【全YouTube英語学習者へ】英語が本気で伸びる最高の学習法。ついやってるいつもの勉強法はやめて
I am currently working on learning English. Although I was weak in English when I was a student, I am now studying while feeling anxious about whether I can really become able to speak English and thinking about why I want to be able to speak English. I admired Tom Cruise and wanted to be able to speak English like him, so I titled my blog "Mission: English". Although I may not be able to become like Tom Cruise, I think it is an attractive goal for learning English to want to be able to speak like him.

Do You Really Need 8 Hours of Sleep Every Night? | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter | TED
(2) Do You Really Need 8 Hours of Sleep Every Night? | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter | TED - YouTube

Transcript:
(00:00) Sleep is so important. We need it to live. And when we can't sleep, we're desperate for help. [Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter] But lately, our fascination with sleep feels as if it's taken on an urgency. Do a quick internet search for sleep and you'll find a slew of articles about how to make your sleep perfect.
(00:23) New gadgets, fancy alarm clocks, stay away from blue light. There are lots of services, products and advice columns that tell us we're sleeping wrong. Not enough, not quality sleep, wrong position. Even worse, you might find scary messaging claiming that if you're not sleeping right your life is going to be shorter, you're going to get all kinds of diseases.
(00:45) One of the biggest worries we have about our sleep is that we're not getting enough and that anything less than seven hours a night means that we’re doomed to bad health, everything from high blood pressure to Alzheimer’s disease. But there are two flaws with this kind of messaging. The first flaw is that it's not completely accurate.
(01:07) Seven to eight hours of sleep, while recommended for adults, is just an average. And while messages have to be simplified for health communication to the public, sometimes important nuances get lost. So yes, it's true that not getting enough sleep in the long term is associated with health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and depression.
(01:30) But fixating solely on seven to eight hours ignores the fact that there's a range of sleep that people need. The duration of a good night's sleep can be different for different people. Some adults need eight, but some are just fine on six. The second flaw with this kind of doomsday messaging is that it can be counterproductive, especially for people who do have trouble sleeping.
(01:53) For instance, in 2019, it was estimated that 21 percent of adults in the US were wearing sleep tracking devices. And that number is probably growing. And I get it. It's fascinating to see how much sleep you've gotten each night and to know what part of your night was spent in deep sleep or dreaming.
(02:11) But having all of that sleep data is causing some people to become obsessed with it, so much so that it’s leading to a condition some call orthosomnia: a preoccupation with the constant need to achieve perfect sleep. And this condition, ironically, is causing more sleep problems. Now orthosomnia might be an extreme example, but the anxiety of not getting enough sleep is keeping some of us up at night.
(02:39) So here's what some experts are saying. Stop fixating on the number because that can lead to unrealistic expectations of sleep. According to Dr. Colleen Carney, a psychologist and the head of the Ryerson University Sleep Lab, the basic questions you should ask yourself are: Do I feel reasonably well-rested during the day? Do I generally sleep through the night without disturbances? Or, if I wake, do I fall back asleep easily? Can I stay awake through the day without involuntarily falling asleep? If your answers are yes to all three,
(03:15) you probably don't need to worry about your sleep. And if you're struggling with your sleep, instead of buying expensive blue light filters or fancy sleep trackers, try talking with your doctor to make sure there aren't any medical conditions that need to be explored first. Then try evidence-based recommendations laid out by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
(03:37) What's really cool is that there's a highly effective therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or CBT-I, It doesn’t have any medications involved. And it has a really low failure rate.

今日から英語力の向上のため英語で日記を書くことに決めた。しかし英語を書くことは私にとって難しいことである。このため日本語で書いた文章をDeepLで英語に翻訳をする。翻訳してみると、案外知っているフレーズで英語を書けることがわかる。この方法で自然と英語を書けるようになるのではないか。
日記のテーマはその日に行った英語の学習内容の記録である。英語学習の進捗状況を把握し、英語の向上に役立てられると思えるからだ。
Today I decided to start writing my diary in English to improve my English skills. However, writing in English is difficult for me. For this reason, I translate sentences written in Japanese into English at DeepL. I find that I can write in English using phrases that I know. I think this method will help me learn to write English naturally.
The theme of the diary is a record of the English study you have done that day. This is because I think it will help me to keep track of my English learning progress and help me to improve my English.
今日行った内容その１．
English Grammar in Useの練習問題
・Reported speech + Questions and auxiliary verbs.
Unit 52:Question tags(do you? isn't it? etc?)
・-ing and to 1
Unit 53: Verb + -ing(enjo -ing / stop -ing etc)
Unit 54:Verb + to...(decide to ...etc.)
Unit 55:Verb + object + to ...(I want you to...)
動詞により直後にtoを取るのか-ingを取るのかが決まっているのだが覚えられない。何かルールがあるようだが、習うより慣れろという印象だ。
I can't remember whether to or -ing is used immediately after the verb, depending on the verb. There seems to be some rule, but my impression is that it is better to get used to it than to learn it.
今日行った内容その2．
多読
Black Beauty（Step 3. Read)
～P45
読み始めたページは記録を取っていないため不明。読書時間は約50分。
The page that I started reading is unknown as I did not keep a record of it. Reading time is approximately 50 minutes.
多読を初めてすでに10ヶ月が経過した。Headwordで100万語を超えている。しかし何を書いているのかわからないことが多く悩んでいた。ところが最近、以前と比べて理解度が大きく向上している。おそらくGrammarの練習問題を解いている影響だと思う。英語を学習している中で最も大きな進歩に感じる。ちなみに現在の読書レベルはSTAGE4、Headwordsは1400である。
It has already been 10 months since I started reading a lot, and I have over a million words on Headword. However, I was troubled by the fact that I often did not understand what I was writing. Recently, however, my comprehension has greatly improved compared to before. I think it is probably due to the effect of solving Grammar exercises. I feel that this is the biggest progress I have made in learning English. By the way, my current reading level is STAGE 4 and Headwords is 1400.
