忙しい毎日を送っていると、自分にとって最優先事項はなんだろう、とふと考えてしまうことがあります。学生でいる間も社会人になってからでも、いわゆる仕事や学校に使う時間以外の off の間の時間の配分で悩むことはありませんか？ 自分でいえば、もっと英会話を学習する時間を作りたい、と考えたときに思ったほど時間が取れないのに気づいて、時間配分を再考慮してみると、実は英会話の学習って自分には最優先事項ではなかったんですね。「だから英会話の上達が遅いんだ」と変な納得しましたが、仕事でも日常生活でも英会話の必要性が今のところそんなにないから時間はそんなに取れない。だからラジオ英会話を3年聴いていても話せる力はまだまだなんです。でも、趣味でいいからゆっくりと英会話に接する時間を最低限でも確保し続けたいと思っていますが･･･。（誰に対して言い訳しているのかな･･･）
今週学習したラジオ英会話のダイアログを英訳練習します。日本語をどれだけ英訳出来るか練習します。日本文をクリックすると英文例が出ます。
