「英作文は英借文」を実践したい

　昨日、戸田書店で今年１月1日～３月３１日までを一冊の本にまとめた「天声人語２０２３春」を購入しました。予定としては一日一話読み続けると８月末には読み終わります。そして、次の「２０２３夏」へと続けばよいのですが、読むのに少なくとも一日３０分かかるので忍耐が要ります。

　というのは、難解漢字や難解英単語の意味を辞書で確認しつつ、特に、英単語については単語ノートに書き写し、意味を調べて書き、ついでに辞書に掲載されてる例文も書き写すからです。これはブログで使えそうな例文です。要するに「英作文は英借文」と考えてます。つまり、学ぶとは真似から始まり、徐々に自らの独創性が加われば嬉しいです。

　ところで、気温の変化のためでしょうか、この１週間、私は体調が思わしくなかったです。徐々の回復を願い、今日の群馬県地方は天気が良さそうなので、烏川や鏑川の土手をウォーキングします。スマホを携帯せず、緑豊かな自然を目に焼き付け、野鳥の声に耳を澄ませます。実は、これが夕食の一杯を美味しくします。本音が出たかな。

Dear my overseas friends including in the southern hemisphere at NZ

　Yesterday, I bought "Tensei Jingo 2023 Spring version" which summarizes the period from January 1st to March 31st of this year in one book at Toda Shoten. As a plan, if reading one episode a day, I will finish reading it at the end of August. Then I could continue to the next one, "Summer 2023," but reading takes at least 30 minutes a day, so I need patience.

　This is because while checking the meaning of difficult kanji which means Chinese character and difficult English words in the dictionary, especially for English words, I copy them in a word notebook, then look up the meaning and write them down, and also copy the example sentences that are listed in the dictionary, because the example sentences could be used on my weblog. In short, I think that "English composition is borrowed English". In other words, learning begins with imitation at first, and if my own originality will be gradually added, I would be happy.

　By the way, I haven't been feeling well for the past week, probably because of the change in temperature in Japan. The weather in Gunma Prefecture looks good today, hoping for a gradual recovery, I will walk along the banks of the Karas River and the Kabra River. Immerse myself in the "lush" nature and listen to the voices of wild birds without carrying smartphone. In fact, this makes a delicious dinner. I wonder if the real intention came out as a "lush".
