        在前面我们介绍的二十四节气中，现在处于立夏和小满之间，就是农谚所说的：“立夏之后是小满”。 立夏表示春天结束、夏天开始了。这个时节气温将明显增高，雷雨增多，庄稼进入生长旺期。民间有很多应节的活动。

"A person who’s really inspired me to do something is actually my uncle Dave, who started his own tech company about 5 years ago.He’s now turned it into a highly successful company, employing over 50 people today, which I think is a very inspirational story.

 I’ve always had an interest in anything related to technology, especially computers, and my uncle both inspired and motivated me to make the decision to study computer science in college.

I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and was at my wits end trying to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. However, after getting some inspirational advice from my uncle Dave, I decided to follow in his footsteps, and study computer programming. 

The main reason I find him such an inspiration is that he started this business from scratch, while still only in his early twenties, and within only 3 years turned it into the success it is today. I watched him when he first started in this business, and how he poured his heart and soul into it ,to get the business going, and I’m always so inspired by the way he literally eat’s, sleeps and breathes the business .

 Even though his business has grown so much, he still never  sits back, and keeps working hard to keep growing and expanding the business,and always goes the extra mile, which is something that really motivates, and inspires me to keep studying hard. 

 
Thank you….."

秋（あき）と言（い）えば・・・

皆（みな）さんは春夏秋冬（しゅんかしゅうとう）、どの季節（きせつ）が好（す）きですか？
私は夏（なつ）が１番（いちばん）好きで、２番目（にばんめ）に好きなのが秋です。
ここ数年（すうねん）、秋を感（かん）じられることが少（すく）なかったですが、今年（ことし）はちょうどよい気温（きおん）が続（つづ）いており、秋を長（なが）く感じられます。

秋は過（す）ごしやすい気温なので、「〇〇（まるまる）の秋」という言葉（ことば）をよく耳（みみ）にします。
「紅葉（こうよう）の秋」、「食欲（しょくよく）の秋」、「スポーツの秋」など秋になると、暑（あつ）すぎる夏にはできなかったことをしたくなる日本人（にほんじん）の国民性（こくみんせい）があるようです。私は今年「読書（どくしょ）の秋」にしました。最近（さいきん）アニメ「キングダム」や中国（ちゅうごく）の時代劇（じだいげき）を見（み）るのにハマっているので、中国の歴史（れきし）の本（ほん）を読（よ）んでいます。今年の秋は充実（じゅうじつ）しています。

あなたはどんな「秋」にしたいですか？
