Every year, Collins Dictionary chooses “The Collins Word of the Year” from a short list of ten words This year’s word is “single-use.” It means something that we use only once. For example, we usually only use plastic shopping bags once. Then they become garbage. In order to be more eco-friendly, we should try not to make garbage. Instead, we should carry things such as cloth shopping bags that we can use again and again. I learned a new word from the Collins list: “plogging.” Joggers help the environment by picking up garbage when they go running. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Notes:
chestnut tiger アサギマダラ

The autumn has been warm recently, so it is difficult to know what to wear. You can see some people in sweaters and jackets. Others are still wearing lighter clothes. The leaves on the trees in the city streets have started to change color, but they don’t seem as beautiful this year. The warm weather has also brought back butterflies. On a sunny day, you can see them flying around looking for flowers. Why are they still here? Some butterflies like the chestnut tiger fly south for the winter, but the butterflies we are seeing now usually sleep in winter. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
