Again, this year, I will undertake a special class project titled “30-Day Challenge,” from April 19 through May 18. I have informed the registered students in AES Studies in English L that I will also be participating in the project. The purpose of this project is to sustain motivation for a continuous 30 days. This year, I will read one novel by spending at least 10 minutes a day to reading.
- Spare 10 minutes every day for reading a novel on the train (basically).
- Pay attention to the vocabulary, especially to the words listed in the English Playbook (2024).
- Find an appropriate place or time to read (e.g., on the train).
If you have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to share them. Wish me luck!

30-day challenge-2 : Reading a novel on the train (May 15-June 14)
I was fascinated by reading books on the train. As a continuation from the previous challenge, I will read another novel, which I bought in a bookstore in Honolulu, Hawaii, this January.
