「知らなければ損をする、英会話レッスンを受けている初心者の英語がぐんと上達する方法」

 

Monday, September 18th.

I started my fasting from today.  In the morning, I felt really hungry!  I felt like giving up but somehow I put put with it.  What is really bad is the lesson is all about food and restaurant this week for my day time class!  I have to listen about good restaurants all this week.  When students were talking about it, I kept thinking about food.  🙁

I have two more days to go.  I hope I can put up with it.  Right now, I really want to eat Ramen, though. 

put up with 「我慢をする」

Today is the last day of fasting for me.  It’s funny that I don’t feel hungry at all.  I also feel really refreshed.  When I woke up this morning, I felt really good.  The detox started this morning and I went to the restroom 3 times already.  My weight is the lowest I’ve been.  I don’t want to be too skinny.  I’m like a bean sprout now.  I’ll try to put some weight back on when I finish fasting.

Today, after the lesson my student Taiki did acupuncture for us.  He’s a real professional.  This time I didn’t faint! (Saturday August 19th Journal).  My other student, Daisuke and I got it done.  He’s a young police officer and he works really hard.  He has stiff shoulder.  I have a frozen shoulder.  Taiki carefully put the needles in and after that we felt much better.  This morning when I woke up I didn’t feel any shoulder pain like I usually do.   Thanks Taiki!   We really appreciate it.  

got it done 「やってもらった」

We got it done.  (私たちはやってもらった。)

feel much better 「前より断然よくなった」

When I first came to Japan, I started off working at one of the big schools in Japan.  I had a pretty good experience but I always felt I could provide a better service for the students.  In 2006, I started a small school in my apartment in Shinsakae.  What I liked about my apartment was it had 2 floors.  Therefore, I used the first floor for my classroom and 2nd floor for my room.  When I first started, I only had about 20 students.  It was small but I enjoyed it.

 I often had parties at my apartment.  Many students would come with their friends and we talked, laughed and drank.  One party, there were 50 people in my small apartment.  It was really noisy.  Late at night, someone rang the door bell.  I thought it was another student but when I opened the door there were three police officers standing.  They said someone complained about the noise.  Actually, there’s a cute tiny old woman living under my apartment.  She’s always nice to me and we say hi when we meet but I’ve always thought it was her who called the police.  Since that party, the police came every time telling me that someone complained.  I think that maybe she wanted to come to the party and she was angry that she was not invited.  I regret not inviting her.  

What I liked about my apartment was… 「アパートの何が好きだったかというと、」
