”【再放送】Lesson 176 up”

Tues. 30th December 2025 - Sunny 

I visited 水前寺 Park with my mom.

母と水前寺公園に行きました。

We sat on a bench, listened to birds chirping and saw some carps in the pond.

わたしたちはベンチに座って、鳥の鳴き声を聞いたり、池の鯉を見たりしました。

After that I ate だご汁. A staff filled it up in the cup, so I couldn’t drink the soup up.

その後だご汁を食べました。お店の人が茶碗いっぱいについだので、お汁を全部飲み干すことができませんでした。

◎The plural of “carp” is usually “carp”.

National Hot Spring

Fri. 26th December 2025 - Windy and Sunny

Before my flight to my hometown I enjoyed a natural hot spring at 羽田 airport.
I saw a nice view ; the sea and sky, taking a bath.

After correction
・Before my flight to my hometown, I enjoyed a natural hot spring at 羽田 Airport.
◎Adding a comma after “hometown” improves readability.

・I saw a nice view ; the sea and sky, taking a bath.
→
I saw a nice view of the sea and sky while taking a bath.
◎”View of” works better when we’re talking about what we can see.

◎ “While taking a bath" connects the action and the view more naturally.
