stuck

Tuesday, 23 April 2024

I’m stuck. The speed of my reading English books is slow down. Now I’m reading The Cobra Event by Richard Preston, which is a little difficult for me. The previous book of it was very easy to read, so I expected this book is also easy. But there are too many unknown words and the structure of the sentences are complicated. I decided the rule that I read this book 20 pages per day, which so far I’m able to keep. But I will struggle soon.

Today my colleague and I dealt with a difficult task. Hardly I could help him enough, but I did what I could do. Tomorrow we will have a scrum event and I will be assigned a new task. Is it true that the more tasks I deal with, the more my skills advance?

I’m practicing typing with Russian keyboard order. I almost memorize where each keys are, but I can’t type proactively as well as English keyboard order. However, I’m not supposed to type Russian so long text, so perhaps I don’t need to worry about it.

Revised Diary

Tuesday, 23 April 2024

I’m stuck. The speed of my reading English books has slowed down. Currently, I’m reading “The Cobra Event” by Richard Preston, which is a little difficult for me. The previous book I read was very easy, so I expected this book to be easy as well. However, there are too many unknown words, and the sentence structures are complicated. I have set a rule for myself to read 20 pages of this book per day, which I have been able to maintain so far. But I anticipate I will soon start to struggle.

Today, my colleague and I dealt with a difficult task. I could hardly help him enough, but I did what I could. Tomorrow, we will have a scrum event, and I will be assigned a new task. Is it true that the more tasks I deal with, the more my skills will advance?

I am practicing typing with the Russian keyboard layout. I have almost memorized the positions of each key, but I can’t type as quickly and fluently as with the English keyboard layout. However, since I am not expected to type long texts in Russian, perhaps I don’t need to worry about it.

Explanation of Corrections

1. The correct phrase is “the speed of my reading English books has slowed down” instead of “slow down” to indicate a change in speed.
2. “I expected this book to be easy” is a clearer phrasing than “I expected this book is also easy”.
3. “Tomorrow, we will have a scrum event” is a more appropriate way to structure the sentence for better flow.
4. “I can’t type as proactively as with an English keyboard layout” is a clearer way to express the idea. (complete)
