============================
Hi there!!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Happy New Year!!
(Is it a little late to be saying that? Maybe, but
that’s OK.)
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
So, a little update on me. At the moment, I’m in Australia! Yes, that’
s right, in Australia, enjoying summer. Nice! Unfortunately though, I’m
in Australia because my parents aren’t well. I’m back here for a while,
so that I can help them more. This means I’ll be busy, and as I already
said at the end of last year, I won’t be able to send out the daily
mini-mails.
However, I want to keep in touch with you, and I want to keep you motivated
to study English, and to use the Eigo Techo for 2013, too. I thought about
the best way that I could do that, and decided an “End of Month” review mail
might be a good way. What do you think? Hope you like this idea.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Let’s get started with January’s review mail.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
First up, January’s topic: “Navigate your life. 人生の出港のとき”…
Interesting topic, don’t you think? How well do you know yourself?
Could you write a book about “you”? Havi Brooks, a woman with very
blue hair, has an interesting blog, and on it, she talks about writing
“The Book of You” and in this “book” (which could be a journal or
just a few notes or pages). Basically, what you are doing is studying
yourself: Taking notes, and continually learning new things about
yourself. Here are some examples that I wrote in “my book of me”:
I don’t usually like risk-taking.
A defining moment in my life was when I decided to go to Japan for
a homestay in high school.
The most sublime chocolate for me are Reese’s Pieces.
And so on. (These are my examples, of course, yours would be different!)
Here’s the link if you’d like to read the whole blog article.
So, why not try using some of January’s words to write a “book of you”?
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
And now for a quick review of the monthly words.

By the way, if you have any feedback, I’d love to hear what you think about
this new style for the mail magazine. Sorry, there won’t be any Japanese
translation this year, but I’ll keep the mails short so that every level can
enjoy them.
See you at the end of February!
Chris
