**①Improvement of Writing and Speaking**
こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. In this series, I will share my way of practicing N5 to Beginner and Intermediate level learners who want to review grammar by writing sentences.
This series also contains Speaking exercises for Beginner level. Usually, beginners have difficulty judging which topic is more important. From Japanese speaker’s viewpoint, I will choose the more important and skip the less important grammar topics. This way, you can save time. This could be considered a shortcut.
If you try to write your answer in accordance with the “②Instruction of Exercise” below and post them within “48 hours” from posting this thread, I will try to comment on and check your sentences. Although I cannot respond to all (Especially, off topic) because I have limited time, I will try to comment. Also, I welcome you to follow my SNS and Reddit account.
​
**②Instruction of Exercise**
If you are N5 Beginner level, start from “**Procedure 1”**. If you are intermediate level learner, see **“Procedure 2”**.
**“Procedure１ for Beginner Level”**
(Step1): Check “Vocabulary” meaning in the list from the below link.
(Step2): Check and understand “Grammar” from the below link.
(Step3)：You can check “Speaking Practice Video” in the below link and get used to how to use appropriately this time grammar topic to make sentence. You can also check “Practice Sheet”. You can use it for your speaking practice.

​
(Step4): Writing Exercise:
(W1) Read “☆Basic Example Dialogue” between Person A&B below. The Dialogue contains Grammar Topic “Taform＋り、Taform＋りします。”.
(W2) Try to make your dialogue between Person A&B like “☆Basic Example Dialogue”. In your dialogue, please try to use this time grammar topic “Taform＋り、Taform＋りします。” appropriately. Millions of mistakes are necessary for improvement, so you do not have to hesitate.
N5 level learner, if you have difficulty to write Dialogue style sentence, it is OK to write single sentences with grammar topic and also OK to use only Hiragana. (It is easy-to-read to make space between word and word).
(W3) Post and share your dialogues in 48 hours from posting this thread.
​
**“Procedure 2 for Intermediate Level”**
(W4) Like below “☆Advanced Example Dialogue”, try to use this time Grammar topic **“**Taform＋り、Taform＋りします。**”** **at least once** and make your original Dialogue. In other words, if you just use the topic at least once, you do not have to use the topic anymore and you can make your dialogue freely. It is also OK to add more Person A&B part to make longer Dialogue.
(W5) Post your Dialogue in 48 hours from posting this thread.
​
**③Example Dialogues**
I cited below \[\*1\] sentences from Page 164, Lesson 19, 練習B-4 in みんなの日本語 初級Ⅰ第Ⅱ版 本冊. I added “\[ \] My grammar interpretation”.
**“☆Basic Example Dialogue”**
A: どようびは なにを しますか。 \[\*1\]
doyoubi wa naniwo shimasuka
What will you do on (next) Saturday?
\[This question sounds asking about a plan for next Saturday. You can also say どようび、なにをしますか。 When we put “どようび time expression+は”, どようび becomes Topic in the sentence. When we omit はand put just どようび that sounds adverb. However, the meaning of both sentences is almost same.\]
B: さんぽした り、 えを かいた りします。 \[\*1\]
sanpo sita ri ewo kaita risimasu
On (next) Sunday, I will go for a walk, draw a picture and so on.
\[When we want to introduce examples of Subject’s actions, we can use the pattern “Taform+り、 Taformりします。”. So, Person B have a plan to do several things and just introduced 2 things as examples. さんぽます→さんぽしたTaform, かきます→かいたTaform. The tense at the end of sentence decides whole tense of sentence. You can also say さんぽをしたり、えをかいたりします。\]
**“☆Advanced Example”**
A: 明後日（あさって）は祝日（しゅくじつ）ですね。何をしますか。
B: 明後日は、家で自転車を直（なお）したり、部屋を片付（かたづ）けたりします。
ここ最近（さいきん）、忙（いそが）しくて、全然（ぜんぜん）、家の用事（ようじ）ができなかったんですよ。Aさんは何か予定（よてい）がありますか。
A: 私も、忙しくて、庭の手入（てい）れができなかたので、庭で草刈（くさか）りをしたり、木を切ったりしますよ。
So, like this, if you add \[ \] explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to understand and check your sentences more accurately.
