“It’s sad to say, but there have been too many times I’ve seen terrible examples of plastic waste. The one time that really sticks in my mind was about 2 months ago when I visited a very famous and beautiful lake, just a stone's throw from my hometown. The whole area is famous for its natural beauty and scenery, and has become a very popular place for tourists to visit.




I went there with a couple of my friends, as we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy some of the wonderful natural scenery the country has to offer.




I can still clearly remember as we took a path down to the lake, there were plastic bottles and bags tossed everywhere all the way down to the shore of the lake. The lake itself was in an even worse state, with plastic bags, bottles and discarded styrofoam boxes floating on the water, which was a pretty depressing sight. 




It was obvious that so many ignorant visitors to the lake bring along some food or drinks to have a picnic, leaving their waste behind, or just tossing it into the lake without a thought about the harm they are doing.




I was so disgusted and ashamed by the sight that we took lots of photos to post on some public social media groups, and try to bring some attention to this environmental mess. It was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place destroyed by people's ignorance, as well as making my blood boil, that nobody seemed to care.

A visita ao Jardim Zoológico

みなさんは「はずだ」の意味を知っていますか？例えば、あなたが日曜日に友達にあるカフェに行こうと誘われたとします。あなたはそのカフェは毎週日曜日が休みだと知っています。そんな時は「そのカフェは今日休みのはずだから違うカフェに行きましょう」と言うことができます。
「はずがない」というのは「はずだ」の否定形です。

今、カタールでサッカーのワールドカップが行われています。
おととい、ドイツ対日本のサッカーの試合がありました。
日本はドイツに２対１で勝ちました。
この結果には驚いた人がたくさんいると思います。
私も「日本がドイツに勝てるはずがない」と思っていました。

なぜ勝てるはずがないと思っていたかというと、ドイツのランキングは日本よりずっと上だからです。
日本のテレビでも「ドイツに勝つのはとても難しい」と言っていました。「日本が勝つだろう」と言っていた人はほとんどいませんでした。一方、ドイツでは「日本には簡単に勝てる」と思っていた人がほとんどだと思います。
だから、「日本がドイツに勝った」と友達から聞いた時は信じられませんでした。
「うそ？」「まじ？」「本当？」と言って、本当に勝ったかどうか何度も確認しました。
今は日本のチームがドイツに勝ったことがとてもうれしいです。
ちなみに日本代表チームの選手のほとんどがヨーロッパのチームでプレーしているそうです。

みなさんにも最近「うそ？」「まじ？」と言ってしまうような信じられない出来事が起きましたか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。
