<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 最近<span style="color: blue;">ノンアルコールビール</span>を楽しんでいます。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">このノンアルコールビール、<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">製造している</span></span>のはビール会社ですが、「ノンアルコール」というくらいですから、もちろんアルコールは入っていません。ビールを<span style="color: blue;">製造する過程</span>でアルコールを抜くのだそうです。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">夕食後に車の運転をしなければならない<span style="color: blue;">事情</span>があって、<span style="color: blue;">仕方なく</span>飲み始めたのですが、冷たいうちはほとんどビールとかわりがなく、<span style="color: blue;">結構</span>満足しています。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">しかし、<span style="color: blue;">温まる</span>とビールとの<span style="color: blue;">味</span>の<span style="color: blue;">違い</span>がはっきり出てきますので、とにかく冷たいうちに飲むようにしています。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">ですから<span style="color: blue;">冷蔵庫</span>から出したらできるだけはやく<span style="color: blue;">飲み干せ</span>るように<span style="color: blue;">500ミリ</span>缶は買わず<span style="color: blue;">専ら</span>350ミリ缶を買っています。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">ビールメーカー</span>もこの点は十分考えているらしく、9月に入ってからは、500ミリ缶が<span style="color: blue;">スーパーやコンビ二の店頭</span>から消え、 350ミリ缶だけになりました。<br /><br />さて、このノンアルコールビール、ビールの売上げが<span style="color: blue;">苦戦して</span>いる中で、<span style="color: blue;">着実に売上げを伸ばして</span>おり、ビールメーカーにとっては<span style="color: blue;">救世主</span>的存在になっているようです。<br /><br />いくら飲んでも<span style="color: blue;">ほろ酔</span>気分になれないのが<span style="color: blue;">欠点</span>ですが、皆さんも一度お<span style="color: blue;">試し</span>になってはいかがでしょうか。</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Recently, I've found myself enjoying non-alcohol beer. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This non-alcohol beer has been named "Non-Alcohol"by the beer company that manufactures it, so obviously it hasn't got a drop of alcohol in it. Apparently the alcohol is removed during the manufacturing process. I had to drive my car after a dinner out on one occassion, so I had no choice at the time and started to drink it but then found that when its cold it is almost no different to ordinary beer and I was quite satisfied. But when it warms up, the fact that it tastes quite different from beer becomes clear, so I make sure that I drink it while cold. To make sure that I can drink it all down quickly once I've taken it out of the refridgerator, I prefer to buy the 350 milimeter cans and not the 500 milimeter cans. It looks like the beer companies have cottoned onto this point as well, so from September the 500 milimeter cans have disappeared from the supermarlet stores and only the 350 milimeter cans are available now. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />In the tough and competitive climate of beer sales, non-alcohol beer sales have been steadily boosting sales and have come to be somewhat of a lifeline product for many beer makers. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No matter how much you drink, you never get even mildly drunk ; is one of the product's weak points, but if you do get the chance, why not try to drink some non-alcohol beer ?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;"> 皆さんは「みりん</span>を知っていますか。「みりん<span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">とは日本料理でよく使われるアルコール</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">調味料</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">のことです。</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">イギリスでも大きな町では日本スーパーや中国スーパーでみりんを買うことができますが、私が住んでいる小さな町ではみりんを買うことができませんでした。しかし、</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">先日</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">近所の</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">大型</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">チェーンのスーパーへ行ったら、なんとみりんが売っていました。嬉しくて</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">思わず</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">買ってしまいました。</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS PGothic; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;"> みりんには「本みりん」と「みりん風調味料」があるのですが、2つの違いは何でしょうか。「本みりん」と「みりん風調味料」の</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">主な</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">違いはアルコールの量です。「本みりん」はアルコール分約</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic, serif;">14</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">%、「みりん風調味料」はアルコール分</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic, serif;">1</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">%未満です。私が買ったみりんはアルコール分</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic, serif;">14</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">%と書いてあったので、「本みりん」のようです。</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS PGothic; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;"> </span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">一般に</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">「みりん風調味料」は「本みりん」より安いです。それは「みりん風調味料」のアルコール分は低いため、</span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">酒税</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">がかかっていないからです。私はみりんをそのまま飲んだことはないのですが、</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic, serif;">16</span></span><span style="color: #0070c0;"><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">世紀</span></span><span style="font-family: MS PGothic;">頃には女性やお酒があまり飲めない人はみりんを甘いお酒として飲んでいたそうです。</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS PGothic; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS PGothic; font-size: large;">私にとって、みりんは醤油と同じように料理に使う調味料の一つなので、お酒として飲むのはちょっと怖い気がします。皆さんも勇気があったらみりんを料理に使うだけではなく、そのまま飲んでみてください。</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do you
know “Mirin”? “Mirin” is an alcohol condiment which is often
used for Japanese cuisine. Although I can buy Mirin in a Japanese
supermarket or Chinese supermarket in a big city in UK, I could not
buy it in a small town where I live. However, the other day, when I
went to a big chain supermarket, surprisingly they sold Mirin. I was
glad, and bought it spontaneously.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=431488099544418089" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There
are “Hon-Mirin(genuine Mirin)” and “Mirin-style condiment”.
What is the difference between these two? The main difference between
“Hon-Mirin” and “Mirin-style condiment” is the amount of
alcohol. “Hon-Mirin” has about 14% of alcohol, and “Mirin-style
condiment” has less than 1% of alcohol. As for the Mirin I bought,
since it has 14% alcohol written on it, it seems it is Hon-Mirin.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Generally,
“Mirin-style condiment” is cheaper than “Hon-Mirin”. It is
because “Mirin-style condiment” has low alcohol, and is not
charged with a liquor tax. Although I have never drunken Mirin as it
is, it is said that around the 16th century, women and people who
could not drink a lot of alcohol used to drink Mirin.
