Thanks for Yuki's late comments and my comments on her Website

Yuki's Website 31-10-2007

You designed a very attractive website. I like the background colour! Very soft and comfortable view! The materials and activities are well-selected and effective. All the links do work and pictures are nice.
I have some questions after reading your website.
You didn't mention the background information of your learners, such as their age and the level of English. I think your target audience are primary or junior high students. Young people are very interested in reading your topic and enjoy doing the activities. However, I read your blog and I realise that your target students are freshmen in the college (19-20 years old). If it's true then I think all the exercises are too easy and too brief (2 to 4 questions per activity) for them.
For example, matching activity is too simple, it would be better if you can use some long sentences instead or match the history of the sports. What do you think?
The cloze is not too hard, from my point of view, learners don't need 10 minutes to finish all the tasks, you might be underestimated their abilities.
It would be better if you can use drag and drop in the Mix activity.
In short, I like the Quiz exercise because you put the reading text together and the questions are interesting. Also, the crossword is well-designed and suits your students.

You did a good job!
