Hello everyone! How are you? It’s very hot these days, isn’t it?
Today, I want to talk about outdoor bathing. In Japan, we call this “gyozui.” I often do this in summer. Long ago, many people did gyozui because it was cheap. It uses the sun’s heat, which is usually wasted.
Gyozui is easy. You put water in a big tub in the morning and leave it in the sun all day. By evening, the water is warm!
I did some research about the word “bathe.” I used a special tool called Word DNA. Many European and Indian languages come from an old language called Proto-Indo-European. This old language had “Word DNAs.”
Here are three interesting things I found:
1. The DNA of “bath” is “BETH,” which means “warm.”
2. “Bake” also comes from “BETH.” It’s funny that “bathe” and “bake” are related, especially in this hot weather!
3. In German, “Bad” means “bath,” and some place names like “Baden” use this word too.
I think you should try outdoor bathing. Here’s why:
1. It’s cheap. You only need water and sunlight.
2. It helps you enjoy hot days. When it’s very hot, you’ll be happy because your bath water will be nice and warm!
Outdoor bathing is good for nature and for your mind. It helps you feel better about hot weather.
I hope you have a good summer and keep learning English.
See you next time,
Jiro
私立学校に英語教師として勤務中、40代半ばに差し掛かったころ、荒れたクラスを立て直す策として、生徒に公言して英検1級に挑戦することを思い立つ。同様の挑戦を繰り返し、退職までに英検一級（検定連合会長賞）、TOEIC満点、国連英検SA級、フランス語一級、スペイン語一級（文科大臣賞）、ドイツ語一級、放送大学大学院修士号などの成果を得る。
アメリカで生徒への対応法を学ぶ為に研修（地銀の助成金）。最新の心理学に触れた。4都県での全発表、勤務校での教員への研修を英語で行う。現在も特別選抜クラスの授業を全て英語で行っている。「どうやって単語を覚えればいいですか？」という良くある質問に答える為、印欧祖語からの派生に基づく「生徒には見せたくない語源英単語集」を執筆中。完成間近。常日頃洋書の読破で様々な思考にふれているが、そうして得た発想の一つを生かして書いた論文がコロナ対策論文として最近入賞。賞品の牛肉に舌鼓をうっている。元英検面接委員
