★Soccer Reading
The Japanese Football Association has begun its search for a new national team coach as current gaffer Takeshi Okada has reiterated his intention to step down following the Blue Samurai's World Cup elimination.
"I've coached a lot of teams, but this World Cup team was definitely one of the best. I don't think I'll work with these players again. I just wish them all the best in their careers," Okada was quoted as saying by reporters.
Okada guided Japan to victories against Cameroon and Denmark in the group stage before the Asian titans were eventually beaten on penalties by Paraguay in the round of 16.
Hiromi Hara, JFA technical director, revealed that the Japanese will take their time to appoint a successor for Okada.
"As the most important point, we'll see how each candidate could strengthen our national team. We'd like to make a decision by taking account of not only experience but personality and passion for Japan. We don't want to rush anything. Things will start moving once the World Cup is over," he said to Kyodo News.

Movie Review Response
One movie I want to see is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Here are some reviews:
morganc21 from United States:
"Wow! What can I say? I've been waiting a year and a half for this movie and I can tell you that it was Definitely worth the wait!" Even though Daniel, Rupert and Emma are much older than 14 ... The selection ceremony for the Tri-Wizard tournament was humorous. The look of shock on certain characters faces is unforgettable! The tasks are fun and exciting even though I already knew what was going to happen!
matthewtooke63 from United Kingdom:
"TO be honest, this was my favourite book of all of them so far and frankly i was shocked at how terrible it really was..." All the good parts were missing from the book!! We didn't see David Tennant have his soul sucked which was rubbish, for goodness sake, get it together with amateur acting man!! I hope they pick it up for the next one as I immensely enjoyed "The Order Of The Phoneix" and its structure.
There are many different review of this movie. But I even want to see it, because I love the book and I want to judge this movie by myself.

My goals
1. What is your current language level? (For this class, consider your listening fluency, reading fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and test scores). How do you feel about you ability? Are you satisfied?
A. I am not satisfied with my English level.My listening is fine but I think I should study my vocabulary and grammar harder. I want to speak English more fluently too.
2. What are your long-term English goals? (getting a job using English or requiring a high TOEIC score, volunteer work, maintaining relationships, travel, entertainment, living abroad, etc.)
A. I want to getting a job using English and I want to living abroad someday so I hope I can communicate with people whose mother tongue is English without difficulty.
3. What are your short-term goals for this class this semester?
A. I want to learn more vocabulary and I hope I can speak English more fluently.
4. What is your plan in Language Development to reach these goals?
(NetAcademy2: listening, reading, TOEIC, grammar dojo)
(Ferris Online English Lab: reading, vocabulary, listening to news, topics, or conversations)
A. I want to study TOEIC and Ferris Online English Lab mainly.
You can add to or change these goals as the semester goes on. Please put a asterisk (*) by any new or changed info (so I can see how your goals have changed).
