Today sky was so beautiful and warm, isn't it? So we decided to go out!!! But you know, " Golden week" has started, so any places're crowed with visitors.
Well, I left up to my husband. He took us to " Yosinogari park and ruin" in Saga pref. I've visited for the first time.
Beyond I expected, it was so big place. To exercise it's helpful, too.(^^)
After we had lunch box, walked and walked in the park. Under the wonderful sky, we could refresh, my son was also good in mood. lol lol
There was also a huge play ground. In addition, there were a lot of tools, a slope, some kinds of athletic ones. My son was very excited and enjoyed playing.
When we came back home, I was so worn out...like a dead person...(^^;)
A next door's wife is already 9 months along. So next week she's going to go back to her parents' in order to give birth to a second baby.
Before she goes back, we're having dinner this evening. I can't meet her for a while, so we chatted a lot of things. For instance, have you chosen his or her name? How long will you stay there? and so forth.
We enjoyed having dinner so much.(^^)
She's so attractive woman, always brush her ability of English, herself up and is keeping at it. I encourage with learning English, brushing up.
she's one of whom I admire.
Yes, I'm talking about Emi, who is a representative of English circle and experienced in the job much than me.
This time she wrote about my English class.( thanx a lot.^^) In fact she joined the intermediate class last Wed. (you know,,,she's advanced.)
After then I asked her and another member to give some advice or comments. The comments or opinions were so helpful in the class from now. (Of course, not only them, but other members' are also.)
I really really appreciate them from the bottom of my heart.
In the morning I joined an English circle as usual.
I and my son were the first to come. So, the beginning of class, I could monopolize a teacher.(^^) I had several questions about an article which we were supposed to learn.
On top of that, want him to give some expressions in English for some happening.
Well, recently our circle participants've been decreasing..I think.. Although I can monopolize much than before, I'm lonely a little bit.(^^;)
Today was the second English class which I teach. It was for intermediate members. But, in fact, there were advanced, you know because they were Emi and Masumi who are also English circle's members.
I arrived around 9:40 with my son in tow.( Yes!! I didn't make the same mistake. lol lol) He looked to be a quite good mood. Though I was afraid that he might hinder our learning time, it was against. He played by himself or with an another kid, who is also familiar with, during the time.
On top of that, thank to the staff often paid attention to them, we could spent the time significantly.
As I'm familiar with them, I wasn't nervous as much as before.
We learned( I mean reviewed) several phrases which is high school level, vocabs, synonyms and so forth.
As the adage goes, Time flies...I felt too short time.
This time was also meaningful to me.(^^)
２５日の中級クラスお試しレッスン内容について、詳しい内容をアップします（＾＾）

� 箒甼靴魃儻譴任�話ししてみましょう。
�◆�DUO3.0から(section 1〜2）いくつか例文と単語をpick upします。それぞれの文、単語（類義語など）強化する為、英作にもチャレンジしてみましょう。
��＞高校レベルのイディオム、口語表現を中心に実際に使えそうな語句を学んでみます。
（例えば、What're you driving at? とは？？？）
時間いっぱい充実したものになるように、楽しんで学びましょう！！！
My son's been constipated for 4 days...(--;) It's not the first time.
Have your kid ever been??
He's often done since he turned 2 years old. (Yeah, before 2 years almost everyday he did "number 2".)
Of course I take care of "meals" to help it such as a lot of vegetables, much milk, natto, dairy products and so on. On top of that, exercise or play is enough everyday, I think.
But, it wouldn't work...(--;)
In fact, on last Sun I gave an enema to him for the first time because that he'd been constipated for 5 days. Then less than one minute, he did twice on the day. Moreover he also did the following day.
Do you have any ideas?? uh....am I worrying too much??
A month later I visited an English circle's members' to study together.
There were 4 of us this time, and an another member, who was absent on account of pick her kid up, had to do something for a kindergarten, sent some reports in fax. I was inspired to encourage with keeping at studying.
