英語日記５週目。一ヶ月やりきった！！！

やり方は最初と変わらず。こんな感じでやってる。 適当に紙の日記帳に書いて、その後、notionに書く。すると、AIが簡単なスペルミスや時制を直してくれる。ここでも結構間違いがある。

その後、deepLにかけてみて、そもそもわからない単語を調べる。

それからchatGPTにかけてみて、流暢な英語表現を学ぶ。

DMMの先生にチェックしてもらうのはchatGPTにかける前のもの。chatGPTできれいな英文法にしたものをDMMの先生にみてもらっても意味ないな。と思ったんで。
その後、chatGPTとDMMの先生の添削を見比べて、復習してから、DMMの先生に添削してもらった方の英作文をこの日記にアップしている。

かなりたどたどしさが残ってる英文だけど、続けているうちに流暢になることを期待してる。

It was a work-from-home day. My coworker told us to summarize the child labor part of the text, it is our homework. So I did and shared my idea on Slack. But no one else did the homework. Only I did. I was upset. But I didn’t complain.

It was a work-from-home day just like yesterday. I drew the main character for the cacao animation. First I drew her whole body for 4 angles, front, back, side, 3/4view. Then I researched the facial expressions and drew 15 faces such as smiling, crying, thinking, angry, surprised, happy, joyful, etc. I finished drawing all of them but I will recheck them tomorrow.

It was a work-from-home day just like every day.
I've been doing my cacao illustration since the day before yesterday. There are two characters in the story: the cacao beans and the girl.
Today I thought about drawing her posing and pointing at the cacao beans, including eating, drinking, and a "surprise" scene.
During lunchtime, I watched the TV program “Sunday Museum” for Mr. Akira Uno, a 90-year-old illustrator. His work is great.

I decided to start a new routine: one day, one drawing.
I set up the rules to keep it up.

1: Just draw something without much thought; follow your daily mood and inspiration
2: Take a picture with your iPhone. Don’t use the scanner because it takes too much time to do it.
3: Don’t feel guilty if you can’t continue this challenge.

It was a day to go to work. I dropped by the Daikanyama Tsutaya bookstore on the way to my office. I researched what was new and trendy, looking through the store. There was also food and stationery there in addition to books.

I booked a hotel that is said to be the hardest to book in Japan. Since we couldn’t book the hotel online. Everyone calls there a year in advance. They open their booking time from 9 am every day, so I started to call them at 9 am. I could talk to them at 9:55 am. I had to call constantly for 55 minutes. Though I was happy to book the room, it was hard work for me.

I visited the Yokohama Art Museum for the first time in three years;due to maintenance. They were hosting an art event, the 8th Yokohama Triennale.
I was anxious that my daughter would get bored, but she seemed to be enjoying herself there.I was happy to see that.
I found out that Susan Cianciolo used to be a fashion designer and had changed to be an artist. Her art work is cute.
