TIME紙に沖縄の記事が!

こんにちは。
今日は、mixiに僕が大学時代の宿題のデータがあったので、ちょっと載せます。
英作文の宿題です。

A Sunny Day at the Beach

A sunny day at the beach is heaving but very enjoyable. 

Over my head, there is the shiny sun and three paragliders in the blue sky where birds flutter in a cheerful mood ; these paragliders and birds seem to be vivacious. 

Not a cloud is to be seen in the sky and a pleasant cool breese is blowing. 

On the soft sand, people take a sunbath under bright parasols. 

On shore, children holding a colorful float and water pistols are playing. 

Fixing my eyes on the horizon, I can see a ferry boot and a solitaly island. 

Someone can feel refresh if they go to the beach on a sunny day. 

次に、これまた僕が大学生の時に購読していたTIMEという雑誌に、沖縄の海の記事が載っていて、とても嬉しくなって写し書きしたデータが残っていたので、また載せます。

Five Reasons to Visit Okinawa. It's Japan, only a lot more chiled out 

The 160 tropical islands that make up the Okinawa Prefecture(also known as the Ryukyu Islands) look and feel very different from the rest of Japan, with their own language, cuisine and customs. 

While East Asian travelers have long been aware of their charms, the 1,000-km-long archipelago stretching out toward Taiwan remains something of an unknown to long-haul visitors, apart from its dubious renown as the location of the Battle of Okinawa. 

Visiting Japan? Here are five reasons why the Ryukyus should figure on your itinerary. -- By Tina Walsh 


私ごとですが、沖縄の海が恋しくなってくる季節です。

本土では、もう秋の香りがしてきます。

沖縄よりも2ヶ月くらい、秋になるのが早い気がします。
