Easy Reading - My name is Noriko Ikebata from Japan. There are many stories in this site. so it is too hard to choice in them. I like to read interesting stories, so I read that I am interested in some stories in this site. There are many stories in many world. In those stories, there are some stories I know. They are Japanese stories. I read them when I was childhood. I remaind those stories by my childhood, so I enjoyed. Also, I am interested in science a little bit. So I looked the science page. In that it was written Mille's study. When I was high school student, I had listend about Mille in Biology class. So when I looked Mille's article, I was surprised. I wanted to look about Watson and Crick, but I couldn't find the page. Now I use this system not well. But I use to use this system, I want to enjoy more on this site.

I found it using search engine and I will become a regular.

Flash Style - Web Design Studio. The most stylish site I have ever seen, great 3D effects, be sure to explore their "sketches" section! Interesting design approach. The only weak point I found - it doesn't work well under the different platforms.

I like Phonetics: The Sounds of American English. This web page is really interesting for me because I have trouble with my English pronunciation. It contains sounds, movies and animations. In addition, it has some example words. It helps me to learn how to pronounce consonants because animations and movies are helpful. It is hard to master English pronunciation for native Japanese speakers because we have so many denizens from English. These Japanese words confuse my English pronunciations. I want these kinds of web pages designed for the Japanese English learners.

This web site is a rich resource center. I am sure it is an ideal resort of teachers of English as a Foreign language, in particular most members of the present course on Integrating the Internet in the Classroom. It can be exploited in hundreds of ways, depending on the teachers^" objectives. It offers materials that suit both adolescent and adult learners and taps different domains. Pleas try it and reflect about its value as supplementary teaching aids. In addition to the useful directories suggested, thsre are the topics dealt with within this site:
