topic 7

Heya ga mittsu arimasu. Our topic today,, we learn about ‘ie’(house). Sensei ask us what kind of house do we live in? well, in Japan, they have ‘apaato’ to ‘manshon’ to ‘ikkodate’ desu. While in Malaysia, we have many types of house such as ‘furatto’, ‘kondominiamu’, ‘rinku hasu’, ‘semi dii’, ‘bangaroo’. Sensei told us that Japanese home for single person is very small and usually they live in ‘apaato’. Other than that, ‘manshon’ and ‘ikkodate’ are bigger for family home. Sometimes it depends on places like Hokkaidoo, Osaka, and Tokyo. And here are some adjectives to describe the house such as ‘semai’(narrow), ‘hiroi’(large), ‘akarui’(bright), ‘kurai’(dark), ‘atarashi’(new), ‘furui’(old), ‘chiisai’(small), and ‘ooki’(big).

Next, as usual, do in pair and talk about our house and take note what kind of house that your partner lives in. so this is how I describe about my house:

·         Watashi wa serangoru ni sunde imasu

·         Watashi no ie wa ikkodate desu

·         Kazoku to sunde imasu

·         Watashi no ie wa chiisai desu

We can ask our friend’s house like ‘donna ie desuka?’ And my friend’s house is like :

·         Mari-san wa keda ni sunde imasu

·         Mari-san no ie wa ikkodate desu

·         Otto to sunde imasu

·         Mari-san ni ie wa atarashi desu

Then, let’s take a look about what things in our home. ‘ie ni nani ga arimasuka?’’ikutsu arimasuka?’ here’s how we answer it..‘terebi ga arimasu’ ‘sofa ga hitotsu arimasu’.

‘ie ni heya ga arimasuka?’(what do you have in your room?)

• ·         Watashi no ie niwa
• ·         Heya ga mittsu arimasu.
• ·         Beddo ga arimasu.
• ·         Terebi wa arimasen
• ·         Eakon mo arimasen.

We learn some new simple kanji on this topic that is ooki, chiisai, atarashi, and furui.

And then, we learn how to send an email to invite friend to come to our house.. ‘asobi ni kite kudasai’. As a homework, we need to send an email to sensei and invite her to our house.
