2020/07/21 英語学習メモ 213日目: 超長期戦。それ自体を楽しめる要素があるのはありがたい

2020/07/21タカハシ(@ntakahashi0505)の英語学習メモです。

レアジョブレッスン201回目

今回は、週２のフリートーク。

テーマは「My Goals」。濃ゆい。

質問はこちら。

Do you set goals a lot?
Do you prefer big goals or small goals?
What goals do you have now (ex. save money, lose weight)?
What kind of goals did you set when you were in high school (ex. get perfect test scores, get into a good university)?
What kind of goals did you set when you were a child (ex. become an astronaut, learn how to play an instrument)?
What was the last goal you achieved?
What do you do to try to achieve your goals (ex. make a schedule, announce your goal to friends)?
Have you ever given up on a goal?
Did your parents ever set goals for you?
What was the biggest goal you ever achieved?

比較的普段から目標などは意識しているほうだけど、こうして改めて英語のレッスンを通して整理してみると面白い。

特に、4,5 あたりの質問についての答えは自分でもすっかり忘れていたのだけど。

I set a goal to become a teacher.
Actually, It has been achieved in a way.
I teach besinessmen about programming now.

I set a goal to become a programmer.
In fact, It has been achieved, too.

ということで、いずれも達成していたんだ。達成していないのは、ミュージシャンだけ。

I said: I like to video games very much.
Better: I like to play/playing video games very much.

I said: I enrolled another University.
Better: I enrolled in another University.

I said: It is independent and starting on a business.
Better: It is being independent and having my own business.

フリートーク。

瞬発的なリスニング・スピーキングを鍛えるために週２で入れるようにしたのだけど、それ以外にも各トピックについて考えをまとめるよい機会なのかも。

英語学習は超長期戦なので、それ自体を楽しめる要素があるのはありがたいね。
