10年ぐらい前のマーシャ先生の英会話のスキットを少し変えてみました。
-------
A: I've just started studying English by writing a few lines in English every day.
B: That's good. Just try to stick with it.
A: I'll try, but the odds are low. I've never gotten into the habit of writing daily.

---
A: When did you take up writing in English?
B: I' ve been writing in English ever since I was 15.
A: And you've kept it up all these years?
B: Well, in the 35 years since, the routine has changed. But I haven't lost the writing habit.
A: How much time do you devote to write?
B: Only about a few minutes a day. But once in a while, I write in English for more than one hour.
----
A: I've always dropped out of writing programs within a month or two. How do you keep it up?
B: The most effective way is to be flexible. People tend to take an all-or -nothing approach. But that's often counterproductive.
A: That's so true. When I skip a few days, I feel like a failure and quit entirely.
B: Never mind if you miss a day or two. Don't be compulsive. And don't try to make it up.
A: You've got a point.
----
B: At times, I've gone a week or more without studying English. Except for writing a few lines in English.
A: (surprised) You write in English every day?
B: Well, writing a few lines takes very little time. I write in English whenever I can grab a few minutes. Once you get into the habit, it's a cinch.
