her things instead.

S: Do you stay home most Sunday?
N: Yes, I usually read books or watch television at home.
How about you?

There has been news of an approaching typhoon. During lunch hour at the office, Tamura, who is going to the moutains tomorrow, is talking with Hayashi
H: You sure look glum. What's wrong?
T: I was planning on going to the mountains tomorrow, but it looks like the weather is going to
turn bad tonight.
H: Yes, I'm afraid so. A strong wind suddenly blew up a while ago and it looks like rain, too. It's
brobably because the typhoon is getting closer. Where did you intend to go?
T: To the Northern Alps.
H: It's dangerous to go to the mountains when the weather is bad. A friend of mine nearly lost his
life in the mountains the other day.
T: What happened to him?
H: He slipped and almost fell down a rocky slop.
T: Really? That must have been a close call. When it's rainy, rocky slops get slippery and
dangerous. It's tooo bad, but I'll have to give up my trip tomorrow.
H: That may be wise thing to do. It would be better to go after the weather improves.
T: Yes, that' what I'll do.
It was already cloudy this morning. But it didn't look like rain then. However, now, at noontime, the sky has become back, and it looks as if it's going to rain any minute. A fierce wind has suddenly come up, too. The antennas on the roofs are swaying as if they are going to fall. The typhoon is moving in on us.

Mr. Nakamura and Mr. Ymakawa are speaking about their fathers)
N: Your father sure is in good health. How old is he?
Y: My father is sixty-three.
N: Is he really? His hair is still black and he walks like a young man. So I thought he must be only
fifty-four or five.
Y: Recently he's been getting more grey hairs, but he still plays golf with us sometimes. But he gets
irritated like a child when he loses.
N: Isn't it wonderful that a father and his children can play together? Ever since he was young, my
father has been like an old man and has never done anything active.
Y: How old is he now?
N: Sixty.
Y: He is younger than my father, isn't he?
N: Yes, but he always stays home and is not in good shape like your father.
Y: You still play tennis frequently, don't you?
N: Yes, I do. But I can't move around as I did in my school days.
Yamakawa's father is sixty-three and Nakamura's father is sixty. Nakamura's father looks much older, even though their ages are only three years apart. Yamakawa's father is still as active as a young man.

In Japanes class, students are practicing writing Kanji. The teacher is going around giving them advice
T: Mr. Bailey, you'll have to write your characters more carefully. See. Your horizontal lines are higher on the left than on the right. When you draw lines from left to right, don't let them drop on the right side. It's better if you make you horizontal lines go slightly upward to the right.
B: I see.
T: Oh, Mr. Blanc, you're writing that wrong. You have to draw the horizontal line first, and then the vertical line. Please turn the end of the line up to the inside.
B: Is this the way?
T: Yes, that's it. Mr. Parker, yours are written well. You all know how to write them now, don't
you? Well then, be sure to pactice the Kanji that you've learned today, and memorize them for
tomorrow.
Students: Yes.
T: Well, this is all for today.
S: Good-bye.
T: Good-bye.
B: Shall we go home together?
B: I have to look up something at the library and I also have to go some place on the way home,
so please go on ahead.
B: Oh, I see. Well, I'll go on home. I'm expecting friends this evening, so I have to get home early.
Foriegn students in Japan must first of all learn Japanes. With this in mind Bailey, Blanc and Parker are studying the languages. Every day, they have homework and must read and review their lessons, so they can't play around all the time.

T: The Yamanaka's have just had a new baby and I would like to give them a gift.
H: Is that right? I haven't heard anything about it. When was it?
T: It was last Monday. It was a boy.
H: Well then, let's go discuss what to give them.
T: If it's not crowded, why don't we go in that coffee shop over there?
H: O.K. there'll probably be planty of room.
T: Oh, there's lots of room. Let's sit over there. What'll you have?

H: Ice cream would be fine. If they don't have it, I'll have tea.
T: What do you think would be good? If it were a girl, a doll would be nice. But what would be
suitable for a boy?
