2020年12月24日「モバイル英語学習」第681号 (英語のエッセイ): What if Santa Gets the Coronavirus?

Notes
all eyes and ears 全集中力を注ぐこと;
be vaccinated 予防接種を受けた

******************************
On an afternoon train, I heard a small boy ask his mother. “What if Santa Claus gets the coronavirus? I won’t be able to get a present, will I?” The passengers around them were all eyes and ears. They waited for his mother’s answer. She told her son, “Don’t worry, dear. Santa Claus has been already vaccinated!” That’s good to know. All the passengers listening to the conversation looked very happy. The origin of Christmas was to hear good news. I hope that next year’s Christmas will be full of good news! (by a Jaremaga reader)

2020年12月15日「モバイル英語学習」第680号 (英語のエッセイ): We Need to Be Careful

Notes
fraud 詐欺

**********************
There are various kinds of fraud around us. I received a strange email from amazon the other day. It said there were some payments from my credit card and I needed to contact them if I hadn’t bought anything. I found a small box at the bottom of the email. It was a link that I could use to contact them. I almost clicked the link, but I wanted to check whether the mail was fake or not. I used Google and found out that it was fake. I was relieved that I didn’t get involved. I think we really need to be careful when we find a strange email in our inbox. (by a Jaremaga reader)
