今週のTopicはWhat a disaster
日曜日にちょっとだけこのユニットの予習をしてたのですが、まあ難しい…。授業中に1分くらいで読んでねって言われるようなリーディングパートに1時間くらいかかりましたね。そしてTwitterフレンドに勧められて、Titanic submersibleのニュース記事を夜な夜な読んだおかげで、授業もかなりスムーズに受けられました。みんなニュース見てるの偉い…。テレビ見てるのかな?私は一秒も見てない(笑)ずーっとNetflixかDisney+かSPOTIFYで生きてます。

Grammar point:Past Perfect
・過去の2つ以上のactionを説明するときに使う。
・S + had + past participle
*had + infinitiveの時もあるから見落とし注意
I had eaten→event
I had to eat→need, requirement
Before, Afterを使うときは、Past Perfectにしなくても良いって最初教わったけど、次の先生曰く、American EnglishならPast Simpleにするけど、AustraliaとかBritishならPast Perfectにするのが普通と…。そして、テストの時はどっちを書けばいいかという他の生徒の問いに関しては、その時の担当の先生になにEnglishか聞いとくのが良いって返答だったけどハードル高いw
Actionが二つ以上のときは全部Past Perfect使っておけば間違いないかな?OrderならPast Simpleって言われたこともあるけど、それをPast Perfectにしても問題ないのかな?変なのかな?

Past Simple, Past Continuous, Past PerfectはNarrative Tensesで、storyを伝えるときに使う。

今週でテストは3回目。一番難しかった。時間も足りなかった。70%くらいの正答率だったかな…?時間があればもう少し頑張れたはず(;_;)

今週はどれもこれも難しかった。知らない単語多すぎるし、過去完了使って話すの難しすぎる。難しすぎると、授業中に質問するタイミングも逃してしまう。わからないときにThaiの友達に聞くと、すべてIt’s okay~って言われるのがじわる。ハマる。でも疑問は解決しない。
