2015年2 月10日「モバイル英語学習」第360号( エッセイ ): Do We Need a Passport?

Notes:
make bad use of 悪用する
————————
We can come and go between European countries without showing our passport. I found that out when I went to Europe last September. That’s convenient for tourists. But after I came back, France had several terrible terrorist attacks, so this has become a big topic of conversation. Is it good that everyone can move so freely? Unfortunately, there are people who make bad use of this system, so I think that we need to show our passport when we go between countries in Europe. Besides, if I stay as a tourist, I want to get a stamp from each country in my passport. It will become a good memory of my trip.  (written by a reader, revised by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

2013年8月29日「モバイル英語学習」第197号(エッセイ): I Have a Dream

Notes:
demonstration: デモ(行進);
march: 行進,行軍;
memorial:記念館,記念碑;
——————————
50 years ago, more than 250,000 people went to Washington, D.C., for a demonstration. It was called the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. At that time, many black Americans couldn’t get good jobs or go to good schools like white people. Many were poor. Martin Luther King, Jr., made a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial and talked about his dream of black and white people living together in freedom. Some of his dream has come true. Many black people are getting a better education and have better jobs, but a lot of black Americans are still poor. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
