I stayed at my friend's house last night. Japan has a lot of earthquakes these days, so it's very scary. Today is the last day of the part-time job that I have been doing for more than a year. The part-time job wasn't hard, but I quit because it was stressful. However, today is the last day, so I'm very happy to be told that I can eat what I like.

I had a study session for a certification exam this evening. Usually, I take a nap before the lecture, but I didn't today, so I became very sleepy halfway through. Even when I tried to sleep a little during the ten minute break, I found it hard to wake up. However, I snapped awake in a panic when my smartphone started acting strangely.

English and Japanese are very different.First, the word order is not the same. English places the verb right after the subject, but Japanese puts the verb at the very end. Second, English speakers always use subjects like "I" or "you." However, Japanese sentences often omit them. These differences make learning both languages very interesting.

I want to wear a swimsuit this summer, so I should lose some weight. But I always eat chocolate when I feel hungry or bored. I know it is not good for my diet, but I can’t stop eating it. I think this is really bad for me.

How to learn new words in English Let me start with the bad news: there is no secret method that will magically help you remember new words. If someone tells you otherwise, they're selling something. No shortcuts — but there are smarter ways to learn. Take flashcards. They work for some people, but on their own they're limited. A word on a card is a puzzle piece without the rest of the picture. You can flip it a hundred times, but without context your brain has nothing to attach it to. Learn words in context Meet a new word — learn it inside a phrase. Get rid of is more useful than rid. I can't afford to waste time on this teaches you more than afford and waste on two separate cards. Context gives a word a place in what you already know, and that's what makes it stick. Knowing the translation ≠ knowing the word Recognising a word in a text is passive vocabulary. Using it when you speak, without stopping to think — that's active vocabulary, and that's the one that matters. The only way to move a word from passive to active is to use it: retell a story, describe your day, write a few sentences. The method doesn't matter as long as you're producing, not just consuming. Space it out Review at increasing intervals, not randomly. And accept that you will forget — that's how memory works. Every time you revisit a word and recover it, the connection gets stronger. The bigger picture A translation is knowledge. Using the word in conversation is a skill. The moment you learn what a word means, start using it — in speech, in writing, however you can. That's where learning happens. What about you? Have you found a way to make new vocabulary stick?

Today, I had classes during the second and third periods. After my second class, I had lunch at school and took a short break. Then I attended my third class in the afternoon. I listened carefully to the teachers, took notes, and did my best in class. After school, I went home and relaxed. It was a busy but enjoyable day, and I was happy that I finished all of my classes.
