mi-chiの英語成長日記

   Yeah! We got a game-machine named "wii(NINTENDO)" last Sunday. My two daughters and I love playing games. We wanted the machine very much. However,it was sold out for a long time because it was very popular. My younger daughter caught the news that the machine will be sold in the shop which is near my house. So,we went to the shop in early morning and got it!

   We love RPG such as like the "ZELDA series" and the "FINAL FANTASY series" and puzzle games like the "TETLIS". Do you know them? Have you done these games?? Of course,we got a new title of the "ZELDA",too!!

I found I must study to grammar at first because I don't know about grammar very well. Exactly,I studied grammar in our school for many years,however I almost forgot them.  Of course I know a lot of reading and listening are very important. However I think that I am better if I do them after I understood English grammar.

We attended our daughter's athletic festival in elementary school. It was very exciting day!
The school is very small and there are about two hundred children,because we have a lot of schools near my house. There are four schools walking within about 15 minuetes.

This field event name is "Kiba-sen".
They make groups of four, then three children make a horse, and one child who puts red or white cap(their color) on their head rides on it. 　All groups are separate into two teams called "red-team" or "white-team". The groups try battle. They try to get enemy's cap. GO FIGHT!!!  GO BATTLE!!! It is very exciting!

 This folk dance name is "Nantyu-Soran".
It is strenuous dance. They are wearing red-clothes called "happi" and they dance to the music that arranged  Japanese famous folk music called "Soran-bushi".

The finish was wonderful!

Lunch

These were our lunch. yummy!

Today,I will write about my dogs. 　I am so sorry, if you know about it already.

Cherry (American Cocker Spaniel :Photo 1)

   She is 6 years old, and she is the most oldest in our dogs. She is very gentle and kind dog.  But she has not enough eyesight. She has a serious genetic disorder, hereditary cataract. Unfortunately it is very many diseases to cockers. She became it at only 11months, and she went through a major operation. But she is very cheerful ecept it.

Luna (Yorkshire terrier:Photo 2)

    Luna is 5 years old. I enjoyed dog-show with her. She was very beautiful and she has a title of a champion.

   "Asia international dog show" is the most famous and big show in Asia. She received Excellent prize in this show. (Photo 3)

Jubi (Yorkshire terrier:Photo 4)

  Jubi is 4 years old and cowardly and spoiled child. I find she loves me most. She is very cute!

Neu (Yorkshire terrier:Photo 5)

  Neu(pronunciation is noi. Neu means "new" in German.)  only is a boy in our dogs. And he is Luna's son. He is still 7 months.  He is the most biggest of all and he is a very funny boy.

  This is Neu (3 days old)  He is the first baby who was born in our home. (Photo 6)

notes;

• "she is the most oldest in our dogs" should be "she is the oldest of our dogs" ("Oldest" is a superlative, It already means "most." )("X of Y" X is one that belongs to group Y)
• "she has not enough eyesight" should be "she has poor eyesight" ("Eyesight" is "poor.")
• "Unfortunately it is very many diseases to cockers." should be "Unfortunately it is a common disease among cockers." ("It is a disease."= singular )
• "She became it at only 11months" should be "She contracted it at only 11months"
• "she is very cheerful ecept it. " should be "she is very cheerful despite it."
• "She received Excellent prize in the show." should be "the Excellent" or "an Excellent" ："Excellent" requires an article ("a" or "the").
• "Jubi is 4 years old and cowardly and spoiled child." should be "Jubi is 4 years old, and is a cowardly and spoiled child." (When both sentences have the same subject they can join with a comma and "and." )
• "Neu … only is a boy in our dogs." should be "Neu … is the only boy of our dogs."
• "He is the most biggest of all" should be "He is the biggest of all" or "He is the biggest of them all" (better)

I get some books for my study English.
One of them are about grammar books that title are "Through Pictures Book" series written by I.A.Richards and Christine Gibson.  I think that the preposition is most difficult of all to me.
The books are written about them very well and written in easy words.　I like these books very much.     

note:

• " I get "should be "I got" (past tense)
• "my study English" should be "my English studies"
• "One of them are" should be "One of them is"
• "about grammar books that title are ..." should be "a grammar book from the..."
• "...most difficult of all to me" should be "...the most difficult of all."
• "The books are written about them very well and written in easy words." should be "The books are written very well,and in easy-to-understand words.

Thanks!!!!!!

私の一番身近にある目標は”パパ（主人）に追いつく”です。

学生時代に英語をちゃんとやった人なので、それなりに英語ができます。

（とは言っても、かなり忘れているそうですが）

正直言いますと、私の英語は余りにもひどすぎるので

ブログなり、メールなり　とにかく人目にさらす時には　

取り合えずパパさんにチェックをしてもらっています。

そのパパさんから、厳しいけど、当たっている一言。

「もうチェックはしない。　訂正してくれる人もいるんだから、とにかく自分の言葉で書いて

どんどん訂正してもらいなさい」って。

確かにそうなんですよね～

いくら訂正してもらっても、パパさんが書いた文を訂正してもらっていたら

結果的にパパさんの勉強にはなるけれど、私の勉強にはならない。

ってことで、今日からのブログはさらにひどいものになります(^^;)

I am is dogs like is in by in to is........

