I feel recharged and ready for tomorrow’s conference. Listening to and understanding English all day is hard for me. Speaking English when someone talks to me is also difficult. Tomorrow, I’ll think about what I need to take my next step.#英語日記
@Wenkk_wu Since it’s my field, I’m familiar with the technical terms and the topics they’re talking about. So I try to catch key words and connect them in my head to understand the overall meaning. Let’s keep working on our English together! 😊

I attended an international conference for the first time. I realized that my English is not good enough to fully understand the presentations, and I felt disappointed in myself. Still, I’m trying every possible way to understand them.#英語日記
@nazanin_ashrafi Thank you so much for your encouragement! I’ll keep studying and working on my listening skills so that I can understand more next time. 😊

I left Japan to follow a dream I’ve had for three years. I’m surprised that I got here sooner than I expected. It feels amazing that my dream is becoming real. To be honest, I’m nervous about presenting at the conference.#英語日記

I realized how important stretching is. I practice my kyudo form every morning, but I hurt my neck after moving it soon after waking up. I learned that I need to stretch properly before moving my neck and body in the morning.#英語日記

I’m getting used to my stronger bow. My hit rate is getting back to where it was before, which is a relief. I also love how powerful the bow feels when I shoot. The way the arrow flies is so strong and fast, and it feels great!#英語日記

I was worried about the path of the typhoon, but I’m relieved that it won’t hit when I fly on Friday. I’m lucky, but I feel sorry for the people flying on Thursday because the typhoon may hit them directly.#英語日記

When I go to an academic conference, I don’t just want to attend sessions or give presentations. I also want to talk with seniors and others in my field. I was really happy when one of my seniors invited me to dinner afterward.#英語日記

While I was on the train for a long time, I listened to some English stories. I could understand them better than when I listened to them before. It made me feel that my listening skills are gradually improving.#英語日記

When I said a typhoon might hit my flight, my friend said, “You don’t know if that will happen.” I realized he was right. There was no point worrying so much about something I couldn’t know yet. His words made me feel much better.#英語日記

I tried to take less luggage to Canada. I was surprised because I could make my luggage much smaller than I expected. My 40-liter backpack still has a lot of space. I didn’t know I could travel with so little luggage!#英語日記

My eyes were tired today, but I also felt grateful that I can see so well. Thanks to surgery, I can see without glasses, which is so comfortable. I want to thank my eyes for letting me see the world and hope they stay healthy.#英語日記

I had a wonderful long holiday. I talked a lot with my friends, felt more motivated about my activities and kyudo, and studied English. I’m grateful to have the time, money, friends, and hobbies that make my life so fulfilling.#英語日記

I talked with my friend in a loud voice, so my throat got damaged. The venue was big and there were a lot of people, so we had to speak in loud voices. However, I was able to talk a lot and spent a happy time.#英語日記

I went to Ise Jingu to watch a national kyudo competition. I’m so glad I went because I was deeply moved. Every competitor’s shooting was impressive. Watching them gave me a clearer idea of what I need to improve in my own form.#英語日記

I’m gradually getting used to my new bow. A week ago, I was worried about whether I’d be able to handle it well. My accuracy still isn’t very high, but I can feel myself improving little by little. #英語日記

Yesterday, I met up with about 20 friends. We talked about English, life, travel, and our goals. I learned a lot and felt inspired. One thing I took away was that I want to put my experiences into words and share them with others.#英語日記

I finished a lot of work that I needed to do before the holiday, so I feel relieved. I’m really looking forward to this weekend because I have several things I want to do. I’m going to enjoy my time and make the most of the long weekend.#英語日記

It was sunny for the first time in a while, and it was nice to see the sun again. The courtyard at work looked beautiful in the sunlight. I couldn’t hang my laundry outside today, but if it’s sunny over the long weekend, I want to air out my futon.
