Today is the last day of my winter vacation. As long as I think about the new work I’m facing, I become a little anxious. Everything feels a little unfamiliar after some time, and I need to get used to it all over again. I also feel unsure about whether I’m able to handle my work competently. Since I’m no longer a student, I have to consider independently what I need to do instead of waiting for others to tell me that. I have to take responsibility for what I do, and others will judge me according to the outcome of my work. Although I’ve already been working for a year, I’m still not used to this. I’ve always been responsible for my own learning and I’m quite good at it, but when it comes to work, it just feels a little different.

I went to some cafe with my mom. Also, we enjoyed going shopping, and we had a good time.

この前には、ビデオゲームがだいたい時間が無駄だとずっと思いましたが先日授業の中に僕の生徒は、ビデオゲームは楽で社交や交流に最適な方法であると説明しました。これは、ビデオゲームが学習ツールになり得るというかなり説得力のある議論です. 例えばonlineで色りおな言語で他の世界中の他の競争相手と楽しみにげんごと文化を学べます。 I always used to think that video games were a waste of time. But the other day in class, my students explained to me that video games are a great way to socialize in a relaxing way.

It's sunny today, with a gentle breeze sweeping away the heat. I woke up early to join my dad in welcoming my uncle's family at the airport. My uncle is tall and robust, much larger than my dad. Around noon, my dad chose to take them out to eat at a fancy, authentic Cantonese restaurant – the kind that serves tiny, picturesque dishes more suitable for photographing than for satisfying hunger. Even I could tell that they left the restaurant still hungry. Nevertheless, the focus wasn't really on the food to begin with. They drank up two big bottles of something looks strong throughout the lunch, and the first thing my dad did after the meal was dash to a liquor shop to prepare more drinks for dinner. It turned out that my uncle is much more of a drinker than my dad, so beyond all doubt, they will have much to "discuss" tonight. I hope we won't miss the train tomorrow morning.

Could you correct my English? It's been a while since I played the piano. I couldn't play the song that I used to be able to play. I felt it's important to continue doing. Consistency is key when it comes to maintain or improve something.

“But the secret of good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components. Every word that serves no function, every long word that could be a short word, every adverb that carries the same meaning that’s already in the verb, every passive construction that leaves the reader unsure of who is doing what—these are the thousand and one adulterants that weaken the strength of a sentence. And they usually occur in proportion to education and rank.” Excerpt From On Writing Well

Translation software can do great work in some situations. However, if you can use the language by yourself to communicate with someone, you can feel connections. That's why I’m learning English.