</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mirin is
one of the condiments that I use just like soy source, I feel scared
of drinking Mirin as an alcohol. If you are brave, don't just use
Mirin for cooking but try to drink it as it is as well.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">もう朝夕は涼しくなり、秋の<span style="color: #0070c0;">訪れ</span>を感じますが、まだまだ昼間は<span style="color: #0070c0;">残暑</span>が厳しいですね。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">私の住んでいる福岡では、今年の夏は本当に暑かったです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">暑い夏に食べたくなるのは、やはり「<span style="color: #0070c0;">かき氷</span>」。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">子どもの頃は<span style="color: #0070c0;">かき氷機</span>でかき氷を作って、<span style="color: #0070c0;">どぎつい色</span>の<span style="color: #0070c0;">シロップ</span>をかけてよく食べたものです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">今は<span style="color: #0070c0;">電動の</span>ものもありますが、昔の<span style="color: #0070c0;">かき氷機</span>は<span style="color: #0070c0;">ハンドル</span>を手で<span style="color: #0070c0;">回す手動</span>のものでした。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ちょっと大変でしたが、ハンドルを<span style="color: #0070c0;">回す</span>たびにパンダの目が<span style="color: #0070c0;">くるくる回り</span>、楽しかったですよ。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">大人になってからは家で作って食べることはなくなりましたが、時々かき氷のお店に行きます。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">夏になると、「氷」と書かれた「氷のれん」をかけているお店が<span style="color: #0070c0;">目につく</span>ようになります。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">このお店でかき氷が食べられるんです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ここ福岡で一番人気なのは、「コバルトアイス」。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">かき氷なのに、なぜか「アイス」という名前がついているかき氷ですが、<span style="color: #0070c0;">きめ</span>が<span style="color: #0070c0;">細かく</span>てとても<span style="color: #0070c0;">口当たりが良く</span>、長年愛されているかき氷です。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">他にも、台湾から来たという<span style="color: #0070c0;">ふんわりとして</span>マイルドなかき氷、生の果物を<span style="color: #0070c0;">凍らせて</span>作ったかき氷などなど、<span style="color: #0070c0;">個性豊かな</span>かき氷がたくさん<span style="color: #0070c0;">登場します</span>。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">だいたい9月末まで食べられますので、それまでに日本に来ることがあったら、ぜひ食べてみてください。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;">残暑</span><span style="font-size: large;">も<span style="color: #0070c0;">吹っ飛びます</span>よ。</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">大人(おとな)になってからは家(いえ)で作(つく)って食べることはなくなりましたが、時々(ときどき)かき氷のお店(みせ)に行きます。</span></div>

Shaved Ice </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
evenings and mornings are beginning to get cooler, as we feel Autumn
coming around, but the lingering summer heat in the afternoons is
still quite harsh. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here
in Fukuoka where I live, the summer this year was really hot. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And
during the hot summers the one thing I really like to eat is of
course Kaki Gori ( Shaved Ice with syrup) . </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When
I was a kid I often used to make Kaki Gori with a machine, cover it
with bright colored syrup and and eat it. There are electrical ones
now as well, but in the old days, the Kaki Gori machines were manual
and used to be have a handle which you would turn by hand . It was a
little difficult but everytime you turned the handle there was a
panda whose eyes would roll with each turn so it was fun. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After
becoming an adult, I have stopped making Kaki Gori at home, but
sometimes I go out to a Kaki Gori shop . </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When
summer comes around, shops that have Noren ( sign curtains hung at
the shop entrance) which have the Kanji for ice (Kouri </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ja-JP">氷
</span>)
written on them catch my eye. You can get Kaki Gori at these shops. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
Fukuoka, the most popular one is Cobalt ice cream </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="ja-JP">「コバルトアイス」</span>.
Even though it is Kaki Gori, for some reason they named it ice cream,
but with its fine texture it feels great in your mouth, so it has
been a long-selling favorite here. There are other types too, there
is a fluffy and mild shaved ice which is made from frozen raw fruits
which comes from Taiwan and many other Kaki Gori appearing that are
full of unique flavors.</span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We usually eat this treat until the end of
September, so if you have a chance to travel to Japan before then,
please come and try it. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lingering summer heat gets blown away by this
treat too. </span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">9月17日は<span style="color: blue;">国民の祝日</span>の一つ、<span style="color: blue;">「敬老の日</span>」です。<span style="color: blue;">以前</span>は9月15日が敬老の日でしたが、<span style="color: blue;">法律の改正によって</span>、2003年から9月<span style="color: blue;">第3</span>月曜日へ<span style="color: blue;">移動</span>となりました。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />この敬老の日、「<span style="color: blue;">老人</span>を<span style="color: blue;">敬い長寿</span>を<span style="color: blue;">祝う</span>」という<span style="color: blue;">主旨</span>で<span style="color: blue;">制定された</span>そうですが、毎年敬老の日が<span style="color: blue;">近付いてくる</span>と、私は「老人や<span style="color: blue;">お年寄り</span>というのは<span style="color: blue;">いったい</span>何歳からなのだろうか」ということを考えてしまいます。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />日本では<span style="color: blue;">現在</span>、<span style="color: blue;">老齢年金</span>がもらえる<span style="color: blue;">年齢</span>は65歳からとなっていて、65歳が「お年寄り」の一つの<span style="color: blue;">目安</span>になっていますが、<span style="color: blue;">一般</span>の<span style="color: blue;">調査</span>では70歳以上を<span style="color: blue;">高齢者</span>と考えている人が多いようです。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">実際</span>、今の<span style="color: blue;">60代</span>は健康で元気な方が多く、「お年寄り」と呼ぶには<span style="color: blue;">申し訳ない</span>感じです。「敬老の日」にお祝いするということは、「あなたは老人だ」と言っているのと同じような気がして、失礼ではないのかと思ってしまうのです。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: blue;">我が家<span style="color: black;">には</span></span>2人の子供がおり、彼らにとって<span style="color: blue;">身近</span>なお年寄りといえばもちろん「おばあちゃん」なのですが、うちのおばあちゃんは今年で67歳。敬老の日をお祝いしていいものかどうか、<span style="color: blue;">微妙</span>なお歳なのです。<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 25px;">★If you want to listen to this blog</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; line-height: 25px;">Please watch our video.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The 17th of September is one of the National Holidays in Japan and is known as “Keiro no Hi” (Respect for the Aged Day). In the past September 15th used to be “Keiro no Hi” but due to a revision of the law, since 2003 the day was moved to the 3rd Monday in September.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The point of “Keiro no Hi” was allegedly established as 'a day to respect the aged and celebrate longevity', but each year as “Keiro no Hi” draws near I find myself thinking and asking myself, “At what age exactly does one become aged or elderly ?”