昨日の授業から新しい長文に切り替わった中１たち
これね
It is August 27th. Summer vacation is almost over. I am sitting at my desk. There are three books and a lot of homework on the desk.
My mother came into my room and looked at the desk.
"You look tired," she said.
She was right. I was tired because I did not sleep well last night. When my father and mother were watching TV, I was doing my homework. I always start my homework in July, but I never finish it early. My sister says that I am lazy. Sometimes I think that she is right.
This morning I made a list. If I finish everything, I have to write two pages about science, I have to read one English book, and I have to do thirty pages of math. I don't have to clean my room because I cleaned it last week. That is good news.
My friend Kenta called me at ten o'clock.
"Are you free tomorrow?" he asked. "We are going to go to the river. My father will take us in his car."
"I can't go," I said. "I have too much homework."
"You always say that," he said, and he laughed.
I was sad when I put the phone down. Last summer we went to the river every week. The water was cold and clean, and there was a small bridge over it. We swam, we ate ice cream, and we talked for hours. This summer was different. I joined the soccer club in June, so I practiced every day. I am strong now, and I am able to run fast. But I did not see my friends very often.
Now it is three o'clock, and I am writing again. My cat is sleeping on my bed. She looks happy. She doesn't have to do homework. She doesn't have to go to school in September.
I think that this week will be busy, but I will finish. I am going to get up at seven every morning. I must not look at my phone when I am studying, because I always lose one hour.
If I finish my homework on Friday, I will call Kenta. We are going to swim in the river on Saturday. If it rains, we will play games at his house. I will be able to have one free day.
When school starts, I will see everyone again. Summer is short. It is always short. But when I remember this summer, I will not think about my homework. I will think about the river and my friends.
今学んだばかりの文法事項を集中的に盛り込んだものになっている。
まず僕がゆっくり読み、それを聞きながら意味を掴んでもらった。
そしてその後は各自、スラッシュを入れてもらい、その後僕の指定したスラッシュを引いもらった。
この授業を初めてやった時は、もちろんスラッシュなんて入れられるわけもなかった。
そこからスラ訳をほぼ毎回やっていくうちに
前から訳すリズムが染み込んでいったんだろう。
もう自分の判断で引いたスラッシュと、僕のお手本スラッシュの場所がほぼ一致しているのがわかった。
良い良い。
