Lesson4

Dear Professor Garreis,

Thank you for your reply and corrections of my English.
I will answer your last questions.

Do you know other languages besides English and Japanese?
>I know a little Chinese. “?好” is “Hello”

>>Do you know another language besides English?
>No. I must admit I do not. I used to know some French, but I have forgotten almost all I knew.
>I studied Japanese several years ago, but I have forgotten it all except for "sumi massen." I use that a lot!
>I know a word or two of Spanish. Many signs are in Spanish and English now, so a little bit of Spanish sticks.

My favorite summer foods are ice cream and watermelon. No cooking necessary!
>Me, too! I like ice cream.
>I bought 20 pieces it last week.
>These are still left over.
>>Awesome! What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

What is your favorite summer holiday?
>I go to music festivals.
>A number of artists appear.
>It is fun to share the same music with my friends.
>>Who is your favorite musician or group?
>>What is your favorite song that they perform?

For homework last week

Can you think of any way drones would be useful in your life?
>For example, I think that drones can be used at construction sites.
>By confirming the progress of the construction, you can see the state of the work.
>Because my parents are engaged in the construction industry, I think this is a very useful application.

>>Yes, it is!
>>I found this paragraph:

"Despite the public’s concerns, many in the construction industry are finding drones and UAVs can play a vital role in their work. Whether they’re used for surveying, to show clients and potential clients an aerial overview of completed projects, to monitor jobsites to ensure safe practices or to inspect bridges and other structures, drones have the potential to become as important a tool to the industry as any piece of yellow iron."

>I was surprised at how much drones are already being used. I thought they were mostly just toys.
