Tokyo Trip: Tokyo Dome
Yesterday, I met an acquaintance [知り合い] in Tokyo.
I've been to Tokyo many times, but this was the first time I went to Tokyo Dome. We didn't have tickets to see a baseball game, but we looked at Tokyo Dome City. There were many fans from Osaka! I bought some souvenirs [お土産を買った].
Guess who I saw at Tokyo Dome City! [Guess ~ = ~を考えてみてください]
Comedian team オードリー was at Tokyo Dome City! They rode the rollercoaster [ジェットコースター] at Tokyo Dome City.
Have you ever ridden the Tokyo Dome rollercoaster?
I didn't ride it. It seems too scary! I only watched.

Dog days of summer
Rainy season [梅雨] has ended early!
Is that a good thing? Maybe not.
Now, we are in the "dog days of summer." The dog days of summer are the hottest days of summer.
Maybe late July [７月] to early September [９月] are the dog days of summer in America. Is Japan the same?
The "dog days of summer" is an expression. It really has nothing to do with dogs! Even so, here's my ugly dog drawing!
Isn't he a sad, ugly dog? He's so hot, because it's the dog days of summer!
I hope it becomes cooler soon.... But I must wait for the dog days to end....

Homophones! ヽ(`Д´)ノ 異形同恩義語 (Peanuts)
Sorry! I've been a little sick. Here's a short entry for today. （‐＾▽＾‐）
Even English speakers have difficulty using homophones. Let's look!
Sally: <writing> Please send me your picture. [<書いてる>私にあなたの写真を送ってくれてください。]
Sally: <writing> You are my favorite TV actor. [あなたは私の一番好きな俳優です。]
Sally: <writing> I think you are grate. [私はあなたは粐床と思います。]
Charlie: <speaking> Are you writing to an actor or a fireplace? [<言ってる>あなたは俳優か、暖炉に書いてるの？]
How is the translation? It's a little difficult for me? ミスがある？
Sally wants to write, "I think you are great." [私はあなたは偉大と思います。]
"Great" and "grate" are homophones. Their pronunciation is the same, but their meanings are different. [発音は同じだが、意味は違う。]
Words like "meet / meat" or "red / read" are homophones. Want more examples? Here's a strange video about homophones. [変なビデオ。。。]
