When I got home last night, I turned on the TV and was happy to see Japan in the lead. Kagawa had scored the first goal of the game on a penalty kick, so the score was 1-0. Then, with 6 minutes left in the first half, Colombia scored on a free kick. Quintero kicked the ball low, and it went under the wall of players when they jumped. Kawashima, the Japanese goalie, caught the ball, but it was already inside the goal. In the second half, Japan got a goal with Osako’s header from Honda’s corner kick. That put Japan ahead again, and they won 2-1. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

hydrangeas アジサイ

The rainy season is not my favorite season, but there are some things I really like about this time of year. First of all, the temperatures usually go down when it rains. Yesterday, it was raining in the morning. When the skies cleared in the afternoon, it was sunny but not hot. I also like the rainy season because of the flowers that bloom at this time of year. I particularly like hydrangeas. Do you know why some are pink, some are purple, and some are blue? The color changes depending on the pH of the soil. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
