Today is my off day!
I had been weeding in my vegetable garden for 2 hours early morning. After I came back, I did the washing. Then I went shopping in the supermarket to buy groceries for this week. I found that it was at twelve noon when I came home.
I listened to 攻略リスニング入門. When I was preparing for it yesterday, I thought it was easy to understand. But listening to it, I found it that I had been just conceited. Without looking at the textbook, there were a lot of words I couldn't follow. Mr.Shibahara said that we shouldn't leave any words or grammar unclear because we could make out what was written about. And he said we should make everything clear and grasp the whole with review. Otherwise we couldn't expect further improvement. I thought that his words were exactly aimed at me. Come to think of it, I took a review as just reading through again and memorizing some expressions which I was interested in. Of course I often try to use the words I learned through this program in my diary. But that's not enough.
Actually, I like shadowing and overlapping. And I've already begun struggling with recitation. I made up my mind to do dictation too. I know it's tough, but I'll give it a go.
今日は休みだ！
朝早く畑で２時間畑で草むしり。 帰ってから洗濯して、１週間分の食料を買い出しにスーパーへ。 帰ってきたら昼の１２時。
攻略リスニング入門を聴いた。 昨日予習をしていた時、簡単だと思った。でも、聴いてみてそれは単なる私の思い上がりだったと気づいた。 テキストなしではついて行けない単語がたくさんあった。 柴原先生が、なんとなくわかるからといってひとつひとつの単語や文法をわからないままにしてはいけないと言った。 復習のときは一字一句しっかり聴き取って意味を把握するようにとも言った。 そうでないと、それ以上の上達は望めないと。 まさに私に向けられた言葉だと思った。 考えてみれば、復習って読み返して興味のある表現を覚えるぐらいだと思っていた。 そりゃ、覚えたのを日記で使うようにはしているけど。 でもそれじゃあ足りない。
実際、私はシャドウイングやオーバーラッピングは好きだ。 暗唱も始めた。ディクテーションもすることにした。 大変なのは知っているけど、とにかくやってみよう。

ありがたい情報感謝します。来週のお盆休みが楽しみ(^_^)v
ご丁寧にありがとうございます。
なんかすごく難しそうだけど、お盆休みにやってみます。
BBCの記事を出すとき、紙にhttpをメモって、グーグルのページに戻って検索したんです。原始的だなあと思いつつ・・・。今年の課題はPCかな。
I just do what I want to.
For me, you are great! Because you joined radio calisthenics before you go to work in the morning.
I can't do that.
攻略リスニング入門 is really tough, but it's interesting.
I'm going to make the best use of it. I'm sure it'll do for me.
You spend very hard day!!!
I can't do like you.
I really think you are super mother!!!!!!!
I have listened to 攻略英語リスニング about a year.
But I don't understanding dialogs without the textbook.
Mr.Shibahara usually said "Words you can reading are words you can listening."
I gradually want to increase my vocabulary and English backgrounds.
さすが、ひでさんのスパーマザー！
切れ目なくキュウリが食べられますね。ウチはしばらくキュウリなしです。
来年は、最初のが盛んなうちに蒔こうっと。
いやいや、ひでさんは日常の何気ないできごとや気持ちを簡潔に英語にしてるではありませんか。自分の進歩にはなかなか気づかないものですよ。続けさえすれば、大きな進歩に気付く日がくるはずです・・・と信じてお互い頑張りましょう。(^_^)v
私はといえば、暑さものせいもあり、毎日もういっぱいいっぱいで、のびしろがないのが
残念！ そう、キュウリですが、家では第３弾は先月２０日過ぎくらいに種まき？
したとのことでした。
Thank you for your kind comment!
I'm glad to hear that. when I was a student, I could easily know how I improve myself through exams, which I didn't like at all.
Now I can't see clearly how much I progress I have made.
But I believe my effort won't betray me.
Yes, it was busy.
But luckily I had time to drink with my friend, who lives on the 8th floor in the same apartmenthouse. We talked a lot about our dieting over a can of beer.
Don't worry!
I also make a lot of mistakes, you know. And I don't even notice them.
I used to try to get up at 6:00 and sprang out from bed at 6:30.
But during this summer I usually get up at 5:30 and 10 minutes later I leave for my vegetable garden. I don't want to go there in the strong sun. That's why I go to bed earlier than before these days.
Wow!
You had a busy day today!
You were doing well, I'm sure your English will progress.
Go for it!
もちろん体は大事にしてくださいね☆