Though we intended to debate or discuss some theme, the time wasn't enough to do. So the theme was carried over into the next meeting. I'm really immersed in English..So, Whenever, wherever I learn, talk in English, I feel it's not enough...lol lol
Well, next week I'll have an English class, which I teach intermediate students.!! I'm looking forward to seeing members..
As usual I joined the Cafe Morning in the morning. Then I've been feeling gloomy on account of having some questions about English sentences, so I asked her all of them.
She answered warmly and plainly. Yes!!! the questions were cleared completely!! (^^)
since I had the questions I've been looking forward to today...As if I didn't join for a month...So, I felt like that," today's come!!!" lol lol
Well, I often stammered out, dropped some words, however, enjoyed talking. uh... I eager to do more and more..It was not enough...(T T)
Those who learn English around me often say " It's great!!! You should take it!! "
Uh?? What am I talking about??.....I'm talking about " DUO3.0".
A few weeks ago I got it on web-shopping. At first I didn't do that, however, for my English classes and also improving my English I bought.
It's a used, which was about \380, yet it's not dirty, spotless!!! ( Yeah, it was the lowest price at the time.)
After I got it, I flipped through. As I wrote before, ( I found out) I'd known almost all of words of the book. But to review or fix them in my brain and for English class, it's indispensable.
Since then I've checked synonyms, phrases and so forth in each section.
Then some thing came to light....
...that a number of words, phrases I got from some English newspapers, were in the book...I was so surprised..w(@0@)w and also thought I should have got earlier. lol lol lol Don't you think so??
Anyway, it doesn't, however, have some words so I jot down as many vocabs as I know.
Someday to be my own English text book...
先日のレッスン内でお話しした『前置詞』について、新たに少し補足説明させてください。（く、くどいようですが、、、＾＾；）
“場所”を表す、『at』と『in』。基本は、先日ご説明した通りです。
“場所”を話すときも“小”⇒“大”へと（英文レターの書き方と同じです）話します。
そして、“（city, pref名）の（town名）に住んでいる”と話す場合、、、
上記の基本で考え、
『I live at ... in ___ .』
と、お話ししました。こちらも、間違いではないですが、“pref,city"の“town”に住んでいると話す際は、口語上、どちらも『in』を使うのがほとんどのようです。
では、『at』はどのような時に使うの？？と思われるかもしれません。
それは、例えば、、、
『I live at the building in Tokyo.』（私は、東京のそのビルに住んでいるのよ）
というような場合、『at』を用います。
お分かり頂けたでしょうか？？
微妙な使い分けの為、しかも文法上と口語上では違ってくる場合がありますので、この場をお借りしてご説明致します。ｍ（＿ ＿）ｍ
まだモヤット感がございましたら、バシバシお尋ね下さい。
先日の初級お試しレッスンを終え、ご参加して頂いた方々のご感想から少し難しい（特に単語）というお言葉を頂きました。私の下手な進行、内容もそのように感じさせてしまった一つの原因でもあります。（−−；）
そこで、来月から正式スタートするにあたって、こちらのご意見を重々に受け止め、当クラスの内容を改めさせて頂きました。
『初級クラス』（自己作成したプリント使用します）
＊基本は“中学英語”、“入門編”とお考え下さい。
＊単語もごくごくシンプルな簡単なものを例文に挙げます。
＊会話の時間ももう少し時間を取ります。参加者の皆さん同士で質問応答を中心にします。
＊ところどころ英語でゆっくりとお話ししますので、その際はリスニングとしてチャレンジしてみましょう。
＊DUO3.0はこちらでは１、２つ例文に触れるだけにします。（こちらもプリントをご用意いたしますのでお持ちでない方でも大丈夫です）
このような基本で初級クラスは進めていきたいと思います。
来月は先日できなかった『進行形』を学びましょう。（先日お配りしたプリントを使用します）
ご興味を持たれた方はご連絡下さい。（＾＾）プリントをご用意致します。
また、ご質問等がございましたらご遠慮なくお尋ねください。
＜おことわり＞
私自身、教員免許を持たない、一人の英語学習者です。共に学びあっていけたらと願い、今回このような機会を頂きました。
Yesterday was so busy, as I said, but today wasn't so that. In terms of the time and members.
