英語手帳-My English Organizer-コミュの今週のSelf-Development Question

こんにちは、クリスです。

I was looking at the Self-Development Question for this
week:

"How do you make predictions about your life?"
"自分の人生をどうやって予測しますか？"

It might be suprising for you, but in my case, I use
a Japanese Omikuji Calendar, that is based on my date
of birth.

驚くかもしれないが、私の場合は、私の生年月日に合わせて
日本語のおみくじカレンダーを使っています

There is a short comment for each day. For example,
my luck in business, personal relationships and in
money. And my lucky color for that day.　It's fun to
look at, but I try not to take it too seriously.

毎日ひとことが書いてあります。ビジネス、人間関係、
お金に対するのコメントなど書いてあります。そして、
その日のラッキーカラー。結構おもしろいけど、まじめすぎる
にならないように気をつけています！

How about you? あなたはどう？
"How do you make predictions about your life?"

If you want to write your answer here, I can check your
English for you.
ここで、英語で書いて、希望だったら、文章をチェックして
直してあげます。

ところで、私の日本語も直してくれたらうれしい

Hi Nonko,

Thanks for your question.

You know, it's an interesting question, and you know, it's not really an easy one to answer. That's two examples of how to use "you know".

"You know" has many different uses - mostly it is just to "fill in" the space between the "real words". (言葉に詰まったとき) For example, えー、ほら、あの…、ねえ

Other times it is used when you want to make sure the other person is paying attention to you. For example, あのね、あのー、ねえ、ところで

And of course, it is also used as an informal way of saying, "Do you know..?" or whenever you think that the listener already knows what you are talking about, for example: 知っているでしょう。

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi バンビ

＞I bigun to go to ballet school again.

I began going to ballet school again.
or
I started going to ballet school again.

In casual conversation, "started" is more usual than "began".
日常会話で、beganより、startedを使います。

My most successful experience in 2007.... good question!
私の最も成功した経験は、何でしたか？うん、いい質問！

I completed the Tokyo Marathon in February.
２月に行った東京マラソンを完走しましたこと。

皆さん、どう？あなたの最も成功した経験は、何でしたか？If you write in Japanese or English, I can help you with the correct English.

Bye,
Chris

It's very useful for me to know these kind of mistakes in my Japanese.
Thank you!
