The plane was arriving at eight. A tram was just arriving at the hill foot.

How do you encourage active participation and critical thinking in your classes, especially when dealing with students who may be more reserved or hesitant to speak up? That’s an excellent question. To encourage active participation and critical thinking, I begin each class with an icebreaker activity to help students feel comfortable speaking. I also establish ground rules for a respectful and open environment, emphasizing adherence to university harassment guidelines, respecting diverse perspectives, and fostering constructive discussions. Recognizing that many students fear judgment, I make it clear that our class is a space for learning rather than competition. I reassure them that our goal is to grow together, not to showcase individual skills. Additionally, I bring enthusiasm to my teaching. When students see my dedication and passion, they respond more positively, which naturally increases their engagement.

I like a lot of video games. For example, fighting and airplane.

I do not think so because we are destroying the environment. We need keep our country clean and plant trees.

I am not so sure about that because there are a lot of unique jobs in Bangladesh. I think agriculture work is very unique.

As we get on a train for a trip, we actually get into another world. Surrording by strangers, we don't care more about what we will do. The only thing we should do is to relax ourselves as much as possible. Eating snacks, walking back and forth , enjoying the different scenery outside the windows, etc...... I have returned from my last trip for many days, but the great experiences still come into my mind. The trip was planned for my daughter. She always likes singing songs at home, and she noticed that there was a place often appeared in one of her favourite songs. So, she wanted to have a check. You know that the place is 2,000 kilometres aways from where we live, but as we got on the train, everything became easy. The long trip was full of joys, food and music. After we arriveed at the spot appeared in the song,we met a lot of other fans of the singer, too! Everyone was excited there, and took a lot of pictures. So, we often say that let's go on a trip without thinking about more, just do it!

It's sunny today. We took a bus to visit the Fukuoka Dome in the morning. Since there wasn't a game going on, we basically strolled around the HAWKS, the stadium and the shopping center. Dad bought a signed number-9 baseball, and I got another beautiful one-piece, while Mom was struggling to figure out how we could fit all our purchases into our luggage. We spent the rest of the day sauntering through the alleys, looking for hidden shrines and shops. Finally, we had dinner at a tiny bistro. The owner was the chef, the waiter, and the dishwasher—a one-man operation. The master was nice and his food was amazing. But I think my dad drank all the draft beer he could provide, it was a little awkward, I didn't see any spare cans in the kitchen. It seemed our presence caught the master off guard. My mom also ate his rice cooker empty. God, our rice cooker back home is bigger than this one in size. Everything here is so small and cute!

Don't fell in love.