な～んて、unbelievable　な文がかなり飛び出すと思います。

どんどん訂正してやってください。

この「絵で見る英語」は、そんなパパさんに薦められたシリーズ。

私がもっているのはかなり昔のものなので、こんなに素敵な装丁ではないのだけど

きっと中身は同じだと思います。

本当に簡単な単語を使い、簡単な表現をしているのだけど　「あ、ここではこの前置詞を使うんだ」とか

「こんな言い方をするんだ」とか、かな～り勉強になります。

うん、もっともっと勉強しないとね！！

My study was started now.　It is study of me true. There are words and expressions written by myself.
They are very poor and they might look like a child say.
Please correct my mistakes and teach me how I should say in natural English.

note:

• "My study was started now" should be "My study has just begun."
• "It is study of me true" should be "It is study truely for me." かも？
• "...child say" should be "...child saying"

thanks!!!

My first writing returned from The Linguist and I am so exciting!
This correction report system is so great and I came to love The Linguist more and more.
Because the corrector taught my mistakes and  some weak points, I came to understand my weak point very well.
Perhaps,I might make a mistake again and again. However,I believe many mistakes make my English.

    I went to the park which we called "Port tower" with my family. Its name isn't "Port tower"in fact. There is a famous tower named Port tower so we called it from the tower's name.  We enjoyed to walk. There were the big sun,nice winds and the sounds felts good. My older daughter walked with a cocker called cherry. Cherry is 6 years old,and she is the most oldest in our dogs. She is a very gentle and kind dog.  Younger daughter walked with a yorkshire terrier named Luna and she is 5 years dog.  She is a beautiful and calm dog. I and my husband walked with Jubi and Neu(pronunciation is noi. Neu means new in German.) They are yorkshire terrier,too. Jubi is 4 years and she is cowardly and mama's baby.   Neu only is the boy in our dogs. And he is Luna's son. He is still 7 months.

• "We enjoyed to walk." should be "We enjoyed the walk."
• "Younger daughter walked..." should be "The younger daughter walked..." or "My younger daughter walked..."
• " she is 5 years dog." should be " she is a 5 year old dog."
• "They are yorkshire terrier" should be "They are yorkshire terriers"

今日はThe Linguistの作文提出にチャレンジしてみました。

相変わらずのブロークンイングリッシュなので、添削がとっても楽しみです。

Enjoy English!!

I think there are many learner for English. And there are a lot of reason why they study it,too. One of them is for business,for qualification,for life and so on. Then why am I? My reason is for hobby. I love watching American TV drama and watching movies on DVD. Because I can't understand what they say,I read a title on the screen when I am watching them. Of course I  was satisfied at first.
But I became interested for English that they speaks in them. If I can enjoy without title? If I can understand what they say? I think that is wonderful!! Do you think my reason is very silly? Exactly Yes. However this reason is very important for me to keep studying English.  I think it's very important to enjoy to study it. Of course to study English is very hard for me. But I don't want to forget what I feel for English, it is a fun and interesting. And  I want to continue studying.

ってな感じで、英語への気合（？）を書いてみました。

語彙も全くなく、文法もメチャクチャなのですが、下手の横好きとでも言うのか

文章をあれこれ書くのは結構好きだったりするのですよね。

・・・好きなくせに、なぜ上達しない？？　Oh,It is an eternal mystery!!

英語ができる方が多い中、私のあまりにも酷い英語に驚かれるかと思います。

「そんなに酷かったら、一生かかっても英語なんて使えるようにならないよ」

はい、ごもっともです。

なんと言っても、今の私は中学英語の文法や単語さえ分からないのですから。

でも、頑張ってみようかと思います。　ぜひお仲間に入れてやってください。

英語を頑張っている皆さんのように、私も英語で日記を書いてみようかと思います。

そこで、せっかくの機会なのだから　

背伸びしない、ありのままの力でまずは書いてみようかと思います。

最初に辞書などを一切使わず、今の自分の力だけで書く。

そして辞書を使ってもう一度書いてみる。

かなり勇気がいるのですが、気取ってみたり　背伸びしたって高が知れている。

じゃ、最初から出来ないぶりを見てもらおう・・・と恥も外聞も取っ払いました。

かなり見難い日記になるかと思いますが、訂正やアドヴァイスなどありましたら

どんな小さなことでもありがたいです。　どうぞバシバシ訂正して下さい。

最近、ずっとThe Linguistという英語の学習システムが気になり
