DMM英会話メモ#17
DMM英会話を2023年1月から始めた人の復習note
聞き取れなかった部分をレッスンの録音機能で聞き返したり、気になった部分をメモ
【2023.05】#53〜55
●今回から定期的に「写真描写」のレッスンも受ける
超基本的ことから的確な文法や語彙を使う癖をつけるためにも、講師の方に細かく間違いをチェックしてもらうレッスンも必要だと思った。
身の回りにあるものについて話したりというもっと基本的な部分を難なく喋れるようになる必要があると、スピーキングテストのおかげで気づいた…
（赤ちゃんが身の回りから言語習得していくのと同じように👶）
ディスカッションだと「会話」に重点が置かれて、細かい文法ミスまでは指摘されないことが多い。でもやっぱり会話が楽しいから、デイリーニュースも引き続きやる…
●もうちょっとテンション上げて（？）喋りたい…
写真描写のレッスンみたいに考えながら頑張って話そうとするとマジで話し方が平坦になることを改めて思い出した…日本語でも同じくだけど……
#53
○フィリピンの男性講師の方と（5回目）
今までも文法や言い回しの間違いを丁寧に教えてくれた方だったけど、写真描写はさらにしっかりと全文チェックしてもらった。
写真描写の教材の雰囲気がわかったおかげで、スピーキングテストの時よりかはかなりマシになったけど、やっぱりよぼよぼ…
フリートークやデイリーニュースをしたいなと思う講師がいる一方で、しっかり間違いを指摘してもらう写真描写のようなレッスンがしたいなという講師もいる。この人とはこのレッスンがしたい！みたいなのがなんとな〜くあるなぁと思った
初めましての方とは、会話が発生するデイリーニュースを選びたくなる…
【メモ】
●I'm on a long vacation right now, so every day is like a weekend.
→I'm on〜っていう言い方したことなかった…
●最初の1文どう言おう…というところから冒頭詰まる
●ピシャッと言い切って良さそうな部分も、全部 "and…"で繋げてしまう。
1文がだらだらし過ぎないように、言い切るところは言い切るようにしたい。
元：There is a doctor and a patient and they talk in the hospital. The doctor have a pen. He wear a white uniform and he talk with a patient. The patient talks about her problem of health and the doctor listened to her story. There is a white desk and this room's wall is also white.
↓
In the hospital, a doctor and a patient are having a conversation. The doctor is wearing a white uniform and has a pen. The patient is sharing her health concerns with the doctor, and he is attentively listening to her story. The room they are in has white walls and a white desk.
●主語"He"なのに見事に動詞の"s" が抜けてた！！
スピーキングテストで散々思い知ったので気をつけてたはずが、全然意識できてなかった…癖つけねば…😂
●"a"抜けはテストの時と比べたら意識できるようにはなってた
○ attentively（副）注意深く
元： Woman is on the train and she wears a headphone and has a cellphone. She listens to the music and she looks so happy so maybe she listens to favorite music. She wears a gray t-shirt and she look at outside view by the window while listening to music.
↓
A woman is on a train wearing headphones and holding a cellphone. She appears to be very happy, perhaps because she is listening to her favorite music. She is wearing a gray t-shirt and looking out the window while listening to music.
●A woman is on a train wearing headphones and holding a cellphone.
→形容詞としての"〜ing"で名詞修飾
（読むのは簡単なのに、自発的にこの形で言えたこと無い気がする😭）
○appears to do：のように見える
●写真描写だけど、今目の前で起こってること（見てること）を話すから、写真の人の服装とか、何をしてるか説明する時は現在進行形でいいっぽい…？
↓ "wear"は現在形と現在進行形の使い分けが必要
元：The dog is sick so the dog's owner puts the ice bag on the dog. The dog looks sad. The dog is sick and put on blue ice bag on the dog.（2回言うとる） This dog has a big ear and his body is brown. He closes his eyes and he looks very sad.
↓
The owner of a sick dog places a blue ice bag on the dog to help its sickness. The dog appears sad with its big ears and brown coat (fur). Its eyes are closed, because it is feeling very unwell.
○place → 動詞でも使えるんだ…（置く）
●動物の体毛の色について言うときは"body"じゃなくて"coat"や"fur"
●動物の性別がわからないときは"it's"で
#54
○フィリピンの女性講師の方と（2回目）
すご〜〜く落ち着いていて丁寧に進めてくれる…
レッスン開始と同時に地域の夕方チャイム？が鳴って、「何の音！？」って聞かれたけど、説明したら似たようなものがフィリピンにもあるみたいだった（日本と同じく地域によるだろうけど）
私が言ったものを大きくは修正せずに、細かい文法ミスだけ直してもらい、余った時間で、もっと詳細に描写するなら…と具体例を教えてもらった
【メモ】
●This music is broadcast from speakers around town at the same time every evening for about a minute.
●it's like a notification that it's ○ PM.
●I took my first speaking test last week, and it made me realize that I need to practice using more accurate grammar and vocabulary.
●I guess I have to learn from the basics that way, just like a baby learns a language from the things around it.
ー赤ちゃんが周りのものから言葉を覚えるように、私もそうやって基礎から学んでいかないと
●I hope you can use that in the next set of pictures that you'll describe.
ーそれを次の描写の写真に活かしていただければと
●Your sentences were simple and easy to understand, however, as I've mentioned I want you to widen and deepen your description by using prepositions. You can do this by studying them and gradually adding them to your sentences.
○gradually（副）徐々に
●相変わらず"a"や"is/are"の凡ミスはあるけど、だいぶ落ち着いて整理しながら説明できるようになった
元：There is a woman and a man. They are businesspersons and a woman wears a white jacket and white shirt and a man wears a gray jacket and a white shirt. And also, a man holds a file , they are looking at the file. They looks like talking each other, and a man explain some problem or serious story(matter) to her.

