Pleased correct my English sentences. My New Year’s Resolutions about English 〇Keep a diary in English every day (3 lines or more) 〇Read English news at least one (NHK world or BBC or CNN in the app) every day. 〇Read one English book completely (one book in three months) “ bridget jones’s diary “ 267page about 90 page in a month 〇Review the chat with my English teacher on the lesson and look back on what I should have said. Maybe, it is important to consider specific short-term goals and long-term goals. But now I haven't set a specific time and goals. This year, I have decided to study English in this direction. I've spent a lot of time studying English so far, but I've forgotten what I've learned over time. I feel like I couldn't make them my own. It's difficult to remember everything I've learned, but I will pick up expressions that might be particularly useful, and that I might use, and sentences that I’m interested in, and I will remember them over and over again. I would like to make it a habit to put them in my memory. I want to spend at least 30 minutes a day doing that. Then I will try to make my own sentences using those words and sentences. I will use them as much as possible. I think it's a good idea to chat with someone online. And from this year, I will try to look up words in the English-English dictionary as much as possible. When I make a sentence, I usually think in Japanese and then translate them into English, so I would like to try to think in English in directly and write them.

At the end of 2020, there happened a bad thing for me. I was looking forward to getting the Icebreaker’s items I ordered. And that was delivered to me on the last day of 2020. After taking a bath, I tried to wear it and noticed that it was too small in size. I checked my order and found that it was my misstate. I was shocked. That was non-returnable. Therefore I lined to my daughter and told her how I shocked and said to her I would present it to her. So I called my daughter and told her how shocked I was and told her I would give it to her if she wants. Actually, I didn’t pay for that. My husband bought it as a present for my birthday next month. It was a pity that his present was wasted. (It was a pity that his present was wasted.) But good things occurred one hour later. The time was just going through to the next year. My daughter sent me a message on Line application to let me know that she bought me the Icebreaker camisole which I wanted for my Birthday present. She found the store with a bargain sale and was able to get it cheaply, so she bought one more another kind of underwear of my size. I was delighted with the unexpected gift from my daughter. I think this year would be a good year for me as there happened a good event since the beginning of this year.

People wearing white clothes on the mountain In Japan, mountains have been considered holy places since ancient times, and there was a deep-rooted religious view that gods lived there. Mt. Ishizuchi is one of them, and the whole mountain is sanctified and is known as a mountain of worship. Mt. Ishizuchi has long been known as a place for religious people to do a strict practice, and it seems that the custom remains today. A shrine is built on the top of Mt. Ishizuchi, so the people who came in white clothes were the ones who worshiped there. White has the meaning of purity. They may even use band-aids because they can hurt their hands as they climb up the long chains to the summit. The woman, who seemed to have no hands, probably she had her hands in her sleeves because of the cold.

Climbed Hiyama with my sister and my husband today. I was worried that my physical strength has declined than I claimed there 5 years ago. But I was glad that I managed to climbed there without any difficulty.

View of our experiences in Vancouver 1 There were various happenings, and during the first week, I had been stressed as to lose my appetite extremely. Still, this two-week stay in Vancouver was very meaningful to me. Staying abroad for two weeks is a big adventure for old people like us. At first, I thought that two weeks would be too short, but considering physical strength, energy, and economics, I think that two weeks was just right for us. (If I were much younger, it would have been nice to stay there at least half a year, or maybe a year)

The Stress of Transforming Air Plain When I move by some transportation, I always leave much earlier to catch it. But planes are always harassing to me. This time, when we were going back to Narita from Vancouver, we planned to arrive at the Vancouver Airport 3hours before the departure time. However, At the Vancouver Airport, it was just a good time after all because we wandered around there, we couldn't handle well the automatic check-in machine, and we took a long time to wait for the line. After arriving at Narita Airport, we planned to have one hour to get on a limousine bus. However, it took more than an hour only to receive our luggage. There was a distance to the Wi-Fi return box, and more, we had to wait in a long line to buy a bus ticket. Also, the next bus was not available because it was fully booked, so we　had no choice to buy another later bus tickets. After arriving at Haneda Airport, what a long distance we had to walk to the entrance gate. My sister and I had a light meal before we depart, but we had only 20 minutes.　What a hectic time we spent! On that day Typhoon was going through over Japan. The flight to Hiroshima was a conditional departure that might return to Haneda depending on the weather. Still, I'm glad I managed to return to Hiroshima as scheduled!

The High School Student sitting next to us on the Ａirplane Our seats were the middle and the aisle out of the three seats near the window.　A young girl was sitting by the window. She told us that she had studied abroad for a year and was about to return to Japan. She also said she was happy because she could speak Japanese after a long absence. She was a cheerful and energetic girl, and she told us about her experiences while studying abroad. The high school she belongs to in Japan was the one that is featured that there are many students from abroad and many Japanese students study abroad during school. I could imagine how she might have grown up in her youth through various experiences.

Talked with Many People As my purpose was to speak English as much as I could while I was in Vancouver, I talked with many people when I had opportunities. This morning, I talked to a woman when waiting for an elevator at the hotel. And a while ago, when we were eating pizza in waiting time, a woman asked if she could sit with us. It was a good opportunity both to speak English and interact with strangers. She was German. She said she is going to visit her friend in New York from now. We had a good time talking with her for a while.

Met my classmates at the Air Port Finishing the check-in of the flight and leaving my luggage, we are about to head to the gate. Then, I happened to meet four members of my classmates who were very familiar to me as we studied together for these two weeks. What a coincidence we met them in such a wide place! They said to me that they had come to see their friend. And I found out later. I met William (English name, Korean) at the boarding gate. My classmates had come to see him off. He said he would take the same flight as me to Narita, and transfer from there to Korea. When I asked him what he does after returns, he said he would go back to university and continue studying physical therapy. I have heard about his major before. He said that In Korea, The salaries of physical therapists are not very good. In my memory, I said to him that the physical therapist is a very important job that helps people a lot, so keep studying with confidence. I hope my thoughts got through to him well.
