Transcript for my planned English classes
by Will
A class of Tokyo residents sits in front of the video monitor. Its members are eager to learn English. The monitor starts displaying a series of scenes, with the description of those scenes printed at the bottom of the screen in English. A pleasant-sounding narrator reads along with the captions. Some words are capitalized to signal to the students that they are significant.

Class ends. The class waits for more. After a few moments, they slowly file out the door. No one speaks to each other. The final student says “raincoats” to himself as he shuts the door.
