Text 1: A Small Win
I studied English for five minutes today. It was not long, but it was real. I read a short story and understood most of it. I did not stop for every word. After I finished, I checked only three words. Then I read the story again. I felt calm. A small win is still a win.
Key words
- real（本物の／実際の）
- understand（理解する）
- check（調べる）
- calm（落ち着いた）
Questions
- Why didn’t the person stop for every word?
- What is your “small win” this week?
Text 2: The Train Habit
On the train, I look at my phone. I can use that time to learn. I open one short English page. I read it once. Then I read it again, slower. I pick one sentence I like and say it quietly. It becomes my sentence for the day.
Key phrases
- use that time（その時間を使う）
- read it again（もう一度読む）
- sentence for the day（今日の1文）
Try this
- Pick one sentence and rewrite it with “I”.
- Say it 5 times, slowly.
Text 3: Asking for Help
Sometimes I don’t know the right word. That is okay. I can still communicate. I can say, “How do you say this in English?” I can also describe it. I can give an example. People usually understand. The goal is not perfect English. The goal is to move forward.
Useful sentences
- How do you say this in English?
- Let me describe it.
- Here is an example.
- The goal is to move forward.
