今日も朝からバタバタ。朝5時半に起きて、息子と夫のお弁当を作り、朝ごはんを作り、そして、息子と夫が起きてきて、朝ごはんを食べる。6時半に息子と夫が家を出ていく。慌（あわ）てて、「いってらっしゃい」と送り出す。
それから、娘を6時半に起こして、朝ごはんを娘と一緒に食べる。7時から、娘は計算ドリルと漢字の勉強をする。そのあと、少しピアノの練習をして、8時10分に「いってらっしゃい」と娘を送り出す。娘が学校に行くのと同時に、私はジョギングに出かける。30分ぐらいジョギングをして、家に戻る。それから、洗濯物をして、家の片づけをして、今日のitalkiのスケジュールをチェックする。これが、私の日課。

I have a busy morning as usual today. I get up at 5.30 am to make lunch for my son and husband and cook breakfast. During my cooking, my son and husband get up and eat breakfast. They leave home at 6.30 am. So, I rush to send them off and say 'Itterashai 「いってらっしゃい」'.
After sending two men, I wake my daughter up at 6.30am and eat breakfast with her. From 7am, she studies calculation drills and kanji characters. After that, she practise the piano a little and send her off at 8.10am with a ''. 「いってらっしゃい」. As soon as she leaves for school, I go for a jog, which takes about half an hour, and return home. Then I do the laundry, tidy up the house and check today's schedule on italki. This is my daily routine.

「のぞみ」の日記

「のぞみ」の日記（「私の日課」）

“One city that I really find so interesting is Venice, which I think has to be one of the most amazing, and fascinating cities in the world. Venice is located in… I think….the north of Italy, on the coast,and is one of the most popular tourist destinations… not just in Italy but, anywhere in the world today.

 

Venice is known as the city of canals, and there are so many things Venice is famous for including its beautiful bridges, gondola rides, historical buildings…. interesting old streets…..Oh! and also the Venice carnival, which looks like so much fun.

 

I remember I first learned about Venice back when i was in high school, and we studied the Shakespeare play “The merchant of Venice……. I can still remember my English teacher showing us a short video showing all the sites of Venice……… I remember thinking…..wow! This has to be one of the most amazing cities i’ve ever seen, and decided this is a place i must visit in the future.

 

Venice with all of its magnificent….. historical buildings, ancient bridges and water really looks like no other city in the world today. It almost looks like something from a movie set, and it’s amazing to think that this is actually a real place, that still remains and looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago. I think that’s what really makes it so interesting in my mind.

 

There are no ugly modern or high rise buildings, which again just makes it such an interesting city compared to other popular tourist cities.

 

  I really think there are no other cities that can be compared to Venice, and it is truly a unique city, with more interesting and fascinating sites than you can imagine.”

 

Thank you……
