あれ……もしかしてもう一週間たつのか……はやい……。
地味に多読は続けている。多読の材料は相変わらずChatGPT。ChatGPTのいいところは、僕の偏った興味にひたすら答えてくれることだ。多読は自分が好きな文章を読むのが大事だと痛感。興味のない絵本を簡単だからという理由では読めないんや。
多読
地味に続けている。英語読むのは少し早くなった気がする。一日3000〜5000wordsくらい。そろそろ記録つけよう……。
課題意識の一つは、英語のメモリが3wordくらいしかないこと。多読をすることで、長い英文を一塊として認識できるようになるかなぁと。

Speaking
Describe wave technology. What is it, What is it used for, etc, etc.
I'm a software engineer, and I'm developing IoT service. IoT stands for Internet of Things. To connect things to the Internet, we need to use wave technology.
Wave technology may sound a little difficult, but it is very familiar to us. For example, wi-fi is a kind of wave technology. Wave technology enalbes us to enjoy the Internet. Thanks for wave technology, I can take this English lesson. Thank you.
Despite the fact we use wave technology every day, we usually don't think about it. One of the reasons may be that waves are invisible. We can't understand invisible things easily. Some people misunderstand waves. One or two years ago, some people said vaccine for covid-19 connect us to 5G. I was confused. Of course, we can't directly be connected to 5G. It is non sense.
Understanding wave technology may be a little difficult. Wi-fi is familier to us, but other techonoloies are not always familier. For example, LPWA, which stands for Low Power Wide area, is a kind of wave technology and often used in IoT, but maybe most people haven't ever heard.
In addition, my business is related to agricultural IoT, but farmers often don't use the Internet. In Japan, most farmers are old. The average age of farmers in Japan is 67 old years. Sometimes they don't have even smartphones. I think that before things do the Internet, human sholud do the Internet.
I beleive that our sevice is useful for them, but getting them to use our service is more difficult than understanding wave technology.
