— Activity —- Grammar rule
RULE 1: The PAST CONTINUOUS focuses on the duration of an action, not its completion. The SIMPLE PAST focuses on the completion of an action.
ルール1：
過去形は、アクションの完了ではなく、アクションの期間に焦点を当てています。 SIMPLE PASTは、アクションの完了に焦点を当てています。
EXAMPLES:
Example for past continuous
Why couldn’t you sleep last night?
My neighbors were arguing last night. (action in progress)
PAST CONTINUOUS >> duration >> verb+ing
Example for simple past tense
How late did they argue?
They argued until 3AM. (action completed)
SIMPLE PAST >> completion >> past form of the verb (verb+d/ed)
RULE 2: The SIMPLE PRESENT tense describes habitual activities.
ルール2：
現在形は習慣的な活動を表します。
EXAMPLES: My neighbors don’t argue very often.
SPELLING RULE:
To indicate possession of a singular noun, an apostrophe (‘) is added before the possessive -s ending.
To indicate possession of a plural noun already ending in s, only an apostrophe is added.
スペル規則：
単数名詞の所有格を示すために、所有格の-sが終わる前にアポストロフィ（ ‘）が追加されます。
すでにsで終わる複数名詞のときは、所有を示すために最後にアポストロフィのみが追加されます。
singular >> neighbor’s
plural >> neighbors’
EXAMPLES:
my neighbor
- my neighbor’s dog
my neighbors
- my neighbors’ son
X= neighbors’s

longstanding

if not careers.

impulse= a sudden strong and unreflective urge or desire to act.
push factor = motivation / driving force
■ Tony Wilson, the director of the Institute for Employment Studies, / says the labor market will look “radically different” over a long period of time / but workers won’t feel as though it was sudden. / “I think year to year, month to month, any changes often feel more incremental. / We adapt.”

■ Despite concerns over the economic forecast, / people are starting up new businesses / and aiming to fulfill their lifelong ambitions. / There are big risks of moving into self-employment. / “They have higher well-being scores / and more satisfaction on all sorts of levels. / So that’s definitely positive. / But they have lower incomes, / and it’s far less secure to be self-employed than to be employed. / ” But Wilson says, / “This is actually a pretty good time to be thinking about retraining / because there’s more support for that. ”

★ダブルコーテーションの前では長めに息をつくこととのアドバイスを受けたのですが思い出したことがありました。
安全環境課長が留学経験のある人で何かとアメリカン・ジェスチャーを交えて話す人だったのですが、どうしても謎のジェスチャーがあってアメリカ人に聞きに行ったことがあります。
「規則に従ってやりなさい」的な話題の時に多用され、腹立ちを加速させていました。
肩をすくめるジェスチャーも同じなのですが英語話者ではない人の怒りを加速させることが多いのでボディランゲージは経験上、特になることはないなぁ・・と思っています😅
■ While industries such as hospitality, construction, / and manufacturing / have shed jobs in 2020, he says / that employment in finance, accounting, IT, and public services has increased.

今週は「スペリングビー」にチャレンジ
★Zoom 「にほんご」study !! の生徒さんは4人家族。娘さんが2人います。アメリカンスクールの4年生と2年生なのですが、お姉さんが小学校の単語コンテスト「スペリング・ビー」でチャンピオンに。そこで我々、日本語講師陣も「スペリング・ビー」にチャレンジしてみることにしました。
「スペリング・ビー」で使用する単語リストを入手、読み上げて録音しました。録音を聞きながら書き出してみると正解率 120/200💦 アメリカンスクール小学4年生の語彙レベルは、これほどに高いのかとひるんでしまいましたが、仕事においては技術の専門性の分野で貢献するしかないと改めて肝に銘じました。
🗣Zoom 「エンジニアリング」guidance !! より
通訳で頑張っていらっしゃる仲間が基礎知識として畑違いな「工業英語」の世界で苦労されています。英語力は僕より高いのですが機械の構造や専門用語の理解に対してサポートしています。
★「アイドリングストップ」和製英語
idling stop と stationary と parked の違い分かりますか？最後は完全にエンジン切って停車ですが、前者2個は同じ状態ですか？😃
idling stopで和製英語なんですよね。どう、表すんでしょう、英語で。前悩んで流した気がする。
🗣Zoom 「エンジニアリング」guidance !! より
停止中🚙
アイドリング・ストップ・ファンクション→和製英語ですので” automatic start / stop
エンジンがかかったまま止まっている→” stationary “
エンジンを停止して止まっている→” parked “
ちなみに” stationery “は文房具✏️