</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Currently in Japan, the age at which you are eligible to receive an old age pension is 65 years old, so this has become one standard of measurement, yet in a popular opinion poll most people regarded the definition of an aged person as being someone over the age of 70 years old. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> In truth, many people in their 60s are healthy and active I'd feel sorry to call them aged. If I were to celebrate “Keiro no Hi” for them, it would amount to saying that, “You are old” which would be rude; so I find myself thinking. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> There are two children in our family, and for them the closest old people would be their grandma of course, however our family's grandmother is 67 years old this year. Its a difficult age to decide whether to celebrate “Keiro no Hi” or not. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">皆さんはビーチコーミングを知っていますか?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ビーチコーミングとは海岸の<span style="color: #0070c0;"><b>漂着物</b></span>を拾い集める趣味のことです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">海岸などを歩きまわり、興味のあるものをコレクションしたり、どこからきたのかを調べたり、</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;"><b>加工して</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">雑貨をつくったり、人によって様々なやり方があります。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">貝殻やサンゴはもちろん、流木、海を転がっているうちに形の変わってしまった石や</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ガラスのかけら、どこの国から流れてきたのかわからない<span style="color: #0070c0;"><b>謎の</b></span><span style="color: #00000a;">もの</span>など海岸には<span style="color: #0070c0;"><b>お宝</b></span>がいっぱいです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">興味あるものを拾い集めるだけではなく、海岸をきれいにするために、ゴミを拾いながら行うことで、</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">清掃イベントとして取り組んでいる地域もあります。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-size: large;">これから9月。日本は台風の季節です。台風が去ったあと、海岸にいってみると。。。</span></div>

you know what beachcombing is ?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Beachcombing
is the hobby of picking up and collecting objects that have washed in
with the tide. It involves walking along the shore, making a
collection of any things of interest that are found, researching
where they originally came from, making decorations or objects with
them : there are various ways of doing it, depending on the person.
There are shells and coral to be found of course , as well as
driftwood and pieces of glass or rock that have taken on strange
shapes as they rolled around in the oceans ; there are a host of
treasures to be found on the beachline with mysterious countries of
origin. </span></span>

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Its
not only about picking up interesting objects, it also involves
cleaning up the beaches by picking up garbage as well ; in some local
areas there are cleaning events tied in with beachcombing. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
September in Japan, this is the season of typhoons. When you take a
look at the beaches after a typhoon has gone past... there are
various objects to be found lying around. How about going and looking
for your very own piece of treasure ? </span></span>

<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When
I was a child, my playground was the road running between the rice
fields (tanbo michi). </span>
</div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A
long time ago, a place that was once a lake was a drained and in its
place, a rice field was cultivated ; this is my town. </span>
</div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
whole town is almost completely all rice fields now. </span>
</div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
road that runs between these rice fields is the 「tanbo
michi」 where I would
play at finding small flowers, four leaf clovers and small animals. </span>
</div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
still often take walks along this road.</span></div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And
I find flowers, four leaf clovers and look for hidden frogs and
grasshoppers...</span></div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just
like when I was a child.</span></div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Time
passes slowly here and I can feel rejuvenated. </span>

<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do
you have any roads that haven't been paved around you ?</span></div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They
feel cooler than concrete ones, don't they ?</span></div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Its
still hot here in Japan, but the rice fields have changed to their
autumn colors.</span></div>
<div lang="ja-JP" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They
have changed from green to gold-colored; its the reaping season now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">私の</span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック;">永遠</span></span><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">の課題、それはダイエットです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック, serif;">DVD</span></span><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">を買って運動したり、ウォーキングをしたり、</span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック;">炭水化物</span></span><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">を抜いてみたり、いろいろやってみるのですが、どれも長続きしません。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">そんな私がまた新しいものに手を出しました。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">バランスボールです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">パソコンで仕事をしている間、椅子のかわりにバランスボールに座るのです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">インターネットで調べてみると、いいと言う人もいれば、良くないという人もいました。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">いまのところ私がいいと思うのは、</span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック;">姿勢</span></span><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">が良くなることと、長い時間座ってもお尻が痛くないことです。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">ダイエットに</span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック;">効果</span></span><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">があるかどうかはまだわかりませんが、しばらく使ってみます。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">驚くような</span><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック;">変化</span></span><span style="font-family: MS Pゴシック; font-size: large;">があるといいのですが、さて、どうでしょう。</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I
have an eternal problem... it's dieting.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've
bought exercise DVDs, tried walking, cutting out the carbs, I've
tried a lot of different things, but I just can't seem to continue
any of them for long. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And
now I, even with this character, have gone and bought myself another
new diet gadget.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Its
