昨日の授業で進んだのはこれ。
まだ全体の半分にも到達していないが
それでも結構大事な単元が詰まってる。
過去完了とかは高校文法だし
what if 〜？
なんて表現も「こういう意味だから覚えて！」という教え方はせず、しっかりと「何が省略されてるか」という立ち位置から説明。
単語レベルも英検だと準２レベルで程よく難しい。
内容も、中学生が自然と引き込まれるものだ。
書き出してみると分かるかな。
通勤中の脳トレにどうそ。
It was a sunny Monday morning in April when I first noticed him. His name was Takuya, and he had just transferred to our school from another city. Our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Yamamoto, asked him to introduce himself to the class. He stood up, looked a little nervous, and said, “Hello, everyone. My name is Takuya Sato. I like playing basketball and reading mystery novels. I hope we can be friends.”
When he smiled, I felt something strange in my chest. My heart was beating faster than usual, and my face became warm. I had never felt this way before. I tried to focus on what the teacher was saying, but I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Was this what people called a “crush”?
During lunch break, my best friend Yuki noticed that I was acting differently. “What’s wrong with you today?” she asked while we were eating our bentos. “You’ve been staring at the new student all morning.”
I felt embarrassed and my face turned red. “I wasn’t staring!” I said quickly. But Yuki knew me too well. She smiled and said, “You like him, don’t you? It’s okay. He seems like a nice person.”
I didn’t want to admit it at first, but Yuki was right. I did like him. However, I didn’t know what to do about these feelings. I had never liked anyone in this way before, and I was scared. What if he didn’t like me back? What if my other classmates found out and teased me?
Over the next few weeks, I watched Takuya from a distance. I learned many things about him. He was good at math and science, but he struggled with English. He always helped his classmates when they had trouble understanding something. During P.E. class, he played basketball with incredible skill, and everyone wanted him on their team. He was kind, funny, and smart. The more I learned about him, the more I liked him.
赤くした部分が生徒が訳しにくくしていたり、解説した部分。
どうだったかな？
何となく、内容は分かるよね？
でもこの「何となく」を「完全にスッキリ」にするまでが、かなり大変なのよ。
そして高校英語はこの「完全にスッキリ」をどれだけの欲するか
これで英語が武器科目になるか、不安科目になるかが分かれるのよね。
