The verb "have" is often USED in the S V O sentence pattern ... with nouns in the O position. It is an easy and very powerful pattern to DESCRIBE symptoms.

The verbs "feel" and "be" can be USED in the S V C sentence pattern ... with adjectives in the C position.

Other verbs can also be USED to DESCRIBE symptoms and medical conditions. Sometimes the symptom APPEARS in the verb, rather than as a noun or an adjective. This is why you should always (a) LEARN new vocabulary and (b) PRACTICE USING the words ... in a grammatical context (ie. inside noun phrases and full sentences) and, if possible, ASSOCIATE these phrases and sentences with a visual image.

Group Report

GO online now. JOIN the class Team, if you haven't already DONE so, and then JOIN the class meeting on the General channel(一般). If you do NOT KNOW what to do ... TALK with your fellow students. They can TEACH you what to DO. You can LEARN a lot from each other. You don't have to learn everything (directly) from your teachers.

Time for You to Practice

During the Group Work all you students that are online should HAVE your microphones ON (so that you can SPEAK) AND your cameras ON (so that you can SEE each other).

Group X2 Week 1
Leader: Hanako
Plan A: Speak English, then Write English
Step 2: Noun phrases
 
((鈴)): a // red alarm // clock [2:40]
((高)): her // wall // calendar [3:00]
Now LET's GO to your channels on Teams to ENJOY some English practice in your discussion groups.

Your teacher will SEND you from the class meeting to your Group Channels. MAKE sure that you KNOW which group you are in, so that you do NOT JOIN the wrong group. There should be three or four students in your group meeting. You will WRITE your Group Report (see the example to the right) in the Chat Box(会議 Chat).

You NEED to CHOOSE a group leader for the day.

At the top of your report WRITE four messages:
(message #1) your group's name, "Week 1",
(message #2) the leader's name,
(message #3) Plan A: Speak English, then write English, and
(message #4) Step 2: Noun phrases.

THEN START WRITING your phrases about the assigned video.
First SAY a phrase, then WRITE it (while everyone REPEATS). DIVIDE each phrase into 4区. Also WRITE the time that the noun (person, place, or thing) APPEARED in the video [ 時刻 ] . Your phrases should be about the assigned videos.

If you HAVE any questions about what you are supposed to be DOING, first DISCUSS it in your group, then ... if you are still in doubt, DO what you THINK is right, RAISE your hand and SHOW it to the teacher (the PDS Cycle, aka PDCA Cycle).

These lessons are DESIGNED to HELP Japanese students
to LEARN to SPEAK English as a foreign language. They could
be REVERSE ENGINEERED to help English speakers learn to
speak Japanese as a foreign language.

languages with other teachers. You can CLICK the link above
