Today, I went to an Italian cafe near Shimokitazawa Station with my older sister. I like Italian food, so I was happy to go there. We ordered pizza and pasta. My favorite pizza is Margherita, and my favorite pasta is Bolognese. I really enjoyed the food. The pizza had cheese and tomato, and it was very tasty. The pasta was also delicious. I want to go to the cafe again because I liked the food and the atmosphere. After lunch, we went to karaoke. I like singing, and I often go to karaoke with my friends or family. My favorite artists are back number and Shota Shimizu. I like their songs, and I wanted to sing many of them today. However, I am not very good at singing yet. Sometimes I cannot sing the high notes well, and I want to improve. I would like to practice more and become a better singer. I had a good time with my sister today. We ate delicious food and enjoyed karaoke together. I hope we can go out together again soon.

Today is a national holiday, so I do not have to go to school. I am really happy because I have been busy with school and my part-time job recently. Having a day off gives me a chance to relax and take my mind off my usual schedule. I do not have to wake up early this morning, so I was able to sleep a little longer than usual. I think holidays are important because they give me time to recover from being tired. Recently, I have had many classes and a lot of shifts at my part-time job, so I have not had much free time. Today, I want to take it easy and enjoy my day without worrying too much about school or work. I might watch a movie, listen to music, or go somewhere if I feel like going outside. I also want to spend some time doing things that I normally do not have enough time for. Even though it is only one day, I think having a break can help me feel refreshed. I am happy that I can have a relaxing day today. After this holiday, I want to go back to school with more energy and continue working hard. I hope I can have more days like this in the future.

As a child, sites where you play flashgames, but since flash is not available anymore, it has changed a bit. Nowadays I just like football sites, and I do play Online Soccer Manager - I like that one.

We do have two actually. Soccer and cycling.

📈 **THE ENGLISH EXPERT'S CORNER** **How to sound like a financial market analyst!** Instead of saying: ❌ "The dollar went up a lot." Try: ✅ "The US dollar strengthened considerably." Or: ✅ "The dollar gained ground against emerging-market currencies." Instead of: ❌ "The stock market went down." Try: ✅ "Equity markets came under pressure." **Your challenge:** Upgrade this sentence: "Investors are worried because interest rates might go up." Try to write it as if you were reporting financial news on Bloomberg or CNBC. #FinancialEnglish #StockMarketEnglish #EnglishExpertCorner

For sure it will have more technology than it has now.

I do like hotels. I mean, at home you always have to do things and when travelling, is about seeing things, enjoy food, places.. and for once relax.
