The World Cup starts tonight! At midnight, Russia are playing Saudi Arabia. I`m not really interested in these two teams, but I think I`ll stay up to watch the game. I don`t have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I can sleep in. Or, if the game is boring, I might fall asleep during the game.
Vocabulary:
- wake up: 目覚める
- get up: 起きる
- stay up: 遅くまで起きる
- fall asleep: 寝入る
- sleep in: 遅く 寝る
I heard today that Japanese footballer Homare Sawa has finally retired. She had a fantastic career (実績, not Korea 朝鮮!). I think she`s my favourite Japanese sportsperson.
Pronunciation:
- Be careful: hear = ヒーア but heard = ハード (not ヒーアド)
In the latest (=newest) JSoccer magazine, there is an article (=story) about J3 league by Teragoya teacher, Stuart. In the article, Stuart writes that Akita (who have a team in J3) "has a reputation for being the home of some of the most beautiful women in Japan". Did you know that? Is it true? Maybe next season Akita fans will visit F.C.Gifu and I can see.
Grammar:
- late --> the latest (一番新しい) BUT beautiful --> the most beautiful (一番美しい)*
*短い形容詞で __est 使う, 長い形容詞で more ___ 使う
Japan beat Australia in their quarterfinal game last Sunday.
I was expecting an interesting game, but actually it was a little disappointing. Australia played defensively for most of the game. When Japan scored in the 87th minute, the Australian players finally started attacking. But soon they were out of energy, out of time, and out of the 2015 World Cup!
Good-bye Australia. Good luck Japan!
Grammar:
- `out of ___` = `___ がなくなる`: out of time = 時間がなくなる, out of energy = 力がなくなる, out of money = 金がなくなる, out of luck = 運がなくなる
