyful habit.
Nowadays, libraries at many schools house a lot of easy English books to read. Why
don’t you try extensive reading?

2. A Better Tomorrow through Music
Have you heard of Gustavo Dudamel, the energetic, highly respected conductor andMusic and Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic? Gustavo believes that“children have the right to have access to beauty.” This belief comes directly from his
own childhood experiences.
Gustavo, born in 1981, grew up in Venezuela as a son of a trombonist and a singing
teacher. Initially, Gustavo wished to play the trombone, just like his father. Instead, hislocal music teacher recommended he play the violin. By the age of 10, Gustavo wasreading music scores for the violin just like other children would read books.

Then, Gustavo joined “El Sistema,” a youth orchestra and music program which José
Antonio Abreu, a visionary economist, organist and politician, started in 1975. For morethan four decades, El Sistema has educated children through music, many of whom comefrom communities below the poverty line. To date, more than half a million children havereceived their music education through El Sistema.
One day, when the conductor was absent, Gustavo stepped up and acted as aconductor for fun. The conductor then showed up and encouraged him to go ahead andconduct the concert that day. Gustavo was twelve.
Five months later, he was given the assistant conductor post, only to find himself thefollowing year with his own chamber orchestra.
At the age of 15, Gustavo Dudamel was leading Venezuela’s famous Simón Bolívar
Youth Orchestra (now the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela) of which
he continues to remain chief conductor. Then, in 2002, Gustavo was invited to Germany
to study with the Berliner Philharmoniker. That was just the beginning of many more
years for Gustavo to travel worldwide thanks to music.
Gustavo firmly believes that the world needs to put art more at its center. Observing
indications of societal and cultural divisions, Gustavo has seen many times that music
brings people together. As Gustavo expresses in his own words, “It’s only one world, inthe end.”
