Thought for the day             TM Nakamura

Ice melting trip to the English World
April is the best season for reviewing and evaluating each new year's
resolution,because the new school year has just started and it is when
we can have a fresh mind.
My new year's resolution was off course "To improve my English skill".
However, when I make some progress, the thin Ice broke stands in my
way. So, I always have to go on an Ice melting trip to the English world.
Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister visited Japan after six and half
years. I wonder when the ice will melt for me. I've wanted to have a good
relationship with English.
Tomorrow is "Earth Day". While I don't know whether my mean husband
knows it or not, he said to me, "Leave it and your ice will melt in 10 years
because of Global warming."
"No,way!" I wish I could melt it without global warming and with my warm
will instead.
Anyway, let's enjoy going on an ice melting trip to the English world
together!
