雨女（あめおんな）

先日（せんじつ）、私は箱根（はこね）に行った。箱根は神奈川（かながわ）県（けん）にある国内（こくない）屈指（くっし）の温泉街（おんせんがい）だ。残念（ざんねん）なことに、私は雨女なので、旅行（りょこう）に行く時はよく雨が降（ふ）る。当日（とうじつ）も例（れい）に漏（も）れず、雨が降っていた。

大雨（おおあめ）が降る中（なか）、箱根湯本（はこねゆもと）駅（えき）から宿泊（しゅくはく）する旅館（りょかん）まで歩いた。途中（とちゅう）で旦那（だんな）と箱根まんじゅうを食べたり、晩酌（ばんしゃく）用（よう）のお酒（さけ）やおつまみを買ったりした。旅館に到着（とうちゃく）後（ご）、貸切（かしきり）露天風呂（ろてんぶろ）に入ったのだが、この時の雨はなんだかとても美しく思えた。雨と木々（きぎ）の香（かお）りに包（つつ）まれながら入る温泉（おんせん）は、なんと清々（すがすが）しいことか。いつもなら憎（にく）いと思う雨も、こんな日には悪（わる）くない。

Having an interview

In the British political system, elections must be held every five years, though it can be sooner than that in some situations. The UK is divided into 650 political areas, and in each area people vote for ~ person representing the political patty they want co see in power. The politician with the most votes becomes the Member of Parliament (known as an MP) for that area. Parliament, therefore, has 650 MPs, and the party with the majority of MPs usually forms the government. The leader of that party also becomes prime minister
