水曜日Workshop

今日は、あるステイトメントに対し、英語で相槌をうってから即興スピーチを始めるという練習でした。

ちょっと大変かなと思ったけれど、実は、意外と簡単だったかな？というのが、私の感想　💯

Today, we tried an activity where participants first gave a backchannel response in English to my statement and then delivered an impromptu speech.

It seemed a bit challenging at first, but surprisingly, it turned out to be easier than expected—at least, that was my impression.

Statement：

"Watching movies at home is more comfortable than going to the theater.”

Response:

Exactly. My opinion is that watching movies at home is very comfortable. We can easily move around for a drink or a bathroom break, and we don’t have to worry about phone calls. So, I like watching movies at home. But these days, I watch more TV dramas than movies.

One good point is that we can pause the movie whenever we need to.

Statement:

Listening to music can really change my mood.

Response:

 Of course!

When I have trouble, I listen to music, and it helps me relax. I love music. But recently, I don’t understand new music. I prefer old songs.

For example, I like Enka. And I like listening in the bath tub.

But I don’t want my wife to hear it. So I keep the volume low. I enjoy listening to music on the radio, TV, and while driving. Music is good for me. It helps me relax. That’s all.

Statement:

It’s nice to have a small daily routine, like drinking tea at the same time every day.

Response:

Totally! I have a lot of routines. Waking up, checking my blood pressure, eating breakfast—same routine every day. It’s comfortable.
