英語ストーリー(english story)
Title: Vocabulary Day at School
Last Friday, our English teacher gave us a special assignment. We had to choose five difficult words and find at least one synonym and one antonym for each. I chose the word “happy” and wrote “joyful” as a synonym and “sad” as an antonym. My friend Ken picked “begin” and used “start” as a synonym and “end” as an antonym.
During class, we used a synonym dictionary and shared our findings in small groups. One student asked, “Is there a perfect synonym for every word?” The teacher said, “No, some words like ‘unique’ don’t have perfect synonyms.”
Later, we played a matching game. We had to match words with their synonyms and antonyms. It was fun and helped us remember better. We also learned many binomials, like “synonyms and antonyms” and “words and meanings.” These helped us understand how English is used naturally.
That day, I realized that using alternatives to common words can make writing more interesting. I’ll definitely use more synonyms in my essays.
その後、マッチングゲームをしました。単語とその類義語・反義語を組み合わせるゲームです。とても楽しくて、記憶にも残りやすかったです。また、「synonyms and antonyms(類義語と反義語)」や「words and meanings(単語と意味)」のような2項表現も学びました。これらは英語が自然に使われる方法を理解するのに役立ちました。
