雨が降って体育大会が延期になったのは残念ですが、おかげで今日はこの春のEnglish Diaryを紹介できます。前回よりさらにバージョンアップした作品を、お楽しみ下さい。
・I went to Iga and visited 'ninja-yashiki.' I was moved. There were a lot of traps. Ninja made medicine and studied hard. I think ninja is very smart.
・J2 is over. I want to say "Thank you" to my classmates. I have had a lot of happy memories.
・Today is "Higan-Ake." I visited the grave with mother, grandmother, and grandfather. We cleaned the grave. First I watered the grave. Then I wiped it steadily. Lastly I put flowers in front of it, and we prayed. I was filled with thanks for my ancestors.
・My friend lives in Okayama. I was looking forward to seeing him. So I went to Okayama today.
・The Swimming Club met for the last time this year. While everyone was in the pool, I studied mathematics. I have just finished it, so I am very happy. But...I wanted to be in the pool, so I am very sad.
・I went camping. I tried the wild grass hunt. I picked horsetails.
・What's today? It's April Fool's Day! So I said, "I won't hear anything!!!! Oh~what can I do~?" in the morning. And comes my sister. She said, "A----------!!!!" by my ear! I said, "A~~~GHHHH!!!!" and she left.
・I played the piano at Mitsunaka Hall. My piano was listened to by a lot of people. I was very nervous, so I walked strangely (so I heard). I was very nervous!! So I missed. I was very nervous!!! So I don't remember playing the piano. I was shocked by these things.
・Today is "hanami biyori." With my friends I went to Ashiyagawa. Look...very beautiful. We ate lunch and played soccer. But!! I hear 'dobun'→What?? Look...my friends fell into the river!! Very funny!!
・In the evening, my grandfather came to my house. He made tanin-don for us. But my brother said, "I like oyako-don better."
・I am in danger now, because I have not finished homework. So I will try hard!
・4/1: I slept all day. 4/2: I slept all day too. 4/3: I slept all day too. 4/9: I had a lot of homework. I must finish it. But, I slept. I think I am very, very foolish.
長期休暇のたびに書いているこのDiaryは、最小箇所しか手を入れていません。それぞれの文章の手触りをこわしたくないからです。その為、教科書や問題集に登場する文章や表現とは多少ずれていることもありますが、詩や小説の文章と同じで、「へぇ、場合によったらこれも『あり』なんだ」と楽しんでいただけたらと思います。
