一昨日まで中1が取り組んでいた英文がこちら。
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.

英文を見て、ここまでこの記事を読み
この凄さに気づく人はどのくらいいるんだろう。
松江塾は年々進化していて、その中にいると当たり前の基準がよく分からなくなるが…
中1の9月の段階で、この英文の中に含まれた英文法の理由理屈を理解し、さらに3分以内にスラ訳ができるって…
普通に考えたら不可能だからね?
3月の段階では、小学校の意味不明授業しか受けてなかった状態でアルファベットからやり始めた子達だよ?
それが半年後、

これだよ?
現塾生の保護者の方の大半が松江塾を知り合いに教えない理由がモロに分かる笑
こりゃあ…
教えませんって笑
さて
この英文はもう卒業。
今の中1にはもう簡単すぎる感じになったから。
だから今日から新!長文に切り替えるよ。
不定詞動名詞を「これでもか!」と盛り込みまくったものにね。
もちろん、これまで学んだものもてんこ盛り盛りで。
