TEFL Here We Come!

 












Please see below for the Japanese translation!

Sometimes we photographers just get lucky!

I was headed to the store with Setsuko when she commented on the pretty clouds. Pretty indeed!

I was very happy to be able to capture those cloud formations!

Speaking of happy, I was also happy to take the other pictures when we were waiting to pick up our exchange student. Very cute figures and some nice buildings!

I am now certified via TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) to teach that subject. Yeah! 

If I do not get much substitute teaching work this year, I will be looking to build my tutoring and TEFL teaching business. Please let me know if you or someone you know is interested in my services. 

My web site is tutorinspiration.com

The other good news is that I am not going to need cardiac ablation surgery at this time. That is surgery to prevent bouts of atrial fibrillation, a condition that includes excessive and irregular heart beats. I have had 14 occurrences over the last 27 years. I had such a bout a month ago, but have been fine ever since. I have quite the routine that I am following!

1) Early morning workouts to avoid the heat and humidity

2) A banana (potassium) before I exercise

3) A cup of coconut water before I exercise (electrolytes)

4) 3 tablespoons of salted mixed nuts before I exercise (sodium)

5) 2 multi-vitamins before I exercise

6) Monitor my heart rate with my Apple watch while exercising

7) Drink one bottle of sports drink while exercising (electrolytes)

8) Use air conditioning when the heat gets above 90 degrees (I would rather use fans but heat has been a trigger for my atrial fibrillation)

Wow, no one said it was going to be easy! 

I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer!
 

All the best,

Bob Reed 

 

日本語訳は以下をご覧ください! 写真家って、たまにはラッキーなこともあるんですよね! 節子さんとお店に向かっていた時に、彼女が「きれいな雲だね」と言ってくれました。本当にきれい! あの雲の形を写真に撮ることができて、本当に嬉しかったです! 嬉しいといえば、交換留学生を迎えに行くのを待っている間にも、他の写真を撮れて嬉しかったです。とても可愛い人物像と素敵な建物ですね! 私は今、TEFL(外国語としての英語教授法)の資格を取得して、その科目を教えています。やったー! もし今年、代用教員の仕事があまり入らなければ、家庭教師とTEFLの指導ビジネスを始めようと思っています。もしあなたやあなたのお知り合いで、私のサービスに興味をお持ちの方がいらっしゃいましたら、ぜひお知らせください。 私のウェブサイトはtutorinspiration.comです。 もう一つ良いニュースは、今のところ心臓アブレーション手術を受ける必要がないことです。これは、心房細動(過剰な心拍や不整脈を伴う病気)の発作を予防するための手術です。過去27年間で14回も発作を起こしました。1ヶ月前にも同じような発作がありましたが、それ以来ずっと元気です。今は決まったルーティンに従っています! 1) 暑さと湿気を避けるために早朝に運動する 2) 運動前にバナナ1本(カリウム) 3) 運動前にココナッツウォーターを1杯飲む(電解質) 4) 運動前に塩味のミックスナッツを大さじ3杯食べる(ナトリウム) 5) 運動前にマルチビタミンを2錠飲む 6) 運動中はApple Watchで心拍数をモニターする 7) 運動中にスポーツドリンクを1本飲む(電解質) 8) 気温が90度(華氏32度)を超えるときはエアコンを使う(扇風機を使いたいのですが、暑さが心房細動の引き金になっていることがあります) わあ、簡単だなんて誰も言ってないですね! 残りの夏を楽しんでくださいね! ご多幸を祈ります。 ボブ・リード

  1. Hi Bob! Congrats on finishing your TEFL certification!! That is so exciting. I recall working with the TEFL teachers at the language institute where I worked at Lewis & Clark and thought they had such a fabulous job. Enjoy! Also great news about your health and no need for the procedure! Woohoo!!
