英語の質問に答えてみた
ネットで「English question of the day」
と適当にキーワードを入力して出てきた
面白そうな質問に答えてみました。
かなりたくさんの質問が用意されている
ので、生徒さんのレッスンにも活用
できそうです。
私が選んだテーマはこちら
-----------------------------------
Would you rather sleep late every day or
get up early every morning? Why?
(毎日遅くまで寝るほうがよいですか?
それとも朝早く起きるほうがいい
ですか?それはなぜですか?)
-----------------------------------
私の答えは迷わず一択。
I would rather sleep late every day than
getting up early in the morning. The
reason is, I am not simply a morning
person.
My health condition as well as how
I am during the day has got so much
better than ever before since I stopped
getting up early in the morning. I am
self-employed which enables me to decide
my own schedule, and most of my work
begins in the evening. Therefore, I can
sleep late every day, which helps me
to do everything without feeling much
stress.
Unlike many people who are benefitting
from early rising, it only makes me
exhausted and I get easily annoyed. I do
not feel like doing anything, either. I lose
my concentration and even need to take a
nap in order to finish what I have to do by
the end of the day.
Some may wonder, what if I go to bed
earlier than I usually do? That way,
I may be able to get up early in the
morning. Unfortunately, it has never
worked that way for me. Every time
I tried, I just ended up waking up at the
same time I usually did. I slept longer
and very well.
It is great, therefore, that I can sleep
however I want to without worrying
about getting up early in the morning
every day now.

エッセーではないしサクッと書くつもりが
結局すごい見直し癖がついてるやら
なんやらで時間がめちゃくちゃかかって
しまいました。あとでまた変って思う
箇所がいっぱい出てきそうですが
ひとまず今回はこれで。じゃないと
永遠に見直しして書きなおしてそう。
いろんな人がいるから早起きが
適している人もいれば、逆に早起き
することで調子が悪くなる人もいる。
そういう個々の違いが考慮されず
早起きが一番だと強制はされたくない。
と個人的に思ってます。
上に書いたように私は早起きを
辞めてからの方が私はパフォーマンス
が上がり、メンタルも安定して
調子が良いです。そんな人もいます。
