summary
In this article, the university which focuses on English education increases in Japan, and the author indicated one shcool. ICU, international christian university, is one of the schools which are rtying to develop the English education. ICU offers students not only English education but also many kinds of educational chances by teaching in small groups. In addition, the university gave students opportunities to learn English; for example, in the domitory, Japanese people can live with students who are from different contries. There is a program where they can go abroad as a volunteer. In terms of English calsses, Japanese students have to take no more than 13 English classes in a week dering their first year. Then they are taught about how to discuss and write in English. ICU is the university which has a good English education system.

Reaction
ICu is a good environment to learn English. Especially, the great point which this university has is the abundance of class. According to the article, every manfresh has to take 13 classes, so each of them must develop their four skills in English. In this university, they should continue to take English until they graduate. And they will be able to find their new character because they take other classes besides English. In addition, this university gives many chances to speak with foreigners in English by making a dormitory in which they can live with them. It is an important thing to touch English everywhere. Moreover, this university gives a chance for them to go abroad as a volunteer. I think going abroad is the best way to improve the English skill. And if people can go abroad, they can experience several things, such as local food, cluture, and living. They can expand their thought abd view, so it will be useful in the future. I am just feeling other culture now. I wish the experience of living for a long time in America could be helpful in the future.
