近隣のためになる仕事を継続し、自己研鑽も続けたい
もう、左目が開かなくなるかと一時は失望してた私ですが、運よく完全に回復しました。このため、今後は近隣の高齢者の精神的、物理的困難さを少しでも減らせるよう私は持ってる力を使おうと決意してます。
ところが、先日、近所で一人暮らしをしてる高齢女性Tさん宅のゴミ出しをするため、朝、彼女の家に行ったら、いつも家の前に出てあるゴミがなく、しかも、玄関の鍵が閉まっており、チャイムを鳴らしても反応がないのです。「もしや、中で困っているのではないか」と私は慌てました。実は、彼女は日中、近くのデイサービスに行ってることから、私はすぐにそこへ駆けつけたところ、Tさんがいたのでホッとしました。どなたかがゴミを出してくれたようです。
今後も、ゴミ出しに限らず、近隣の高齢者のため、小学生の安全登下校のため、今まで通り、自らの仕事として実践するつもりです。結果的に、私の健康に繋がったり、張り合いになると思います。
ところで、先日、私の愛読書「天声人語2025春」を手に入れた私は早速、読み始めてます。内容は、すでに朝日新聞で発表された3ヶ月分【1月から3月まで】のコラムを一冊にまとめたもので日本語とその英訳が載ってます。私にはこの両方が必要で、現代を取り巻く政治・社会情勢、自然現象、歴史、あるいは生き方を含め、時代の波に乗りたいものです。また、現代使われてる英文に目を通し、特に、新たな英単語の習得に力を入れてます。
しかし、記憶力がそれほど良くない私は、試行錯誤しつつ、効果的な記憶法を身に付けたいです。その一つは、習った単語を実際にこのブログで使うことにしてます。つまり、幼児が言葉を覚えるのに近い方法かもしれません。後は、繰り返しと考えます。
もう一つの方法は自己暗示によって「海外に一人で滞在してる」と仮定し生活します。言葉と生活は密接なので、生活で使えるように覚えなくてはなりません。天声人語を、日々、午前と午後にそれぞれ一日分ずつ読む予定なので、7月中旬の誕生日頃に読み終わる予定です。果たして継続できるでしょうか。
Dear my friends who are crazy about how to memorize English vocabulary and great music.
The simultaneous interpretation into English for your understanding will be done after my breakfast in Japan time.

I was disappointed, thinking I would never be able to open my left eye again, but luckily I have made a full recovery. For this reason, I have resolved to use my abilities to help reduce the mental and physical difficulties of the elderly people in my neighborhood, even if only a little.
However, the other day, when I went to the house of an elderly lady MS. T living alone in my neighborhood in the morning to take out her trash, the trash that was usually placed in front of her entrunce was gone, and the front door was locked, and there was no response when I rang the doorbell. I panicked, thinking, "Maybe she's in trouble alone inside." In fact, she was at a nearby day care center during the day, so I rushed there immediately, as the result, I was relieved to find Ms. T there. It seems that someone had taken out the trash for her.
From now on, I intend to continue doing my job as before, not just taking out her trash, but also for the elderly people in the neighborhood and for elementary school children to go to and return from school safely in traffic. I think that this works will ultimately lead to my health and motivate me.
Not change the subject, but I recently got my favorite book "Tensei Jingo 2025 Spring" and have started reading it right away. The contents are a compilation of three months' worth of columns published in the Asahi Shimbun Newspaper [from January to March] in one book, and it contains both Japanese and English translations. I need both, and I want to ride the wave of the times, including the political and social situation surrounding the present day, natural phenomena, history, and even ways of life. I also read through English sentences used today, and I am particularly focused on learning new English vocabularies
However, I don't have a good memory, so I would like to learn effective memorization methods through trial and error. One of them is to actually use the words I learn in this blog. In other words, it may be a method similar to how young children memorize words. I think it is repetition.
The other method is to use autosuggestion to live as if I were "staying alone overseas." Language and life are closely related, so I need to learn them so that I should use them in my daily life. I plan to read one day's worth of Tensei Jingo every in the morning and one day's worth in the afternoon, so I plan to finish reading it around my birthday in mid-July. I wonder if I can keep it up.
