- A summary of an article I write a summary of this article : https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/app/daily-news/article/twitter-study-shows-how-american-english-develops/bQzM-j03Eem9OedC2kjzOQ please correct it and give me an advice how to improve my summary. The English language is constantly changing. For example, in 2018 the Oxford English Dictionary added over 4000 new words. But where do they come from and who invented them? To know the answer, researchers examined tweeter posts about where and when they were used first time on online. And also they focused on 54 new words from American Tweeter. the researchers knew that the words came from 5 parts of US: the West Coast, the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the Deep South and the Gulf Coast. It was found out that culture affects way of speaking. For instance, in the Mid-Atlantic and the Deep South there so many African Americans, so many new words are common in African American English like baeless, boolin, famo and so on. Other area like the West Coast and the Northeast, the propotion of young ones is high, so many new words are abbreviations like faved, balayage, rekt, something like that.April 7, 201900
- I started a new job! PLEASE COLLECT MY DIARY AND TEACH ME USEFUL EXPRESSION! Last monday, I started a new job related to internet technology. On the first day of work, I was about to die because I was so nervous. But my boss and colleagues are so kind and teach me everything that I need to know! I really appreciate them. But now I have a lot of work to do, so I have to put away it on weekend as I can. That's too much trouble.April 5, 201920
- 「油をあける」means “remove cooking oil from a pan”. So 「フライパンが十分温まったら、油をあける。(その後)、バター(またはサラダ油)を入れる」means “ When you heat the pan enough, remove the oil from the pan. And then put butter in the pan.” When you cook something on a non-Teflon-coated iron pan, you should do “油をあける” not to burn ingredients. (Put cooking oil in the pan, heat the pan and then remove the oil from the pan: we call this process “油ならし”). But recently most people use a Teflon-coated pan because ingredients don’t get burnt soon on the coated pan. So you don’t have to do the process of “油ならし” when you use the coated pan. That’s why many people don’t often use this expression “ 油をあける”. But you may find it in some recipes(especially in the recipes of Chinese food). まあこの表現を覚えておいて損はないですよ^_^0 votedDecember 9, 20181
いくつかの文章、パート２
This is part 2 of some random sentences that I wrote over the past few days.
１．私の猫は椅子の下に座っています。
My cat is sitting under the chair.
「私の猫」→ 「うちの猫」or 「うちの子」are more natural in a conversation.「座っています」→ You just say「います」
２．本棚の上にガラスの花瓶があります。
There is a glass vase on the bookshelf.
Great!３．私は電話を待つことが嫌いです。
I hate waiting for a phone call.
「待つこと」→「待つの」is better.４．朝ご飯にパンケーキを食べています。
I’m eating pancakes for breakfast.
Good!(You can say 「ホットケーキ」in stead of 「パンケーキ」)
５．私は「The Sims 4」で家を建てることが好きです。
I like building houses in The Sims 4.
No problem!
６．テレビをあまり見ません。
I don’t really watch TV.
「あまり」→「全然（ぜんぜん）」It's a very strong negative word.But if you want to say " I don't often watch TV", you can say「テレビをあまり見ません」.
７．私は去年オーランダに行きました。
Last year I went to Netherlands.
「オーランダ」→「オランダ」
８．私はアムステルダムで買ったマグカップからお茶を飲んでいます。
I’m drinking tea from the mug I bought in Amsterdam.
「から」→「で」「で」is used with appliances, instruments or utensils.
For example,
「私はお箸でご飯を食べます」
→I have a meal with chopsticks.
９．私は買い物に行くのが好きじゃないです。ショップでいつも人がたくさんいます。
I don’t like going shopping. There are always a lot of people in the shop.
「で」→「には」There are another phases to say 「ショップにはいつも人がたくさんいます」
1、「お店はいつも人でいっぱいです」
2、「お店はいつも人でごった返しています」
１０．私は茶色の木製の机に座っています。
I’m sitting at a brown wooden desk.「机に座る」is not bad, but some people may misunderstand it "sit on a desk" in Japanese.
So remenber the phrases below :
「机(or デスク) に向かう」
「席につく」(This is often used in school)
１１．私はチーズは好きですが、牛乳はきらいです。
I like cheese, but I hate milk.
Perfect!
１２．最近私は新しい本を二冊買いました。
Recently I bought two new books.That's correct!
You did great!
There are some mistakes that I don't correct because these are very ambiguous and the meanings of such words vary according to the situation. So you can learn them little by little. Keep the pace!
ガンバ！
