英語で話そう会 12月例会のご報告
今月は新事務所での初めての会。迷った方もいたようですが、きっと次回からは大丈夫ですよね。
テーマは「あなたの大好きなものは？」。
多かったのが音楽（しかもジャズファンが圧倒的）で、ブルーノートからミニチュアの金のサクソフォンを買ってきたというメンバーがいました（写真参照）。音楽は聴くだけでなく楽器を演奏するというメンバーも（個人的にはいつか聞いてみたい）。
お仕事の中で人が喜んでくれる顔をみるのが好きという方、日の出・日の入り・月をみるのが好きという方、万葉集の歌について調べるのが好きという方、四季の移り変わりが好きという方、小さい子供の様子を見るのが好きという方（無邪気で平和な笑顔をみると気持ちが穏やかになるそうです）、モータースポーツが好きでアメリカのルート66を走破した方、もっと具体的にお寿司やお酒が好きという方、などその答えの中にもメンバーそれぞれの一面を垣間見ることができました。それにより仲間への親近感が増した方もいらしたようです。
今回は例会後に中華街の菜香新館で忘年会も行い、親交を深めました。
今年も一年稲門会の事務局、会のメンバーの皆様、色々とありがとうございました。良い年をお迎えください。
It was the first time meeting in a new office. A Few members got lost, however, I believe people could get to the office smoothly from next time.
This month's theme was “What is your favorite things?”
Many mentioned music (and jazz fans were the most), and one member brought a miniature gold saxophone from Blue Note (photo attached). Some likes palying instruments as well as listening (personally, I would love to hear them play).
One said she likes to see people's happy faces when they are bathed in care hospitals where she works, another said he likes watching sunrize and sunset also watching moon, another said he likes to read and study about poems from the old times in Manyoshu, another said he likes appreciating the changing of the seasons, another said he likes to watch small children (he feels so relaxed and peaceful with their smiles), another said he likes motorsports and has driven Route 66 in the U.S., another talked about food and beverages such as sushi and sake. The details on the reason of favorite things would show some sort of character of each member. I believe not a few people have felt familiarity to others from the answers they provided.
After the regular meeting, we had a year-end party at the Caixiang Shinkan in Chinatown to deepen our friendship.
I would like to thank all of you for those who helped to hold the club. I am wishing you a happy new year.