a balance ball this time.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When
I am working on the computer, instead of sitting on a chair, I sit
on my balance ball. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
looked it up on the Net and it seems that there are some people who
say that its really good for you and there are people who say its
not. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Right
now, I think its really good – it helps to give you good posture
and when you sit down for a long time your bottom doesn't hurt. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
don't know if its effective as a diet method, but I'll keep it up for
a while and see. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
am hope that I am in for a pleasant surprise from the change it
brings about , but you never know.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> みなさんは一人でレストランに入ったり、カラオケに行ったりすることができますか。私はレストランや喫茶店は一人でも<span style="color: blue;">平気</span>ですが、遊園地やカラオケなど<span style="color: blue;">大勢</span>で楽しむイメージがある場所では、少し<span style="color: blue;">抵抗</span>を感じてしまいます。入り口で「何名様ですか」と質問されて、「一人です」と答えるのが恥ずかしいからです。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /> そんな人のために「ひとりカラオケ(ひとカラ)」の<span style="color: blue;">専門店</span>がオープンしました。お客さんはもちろん一人で歌いに来た人ばかり、店員も決して「何名様ですか」と聞くことはありません。</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">電話ボックス</span>を横に2つ並べたくらいの小さな部屋の中に、机と椅子と小さな<span style="color: blue;">スクリーン</span>、そしてプロが使うような<span style="color: blue;">立派</span>なマイクが置いてあります。そこでヘッドホンをして、音楽を聞きながら歌います。自分が歌っている間に、次の曲を選ばなければならないので忙しく、休む<span style="color: blue;">暇</span>もありません。</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> ひとりで1時間歌ってみましたが、<span style="color: blue;">なんだか</span>とても疲れてしまいました。<span style="color: blue;">廊下</span>からほかの部屋をちょっと<span style="color: blue;">のぞいて</span>みると、ほとんど<span style="color: blue;">満室</span>で、それぞれ楽しそうに歌っていました。やっぱり私は友達や家族と一緒に来たいなあ・・・</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can
you go to restaurants or karaoke bars by yourself ? I don't mind
going to coffee shops or restaurants alone, but I am unwilling to go
to places which have an image of many people enjoying themselves,
like karaoke bars or amusement parks. That's because at the entrance
gate, when I am asked “How many people in your group?” I am
embarrassed to answer, “One.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For
people like this, a new type of specialty shop has opened called
'Hitori Karaoke' or 'HitoKara' for short. The customers are all
people who have come to sing karaoke by themselves, so the staff
never ask, “How many people in your group ?”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
room is about the size of two telephone booths side by side and in it
there's a desk, a chair, a small screen, and a very high quality
microphone similar to ones used by professional singers. You put on
some headphones, and sing along while listening to the music. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You
are quite busy searching for the next song while you are singing, so
there isn't much time to rest. I went and tried to sing on my own for
1 hour and found myself somehow feeling very tired afterward. I
peeped into the other rooms from the corridor and they were almost
all full and the singers in there seemed to be enjoying themselves.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But
I still felt that I would prefer to go with family or friends. </span>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In
Japan from the rainy season and during the summer period, department
stores and the like sell certain goods known as “Oshare Steteco”
and they are gaining in popularity. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Steteco
are a type of underwear that allow for breathability, they come down
below the knees, and are worn under trousers. They are an excellent
product that can be used all year; worn in summer to help soak up
sweat, and in winter for protection against the cold. They are
usually worn by middle-aged men, so the standard product's image is
white. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However,
a few years back 'Oshare Steteco' (oshare means fashionable) came out
and they were Steteco made with a high sense of fashion, and they
overturned the image that “Steteco are white underwear for
middle-aged men”. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
large variations in color and design of these 'Oshare Steteco' makes

<span style="font-size: large;">あと1週間もすると、4年に1度のオリンピックが始まります。<br />今回はイギリスのロンドンで<span style="color: blue;">開催</span>ですね。今から<span style="color: blue;">楽しみで仕方がありません。</span><br style="color: blue;" /><br />みなさんは、どの<span style="color: blue;">種目・競技</span>を楽しみにしていますか?<br /><br />私はどれも楽しみですが、特に、日本の<span style="color: blue;">お家芸</span>の柔道、体操、私が学生時代に<span style="color: blue;">夢中</span>だったバレーボールは、絶対<span style="color: blue;">観戦</span>したいなと思っています。<br /><br />私は、テレビでスポーツを観戦する時、なるべく<span style="color: blue;">生放送</span>で見るようにしています。<br />生放送だと結果が分からないので、<span style="color: blue;">ワクワク</span>&<span style="color: blue;">ドキドキ</span>しながら見る楽しさがあるからです。<span style="color: blue;">試合会場</span>にいるつもりで、<span style="color: blue;">選手</span>を<span style="color: blue;">応援</span>しています。<br /><br />今回も<span style="color: blue;">生放送</span>で見たいですが、イギリスと日本では<span style="color: blue;">時差</span>があって昼と夜が<span style="color: blue;">逆転</span>しています。なので、オリンピックが終わるまでは、<span style="color: blue;">寝不足</span>の毎日を<span style="color: blue;">覚悟</span>しないといけないですね。<br /><br />この<span style="color: blue;">暑い</span>夏、いよいよ<span style="color: blue;">熱い</span>戦いが始まります!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />The Olympics !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />In a week from now, the Olympics, which take place once every four years, will begin. This time around they are being held in London, England. I just can't wait for them to start !<br /><br />What events or games are you looking forward to watching ?<br />I am looking forward to all of the them, but in particular I definitely want to watch the Judo which is Japan's traditional speciality, as well as the gymnastics event, and the sport that I was really into during my school days, volleyball. <br /><br />Whenever I watch sports on TV, I always try to watch it live. When its live, you don't know the result so its really exciting to watch and it sets the heart racing. <br />I call out and support the athletes just as if I was actually at the game venue. <br /><br />I want to watch the games live this time around too, but there is a time difference between Japan and England - night and day are totally reversed. Therefore I'm resolved to the fact that until the Olympics are over, that I am going to have a lack of sleep everyday. <br /><br />Some heated battles are about to start during the heat of this year's summer !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">日本ではうなぎ</span><span style="font-size: large;">(eels)</span><span style="font-size: large;">がよく食べられ、うなぎ屋さんもたくさんあります。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">特に</span><span style="font-size: large;">7</span><span style="font-size: large;">月に、うなぎを食べる</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">習慣</span><span style="font-size: large;">があります。