PUT

This is characteristic educational system of NUFS and called PUT. Now, I will talk about Outline of PUT.

At first there are main features. [Three students to one tutor] This situation will remove a pressure and fear of speaking English. [Tutors from various nations] We can hear various English in this class, so it’s a good chance to get used to several English. [Speak only English] In the PUT class, English is only the way to express them your opinion.

Next, these are Goals. [Learn conversation skills and strategies] [Improve reading aloud and pronunciation skills] [Practice expressing opinions] This class is one of a few opportunities to speak English with foreigner, so we have to value the chance.

Lastly, I introduce Advanced-PUT. This is next stage for British and American, French, China and Japanese Department. A-PUT is specialized in presentation skill. In second grade, English and Contemporary Society and Global Business Department attend the OCS instead of A-PUT.

Traffic violations


I’m going to talk about violations in Japan. When you drive a car, you should follow many traffic rules. If you violate these traffic rules, you have to pay a fine or be arrested.

Here I introduce about Speeding. You can see the speed limit from the number written on a road or road traffic sign. Drivers must follow these speed limits.

Please look at this figure. This shows how much speeder has to pay as a fine. In case of a standard car, speeder has to pay at least 9 thousands yen. If worst comes to worst, a speeder has to pay 35 thousands yen. It is big economic damage for you. Patrol cars are not always running and checking the speed, but sometimes speed cameras are put on a major road instead of police officers. Therefore you should take care for the speed every time you drive.
