Episode 1: Tervetuloa!

-----script-----
サユリさんは海外旅行から帰ってきたばかりで、まだ時差ボケが残っています。今日は8時にアラームが鳴（な）りましたが、体がだるく10時にやっと起きることができました。
サユリさんは発酵食品（はっこうしょくひん）が好きで、特に納豆が好きです。今朝は納豆とご飯、そして味噌汁を食べました。
サユリさんの趣味は家庭菜園（かていさいえん）です。ベランダで野菜を育てています。今日もトマトとナスに水やりをしました。
昼間は久しぶりにいとこに会い、旅行のお土産（みやげ）を渡しました。一緒に海鮮丼（かいせんどん）を食べました。新鮮（しんせん）で美味しかったです。値段はたったの800円でとてもコスパが良かったです。
そして夜は友達とカラオケに行き、飲み放題（ほうだい）のコースを注文しました。たくさん歌って食べて、楽しい時間を過ごしました。
充実（じゅうじつ）した１日になりましたが、次の日は二日酔（ふつかよ）いになりました。
