Mark: Lili, I'm going to meet your mom and dad tomorrow. I'm going to buy some flowers for my aunt and a bottle of red wine for my uncle.  
Lili: There is no need to buy these. We all like fruit very much. Just buy some fruit.  
Mark: Is it that simple?  It's not like where we are.  
Lili: It's as simple as that. If they're too grand, they don't look natural.  
Mark: I'm afraid that would be rude.  
Lili: Do as the Romans do.  We'll treat you to a potluck dinner.

桜が咲く期間（開花～散るまで）はどのくらいか知っていますか？

だいたい2週間ぐらいと言われています。
もちろん、地域や気候によって差が出ます。

桜の名所はいくつかあります。

東京は目黒川、上野公園
