On a rainy day.

From yesterday to today had a heavy rain so both the days had any warnings. For example, Kumamoto city had a warning of heavy rains and local flooding. In addition, we had a thunderstorm advisory. However, we didn't have any happenings so I was very happy!

However, the rainy season has begun in Japan so it remains possible that we would have some warnings during the term. Therefore, we have to care them.

By the way, do you know that in these days, Japan has many nice goods for rainy days? For example, "Rain Boots"are very popular among young women! The reason why they like "Rain Boots", there are 2 good points about them.

First, the boots are the kind of rubber boots so we can walk in the rainy day without fear of rains! Second, the Rain Boots are very stylish and cute.

For these reasons, the boots are very popular. If you interested in the Rain Boots, you could search in the Internet!

In class: Time after Time

Last week, we took the words to a song's dictation. The title was " Time after Time". It was a little difficult for me to do that but I enjoyed listening to the song!

In this post, I would think about the meaning of this song. The question is that what do I think about this song?
I think this song's theme is disappointment in love. For example, "You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said" and "Then you said go slow," show that a discrepancy between man and woman. In other words, woman walks ahead of boyfriend. On the other hand, the man walks behind the girlfriend. Therefore, the woman can't hear what he said . However, the woman wouldn't walk slowly so they might feel the end of their relationships.

My sister's sport.

Maybe you know, my young sister's name is Mika. She has belonged to a badminton club for 3 years. And this Monday, she retired the club because she finished her last game in a big tournament.
She is 15 years old so she is in her last year of junior high school now. Therefore, she had to retire the club and to use her energy for her life of a student preparing for an entrance examination.
She couldn't rank high on the tournament but she did her best so it is OK! I said to her, " You practiced it very hard so you are good player." She smiled and said "Thank you, Mai."

By the way, I had belonged to a badminton club when I was a junior high school student too. So, I hope that if both Mika and I have much time, I want to play badminton with her!

My favorite cat!

This animation is my favorite cat! This cat named " Manchikan". The kind of this cat's character is that they have short legs!

Do you think this cat is very cute, don't you?

When I knew the cat, I watched one of the television programs. I have never had any animals in my house. However, when I knew the cat, I fought the impulse to have one.

If I would start my single life, I want to have one.

The Last Photo

~Summary~

Martin and his sister Pam are in Cambridge for the day. They are looking at the beautiful old buildings of this University City. Pam has a camera with her because she likes taking photos.

It is five o'clock so they are about to leave there. Then, Pam says that she wants to take a photo because she wants to finish the film in her camera. And just when Pam starts to take a photo of Martin, a man with a big rucksack on his back walks between Pam and Martin. Therefore, Pam can't take a photo of her brother. They gets angry so they see the man when he is getting into a bus. Martin and Pam find that the man is going to Aberdeen in Scotland.

Three days later, Pam has got her photos from the shop and she enjoys looking them with Martin. And when Martin looks at the last photo, he remembers the man's face. The reason why he knows the man's face, there is a photo of the man in the day's newspaper. According to the newspaper, the man's name is Alan Rook. He works in a bank in London but on Monday morning, he stole $100,000 and remain at large.

Martin and Pam take the picture to the police and speak to a policeman. Fortunately, they knew that Alan Rook had a tent and got a bus. Therefore, the next day, the police in Aberdeen find Alan in a tent in the mountains near Aberdeen. In addition, the money from the bank is in his rucksack.

For this reason, the people at the bank are very happy and they give Martin and Pam a thousand pounds. Pam says, " My last photo's a good one after all" and laughs.

~My impression~

When I finished reading this book, I thought that this story shows a proverb, "A lucky mistake". Pam's last photo is not good as a photo in an album but it led to the best result!

And for the result, she can buy a very good new camera. What a wonderful story!
