英語で日記を書いてみる

英語を上達させる方法を考えていたら、英語で日記を書くのが良いのではないかという結論に至った。

同じような方法を考える人はいるみたいで、英語日記BOY 海外で夢を叶える英語勉強法という本はそこそこ有名らしい。

この本を購入して読んだわけではないが、最初は日本語で文章を考えてから英語に翻訳するのが良いというのがこの本のメッセージの一つらしいので真似してみた。

直接英語で文章を書こうとすると自分が扱える簡単な文法や単語で構成されてしまうので、言いたいことが言えるようになるには日本語から英訳するのが良いらしい。

これには納得感がある。

ただ、そもそも日記を書く習慣をつけるのが難しいのに、さらに英訳するというのは非常に負荷が高いので毎日はできなそうだ。

とりあえず今日初回チャレンジに成功したので記念に載せておく。

In this morning, I watched an NBA game with my friend online.

Rakuten NBA is an online service in Japan to watch NBA games, and this service allows us to watch a game for 500 yen.(that is nearly equal to 4 dollars)

Though there are subscriptions that makes you watch a game everyday and you can watch a live random match-up , but my problem is, I have no time to watch everyday.

So, one game pass is much more cost efficient compared to the monthly subscription, but this is useful to me because I can choose the game that I'm interested in watching.

We chose the game of Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies.

I'm excited to Grizzlies players who are young and energetic.

Especially, Dillon Brooks (who is Grizzlies player and active in this game) his passion fascinates me, he is not sophisticated player but he has a bright future ahead of him.

After watching NBA, I did household chores, and went to a cafe.

I often go to this coffee shop, but today I sat in the counter for the first time.

In the counter, a employee brewed a coffee in front of me.

I watched him brewing but his technique in brewing was unexpected to me.

At first, he did not spend pre-infusion time, and the powder to brew one cup is more than I expected.

When he was not in busy, I asked him how to brew.

He told me the brew recipe and he said that he reached the recipe in order not to wait a customer.

This shop's coffee is one of my favorite, so I will brew in the same way in my house.
