The Olympic Games

The Winter Olympic Games are approaching. I'm looking forward to watch alpine skiing because I like skiing. Downhill skiing is the most favorite game. It's so exciting. I want to ski the Olympic downhill course someday. It would be very hard but it would be fun.

High School Soccer

I watched High School soccer on TV today. That was the final game. Seiryo from Ishikawa almost garbed the victory but they couldn't. Toyama-daiichi from Toyama came from behind and won. It was really exciting game. I really admire all of them. Japanese soccer players perform really well recently. I hope Japanese team get the World Cup someday.

Taking TOEIC Test Today

I took TOEIC test today. Listening section went well but reading section didn't go well as usual. I should study more about grammatical things. 

Buying a New Car

My son is going to work from April. He is really interested in buying a car for now. I think he should buy a second hand car because it would be reasonable price. But he want to have new one. 

Writing Helps Speaking

I've been writing an English blog everyday since last November. It would help me not only for writing skill but also speaking skill. I write about my thoughts or the world around myself so I hardly forget about the articles I wrote. There are MY stories not others'. That means I'm getting lots of topics I could talk in English every day. I don't write important things in my blog  but I believe at least it would help me to make small talk.

A 24 Hours of Sir Richard Brandon

I watched a TV show about Richerd Brandon. He is the founder of Virgin Group. The documentary showed us a 24 hours of his activity. He flew from the U.K to the U.S, Chicago. Every places people including his staff wanted to have pictures taken with him and he welcomed to do that all of them with big smiles. Once he appeared, the atomothphere there turned into bright and cheerful. He definitely is something.

The Mystery of the Consumption Tax

The consumption tax will rais from 5% to 8% in April. My FB friend have booked a dress for rent the other day. She will use the costume in May but she payed the fee the day she reserved. Then the shop charged 8% for the consumption tax not 5%. It was still in January. What do you think about that?
