Today I watched the World Cup final. I also had a Korean test at school. I was very sleepy, but I did my best. This evening I have my part-time job. I want to go home early after work because I am tired. I hope tomorrow will be a relaxing day because I need some good rest.

Today, my French test and English presentation finally ended. I was very happy and relieved because I had worked hard for both of them. Although I feel sleepy now, I still have to go to my part-time job. I am a little tired, but I will do my best and enjoy my free time later.

There was a World Cup final at 4 a.m. this morning, but I forgot to watch it. I thought Argentina would win, but Spain won. A game between two strong teams must be very interesting, so I want to watch it when I get home. Today, two of my friends had birthdays recently, so four of us gave them birthday presents during lunch. They were both very happy, and I was very happy too. After school today, I am going to have a barbecue with four boys and four girls from my part-time job. We are going to rent a place at a beer garden above Yokohama Station and have a barbecue. After that, we are planning to play with fireworks together. I am really excited because I think I can make a wonderful summer memory with all my favorite people. I have not decided what to wear yet, so I will think about a cute outfit when I get home.

Good morning. Today is the hottest day ever. Just walking to go to school makes me sweat and I'm about to collapse. In addition, there was a live show nearby today, so there were a lot of people. I have an English test now, so I'll do my best. After this test, it's summer vacation. I want to split watermelon in the summer

Today is a holiday, but I have school. I have classes until the third period, and I don’t have a fourth-period class. After my third class, my friend will come to my university to pick me up. Then we will hang out together. At night, we will go to karaoke and sing until morning. I don’t have school tomorrow, so I will do my homework after I get home. I haven’t been to karaoke for a long time, so I’m very excited.

I came across an interesting article online about taking a nap regularly. I would like to share some of the key points here. The article stated that there is a research which those who take a nap frequently have a high risk of suffering from high blood pressure and stroke. Taking a nap has been attracting a lot of attention lately. There has been some researches that those who take a nap a few times per week have a low risk of suffering a heart attack and stroke or taking a nap regularly can improve a cognitive ability. However, according to the analysis result of Biobank data in U.K, the new research revealed it's highly likely that those who take a nap frequently have a high blood pressure and stroke. The research team removed those who were already suffering from those kinds of diseases at the start of the investigation and analyzed the data such as how often you take a nap and if you have a high blood pressure and stroke. From the result, those who have high risk of suffering from those kinds of disease are men who take a nap on a daily basis, have a habit of drinking and smoking and are night owl that can't sleep at night due to insomnia and snoring. The risk depends on their age and people under 60 have 20% higher possibility of becoming high blood pressure. On the other hand, people over 60 have 10% higher possibility. The research team also discovered that the risk of high blood pressure raises by 40% as the frequency of taking a nap increases from "sometimes" to "frequently". This is just result that they checked to see if there is a correlation between nap and disease, not that they proved a causal relationship between them. That's why it is not like that taking a nap causes blood high pressure and stroke. Taking a nap is not harmful itself, but many people doing that can sleep shallow during the night. I just turned 60 this year and have a habit of taking a nap only on Sunday. I'd better be careful on the habit in the future.

داستان کوتاه به فارسی فنجان ترک‌خورده پیرمرد هر روز با یک فنجان ترک‌خورده چای می‌نوشید. نوه‌اش گفت: «بابابزرگ، چرا این فنجان را دور نمی‌اندازی؟» پیرمرد لبخند زد و گفت: «می‌بینی این ترک را؟ یادگار روزی است که مادربزرگت برای اولین بار برایم چای ریخت. اگر این فنجان سالم بود، شاید آن روز را فراموش می‌کردم.» نوه لحظه‌ای سکوت کرد. آن روز فهمید بعضی چیزها به خاطر بی‌نقص بودن ارزشمند نیستند؛ به خاطر خاطره‌هایی که در خود نگه داشته‌اند ارزش دارند. --- Short Story in English The Cracked Cup Every day, an old man drank his tea from a cracked cup. One day, his grandson asked, "Grandpa, why don't you throw that cup away?" The old man smiled. "Do you see this crack? Your grandmother made tea for me in this cup on the day we first met. If the cup had stayed perfect, I might have forgotten that day." The boy looked at the cup again. It was still cracked, but somehow it seemed beautiful. That day, he learned that some things are valuable not because they are perfect, but because they carry our memories.

After that, we went shopping in the city. I wanted to buy clothes and Chinese cosmetics in Hong Kong. But for some reason, my friend wanted to go to Japanese stores. By the way, there are many Japanese stores in Hong Kong. Because she kept going to those stores, I couldn’t visit the shops I wanted to go to. It was really disappointing.

I stayed home all day today. I actually slept the whole time, so I’m not tired at all. I’m really worried about whether I’ll be able to sleep tonight. I watched a lot of Marvel movies, so strangely enough, I feel like I’ve gotten stronger myself. The latest Spider-Man movie is coming out at the end of this month, so I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll probably end up going to see it a few times, so I’m going to save up some money.

Today, I played futsal with my friends. We had a lot of fun and played several exciting games. It was very hot, so we took breaks and drank plenty of water. I scored one goal, and everyone cheered for me. After playing, I felt tired but happy because I got some good exercise and enjoyed spending time with my friends.
