March is coming, reviewing February

Last month was more tough than January because of a lot of assaults and tasks. For instance, I have tried to keep a journal with more words than before. In spite of writing it with 90 to 100 words when I started to keep it, I had dared to write it with 200 to 300 words now. Moreover, I made a rule of getting a review to my teacher to improve the grammar. As a result, the words and grammar in my journal has been getting better than before. And I has been learning some linking words such as providing example, reinforcement, to show similarity/consequence. It helps me to read some paragraphs, books, articles and so on. Actually, when I read some articles which is shared in Quora, I’m getting to be able to read it more frequently than before. That is thanks to this journal and a teacher.

On the other hand, tasks of my work passed a peak on the middle of February. After that, I have dared to do something new such as Golf, editing some present articles on my website and having dinner/lunch with somebody. Actually, even though doing lots of things at the same time is pricey and hard for not only me but also everyone, I’m willing to do that. As almost all of people who are same age with me can’t do that like me because of working for six to eight hour a day. And they don’t have as lots of opportunities as me. while I can do everything and have lots of opportunities to do something new because of stay in Singapore and flexible working.

47 days have gone since coming here. When I’m conscious of the time, I often think that days is so much faster than I thought it would be. Anyway, I intend to find a new thing and try something to increase my English skills because I’d like to review this month with good memories, good feeling and high quality grammar and structure of paragraph.

さて、3月。2月のことを吐き出す。

先月は1月以上にやることが多くて大変でした。例えば、日記を以前より文字数多く書くようにした。書き始めた頃は90〜100字程度だったのが、今ではあえて200〜300字で書いています。また、文法を改善するために、先生にレビューをもらうことをルールとしました。その結果、日記の単語や文法は以前より良くなってきています。また、”providing example” “reinforcement” “to show similarity/sequence” などのlinking wordも勉強しています。段落、本、記事などを読むのに役立っています。実際、Quoraでシェアされている記事を読むと、以前よりも頻繁に読めるようになってきています。これは、このジャーナルと先生のおかげです。

一方、仕事の方は、2月中旬にピークを迎えました。その後、ゴルフをしたり、ホームページのプレゼント記事を編集したり、誰かと食事したりと、新しいことに挑戦できています。実際、いろいろなことを同時にやるのは自分だけでなく、みんなにとってもお金がかかるしで大変なことなのですが、私はそれをやってみたいのです。僕と同年代のほとんどの人は、1日6時間から8時間働き、僕のようなことができないけど一方で今の僕は何でもできるし、新しいことをする機会もたくさんあります。それはシンガポールにいて、フレキシブルに働けているからです。

こちらに来てから47日経ちました。時間を意識してみると、思ったより早いなぁと思うことが多々あります。なにはともあれ、良い思い出、良い気分、そして質の高い文法やパラグラフの構造を持って今月を振り返りたいので、また新しいことを見つけ、自分の英語力を高めるために何かに挑戦するつもりです。
