2019年10月4日「モバイル英語学習」第632(英語のエッセイ): An Adventurous English Woman

Notes
Tonga 南太平洋，Fiji の東の島群から成る王国

————————-
The Rugby World Cup was held at Sapporo Dome on Sep. 21 and 22. Australia played Fiji, and England played Tonga. A couple of festivals were going on in Odori Park, too. I saw many tourists from overseas in the city. One night, I happened to talk with a woman from England. She is a big fan of rugby, loves beer, has five grandchildren, and is travelling in Japan and China for 6 weeks by herself. We met again the next day for karaoke. She will fly on to Osaka and stay at Koya-san with some Buddhist monks for 3 days. The place doesn’t have alcohol, and that concerned her the most. (by a reader)

I attended my university reunion for the first time in 50 years. Fortunately, most people recognized me, but I didn’t recognize some of them. One woman had become thin because of an illness. Another woman couldn’t walk without a cane due to a back problem. Another woman who used to be a quiet girl had become talkative. One man had lost his hair. Another man was fat. Someone who used to be interested in nothing but his studies was much more likable. After leaving the university, some had a happy life, and some had a hard time. I think that people’s faces can tell us a lot about their lives. (by a Jaremaga reader)
