英語の上達には勉強ではなく、日々英語を使うこと。

これが一番です。

多くのラーナーさんの悩みがボキャブラリーをなかなか覚えられないということですが、

でも単語を単語帳を作って覚えるというのはめちゃくちゃ大変な割に効果は限られています。

では、ボキャブラリーを増やすには、どうしたらいいのでしょうか？

それは簡単です。

毎日に英語を使い、慣れるのが一番です。

DCECのブログを活用して英語に触れてください。

今週は、食肉について考えさせられる会話をしています。

■The Beef with Beef (and Other Animal Products)

J - Janice, S - Shizuo

A GV and a learner talk about animal cruelty.

J: ...So we adopted a dog, and we named her Missy.

She’s really cute and playful.

S (smiles): That sounds wonderful. I really love animals.

J: Me, too. (pause) You know, if I were an animal, maybe

I’d want to be a goat.

S (laughs): Why a goat?

J: They are very resilient creatures. They climb mountains

on a daily basis, but they are undeterred by rocky cliffs.

S: I see.

J: How about you? If you were an animal, what would you be?

S: Hmm...you know what, that’s a difficult question.

J: Oh, okay. Well, what animal would you not want to be?

S: Ah, that’s much easier. I definitely don’t want to be a farm animal.

Livestock are very much vulnerable to animal abuse.

J: Because of their meat?

S: Even before they are slaughtered, farm animals experience

a lot of pain. Do you know why we have so many dairy products?

J: Because of the high demand, right?

S: Yes, and to meet that high demand, cows have to be artificially

inseminated. Dairy cows need to be impregnated every year

in order to produce a constant supply of milk.
