The temperature in Tokyo today was 21 degrees Celsius, and although it's chilly in the morning and evening, the weather has become spring-like during the day. There are pink flowers blooming near my office that look like cherry blossoms, but upon closer inspection, they seem to be different. Judging from the texture of the tree, they are probably plum trees. This morning's Weather News explained how to tell the difference between cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and peach blossoms. They bloom at the same time with pink petals, so they look similar, but apparently they can be distinguished by the shape of the petals.

I feel that there has been a change in me since I started journaling. I have become more aware of my own actions and have begun to pay attention to what is happening around me. Also, my insight has increased and different ideas come to my mind. I feel more positive and proactive than before.

So I asked ChatGPT about the purpose of journaling.

The purpose of journaling varies from person to person, but in general, the reasons are as follows

Organize thoughts: Writing a journal allows you to organize your thoughts and feelings. By writing, you can objectively look at your inner self and understand your way of thinking and behaving.

Memorization: By recording daily events and memories, you can recall them more vividly. Also, by reading them later, you can review your growth and what you have learned from past mistakes.

Enhance creativity: Journaling can enhance your creativity and self-expression. By putting your thoughts into words, you can improve your sensitivity and expressiveness.

Stress relief: If you have daily stress, journaling can help you relieve it. By expressing your feelings and thoughts, you can reduce the burden on your mind.

As mentioned above, there are many benefits to journaling.

If there are so many good things, I think it would be great if we could teach diary writing in compulsory education.

Now let's get into the main topic of today: my English learning has been stagnant lately. To give myself a boost, I pretended to be a third-party and gave myself a lecture on English learning.

The importance of expressing emotions when speaking English

It is said that it is important to express emotions when speaking English. Today, I would like to share with you something I realized during my speaking practice. First, imagine a fictitious person and imagine yourself talking to him or her in English. By practicing this method, you can naturally focus on your pronunciation and make an effort to speak clearly. In addition, the good thing about this method is that you can feel the feeling of being there. By feeling this feeling, it can be more deeply engraved in your memory. I think this method is a very practical way of learning.

The Need to Practice Speaking and Listening, Not Just Grammar

Understanding grammar is very important for learning a second language, but simply reading grammar books or doing exercises will not make you able to speak English. Therefore, it is important to include speaking and listening practice along with grammar study. However, understanding grammar is the very foundation, and it is extremely helpful to memorize phrases and create English sentences, which makes it easier to understand the structure of English. It is important to continue learning English grammar every day, even if it is just a little bit within your reach.

The Importance of Quality and Continuous Learning in English Language Learning

In English language learning, it is an important fact that the quality of studying is more important than the length of studying time, which applies to all kinds of learning. I believe that studying without concentration is a waste of time. Therefore, it is important to focus on effective English learning and to keep on learning. Although the time it takes to become proficient in English may vary, if you continue to make the effort, there will certainly come a time when you will be able to speak English.

The importance of self-learning before relying on paid services

There are many expensive English learning services available on the Internet. While they may be very attractive to people who want to speak English, it is not necessary to use these paid materials until you have acquired the minimum necessary English skills. First, you need to develop the minimum necessary English skills through your own efforts. If you know how to learn, you can use useful self-study applications and content, whether paid or free. In addition, there are many excellent books that explain how to study, so choose the method that works best for you.

If there's something you don't understand, you can search for it on the Internet, and there are also AIs like ChatGPT that can answer your questions at any time. You won't be frowned upon for asking the same thing over and over again. You can ask questions until you understand without hesitation. Therefore, I don't think it's necessary to spend money on many paid English conversation services that have been offered so far.

The importance of professional one-on-one lessons

However, not all services are unnecessary. If you decide to use a service, you should choose professional private lessons. A representative service is online English conversation. The usefulness of private lessons is common to all hobbies, such as learning to play a musical instrument or driving a car.
