This morning, I went to a library to borrow Yoshio Kataoka's book "Myself and Except Myself [片岡義男『自分と自分以外』]". After that, I went to the main house of my group home to see the admins and talk about the special treatment of my teeth (they are needed to do so at a large hospital in Himeji, the next town of ours). We decided when and how I would be able to go to the hospital. I went to see the dentist to tell my will (when I would make the reservation, etc), and after that I had lunch.
This afternoon, I attended the Zoom meeting I had already reserved. That's a special English lesson for me by two English teachers, one from Japan and another from India I heard. The Indian teacher and I met for the first time, so this time I told him who I was basically at first. For example, who I could be (the fact that I am working at a department store, I am autistic, I live in Hyogo prefecture, etc) why I want to learn English, what my hobbies are, what I want to discuss in English, etc. Certainly, I needed to tell these difficult things in precise detail in English, therefore my speaking often had to be "frozen" (I mean my English had to be interrupted by many "pauses").
However, after that meeting, the Japanese teacher said to me that my ability to listen to and speak had been good enough to keep having his classes. Of course, I can't tell what my level of English might be. If mine is good, it must come from the opportunities she (the Japanese teacher) always affords us (me and other students) on Zoom and Telegram. I want to say thanks to her (and also to the members).
As I wrote about a week ago, an artist who is a friend of mine came to my apartment to bring a canvas with a pamphlet. Already I had bought a collection of crayons so I just have to draw my graffiti or something like that... This evening, I attended a Zoom meeting again to enjoy the presentation about Tanabata, a Japanese traditional event, which certainly attracted me to remember the memories of star-gazing, which I had often forgotten to enjoy how pleasant it must be though (but even in this rural area, those stars can be seen rarely because of those crowded buildings' brightness I think).
BTW, two weeks after I have to do my own presentation to those friends once again... Do we enjoy my poor English stories one more time?
