A 14-year-old is in the news. Harimoto Tomokazu has become the youngest player to win the Men’s Singles at the All Japan Table Tennis Championships. He beat 28-year-old Mizutani Jun, a 9-time champion and the winner of the bronze medal at the last Olympics. He also won the ITTF World Tour Men’s Singles title in the Czech Republic last August. That made him the youngest winner of a World Tour. Actually, Harimoto comes from a table tennis family. His father is a table tennis coach, and his mother played for China in the 1995 World Team Championships. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Ohio アメリカのオハイオ州;

People in a small city in Ohio (in the middle of the U.S.) have a problem. A lot of wild turkeys came to the area a few weeks ago. They move around in groups of five or six. When they see someone walking on the sidewalk, they lower their heads and attack. One mail carrier cannot deliver the mail, so about 20 families have to go to the post office to pick it up. The city wants people to stop leaving bird food out, hoping that the hungry turkeys will go away. The mail carriers are also talking about delivering the mail in the evening when the turkeys aren’t around. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
