I don't feel well  我感觉不舒服

Hello!  Today, I'm talking about this year's Autumn.  I think that Autumn came late this year, but the autumn leaves have finally started.  They are so beautiful. It's a shame that I can't show it to you living abroad. I don't know how much I can express this beautiful Autumn scenery in words, but I'd try it.  Thank you for listening!

ゆっくりやってきた秋
今年は11月になっても、昼間の気温が高い日が多く、少し動くだけで汗ばむ陽気でした。でも、11月の半ばを過ぎて、ようやく秋らしい気候になってきました。
朝晩は空気がひんやりと冷たく、毛糸のセーターを着てちょうどいいくらいです。
最近、時間のあるときは、できるだけ　歩くようにしています。うちから　20分ほど歩いたところに、ジブリ映画「ホタルの墓」の舞台になった池があります。そこには、桜の木などいろいろ植えられていて、今ごろになると　葉が赤や黄色に紅葉します。　1年中、緑色の木とのコントラストがとても美しいです。　その景色が　池の水面にも映っていて、写真に撮ると1枚の絵画のように見えます。　その池の周りを　ぐるっと一周　回るように歩きます。歩いている間も、風が吹くたびに、色づいた木の葉が、枝から離れて　ひらひらと　舞い落ちて行きます。地面には　落ちた木の葉が　たまって、　近くに住む家の人が、それらを　ほうきでかき集めて　道路をきれいにしています。全部の木の葉が落ちきるまで、しばらくは　この人たちの苦労は続くと思います。でも、私はただの通行人なので、「たいへんそうだなあ」と思うだけです。　その人たちの苦労を横目に、その落ち葉さえ秋の景色の一つとして楽しんでいます。
私は　歩きながら　景色の写真をたくさん撮ります。日本は季節があるので、同じ場所でも、季節によってまったく見え方が違います。雲も違います。夏、あれだけ力強く空にあった入道雲はもうありません。　すうっと線を引いたような薄い雲がいろんな方向から伸びていたり、小さくちぎれた雲がたくさんあったり。そうかと思えば、雲一つない青空だったりします。　池には、夏にはいなかった渡り鳥の群れが　何百羽も来ていました。ざっと数えただけでも200羽以上はいたと思います。冬を前に、引っ越ししているんですね。私たちも　冬支度を少しずつ始めないといけません。かぜも　インフルエンザもコロナも　かかりたくありませんからね。

Why Should You Have a Tutor to Help You with Your English

Bir öğretmen gemiye binmiş. Gemiciye, “Sen hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okudun mu?” diye sormuş. Gemici “Hayır, daha önce hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okumadım.” diye cevap vermiş. Bunun üzerine öğretmen, gemiciye “Ömrünün yarısı mahvolmuş.” demiş.
Gemici çok sinirlenmiş, kalbi kırılmış ama öğretmene hiçbir şey söylememiş. Bir süre sonra büyük bir fırtına çıkmış, fırtına sebebiyle gemi çok sallanmış. Gemici, öğretmene “Sen yüzme biliyor musun?” diye sormuş. Öğretmen, “Hayır, yüzme bilmiyorum.” demiş. O zaman gemici, öğretmene şunları söylemiş: Şimdi senin ömrünün tamamı mahvoldu. Çünkü gemi biraz sonra batacak!