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">うなぎには</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">栄養がある</span><span style="font-size: large;">と言われています。夏はとても暑いので、元気になるためにうなぎを食べます。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">わたしは「ひつまぶし」が大好きです。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">「ひつまぶし」は名古屋の有名な料理で、「うなぎ</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">丼</span><span style="font-size: large;">」に</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">似ています</span><span style="font-size: large;">。うなぎを</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">細かく刻んで</span><span style="font-size: large;">、ごはん</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">に混ぜて</span><span style="font-size: large;">食べます。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">ねぎ</span><span style="font-size: large;">、のり、わさびと一緒に食べると、とてもおいしいです。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">でも、今、うなぎ屋さんがピンチです。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">うなぎの稚魚</span><span style="font-size: large;">(</span><span style="font-size: large;">こども</span><span style="font-size: large;">)</span><span style="font-size: large;">がとれないので、</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">養殖</span><span style="font-size: large;">できないのです。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">うなぎの値段も高くなっています。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">もしかしたら、うなぎ屋さんが少なくなるかもしれません。</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">わたしは</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">帰省</span><span style="font-size: large;">したとき、よく</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">実家</span><span style="font-size: large;">の近くのうなぎ屋さんへ行きます。今年の夏も、うなぎを食べることができるでしょうか</span><span style="font-size: large;">...</span><span style="font-size: large;">とても心配です!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">皆さんも日本や名古屋に来たら、</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">今のうちに</span><span style="font-size: large;">?!「うなぎ丼」や「ひつまぶし」をぜひ食べてみてください。</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">In
Japan, we eat "Unagi" (eels) very often, and there are many
Unagi restaurants. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have
a custom of eating Unagi, especially in July. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Unagi is
said to be nutritious. It’s very hot in summer, so we eat Unagi to
gain energy.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love
“Hitsumabushi”. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Hitsumabushi”
is famous cuisine in Nagoya city, which is similar to “Unagi don(a
bowl of eel on rice)”. Unagi is cut into dices and mixed into the
cooked rice. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">When you
eat Unagi with chinese onions, seaweed and wasabi, it tastes very
good. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Currently,
Unagi restaurants are in a pinch. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Due to a
poor catch of Unagi juveniles (glass eels), they cannot be raised in
farms. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
price of Unagi is getting higher, too. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is
a fear that the number of Unagi restaurants might decrease. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I
visit my home town, I often go to the Unagi restaurant near my
parents' house. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m
very worried about whether I will be able to eat Unagi this summer! </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">When
you visit Japan or Nagoya, please try “Unagi don” or
“Hitsumabushi” while it lasts!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">早いもので、もう7月になりました。7月に入ると、「もうすぐ夏休み」。子供のころは嬉しかったけど、今は、「子供のお昼ご飯をどうしよう」などと、考えてしまいます。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">夏休みといえば、「宿題」です。私が子供のころは、毎朝の<span style="color: blue;">ラジオ体操</span>に始まり、ドリル、<span style="color: blue;">自由研究、絵日記</span>など、たくさんの宿題がありました。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">我が家には小学2年の息子がいますが、去年の1年生の夏休みには、こんな宿題が出されました。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">・<span style="color: blue;">国語</span>と<span style="color: blue;">算数</span>のドリル</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">・<span style="color: blue;">朝顔の観察</span>(朝顔の花の数を毎日<span style="color: blue;">記録します</span>)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">・絵日記</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">・歯磨きカレンダー(歯磨きをしたかどうか、毎日記録します)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">・生活の記録(何時に起きたか、気分はどうか、食事をしたか、運動をしたか、テレビを見た時間など、1日の様子を毎日記録します)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">もちろん学校によって違いますが、日本の小学校では、だいたいこのような宿題が出されるところが多いようです。その他にも、学年が上がると、自由研究や<span style="color: blue;">工作</span>、<span style="color: blue;">読書感想文</span>なども出されます。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">国によっては、宿題がほとんどない国もあるのだとか。逆に、大量の宿題に苦労しているところもありそうですね。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">みなさんの国では、夏休みなどの<span style="color: blue;">長期休暇</span>に、どんな宿題が出されますか?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Japanese summer holiday homework </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Time really flies, its already July. When I was a kid, at the start of July, I used to feel glad and think, "Summer holiday is almost about to start !" but now I find myself thinking, "What am I going to make for the kids' lunch ?!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> And when you think of summer holiday, one inevitably thinks also of Shukudai (homework). When I was a child, every morning used to begin with gymnastic excercises and we used to have lots of homework ; homework drills, independent research and picture diaries etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In my family, our son is in elementary second grade, and last summer he was a first grader and this is what they were given as Shukudai (homework). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Japanese and mathematics drills</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Watch the Morning Glory flowers (count how many flowers you can see, and record it in your diary every morning)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Draw a daily picture dairy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tooth brushing calendar (write down whether you brushed your teeth or not everyday)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Daily life diary (What time did you get up? How do you feel today? What did you eat ? Did you get any exercise ? How many hours of TV did you watch ? - Write your daily routine down)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Of course it differs from school to school, but generally many Japanese elementary schools give out homework like this. And also as you go up a grade, you get things added to the list, like independent research, handicraft and book reports. