西山公園に歩くの朝


今日、桜を見に西山公園へ歩いて行きました。アパートから西山公園まで歩いて1時間かかったが、戻る時間は30分でした。なぜなら、行く時、鉄道をどこにも渡らなかった。

西山公園は桜がいっぱいある。

小さい動物園もあります。猿とかレッサーパンダも見ました。

昼ご飯は唐揚げとオレンジジュースを食べました。たこ焼きもあったけど、たこ焼きあまり好きではありません。

そして、今日、先生になりました。始めたクラスを教えました。緊張しちゃったけど大丈夫だと思う。もっと元気になるといいね。でもしょうがない, 疲れた!結局西山公園に行って三時間歩きました。

Romaji:

Kyou, sakura wo mi ni Nishiyama Koen e aruite ikimashita. Apaato kara nishiyama koen made aruite ichi-jikan kakattaga, modoru jikan wa san-juuppun deshita. Nazenara, ikutoki, tetsudo o dokonimo wataranakatta.

Nishiyama Koen wa sakura ga ippai aru.
Chiisai doubutsuen mo arimasu. Saru toka lessa panda mo mimashita.

Hirugohan wa karaage to orenjijuusu o tabemashita. Takoyaki mo attakedo, takoyaki amari suki dewa arimasen.

Soshite, kyou, sensei ni narimashita. Hajimeta kurasu o oshiemashita. Kinchoushichatta kedo daijoubu da to omou. Motto genki ni naru to ii ne. Demo shouganai, tsukareta! Kekkyoku Nishiyama Koen ni itte sanjikan arukimashita.

English:

Today, I walked to Nishiyama Park to see the cherry blossoms. Walking there from my apartment took an hour, but the return time was 30 min. Why? 'Cause on the way there, I couldn't cross the railroad tracks ANYWHERE. Ahhhh.

Nishiyama Park has lots of sakura trees.
It also has a small zoo. I saw monkeys and red panda.

For lunch I ate fried chicken and orange juice. There was also takoyaki (octopus fried in batter), but I don't really like takoyaki. 

Also today, I became a teacher. I taught my first classes. I was nervous but I think it was ok. It would be better if I was more bright and energetic, but I was tired. After all, I was 3 hours walking to/in Nishiyama Park.

Notable Vocabulary:

kakaru = to take (time)

doubutsuen = zoo
kinchou = nerves, tension
