Good afternoon! First, congratulations on our game of snowman. For a minute there I thought you were not going to make it! Last session you told me that your favourite person from this unit is the Japanese video game designer, so today we read some more about him. Here is the text we read and the activities we did. You can also read the interview and its solution. Yoshiro Kimura is 20 years old. He works in am office for a very big video-game company. He has good friends there, but he cannot be creative at his job. The truth is that he has to make games about fighting and conflict.

You can watch films and eat popcorn here. Now the email : we had to address three things: We rec
