Good evening. It is 11:01 pm in Japan. It is cloudy and at 20.9 degrees(Today high temperate is 23.6 at 11:30 pm) in the local at the moment.
Like I have written about e-news for a long time, I read some news from e-news broadcasted by NHK. Then, I learn some vocabulary. This shows every Monday to Friday. Actually, it is very helpful to practice listening and reading in English.
The official website(https://cgi2.nhk.or.jp/e-news/) of e-news shows all the articles that are broadcasted, so we are able to review them online.
These topics were broadcasted last week. Actually, we can check the movies that are available on the website for only one week after NHK posts each, so we can’t watch any videos relating to these topics in the week.
