具体的な場所を地図上で説明するメモ

テストを受ける予定があるので、ちょっとグラマーをやっています。
その一部にあった、describe the position of the specific places according to the map(図あり）
完全に地図を読めないので、過酷。
特に混乱を極めたのは以下の二つの文。

どんなときに「in」どんなときに「to」を使うのか。という話。

Florida is in the south-east of the USA

Cuba is to the south of Florida

キューバとフロリダの位置がスっと頭にうがぶ人には
なんてことない文章なんだけど、 位置関係がわからないので
頭が完全シャットアウト。

位置はこう。らしい。（アバウト）

フロリダはUSAの一部だから（へー、そうなの？ってレベル。）、ここではin。フロリダはUSAの南東にあります。しかし、キューバとフロリダの関係を説明するときは、 キューバはフロリダの一部ではないので
to  をつかいキューバはフロリダの南にあります。

だから例えば、となりのビルにファミリーマートがあり、それがビルの一階、南に位置すれば
in。

となりのビルって言っているここのビルからファミリーマートをさせば、to。

 

つーことかよ？先生に「キョートは東京の東よね？だから。。。」と例文を出されそうになり
いや、西だと思う...。西...。と言いつつも自信がなくなる。そんな非国民な授業でした。
まず、日本の地図がわからねば...。白地図ほしいなあ。

 

futher north /furthest north / northernmost

北へ北へ。

hemisphere　半球。。。

The Camera is just a tool.Do not rely on it.Even if you have a disposable camera,you can
take a nice photo.Even if you have a quite expessive camera, you never able to impress anyone by photos taken by you.Just enjoy taking photos!

お引越し完了

東京へお引越ししました～～～
とは関係ない写真。

食材の買出しだ、、ごはんだ洗濯だ、ももさんだ！
とやっていると、おやおかしい。田舎に住んでいたときよりも
はるかに時間がない...。

まあいいや。
きっとそのうち慣れるはず。

Last weekend I moved into new flat in Tokyo. It takes two and half hours from my previous house to my office. now much closer !  just one hour by subwayThere are big parks,hospitals,post office and liberary near my flat. I can fech lots of books on foot all the time I thought If I live in Tokyo I could do anything that I had wanted to do when I was living in country side but actually I haven't have any pleasure time yet because I have to prepare meals for my partner and rabbit, wash up, wash clothes,go shopping a lot of housework every day.....when I have time, it means I 'm at office...?

Terrible.but I know that I 'd get used to do it.I know I'd love it.

ossuary

I've been reading Angels And Demons for over a month.It's about conclave in Roman catholic church (Vatican).Four cardinals were kidnapped by ancient cult terrorists and in addition,The church's threaten that murder victims by an hour.A famous professor(He's staring in The Da Vinci Code too...) and scientist are searching for them with code.It's very interesting! Ive looked up some vocabs which hardly use even in Japanese.For instance papacy,vague,iambic,delirium,,,and ossuary. ossuary??? Now I can tell the meaning of "ossuary"!!

Yes!!

favorite cafe

Almost every weekends my friend Flan and I go to the cafe near my house.Staffs are all elderly female they makes a good  atmosphere. After  coffee they  serve us green tea and some snacks at no cost.

we had cakes and cofee then went to a library to study until 9.p.m.like high school students.

Momo doesn't look well lately.When she's "digging" in my bed,She looks lively but she doesn't have food enough.I suddenly got up before 6a.m.this morning.When I checked her cage there are leftovers,no actually she didn't eat anything.So I ran into our garden to pick some Dandelions leaves then fed Momo.She ate all of them.I was relieved.I think rabbits are not strong enough to survive in the field.But she gives me a lot.

NHK Symphony Orchestra,Tokyo

After my ex-sperior and I had early dinner,we visited to NHK concert hall in Halajuku Tokyo to enjoy orchestra.Ludwig Van Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5"emperor"and Andrej Panufnik Katyn Epitaph.etc.Although a stranger guy who sitting next to me had annoyed me a lot  I had a good time today.

There was a Ｔｈａｉｌａｎｄ festival near the hall with Panda umbrella bought in Chinatown.

ぶりっこ。

I must go on a diet.

When I saw my mother last week she told me several times that I hadn't show my ugly ugly body in publish!!! OMG I've gradually kept putting on weight since I came back Japan.
:< I must go on a diet at least less 4kg till I go to Korea to visit my frined who I met in Malta..

The Shadow of the Wind

On my way back home I dropped by a book shop and bought a new book which is written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is entitled
The Shadow of the Wind.It's the thickest book I 've ever bought and read. Do you thinik that I'd have finished it by the end of Japanese
long holiday? The bookmark mark was givven by Flan when she came back from European trip.

What I'm thinking recently is that "thirty years old" was the turning point in my creer.When I met a serious first boyfriend at the age of
twenty one,I thought I'd married him but I didn't.When I realized the boyfried having affair I was already twenty six then split up before I turned twenty eight.Sb said I'd be a spinster.It hurt me anyway.Most of the people who I met in abroad says I didn't have to be in hurry but
when I came back here I've heard several times it was too late to find a Mr.right (in Japan) The average life expectancy in Japan is around 85.81years old in female.Don't you think it's a bit early to choose the one? haha... I know that is just a excuse..

English

Please check it when you have the time

Please check it if you have the time.

Do you know which one means "Please when you can"
and another one means "They may not check it at all"

I know that they were difficult only for Japanese because we use both as the same meanings.
Mybe my colleagues laughted at me when I wote msg like that?