In the morning, the linchpin person called me that her son preferred to play with his friends rather than joining the class so that she gave in to his want. Because she understands that he has a priority over playing, needless to say.
So, there were just 3 of us, including a teacher, today.
As I was the first to come, I could monopolize the teacher!!!(^^) But there was a son, too. Yeah, you know I couldn't help but interrupt our conversation. Especially, when he was talking... So, I'm so sorry...
After 30 minutes or so another came there with a son, who is 1-year-old, in tow. Fortunately, My son was interested in the baby.
Yeah, his attention diverted ( from us )!!! lol lol
After the circle, she could come there with him( after playing ). As I wanted her to have a chunk of time for my English class, we talked about it or and so forth over lunch.
While we were having and talking, my son joined some moms, kids circle and was playing with them. He was very very excited, looked so fun. I appreciated they(including moms) welcomed him.
Then, he played with the linchpin person's son. The son older so that he cared for my son with playing. Thank to him, my son enjoyed very very much. Many thanks indeed!!!
昨日の内容について一部、訂正と補足説明がございます。
I moved here from A two months ago in order to my husband's transfer.
>>> （正）I moved here from A two months ago because of ( for ) my husband's transfer.
と、なります。in order to は、『to do something』の時に用います。
上文の場合、『my husband's transfer』を使っている為、to do sometingの形をとりません。
すみませんっ〜〜（＞ ＜）in order to にしてしまっていました。
お話しに出てきました、the second baby の 『the』か『a』ですが、通例序数には『the』をつけます。
特殊な用法として『もう一つ（another)』という意味で“不特定のもの”を表す場合、『a』をつけます。（ロイヤル英文法より）
なので、話し手の意図が“単なるもうひとりの子”と言う場合、『a second baby』となるのではないでしょうか。
the second...も間違いではないですが、昨日のお話しの内容から、後者が、より適切だったようですｍ（＿ ＿）ｍ
以上、２点お詫びして訂正、補足説明いたします。
この他、『come true』の使い方についてお話しが出ましたが、こちらは『subject』を主語に持ちます。こちらは、『steal』と同じ考え方で、My bag was stolen とは言いますが、I was stolen とはしないのと同様です。なので、I を主語に持ってきて come true を使用する場合は、、、
I make(have) my dream come true..(使役用法）を用いたら如何でしょうか？
何せ私もまだまだ英語発展途上の身、、、。（−−；）先生、教室という言葉なんぞ、滅相もございません、、、。
ご質問等頂きながら、即答出来ないことや今回のように訂正もあるかと思います。共に高めていけたら、、と考えておりますので、ご了承頂けたら幸いです。ｍ（＿ ＿）ｍ
The day's come!!!! My English class, today was for beginners, started!!! I got up early morning in order to ask my parents to care for my son. So after I prepared everything, I went there. As I expected, traffics was backed up and up...I took about 45 minutes(usually 20 minutes). Then I came back home. But............
I found out my house key'd remained in the bag of son, so-called " mother's bag"....I realized it in front of the door..(T T) It was about 9:12...( the class'll start 10:00)
I had to go back....
Yes... I was late... on the first day...
Anyway, as for the lesson, I did my best....I think...(^^;) But I'm so afraid whether members was interested in the lesson or could understand, get some points...
I'll endeavor to become a enjoyable lesson more and more.
Every month I purchase the CNN-EE. So even if the magazines're piling up and up, I can't help buying the new issue. lol lol
I recommend it for the people who learn English because of having a numbers of vocabs, phrases, current English and so forth. On top of that, to improve listening, especially for TOEIC, it's an effective magazine, I think...
