NASAに息子とAIと手紙を書く→【追記】自分の言葉で本気を出してみた

宇宙が大好きな息子

ARTEMIS Ⅱ MissionのORION着水も図鑑と比べながらNASAのYouTube中継を見ました

でも、息子は英語がメインなので、日本語の図鑑だと説明不足に感じるというか、聞かれる私が翻訳するのが大変…専門用語は発音もよくわかんないし。

英語の図鑑はAmazonで買うので、立ち読みできず、よしあし。

息子が喜びそうだし、NASAにお手紙を書いてencourageしてもらおう

と思い立ちました

簡単な英語で文章を作成

Dear NASA,

I am a mother of 4-year-old boy who has gray zone asperger spectrum disorder and dreaming of to be an astronaut.

Because of an ASD and that we had been in US for 3 years, my son speaks almost English only. Although he loves space things so much and has many encyclopedia in Japanese, I cannot fully tell him in English.  

I would like to give him a lot of experiences and acknowledge that will encourage him about his dream. 

中学生レベルの文法しか使ってない

グレーゾーンって和製英語だろうな～

この後も何を続けたらいいのかな～

AIさんに頼んでみました

褒めて伸ばしてくれる

Dear NASA,

I am writing to you as the mother of a 4-year-old boy who dreams of becoming an astronaut.

My son is on the autism spectrum (gray zone Asperger’s). Having lived in the U.S. for three years, he primarily speaks English. He is absolutely fascinated by space and spends his time looking through Japanese space encyclopedias. However, as a parent, I sometimes find it challenging to explain complex space concepts to him fully in English.

I want to provide him with as many experiences and as much knowledge as possible to encourage his dream. I believe that his passion for the stars will help him overcome any challenges he may face.

Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration for children like my son.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

これらを全て盛り込んだ完全版をお願いしました

Dear NASA,

I am writing to you as the mother of a 4-year-old boy who dreams of becoming an astronaut.

My son is on the autism spectrum (gray zone Asperger’s). Having lived in the U.S. for three years, he primarily speaks English. He is absolutely fascinated by space and spends his time looking through Japanese space encyclopedias. However, as a parent, I sometimes find it challenging to explain complex space concepts to him fully in English.

I want to provide him with as many experiences and as much knowledge as possible to encourage his dream. In this regard, I have a few requests:

First, if possible, would it be possible to receive a short encouraging message or any educational materials for him? I would love to show him that his heroes at NASA are cheering for his dream.

Second, could you recommend any NASA resources or programs specifically designed for young children with ASD? I want to find the best way to explain the wonders of space to him in English, his primary language.

Lastly, as he grows up, I want to support his unique journey. Do you have any advice or stories of individuals on the spectrum who have contributed to NASA's missions? This would give him great hope for his future.

I believe that his passion for the stars will help him overcome any challenges he may face. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration for children like my son.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

AIとはここまで。

あとは息子に絵を書いてもらったり、stickerを貼ったりして、和風なレターセットで送ろうかな？と思っています

皆さんは子供の頃に、自分の興味のあるところに手紙を送ったりしたことはありますか？

この文章に更なるアドバイスがあれば、それも是非お願いします

【追記】

最初の素のままの文が心が籠っていて良いですよ、という温かいコメントをいただきました

バーッと下書きしてAI任せにしたのをやめて、頂いたアドバイスも踏まえて、自分の言葉でしたためることにしました

Dear NASA,

I'm writing to you because I thought you could encourage my son's dream of being an astronaut.

My 4-year-old son has autism spectrum disorder. 

Because ASD affects his communication skill and that we lived in US for 3 years, his primary language is English. Although he loves space especially moon, solar system and blackholes so much and has many encyclopedias in Japanese, I cannot fully tell him in English.  

I wish I could give him a lot of experiences and knowledge that would encourage him about his dream. 

We would be most grateful if you could do as following:

First, please let us know if there are any programs for little children or for children with ASD at NASA, either it is in-person or online.

Second, can we have stickers or something, that will encourage his dream? I know some stickers could be downloaded on the website, but it would be much more exciting for my son to receive them from NASA.

Lastly, I'm just curious, but could you tell me if there are any people with ASD at NASA? I hope my son will also achieve great things someday.

We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,  

AIさんの文章を頭にいれちゃうと引っ張られちゃうので、まず書いて、文法だけAIさんにチェックをしてもらってほぼ直さずいけた、というか、提案してくれた修正案は採用せず。

真面目に書いているうちに英文を書くことを思い出せて良かった

これで伝わるかな

ちなみに、「文法をチェックして」とAIにいれたら、上記の質問内容についての検索結果も教えてくれました調べれば出てくることを質問しちゃって恥ずかしい人間じゃんでも送る
