Peach I ate a peach, which my family bought at a supermarket, the other day. It was very tough like persimmon. The taste was not good, either. Probably the peach was not ripe enough to eat yet. Farmers seem to ship the fruits before the fruits become ripe completely so as not to become too ripe when the time they are in the supermarket. My family seems to happen to buy bad one unfortunately. I ate an another peach for my today's breakfast though, it was so good.

The movie I watched in obon vacation. Japan has obon vacation in the days in the middle of August. This season is the time that the war was over in the past in Japan. Because free campaign is under way on Yahoo, I could watch the movie, that I wanted to see, called ”Kono sekai no Katasumi ni" for free. This is the animation film about what it's like in Hiroshima prefecture during the war. My acquaintance, who is about 75 years old, said that this movie was pretty good and this work portrays the appearance of the life of people during war very well. This film portrayed the general people's life during the war in a matter-of-fact way. Because I'm not a person in that generation, I didn't know how exactly people were living every day during the war though, I feel like I was able to know a little more about how people lived during the war through this film.

The story that I can read the book a little written in English. These days I started to try to read " Anne of Green Gables". Actually I don't have experience to read English book very much. I tried to read Pooh Winnie-the-Pooh before though, I gave up to read it because it was difficult for me. I was a little sad. This book " Anne of Green Gables" is the book I try to read for my second time. Because my book is meant to an English learner and probabry the sentence would be different from original article, it is written in plain and simple words. So, compared to the time I read Pooh Winnie-the-pooh, I can understand the sentence more. It was fun. It might be a little difficult for me now to read Harry Potter though, I want to try to read it as well someday.

Special tube cake My mother's co-worker sometimes makes tube cake and give it to our family. The tube cake is super delicious. When I put the cake into my mouth, it melt soon. Unfortunately the mother's coworker doesn't notice her great skill by herself. Her skill is like she should open tube cake shop immediately. If I go out for eating, it seems to difficult to eat tube cake like this. I am always looking forward to eating her tube cake.

Organic vegetable There are an 70's woman who alway give our family organic vegetables. I heard she love growing a lot of vegetables and have too good a time growing vegetables. It is not easy for us to get organic vegetable in Japan. So Her vegetable is very helpful. I would really appreciate her organic vegetables.

About grammar I think probably other languages are same though, native speakers speak their languages involuntarily without thinking about grammar. It was not until I start to teach Japanese that I come to think about Japanese grammar more deeply that I didn't notice before. There are a lot of discoveries while I teach languages. Because the grammar for Japanese person and the grammar for those who study Japanese is a little different, and I often try to search the word that I don't usually search by using dictionary. おそらく他の言葉も一緒だと思いますが、ネイティブスピーカーは 文法のことなど考えずに無意識に話していると思います。 日本語を教えるようになって、以前は気づきもしなかった日本語の文法のことを 深く考えるようになりました。 言葉を教えていると、たくさんの発見があります。 日本人のための日本語文法と日本語を学んでいる方のための日本語文法は少し違うし、 普段、辞書で調べたりしない日本語の単語を調べてみたりすることがあるからです。

The fireworks display There was a big fireworks display at our place today. I see the fireworks with my nephew from my house though, it was so big and fantastic. The night that the big fireworks display hold is hot and humid every year, but somehow it was cool and blew comfortable wind this year. So we enjoyed the fireworks display very much. 今日は、僕たちの住んでいるところで花火大会がありました。 僕は甥っ子と家から花火を見たのですが、とても大きくて、素敵な花火でした。 毎年、花火大会が開催される夜は蒸し暑いのですが、今年はなぜか涼しくて心地よい風が吹いていました。 そのため、僕たちは花火大会をすごく楽しむことができました。

Practicing new word (Occur) I learned new words, so I'd like to practice by using them. ☆Occur （１） It seems that I lost my house's key. I searched the key in my house all the day. But I couldn't find it. I wonder where it's gone. Then my daughter came back from school and said that I should look for under the table carefully. There was the key! It was exactly as she said. It didn't occur to me to look for under the table. It was really good that I could find the key. （２） A car accident occurred in front of bank. （３） It occurred to me that this idea might be wrong. Japanese translation （１） 家の鍵をなくしてしまったようだ。一日中家の中を探し回ったのだけど、見つからない。どこへいってしまったのだろう。 そうしたら、私の娘が学校から帰ってきて、テーブルの下を注意して探すように言った。 娘の言ったとおり、テーブルの下に鍵があった。 テーブルの下を探すなんて思いつかなかった。とにかく鍵を見つけることができて良かった。 （２）交通事故が銀行の前で起こった。 （３）この考えは間違っているかもしれないとふと思った。

About bee The other day, a big bee flied in front of me while I was basking in the sun. I was very surprised because it was a big bee like a hornet. I get no idea if a lot of flowers are planted in our house's garden, I often saw bees in our garden from old times though, I think that the most was smaller bee. But lately I can rarely see honey bees and can see relatively big wasp instead. I have read the article that honey bee get disappeared all over the world. It is said that one of the reason might be certain specific agrochemical. I wonder if the reason I can't see honey bee very much in my garden is that. To be honest, I am not good with bees though, I think honey bee is precious thing because they help raising crop. Japanese translation. 先日、日光浴をしていたら、一匹の大きな蜂が私の前へ飛んできました。 スズメバチのようなかなり大きな蜂だったため、とてもびっくりしました。 私の家の庭には、たくさんの花が植えられているからなのか、昔から庭で蜂をよく見かけました。 でも、昔は小さな蜂がほとんどだったような気がします。 最近は、ミツバチの姿をほとんど見かけることはなく、比較的大きな蜂ばかり見ている気がします。 世界中でミツバチが消えてしまう現象が起こっているという記事を読んだことがあります。 その原因の一つが、ある特定の農薬にあるかもしれないとのことでした。 私の庭でミツバチを見かけないのも、それが原因でしょうか。 正直、私は蜂が苦手なのですが、ミツバチは作物を作るのを助けてくれるので、とても大切な存在だと思います。
