New Year’s resolution 新年の決意
————————–
What did you do at the New Year? I took some children to Korea for four days to see the cranes that spend the winter there. We got up one morning to watch these big birds before sunrise. The temperature was -7 degrees. It was so cold that my hands hurt! Then I heard from my sister who lives near Boston that it went down to -20 degrees, and the water pipes in her house froze! Back in Japan, I made my New Year’s resolutions. I will keep a diary every day in Korean and take a Korean test in July. What are your New Year’s resolutions? ( by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
