英語日記広場コミュのはぎさん's diary

I was just looking for community like this.
I wanted to write my diary before, but I couldn't.
Because it is difficult for me to write only English, and then I guess I will not do this.
As you know, I am a beginner of English.
All the more, I never give up!

Thank you for continuing support for me.

Hi はぎ-san,

I apologise for sudden comment! But I'm a beginner too so, let's continue together.

It's rain and heavy wind in Tokyo now... At last, I can feel to come rain season.

Please take care for swine flu ! :)
Eh? Is that behind the times??

I think it is not so short!

Hey, look! Here is my diary last year.
__

Yesterday, I have slept all the day.
Now, I am perfect.
I am going to get my VISA afternoon.
And check opera schedule this month.
__

And here is another diary just last week!
__

Today, I will submit my abstract for middle defense.
I have to concentrate on my work a lot!
__

So, do not apologize it :)

In addition, this is just a diary!
Nobody accuses your inperfectness of English, let alone its length of a diary!!

By the way, I have not submitted my abstract for middle defense.....
I found the fact at this moment. Sucks :(

23th June 09

I was very tired

Because, I have to submite two repots to my boss.
The deadline is 25th.

I had to devote most of my time to desk work.

Hi! Middle defense is a presentation for a master degree in a middle term of a course, called "中間発表" in Japanese. And Final defense is a last presentation, "卒論発表" in Japanese!

Why we have to say "defense" is that audiences (usually professors) asks crucial questions for the presenters in order to check his/her achievements, and they have to "defense" to say that their research worth to graduate.

How is your report? I hope everything goes well.

[8] mixiユーザー 06月25日 00:22

うべ San,

Thank you for your comments.
Yes, i understood 'defence' through the situation you wrote.

24th July 2009

I had a telephone conference with international people.
I couldn't understand their English at all, especaily Chinese English.

I wish i could speak English....

When i wrote my monthly report today, i got suspicious　what different between 'increase' and 'escalate' is.

Please tell me

[10] mixiユーザー 06月25日 11:22

はぎsan!

You will be sure to speak English if you continue to use it.
The difference between increase and escalate is that "escalate" is mostly used for bad situation while"increase" is used for both good and bad one.

Did your meeting hold only by voice? I mean, if you have chances to see mouths of speakers, you probably get words easier.

And I totally agree with you that Chinese English is awful to understand.
They tend to be confident of their pronaunciation, so it would not hardly be changed, unfortunately.

[11] mixiユーザー 06月25日 22:46

うべSan,
Thank you for your comments and advise　once again.

I cannot always see their mouths , only by voice.

if i can see speaker's mouths, is it easy for me to get words?
If yes, the English conversation school is considered of value, right?

Have a safe trip, うべsan,

25th JUne 2009

Today is pay day :)

But, the tax escalated.
So my salary (after tax) decreased.

My report finished up today. :)

[13] mixiユーザー 06月26日 01:29

はぎsan!!

Oh, my God!! Hell the tax!!!!

But you finished your report. That's nice! Congratulations!

About English:
Yes, English conversation school is efficient to some extent. However, I would like to say it is too expensive. There are other ways to talk others using English in Japan for free or at least very cheap!

For example, English coffee shops are convenient and easy to use.

Or if you are busy to go around, I suggest you to watch "Sesame Street" on DVD. I like it and I think it is easy to listen. Or I found an interesting web site. http://tubenglish.seesaa.net/ It is a listening drill using Youtube movies. They are so funny and questions are really good for improving our skill. I will use it for study.

[14] mixiユーザー 06月28日 20:12

うべsan!

Thank you for your advise.
And sorry my slow reply.

This is the first time I've heard of English cafe.
I want to go there, and it seems to be efficient and very cheap.
But I live in Niigata. there are not English cafe in Niigata.

And the You Tube you told me is too funny,
I am going to listen it everyday!

I often watch american dorama like LOST .
I listen to it in Japanese and display in English.

It is hard for me to read English　caption.

Is it best for me to start watching Sesame Street from now???

Thank you for always うべsan!

I went to Chiba on this weekend to meet my　honey:)

We cooked dinner together, and enjoyed our time.

She told me that she want to quit her job.
Her work is very hard and always faces death.

Anyway, we could understand each other.

[16] mixiユーザー 06月30日 09:33

Hi, はぎsan!

Oh, I can not miss the sentence "my honey"!! :)

Your relationship seems to me quite well.
She might be in a tough situation, I am sure you can support her.
I hope everything goes well.

I tried to use one machine to analyze function for our product.
But the analyzer machine didn't work.
That was stopping working because of high temprature.

Ofcause I think so.

[27] mixiユーザー 07月09日 16:41

Hi, はぎsan!!

>But the analyzer machine didn't work.

Ah, that's the way engineers' work.
I think you are always working hard and well!

お疲れ様です!

[28] mixiユーザー 07月09日 22:57

Hi うべsan

Thank you for your comment.

Please tell me お疲れ様　in English.

I think it is 'bye' or 'good job' .

your answer please

[29] mixiユーザー 07月11日 10:47

Hi, はぎsan!!

Actually, I had thought about the translation in Vienna, but I could not find the words.
Maybe, it is like "good work" or "nice work" something like that. However, I think "お疲れ様" contains more to it. I hope "お疲れ様" spread to the world as "otsukaresama"!

[30] mixiユーザー 07月18日 00:58

July 18th

I had to check the function of my new products.
