****************************
1. Kerama is a national park.
2. There are sea snakes and sea turtles around Kerama, and they have to come up to the surface of the water to breathe.
3. Tuna is one of the most popular dishes in Naha. The tuna is caught in nearby waters.
4. Many of the houses in Naha have flat roofs.
5. Children who live on small islands have to go to Naha for high school. Schools usually have special dormitories for them, but sometimes they live with a relative who moves to the main island with them.
6. Driving around Naha is difficult because of the narrow streets, but having a GPS in your car makes it much easier. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

————————-
The 2022 Winter Paralympics have begun, and there have already been some great performances. In the first three days, Muraoka Momoka has won two medals in sit skiing. She is one of Japan’s greatest paralympic athletes. At the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang four years ago, she won five medals. Will she be able to do it again this time? She has a rival, Anna-Lena Foster of Germany. They have skied together in the Winter Paralympics since Sochi. This time, Foster won the silver medal in both events, but there was less than one second between their times. Who will get the next gold? (by Prof.Douglas Jarrell)
