こんにちは。
実践ビジネス英語の復習。３回目の更新になりました。
今回はなかなか聴き応えのある内容でした。
Staying Sharp(2)
U:Not really, since it's not a true story. My dad just like to tell a funny story like that in the style of Rakugo that is a traditional Japanese art of story-telling.
C: I like your dad already, Shota. Sounds like he and I have a similar sense of humor.
G: We middle-aged people can be forgetful and distracted at times. When that happens, we get all flustered and worry that there's something wrong with us.
L: Which is almost certainly not the case. It's important to remember - if we can - that we live in a fast-paced world and have a lot of stuff on our proverbial plates.
The simple truth, is that we can't retrieve all information we want when we need it.
U: Yes. I think there's more to forgetfulness than aging. Like you say Steve, it's often a case of information overload. Just like my computer, our brains sometimes run out of storage space. And of course, as you get older you have more experiences and information store in the old gray matter.
C: True. But don't forget that forgetfulness is a normal part of aging. As we get older, changing take place in all parts of our body da???includes a brain. It can take longer to learn new things. We don't remember information as well as we used to.