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It depends on the country, but there are some countries where the kids get almost no homework at all and oppositely other countries where the kids suffer with huge amounts of homework to do. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In your country, what kind of Shukudai do you get during summer or other long holidays ?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Japanese plum preparation<br /><br /> June in Japan is the rainy season. The temperature and humidity rise, so it is a muggy season - but in supermarkets and other shops, goods for Ume Shigoto (Japanese plum preparation) are put out for sale. They are :- Ume (Japanese plum), glass bottles, salt crystal sugar and white liquor or shochu. And with these we can make Ume Boshi (pickled plums) Ume Shu (plum wine), Ume syrup and other similar things.<br /><br /> Every year, I make Ume Shu (plum wine). In the photo you can see the Ume Shu I made last year alongside the Ume Shu this year's Ume Shu. The darker colored one is the one I made last year with black sugar. Ume Shu is made mainly of Japanese plums (Ume) , crystal sugar and white liquor. After being pickled for about 3 months, it's complete but I prefer plum wine that has been left to pickle for over a year. This year I also gave Ume syrup making a try. I'm looking forward to see what it tastes like.<br /><br /> Ume is a healthy food for your body. It has a fatigue relieving effect so I think it's perfect for the heat of summer. But in the case of Ume Shu, take care not to drink too much of it !<br />If you get a chance, please try some Ume Shigoto </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />沖縄<span style="color: blue;">から</span>東北<span style="color: blue;">にかけて</span>、日本各地は今、「梅雨」の<span style="color: blue;">真っ只中</span>。長い雨の季節です。例年6月末~7月中旬に<span style="color: blue;">梅雨が明けると</span>、今度は熱帯<span style="color: blue;">並み</span>の猛暑がやってきます。特にコンクリートやアスファルトに囲まれた都会の町では、なかなか気温が下がりません。そこで最近流行っているのが「緑のカーテン[グリーンカーテン]」です。アサガオやゴーヤなどの<span style="color: blue;">つる植物</span>を窓辺や壁面に這わせて、自然のカーテンを作るのです。<br /><br />緑のカーテンは室内への日差しを<span style="color: blue;">和らげ</span>、室温の上昇を抑える効果があるので、エアコンの節電にもなると言われています。また、部屋の中から眺めると、緑の葉の間から<span style="color: blue;">こぼれる光</span>が美しく、<span style="color: blue;">見た目</span>も<span style="color: blue;">涼しげ</span>です。<br /><br />残念な<span style="color: blue;">ことに</span>、今年も私は緑のカーテンを<span style="color: blue;">作りそびれて</span>しまいましたが、近所の体育館に緑のカーテンが設置されました。小さかった苗が、だんだん伸びていく様子を見るのは、とても楽しいです。<span style="color: blue;">梅雨明け</span>の頃には素敵なカーテンになっていることでしょう。<br /><br />皆さんの身近なところにも、緑のカーテンがありますか。作ってみたいと思いますか。<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">★If you want to listen to this blog </span><br style="color: red;" /><span style="color: red;">Please watch our video.</span><br /> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Starting from Okinawa all the way up to Tohoku, the different areas of Japan are currently in the middle of the Tsuyu season. The Tsuyu is the long rains season. In an average year it starts from the beginning of June and ends in the middle of July. When the rainy season is over, next comes a tropics-like heatwave. And especially in urban towns which are surrounded by asphalt and concrete, the temperature is difficult to bring down. This is where the latest fad of Midori no Kaaten (Green Curtains) comes in. It is made by growing creepers on the side of walls or by the window and creating a natural curtain.<br /><br />This Midori no Kaaten softens the says of light coming into the room and is also effective in holding back the room temperature from rising too high, so it also contributes to electricity savings. Also looking out from inside the room, the streams of sunshine as seen through the green of the leaves are particularly beautiful and it look cool.<br /><br /><br />Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make a Midori no Kaaten this year, but the gymnasium in my neighborhood has one set up. Watching the little seedlings gradually grow long is really fun. By the time the rainy season is over, it will grow into a wonderful green curtain.<br /><br /><br />Do you have any Midori no Kaaten nearby ?<br /><br />Do you think you'd like to make one ?</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">みなさんは最近手紙を書きましたか。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">私は子どものとき、手紙を書くのが大好きで、</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">文通</span><span style="font-size: large;">相手</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">がたくさんいました。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">中学生や高校生のときは、毎日学校で顔を合わせている</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">にもかかわらず</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">、友だちと</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">交換日記</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">をしていましたし、とにかく書くことが好きだったのですが、大学生になって携帯電話を使い始めてから、次第に手紙を書かなくなりました。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">今では、手書きといえば年賀状や旅行に行った時に絵はがきを買って、家族にはがきを出すくらいになってしまいました。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">携帯電話やパソコンのメールはとても便利ですが、時々手書きが</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">恋しく</span><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">なります。</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">ですから、たまに手書きの手紙をもらうととてもうれしくなります。字は人によってそれぞれ違うので、字を見ると書いた人の顔が思い浮かんで楽しいです。</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Have
you written a letter recently ?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
used to love writing letters in my childhood and had a lot of
letter-exchange partners. In junior high and high school, despite the
fact that we met everyday, my friends and I would write an exchange
diary to each other - anyway I just loved writing... but when I
became a university student and started to use a cell phone, I
gradually stopped writing letters.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Now,
the only things I use handwriting for have become my annual New
Year's Cards and when I go on holiday and buy and send pictures
postcards to my family members. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Cell
phone texts and computer emails are really convenient but I miss
letters. So whenever I receive the odd rare handwritten letter, I
feel really glad. And because the written characters are all
different depending on the person, it is really fun to imagine the
writer's face when looking at their hand-written characters. </span></span></span>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In
Japan, most young children call themselves by their own names. They
call themselves in the same way as their parents call them, instead
of using "watashi" or "boku", like "Kenta
kore taberu" (meaning: I will eat this <i>or lit.Kenta will eat
this</i> ). Besides, it is not unusual that they say their names with
"chan" or "kun" attached. </span></span>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When
I told this to a person from an English-speaking country, he was
surprised, so I wondered why it is like this in Japan. My guess is
that because parents always ask like "Ayachan mo tabetai?"
