Ayumi Kawano's Graduation Project Page

In order to participate in this project, please do the following:

  1. Please go to http://masle.com/howtovideos.htm and watch the first video on the top of the left menu bar Register for MASLE and take a test.

  2. Please go to http://popear.com and register. (class key is "supras")

  3. Take two tests: please try "1. Welcome" first (this is a very brief warmup to familiarize yourself with the system). After this, you can do "North Wind" where you will be reading the following passage in six parts.

The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak. They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveler take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other. Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveler fold his cloak around him; and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shined out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak. And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two.

   4. BONUS if you would like to do it just for fun, there is the "4 Couper" test. This one can be graded by machine. If you do this, I'll send you your score!
