Confusing words  (A2 - Elementary)

最近、道にたくさんのりんごが落ちています。
私はりんごが好きなので年中りんごを食べています。最近はスーパーでりんごを買わずに、道で拾ったりんごをよく食べています。このりんごは売っているりんごよりもすっぱいので、そのまま食べるとあまりおいしくありません。なので、昨日アップルパイを作りました。冷凍のパイ生地を使ったので、とても簡単でおいしくできました。
そろそろ栗も出てくる季節なのでオーブンで栗を焼いて食べるのも楽しみです。でも、今ヨーロッパの電気代はとても上がっているので、今年は少しオーブンを使うのを控えた方がいいかもしれません。

みなさんにとって秋の食べ物といえばなんですか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。

〈#133〉11月7日月曜日　1年最後のプレゼント・お歳暮

先週ドイツに帰ってきました。成田空港からフランクフルト空港までの直行便だったのですが、14時間の長いフライトでした。おかげで映画を３本見ることができました。ちなみに、ドイツから日本に帰るときは中国上空を飛ぶルートだったのですが、ドイツに戻るフライトはアメリカ上空を飛ぶルートでした。つまり私はこの2回のフライトで地球をほぼ一周したことになります。
飛行機を降りた瞬間、ドイツの暑さに驚きました。ヨーロッパに熱波が来ているとは聞いてましたが、ここまで暑いとは想像していませんでした。事実、金曜日と土曜日は日本よりも気温が高く、日中は30度を超えていました。今週は気温が下がり、とても涼しくなりました。
もうドイツに帰って来てから1週間経つのですが、まだ時差ぼけがあるので、夜10時ごろにはとても眠くなって寝てしまいます。
みなさんは長時間のフライトの時、飛行機の中でどのように過ごしますか？
時差ぼけにならないためにしている対策はありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。


直行便：ちょっこうびん　direct flight
上空：じょうくう　the sky above~