(Do you also want to eat this? <i>Or lit. Does Aya chan also want to
eat this?</i>) without using the word "atana", children
learn to talk like "Un, Ayachan mo tabetai" (Yes, I also
want to eat it).</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Boys
gradually grow to use "ore" because it sounds strong and
cool. It is cute when little boys about 4 - 5 years old say "ore"
imitating older boys. Some boys say "boku". Girls grow to
use "watashi" and "atashi", and recently so many
girls say "uchi". But a few girls still call themselves by
their names even in high school.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">「<span style="color: blue;">愛でる」</span>というのは私の好きな言葉の一つです。「<span style="color: blue;">美しさ</span>を<span style="color: blue;">味わい感動する</span>」という意味ですが、私は月や花を愛でるのはもちろん「雨を愛でる」のが大好きです。もちろん<span style="color: blue;">お出かけ</span>の日に雨が降ると残念な気持ちになりますし、晴れた日より少し<span style="color: blue;">気分が暗くなる</span>こともあります。でも雨の時の<span style="color: blue;">独特な</span>空気の<span style="color: blue;">においをかいだり</span>、車の中に <span style="color: blue;">響く</span>雨の音を聞いたり、庭の木花の葉にあたる雨を見たりするのは、雨の時にしかできません。森や庭は雨の時<span style="color: blue;">どきっとする</span>ような美しい顔を見せることがあります。特に雨の日の<span style="color: blue;">苔</span>の<span style="color: blue;">色合い</span>、雨の音と<span style="color: blue;">しっとりとした</span>空気と苔の緑の<span style="color: blue;">調和</span>は<span style="color: blue;">格別</span>です。傘だってめんどうくさいといえばめんどうくさいのですが、でも雨の時にしか使えません。<span style="color: blue;">雨上がり</span>に見る<span style="color: blue;">虹</span>を見ると<span style="color: blue;">何となく</span>嬉しい気持ちになります。もうすぐ<span style="color: blue;">梅雨</span>です。「雨を愛でる」のが楽しみです。</span><br />

But smelling the unique scent in the air, listening to the sound of rain on the roof of the car, watching the rain dropping onto the leaves of the trees in th garden; all these things can only be done on rainy days. Forests and gardens show us such a beautiful side of themselves when it rains that it makes your heart just skip a beat. And the color tones of moss on rainy days - the perfect match of the sound of the rain, the humidity in the air and green of the moss is exceptional. </span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">You could say that umbrellas are a drag to carry around, but we only ever get to use them on rainy days, And I feel kind of happy when I see a rainbow after the rains have stopped.

<span style="font-size: large;">This is something that I once introduced in a class with one of our students.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Look at this graph below.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you see the hidden Kanji characters hidden in it ?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For example - </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Look at the red lines, the Kanji character for rice field ( ta – 田) is hidden in there.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next can you see the Kanji character for king is also hidden in there ( oh – 王) ?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are other characters too, the characters or up ( ue - 上 ), down ( shita - 下 ), soil (</span><span style="font-size: large;">tsuchi - 土 ), correct ( tadashii – 正しい) are hidden in the graph . </span></div>

Gatsu Byo – Japan's May sickness</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;">In
Japan, Golden Week is over now and once again the hustle and bustle
of everyday life is back. In this situation, people suffering from Go
Gatsu Byou appear one after another. Do you know what Go Gatsu Byou
is ? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;">Go
Gatsu Byou (or May sickness) is the feeling of somewhat depression
and lack of motivation that confounds many freshmen or first year
students at schools and new recruits at companies who had began life
in a new environment at the beginning of April. It often appears
after a long holiday like Golden Week and after environments have
been changed suddenly. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;">During
the month of April, people try their best to get used to their new
environments, but after a month goes by people gradually start to get
used to things, and their fatigue takes the form of stress. And there
are also people find themselves disappointed with the gap between
their cherished ideals and their present reality.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; font-size: large;">And
what kind of people are most susceptible to this condition ? You
perfectionists, precise people and serious-minded people beware !
