A Bit Of Wednesday Workshop

Question:Do you believe in the "three-second rule"?

At lunchtime, my students would often drop something—like bread or an orange.As for the “three-second rule,” I think it depends on the student.When I saw someone pick up and eat food they had dropped, I didn’t say anything.

Question:What’s something that makes you feel happy or rich inside—without spending money?

Actually, this morning my daughter posted a video of my granddaughter practicing backflips.She’s seven years old and has been taking gymnastics classes since she was five.When she was five, she could already do a cartwheel.Now, she can do a beautiful back handspring, and she’s practicing backflips.She’s really enjoying it, and that makes me happy.

Question:Have you ever seen sumo wrestling live? At the Kokugikan or elsewhere?

Yes, I’ve been to the Kokugikan.There were many foreign visitors.

I have knee pain, so I couldn’t sit in the traditional box seating (桟敷).It’s hard for me to sit like that, so I chose a chair seat.Still, I was able to enjoy watching sumo.

I'd like to share a few useful expressions we came across yesterday.　😀
