hydrangea アジサイ;

I like to go for a walk every day. I started walking about one hour every day last year at the start of the pandemic. Everything was closed for three months, and I wanted to get out of the house and breathe fresh air.
I still go out for a walk almost every day now. I don’t get bored because I listen to a podcast while I’m walking. Besides, the neighborhood is full of flowers. Right now one of Japan’s most beautiful flowers is in bloom: the hydrangea . It comes in many colors, but my favorites are deep blue and purple. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

In 1935, a man was riding his motorcycle when he saw two boys in the road. He tried not to hit them, but he fell off his motorcycle and died from the accident on May 19. His name was T. E. Lawrence. When he was in his twenties, Lawrence went to the Middle East to study. World War I started, and he helped the Arabs fight against the Ottoman Empire. In 1962, they made a movie about his life. The title is “Lawrence of Arabia.” It is almost four hours long, but many people think that it is one of the best movies ever made. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
