First notebook entry.
(A notebook is usually the book overall, or the ノート. A notebook entry is a piece written into the notebook.)
This is my first notebook entry.
I went to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles; people sometimes say license center, but DMV is much more common) to update my license today. I was caught for speeding before, so I needed to take a two-hour class on traffic rules (remember to say "a" or "the"; while "a class about" something makes sense, "a class on" something sounds a bit better). I felt it was very long and I got sleepy... The enlightening movie about traffic rules was playing. The story was about a happy family. The father was telling (outside of a church, preaching tends to suggest desperation) his son to be an honest person. The mother was expecting a second baby. They looked very happy. But soon after that, the father drove his car into a motorbike because he ignored the stop sign. Although the road was very familiar to him and he would usually stop there, this time, he didn't stop... Then, the driver of the motorbike was killed (died is a past tense verb, not an adjective, while killed is an adjective). His wife got sick because of it. He was blaming his fortune, but he didn't blame himself. His wife blamed him who didn't admit to his mistake. And she said, "We killed a person. We don't have the right to have a baby!!!" He also lost his job.
On the other hand, the victim's family did not accept his apologies. The victim had 2 kids. His wife thought that they had counted very much on the husband. She had to stay in a hospital because of the stress. Their kids were separated. The older brother went to a protective institution. Everything was crushed.
After watching the movie, I feel gloomy, because there were a lot of points that I couldn't agree with.
