You may have heard the word “telework” recently. “Tele” comes from Greek and means “far.” These days more and more people are working at home, far from their office, so they are doing telework. You probably know a few other words that begin with “tele.” When “tele” is put together with “phone”, the Greek word for “sound,” it means a device that lets you send and hear sound far away. When “tele” is put together with “vision”, the Latin word for “see”, it means a device that shows you images far away. A telescope is a device that lets you watch things far away such as the Moon.

Notes
Pennsylvania 　（アメリカ)ペンシルベニア州;
Don’t I wish! そうなればいいと思っているんでしょ！

—————————–
My wife was driving from Washington, D.C., to Pennsylvania to meet a friend. She got lost and decided to ask for directions. She stopped at a furniture store. When she asked the owner where she was, he said、”Paradise.” “Paradise” has the same meaning as “heaven.” My wife thought he was kidding and said, “Don’t I wish!” but the man looked at her seriously. “You are in Paradise. This is Paradise Furniture Store.” She looked out and checked the sign. He was right. She was in a city called “Paradise.” Actually, Pennsylvania has some of the most unusual city names of any state in the U.S. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
