英語の記事を毎週読むのが英語上達に役立つ 豊かな国は25倍速でワクチン接種、でも日本は？

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。

本日のDCECのダイアログでは、JaniceとNamieアメリカに行った時のことを話しています。

また、今週の英語の記事では、Bloombergの豊かな国がワクチン接種をその他の国よりも25倍速く接種しているとの記事で、日本はアフリカ諸国の一番遅い国々と同じような現状で衝撃を感じます。

■A Woman of Freedom

A GV and a learner talk about the Statue of Liberty.

J - Janice, N - Namie

J: Hi, Namie. You look great!

N: Thank you. I guess finally taking a vacation improves

　 one’s appearance.

J: I’m thrilled that you were able to let your hair down

for a week. How was your vacation?

N: The past few weeks were very busy, so I really welcomed

this break. I traveled alone to New York. It was quite fun.

And it was a great opportunity to improve my English.

J: What places did you visit?

N: Well, first I visited the Empire State Building.

I believe it’s a must-see if you go to New York.

After that, I visited the Statue of Liberty.

J: That sounds terrific!

N: It truly was. I think that was my favorite part of

the trip. We rode a ferry and we could only view her .

from a distance. The statue looked very imposing

　 yet ethereal in the rain.

J: Did you know that Lady Liberty was originally brown?

N: Really? I was not aware of that.

J: Yeah, she is actually made of copper. They say she has

enough copper to make 30 million pennies.

N: How did she turn green?

J: Science is not my best subject, but I’ll try to explain.

Since the Statue of Liberty is surrounded by water and

completely exposed to oxygen, the beautiful green color

is the result of a chemical reaction.