Yet...Nowadays I have a perception...I should review every a few months..( Too late?? I perceive it?? lol lol)
Anyway, I'll review whenever I can...not to sill the vocabs, phrases I got out.
So, the day when I made up my mind to do something is a lucky-day!! At once I got down to do from today.
I got a text book, that those who learn English admire, today in order to make original texts out for my English class.
At once I got down to do for beginners' text with flipping through. As they admire it, the book has a number of vocabs and sentences. Moreover there're a lots of synonyms, phrases that I got from English news papers.
I've known almost all of words in the book, but I got several synonyms, vocabs.
I've finished the beginners' text, then I'm going to buckle down to do for the intermadiate's.

This afternoon, when my son was taking a nap, I intended to watch a CNN-DVD of this issue. Then, I found out........
Some of articles, whose all sound has gone....missing....(T T)
Precisely, all articles after Nakata's have goooooooneeeee.....
Just pictures and English-lines only I could...
I can guess the why....
When I went to Yame about a week ago with our family and relatives, I brought it in my car. Then I wanted to watch or listen with driving so that I inserted it. But The player(the front one) was only for CD, MD, Navi's...If I want to watch DVDs, I have to do rear's player,which is for DVD only. But I can watch on a driver's seat.
It was too late when I found out and took out...<(T T)>
Although I've not watched after Nakata's, I'd listened with CD so , it wouldn't hurt me...But But....Regrettable...
Although I joined the talking class last week, I've been craving for learning and talking in English more and more. For one thing, I wanted to talk about last Sun that son experienced some happening.
Yeah, I was the first to come as like last. So I could monopolized the teacher.(^^) It wasn't as much as last class, but I really wanted to talk in ENGLISH..lol lol I'm so " Englisholic"...right??
After a few minutes, regular members joined. I was happy to see Emi and her son in a few weeks.
Well, my English classes're coming soon...So I'm a little bit nervous, however, the expectation's greater by far. (^-^)b
中級クラスの内容ですが、『DUO 3.0+私が持っている参考書』をミックスして作成したプリントで進めていこうかなあと考えております。
なので、お持ちの方で、ご持参されて結構ですし、お持ちでない方でも、新たに購入する必要はございませんので、気楽に参加して頂けます。
“近況のお話し+プリント”という形をとっていく予定です。
As yesterday my husband was day-off, (precisely, due to have a few meetings with some clients in the morning so that he has only afternoon-day-off.) we went to a park to see cherry blossoms.
As I expected, there were a number of visitors, kids, moms, families, elders and so on. Then we went to an athletic ground in the park. Our son seemed to be very happy and enjoyed playing.
After while, when he was playing with a athletic tool ( it was too difficult to play by himself, so I watched by him and helped.), suddenly some kids, who were 4 or 5-year-old boys, came to the tool and one of them said " It's mine!! "( Japanese say " oreno monoda!!!)
Then they snatched it away...
My son didn't seem to understand the mean what they did, however, looked to be so sad, a long face...
Unfortunately, I couldn't say to them anything...Just only I kept son away not to hurt...I should have cautioned them not to snatch, care younger or keep your turns...I know these kids who are 4 or 5 years old are apt to do like that. All the because of that, I should have done as a adult, a mom for them...
I've been very very regretted...and frustrated toward myself...
Have you ever experienced?? Then what did you do??
This morning I was shocked at reading a article, which I've never heard of before....That was MRSA....Have you heard ???
According to the article, a 1-year-old boy died of the virus..He's never been hospitalized. (Generally, the virus gets into human in the hospital.) At first he run a high fever, had a cough. Then the symptom was diagnosed as pneumonia. Then he was prescribed antivirus. But, unfortunately, 10 days later he died. After that, the same of type virus, namely, MRSA was found in his body. It was confirmed for the first time in Japan..
Experts say that it doesn't need to pay attention nervously, but we're to watch from now on not to spread..
Uh....although they said like that, I'm afraid of spreading...as a mom who has a 2-year-old...
How do you feel about it??
