Talking bout Christmas
Why do we celebrate Christmas in DecemberIt's been tradition from ancient Rome. They had had parties for any reasons.In the winter time Saturn is the clearest to see and they want to have gathering to see it.
In the winter most of plants are brown,so evergreen looks lively and healthy that's why Christmas tree,and of course red stands out on green.
By the way Jesus Christ was born in spring.
Christmas is not only receiving but also giving.You should give things away to the people who sing Christmas carol to get blessing from God.

Twas the night
Before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
The stockings all hung
By the chimney with care
In hopes
That St. Nicholas
Soon would be there
The children were nestled
All safe in their beds
While visions of sugarplums
Danced in their heads
And mom in her kerchief
And I in my cap,
Had just settled down
For a long winters nap
When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed
To see what was the matter
Away to the window
I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters
And threw up the sash
The moon on the breast
Of the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre
Of midday
To object below
When what
To my wandering eyes
Should appear
But a miniature sleigh
And eight tiny reindeer
With a little ol driver
So lively and quick
I knew in a moment
It must be St. nick
More rapid than eagles
His courses they came
As he whistled
And shouted
And called
Them by name
Now dasher
Now dancer
Now prancer
Now vixen
On comet
On cupid
On donder
An blitzen
To the top
Of the porch
To the top
Of the wall
Now dash-away
Dash-away
Dash-away all
As dry leaves
Before the wild
Hurricane fly
When they meet
With an obstacle
Mount to the sky
So up
To the housetop
The courses
They flew
With a sleigh
Full of toys
And St. Nicholas too
And then
In a twinkling
I heard on the roof
The prancing
And pawing
Of each little hoof
As I drew in my head
And was turning around
Down the chimney
St. Nicholas
Came with a bound
He was dressed
All in fur
From his head
To his foot
And his clothes
Were all tarnished
With ashes and soot
A bundle of toys
He had flung
On his back
And he looked
Like a peddler
Just opening
His pack
His eyes
How they twinkle
His dimples how merry
His cheeks
Were like roses
His nose like a cherry
His drawl little mouth
Was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin
Was a white as the snow
The stump of his pipe
He held tight
In his teeth
And the smoke it
Encircled his head
Like a wreath
He had a broad face
And a round little belly
That shook when he laughed
Like a bowl full of jelly
He was chubby and plump
A right jolly old elf
I laughed when I saw him
In spite of myself
A wink of his eye
And a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know
I had nothing to dread
He spoke not a word
But went straight
To his work
And filled
All the stockings
Then turned
With a jerk
An laying a finger
Along side his nose
An giving a nod
Up the chimney
He rose
He sprang
To his sleigh
To his team
Gave a whistle
An away
They all flew
Like the down
Of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim
As he drove out of sight
Happy christmas to all
And to all a goodnight
Before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
The stockings all hung
By the chimney with care
In hopes
That St. Nicholas
Soon would be there

All safe in their beds

今日はたくさんの犬を使った表現が出てきました。
犬にかかわる表現か多いのはどうしてでしょう?
西洋では昔から生活に深く関わってきました。
ときに人は犬の姿に自分を重ね合わせて表現しました。
また犬は働き者です。
だから犬は他の動物に比べて登場する確率が高いのです。
HW: Animal related expressionを使って短いお話(文書)を作ってみましょう!!
vocabulary
Vines:つる
Queer:変わり者、[60年代には]ゲイ(=strange/weird)
Shoot:take a weapon and explode
Feet:Footの複数形
A dog fight: Very difficult challenge
Candidate:候補者
stray dog:野良犬
read to: I've read to here.ここまで読んだ
Proverbs:ことわざ
Chicken fighting : (子ども同士の)たたき合い
Peachy: 絶好調/「I’m fine. 」や 「I’m OK.」 よりももっと「Perfect」なフィーリングの時に使います。
文脈の中ではなく、常に返答の語として使います。この表現は老若男女に使えますし、ドラマなどでもよく聞きます。トーンによっては、皮肉的な返答の場合もあります。ちなみに「just」は付けても付けなくてもOKですよ。

『大人のための英会話』十日市場地区センター 1月1回目’2017
Happy new year to all
Today class was half full
今日はテキスト「海外旅行の英会話」を使いました。
(ダイソーで見つかります^^)
短いセンテンスからよく使う文章を解説付きで学びました。
本に載っていないところからセンテンスを紹介します。
Can I have a word?/ひとに話しかけたいときに「ちょっといいですか」的なニュアンスです。
Could I have a moment?/もう少しきちんと話したいときに「少しお時間をいただきたいのですが」のニュアンスですね。(こちらは本に載っている文章です)
高橋さんから難問がでました。
以下の単語を1回ずつ使って文章を作ってください。
①[DEPENDENT, ARE ,PERSONS ,MOST, ON, SOMEONE]
②[SAY, WHO, WHAT, SEEMS, MAY, IS, TO, ANYONE, A, RIGHT, HIM]
ここで解説
person と persons、people と peoples
person は知ってのとおり人(個人)です。
ではpersons は?中学高校レベルでは出てこなかったような気が...?
persons はそれぞれ違った(キャラクターの)個人ということです。
では、peopleは?
言わずと知れた(人々の)集団ですよね。
ではpeoples は???
違った特徴をもった(人々の)集団(複数系)
例えばAsian peoplesと言ったときには、日本・中国・インドネシア・インドなど異なった特徴(この場合国籍・文化・背景など)を特徴をそれぞれの集団が持っていて、
単数の people ではくくりきれないときに使います。
社会科の教科書や新聞で見ることがあるかもしれません。
正解は来週にしましょうね。
