English Drama for the 5th graders Class
Nisshin Elementary School　

The 5th graders of an elementary school in Akita city has decided to put on 4 English dramas in their newly starting English class. I was asked to translate the Japanese scripts the students are working on into English. If someone reads my translation and come up with the better words, please send them to me. Thanks.

I visited the boys and girls at Nisshin Elementary School and helped them practice their English dramas on February 12, 2002. It was a lot of fun to help them. They are very "genki" and cute students. I thank their teacher, Tomoko sensei for giving me the wonderful chance.

５年３組のみなさんへ

智子先生を通じて、皆さんの手書きのお手紙（約３０通）をいただきました。その内容を読んでとても感激しました。

多くのみんなにとって、英語を話すのが楽しかった事、みんなの頑張りのお陰で、２月２６日のPTAの日の英語劇がとても素晴らしく上演された事、小道具作りが大変だった事、みんなの英語の発音の良さにお父さんお母さん方がビックリされたこと、何度も何度も練習を繰り返したので英語の台詞がとてもスムーズに口から出たこと等、色々な体験談や私にとって役に立つ意見を聞けて大変うれしく有難く感じました。

皆さんのメーセージは永く私の宝物です。本当にありがとうございました。又いつか機会があったらお会いしましょう。
６年生になっても是非元気で楽しく頑張ってください。

＊my email to Tomoko sensei (March 23, 2002)

Hi Tomoko-sensei, 
I just want to tell you how happy I was to read all the letters written by your students. I was very pleased to learn that most of them seem to have done their jobs very well in presenting their English dramas before their parents on February 26. And perhaps more importantly they enjoyed speaking English on the stage.  
 
Will you tell your students my heartfelt congratulations on the success and also my message that they will keep the following thing in their minds? It's a lot of fun to learn English and its culture and certainly it will benefit them in the future.

Thank you again for giving me a chance to help your students.
Takeshi Suzuki

I often tell my students the following:
"Don't think that I am teaching you English! Because I can't. I am only helping you to learn English. You will learn to speak English well if you follow my advice and are willing to learn English for yourself. Someday you will be able to think in English as I do."