What methods do you use to relieve stress ? Please try to find your
own ways to reduce your daily stress levels in order to avoid getting
Go Gatsu Byou. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">日本では、5月3日から5月6日まで(早い人は4月29日から5月6日まで)ゴールデンウィークという<span style="color: blue;">連休</span>でした。日本に住んでいる皆さんはどんなゴールデンウィークを過ごしましたか?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 私は、今年も<span style="color: blue;">前もって</span>予定は立てず、その日の<span style="color: blue;">思いつき</span>で宮崎県の飫肥(おび)という町に<span style="color: blue;">日帰り旅行</span>をしました。<br /> ここは江戸時代のお城や武家屋敷が立ち並ぶ<span style="color: blue;">風情ある</span>町で、「九州の小京都」とも呼ばれています。私はこの町を3時間ぐらいぶらぶらと散歩しました。</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pKHcLLQ9CpE/T67mphJgvHI/AAAAAAAAAh4/gjT5rjSZXY4/s1600/201204301500000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pKHcLLQ9CpE/T67mphJgvHI/AAAAAAAAAh4/gjT5rjSZXY4/s1600/201204301500000.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">その散歩の途中で、『幸せ杉』というパワースポットを見つけました。4本の杉があって、この杉の真ん中に立つと幸せになれるそうです。もちろん私はそこに立ち、しっかりと『幸せパワー』をいただきました。</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">それから、団子屋さんに寄って、おいしい団子を食べました。</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> In Japan we have a long vacation from May 3rd until May 6th (or for earlier people from April 29th to May 6th) which is called Golden Week. For those of you living in Japan, how was your Golden Week ?</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> This year I didn't make any plans in advance but, on the day's spur of the moment, I decided to take a day trip to a town called Obi in Miyazaki prefecture.</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> It is an atmospheric town with an Edo era castle and are some traditional samurai residences lined up (along the streets), so that it is also known as the "the little Kyoto of Kyushu". I perused and took a walk around this town for about 3 hours. And on the walk I came across a "power spot" called the 'Shiawase Sugi' . There were four Sugi (or Japanese cedar) trees and apparently if you stand in the middle of these trees you can become happy. After that I stopped over at a 'Dango' (Japanese sweets) shop and ate some delicious 'Dango'.</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Despite it being an unplanned day trip, the fact that I arrived at an unexpected power spot and got to eat some delicious Dango was really fun.</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm already thinking about the next thing - "What should I do for the Summer holiday ?".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">日本では 5月5日は「こどもの日」で、<span style="color: blue;">祝日</span>です。<br />昔は「<span style="color: blue;">端午の節句</span>」と言われ、男の子が<span style="color: blue;">健康</span>で元気に<span style="color: blue;">育つ</span>ことを<span style="color: blue;">お祈り</span>する日でしたが、今では男の子・女の子の<span style="color: blue;">区別</span>はなくなり、「子どもの日」となりました。<br />この「子どもの日」に、男の子のいる<span style="color: blue;">家庭</span>では、庭に木の<span style="color: blue;">棒</span>を立て、「鯉のぼり」を<span style="color: blue;">揚げます</span>。これは男の子が生まれたことを知らせるための「<span style="color: blue;">のぼり</span>」です。なぜ魚の「<span style="color: blue;">鯉</span>」の形なのか?というと、中国の<span style="color: blue;">伝説</span>で、鯉が「龍門」という<span style="color: blue;">急流</span>の川をのぼると<span style="color: blue;">龍</span>になって<span style="color: blue;">天</span>へ登る、つまり「<span style="color: blue;">出世</span>」することの<span style="color: blue;">象徴</span>が「鯉」なのだそうです。<br />「屋根より高い鯉のぼり・・・」という歌がありますが、最近はそれをあまり見かけなくなりました。家が狭かったり、マンションには庭がなかったりするので、ベランダ<span style="color: blue;">用</span>や<span style="color: blue;">玄関</span>用といった小さな物もあるようです。少し寂しいですね。<br /><br />あなたの国では子どもの健康を祈るためにどんなことをしますか。<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_FMi5nWcFk" target="_blank">「鯉のぼり」の歌(Click here)</a> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">May 5th in Japan is a national holiday known as Children's day.</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the past it used to be known as Boy's Day, a day on which people would pray for their boys to be raised in good health and spirit, but today it is for both girls and boys without distinction, and has come to be known as Children's Day. </span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">On this Children's Day, in families with sons , they put up poles up in their gardens and raise "Koi Nobori". This "Nobori" or banner is a sign to show that a son has been born. Why is the banner made in the shape of a "Koi" or carp ? According to Chinese legend, when carp swim up against the swift currents of a river, they would would turn into dragons and rise up to the heavens, in other words this the carp was a symbol of success. </span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">There is a song which goes, "Yane yori takai Koi Nobori..." (carp streamers taller than the house's roof...), but recently you hardly ever see this sight. Houses have become smaller, and condominiums do not have gardens - there are some small "Kou Nobori" made for the verandah or entrance hall.

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"> In large temples, there are facilities where one can stay which are called "Shukubo". Travel tours in which you can stay in these "Shukubo" are gaining popularity of late. <br /><br />Old couples, young couples, foreigners, ladies traveling alone, people who have held the deep hopes that "I want to take my time to view the Japanese gardens. I want to eat real Sho Jin Ryouri (Buddhist monk vegetarian cuisine). I want to listen to a sermon by a chief priest. I want to try meditation in the lotus position..." these people are among those who come to stay in the Shukubo. <br /><br />There are temples where one can try Zen meditation of course as well make hand-written copies of Sutras, and temples where chef monks come to teach travellers how to cook Sho Jin Ryouri and where they read out Sutras out loud in tunes which are known as Sho Myo. There are various services on offer. <br /><br />I have an image of what I want if I was to stay at a Shukubo.<br /> Of course I would be travelling alone <br />I would have to study up about the temple I was planning to stay at before going.<br />I would want to go during a season when its empty, because I'd like to talk to the chief priest.<br />I'd like to try some Zen meditation.<br />I wonder if they'd let someone as lazy as I am stay over.<br /><br />Has anyone stayed at a Shukubo before ? Please tell us how it was.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Japanese words 'nawa' and 'tsuna' . The left radical of both </span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">words is the kanji "thread" radical and in English both words are </span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">translated as 'rope'. The form and features of both are roughly the </span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">same but their purposes are considerably different. A 'nawa' is used in familiar jobs like farm work and in the tending of garden trees, whereas the 'tsuna' is often used is to bind luggage onto trucks, in tug of war games at school sports days, and for business and specialist uses.</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">'Nawa' is cut to a certain length and used and is often used and finished with only once, 'tsuna' however, is used over and over again. Since therefore, it's strength is not so necessary, nawa is often made of rice straw. On the other hand 'tsuna' needs to have strength, and in the past used to be made out of hemp but recently is mostly made out of synthetic fiber .</span><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><br style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Though in terms of use in everyday life they are somewhat detached from myself, both words are deeply familiar to me. In recent times the use of Katakana has been gaining a lot of momentum, I really hope that these words are not simply replaced by the Katakana ロープ.</span></span><br />
