You may have heard the word “telework” recently. “Tele” comes from Greek and means “far.” These days more and more people are working at home, far from their office, so they are doing telework. You probably know a few other words that begin with “tele.” When “tele” is put together with “phone”, the Greek word for “sound,” it means a device that lets you send and hear sound far away. When “tele” is put together with “vision”, the Latin word for “see”, it means a device that shows you images far away. A telescope is a device that lets you watch things far away such as the Moon. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

I am going to study in the UK this September. I have saved money for 5 years and got my boss’s permission to go to graduate school. Last October I finally passed the entrance examination, and everything seemed to be going well. Then COVID-19 spread throughout the world. It might prevent me from going. I am trying to be positive even though Japanese cannot get a visa to the UK right now. If I cannot go this year, the UK will still be there, and I am sure I will have another chance to visit the country someday. The coronavirus has killed many people, but it won’t kill my spirit.
