002-D-313

In this course, students are 1) to read 'expository writing' with a variety of topics in natural science, 2) to be given some opportunity to express their own thoughts in English and 3) to do listening exercises once in a while.

Students will be able to 1) feel comfortable in reading relatively easy English, 2）express one's own thoughts in writing and 3) hopefully listen to some Enligh passage more easily than before.

Make sure to be in the classroom on time. Coming late for the class 'three times' will be counted as 'one absence'. You need to attend at least 2/3 lessons all through the academic year. That is, if you are absent more than 4 times in one session, then you can not write the final exam of each session. No tardy slip given by railway companies are accepted.
