英語で話そう会 8月例会のご報告

８月のテーマは、「あなたの一番好きな趣味はなんですか？」でした。ここでいう趣味とは読書、散歩といった日々の身近な活動ではなく、長年に渡り継続し、且つ情熱を（またお金も）注いできている活動で「これぞ私の趣味です！」というものです。

皆さん多才で色々ある中から一つ選ぶのが大変だった方もいらしたようです。天体観察、旅行、世界遺産訪問、ピアノ、ゴルフ、料理、陶芸、サッカー応援の他、仕事が大好きすぎて仕事が趣味という人、自分を含め親戚が早稲田出身だらけで早稲田にどっぷりはまり、ほぼ早稲田が趣味、という人も。

趣味は人生を豊かにしてくれます。楽しく長く続けられるといいですね。英語で話そう会もその一端を担えると嬉しいです。

今回は例会の後に暑気払いを横浜ビールで行い、会員が親交を深める時間ももてました。

The theme for August was "What is your favorite hobby?" The hobby in this theme is not a simple hobby in everyday activities such as reading or going for a walk, but an activity that you have been doing for many years and have a passion for (and spent money on), and that you can proudly say "This is my hobby!!

It seems that some participants had difficulty choosing one from many hobbies.   Astronomical observation, travel, visiting world heritages, playing piano, golf, cooking, ceramics, and supporting soccer team were listed.  However, there was a member who love to work that her hobby Is working.  Another member said he was surrounded by Wasesda related personnel/graguates, and many of his activities also connect to Waseda that his hobby is Waseda.

Hobbies enrich our lives. I hope we can continue and enjoy the hobby for lifelong time. I would be happy if the “Eigo de hanasou kai” can play a part in it.

After the meeting, we went to Yokohama Beer to socialize, and had a great time.
