レッスンを作成中...
1
If I'm not working, I'm probably doom scrolling.
2
So this week I'm ditching my phone, filling a jar with random hobbies and spending an hour each day trying something new.
3
I'm kind of biased tonight.
4
So I'm gonna make sure I'm looking away.
5
I drew puzzling.
6
So we're gonna set up a nice cozy atmosphere, get a puzzle out on the table, maybe watch a show and spend about an hour doing a puzzle.
7
I'm actually so excited for this.
8
This is so nice just to be able to chill, relax, not think about work.
9
I honestly did not make that much progress on that puzzle.
10
I got like the top ring done.
11
That puzzle is a thousand pieces
12
so there was no way I was gonna make any substantial progress on it in just an hour
13
but I'm really excited to find out what I'm gonna draw for day two reading okay
14
so i have some different options here for reading i've got my kindle
15
and on it deep work the comfort crisis the let them theory
16
and none of this is true so basically only self -help books
17
and then i also have atomic habits which i've read a lot
18
and the only book that i have right now available it isn't a self -help book the unselected journals of Emma M.
19
Lyon.
20
I think I'm gonna read this because I don't want to read a self -help book right now.
21
I want it to be kind of leisurely and I feel like a self -help book would feel like work, so.
22
I made it 20 % of the way through the book, which means I'm on page 20 because there's like 100 pages in this book.
23
This is a fictional book that's a collection of journal entries
24
of this girl Emma Lyon she's 13 years old growing up in 1883
25
and just it's basically like you just get to read her journal I myself keep a journal
26
so it's enjoyable to read someone else's I'm excited to find
27
out what I'm going to be doing tomorrow happy day three
28
everyone let's see what I'm going to do for my hobby tonight I'm hoping something I can do
29
while watching the new episode of the The Summer I Turned Pretty, but we shall see.
30
Crocheting, yes, I've wanted this.
31
Okay, oh my gosh, I'm so excited.
32
I'm so excited.
33
Yes, this is what I was hoping for.
34
Oh my goodness, okay.
35
I've got a hook and the yarn, and I don't know how to do this, so I'm gonna figure it out while I watch The Summer I Turned Pretty with my friend.
36
Yes, I'm so excited.
37
Let's do it.
38
so awkward that is such a recipe for disaster
39
but it's gonna be so good he is so drama does
40
that not bother her like why oh my gosh i have
41
hair like woven into it we just finished our summer i turned pretty episode
42
and in that time i was able to crochet this much of a scarf that's the closest thing
43
that i think this could resemble eventually it's like tapering
44
because i didn't count my stitches
45
but by the last little bit i feel like i really improved
46
so i'm happy with
47
that i'll definitely be coming back to this i had a lot of fun doing it
48
and i'm excited for tomorrow's hobby let's see what it is sewing okay i wasn't expecting
49
that one today but i'm down for
50
that i've actually got quite a few sewing projects i could work on i've got clothes i need to alter
51
but i think i'm gonna work on this pair of sweat shorts.
52
I basically just need to finish the waistband
53
and I'm really proud of myself because I didn't use a pattern for these shorts.
54
I just looked at a pair of shorts that I own that I love and just tried to sew them like that.
55
I'm so excited.
56
It's going to be so rewarding to be able to wear a piece of clothing that I made.
57
I love it.
58
Today I want to show you how to do my favorite elastic waistband technique.
59
I think it's so cool that we can learn
60
so many different skills in our lives i decided in january
61
that i wanted to learn how to sew and i've already made
62
so much progress in my capabilities of sewing since then and
63
if i put even more time into this i could become
64
even better at it that's how it is with hobbies though right as we explore our interests
65
and find what we enjoy we can get better at those things sometimes those avenues
66
and those interests can lead to other things
67
and other blessings in our life like with work
68
or it could just be fulfilling in
69
and of itself it doesn't have to be related to making money i think it's awesome
70
and i think we should take the opportunity to have as many hobbies
71
and learn as many new skills as we possibly can i think it's time for a fashion show
72
now i might be biased
73
but i think these turned out pretty dang good for my
74
first pair of shorts without a pattern they are pretty dang
75
high -waisted i've got about an inch of room between my sports bra
76
and the shorts i could fold them if i wanted to that's pretty comfortable i might end up doing that.
77
Guys, they're so soft.
78
I wish I had pockets.
79
Realistically, I won't be wearing these anywhere other than my house as like PJs, but hey, I made these.
80
I've honestly been thinking about pulling out a scrapbooking this entire week, but I know that if I get that one, I'm going to have a good time.
81
I just have to get into it, so we'll see.
82
And today we are scrapbooking.
83
All right.
84
Let's do it.
85
Pulling out all of the supplies.
86
I'm not really sure what I'm going to scrapbook, but I do have a lot of material to work with.
87
So I'm just going to dive into some memories and see what I come up with.
88
it's day number six
89
and we've got two hobbies left in the jar i'm really excited about both of these
90
so i'm not going to be mad about either
91
that i get both will be fun let's see what i'm
92
doing today creative writing okay okay i've got a writing prompt generator pulled up
93
and this is cool it's got like different genres
94
that you can choose i'm gonna choose romance because
95
if i write a book
96
when i write a book at some point in my life think i want it to be romance
97
so you're on a blind date
98
and the guy turns out to be a total jerk increasingly uncomfortable
99
but too polite to get get up
100
and leave you're grateful to be rescued by a handsome stranger who comes over
101
and gives I think our fake main character's names are going to be Beck, Grebeka, and Alexander.
102
And our jerk's name is going to be Garth.
103
Sounds like it's a bad name.
104
All right.
105
I just finished my chapter of creative writing.
106
I'm going to be completely honest.
107
It's bad.
108
it's bad and pretty ridiculous the conflict in this chapter is just like not really there
109
but it was fun i'll give the brief rundown
110
so my main character is on a date with this guy garth is just like i just love whole milk
111
so much it's literally the best milk anybody who likes anything
112
other than whole milk is just stupid beck is like i'm literally lactose intolerant she doesn't say it
113
But she's like, this guy.
114
This guy is so close -minded.
115
Their waiter comes over.
116
Beck has the hots for Angelo the minute she sees him.
117
They just had a connection right away.
118
They're locked eyes and, you know, good eye contact.
119
And then I finish the chapter by Garth, completely oblivious to the connection.
120
He's flipping through his menu frantically before asking, Do you guys have any whole milk?
121
Last one, best one.
122
And it is pottery.
123
I've had these clay magnets pinned in my pinterest for forever I'm gonna watch a show
124
while I do it So i've got a cookie sheet here
125
and a bunch of different clay that I got from the store
126
and some magnets And I have some hot glue too I'm, just gonna have a good old time doing this for an hour or so and see what I come up with
127
oh my gosh these are
128
so cute i love them here guys i'll give you a
129
close -up here's my hand for size comparison they're all pretty small
130
but i think they're so cute there are tons of things
131
that i could make so this is definitely a hobby
132
that i'll be returning to because it was so relaxing
133
and fun and creative and practical it's one of the things
134
that i've done during this challenge that i'll actually use like on a daily
135
or weekly basis so really happy with this and they're just adorable
136
so next time you go reach for your phone to scroll i hope you pause
137
and remember all the things you could create instead go out and make something beautiful you were built for it.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