●Is the last word unnecessary / superfluous?（suˈpərflʊəs）
ー最後の一言は余分ですか？
→"I eat it every day."とか、自分の意見を最後に言うのはすごく良いと思う、とのこと
ーーーーー
【More Detail】
写真がシンプルでもうこれ以上描写できることがなさそうなときはどうすれば？と聞いたら、他の生徒さんが言ってたのを例として教えてくれた。
最後の一言として、自分の知ってる知識や意見を加える感じ…
● In Japan, there are different filings inside the rice ball. You can put tuna, meat or anything that you want inside.
元：There are some huge buildings and the mirror of the buildings reflects the other buildings around it. It's fine day but there are some clouds, and the sun is behind the building. The sky is clear blue. These buildings are in the big city, I think(??????).

There are some huge buildings and the mirror of the buildings reflects the other buildings around it. It's a fine day but there are some clouds, and the sun is behind the building. The sky is clear blue. These buildings are usually in the big city.
●Obviously it looks like a big city, so I don't have to say "I think", right?
→今回の場合は"I think"ではなく"usually"でいい
ーーーーー
【More Detail】
●I can see three buildings. And in the middle, I can see the biggest building. And It reflects the other buildings.
●I can see the front of the building is designed with square shapes.
Preposition＋More Detail
○above / below / beside / in between
前置詞を使ってもうちょっと詳しく描写できるともっといいねと言われた
○rectangle / square
「どんな形」なのかも描写できると尚よし（語彙無さすぎる…）

●I can see the front of the building is designed with square shapes.

○セルビアの男性講師の方と（2回目）
前回デイリーニュースでもすごく丁寧にいろいろ教えてくれたので（むしろデイリーニュースの時はもう少し喋る練習をしたいな…と思ったほどに…笑）今回は写真描写を！
1文言ったらその都度チェックしていくスタイルだった。
逆にちょっとやりづらいかもしれない……汗
猫が花束持ってる写真（？？）で、なんやこれ…って動揺してておもろかった笑
【メモ】
●It's raining today, so I'm staying home all day.
「一日中」を"whole day"と言っちゃったけど、どちらでも良いらしい。
※ただし、"the whole day"のように"the"をつける
●My favorite massage local is the regular one where is not very expensive.
元：There is a mother and a daughter in a kitchen, making a salad. The daughter is pouring oil in the salad. Mother is smiling at her daughter and is touching her head. There are many vegetables on the table.
↓
Mother is smiling because she is having fun making a salad with her daughter.
みたいなことも足すとさらに良し
There is a cat holding flowers.
・I think he is wearing a shirt.
・I assume he is wearing a shirt
There is a woman in front of the cat, and she has a red nail polish on her feet. I think the cat is in love with a woman, so he picked some flowers for her.
（The cat wants to take a woman to a date.）
突拍子も無い写真の描写だったので空想の話を考えつつ…になった。
足の爪にマニュキアを塗ってますって何て言うんだろう！？と思ってレッスン前に調べた
She is having a head massage.
・She puts her head of the pillow, which is made of a towel.
・She uses a rolled towel as a pillow for her head.
