A Bit Of Friday Workshop

Question:Did you watch the MLB game the other day?

Speaker 1

 Speaking of baseball, it's definitely a hot topic right now—especially the MLB game.Unfortunately, I didn’t get to watch it live.I only saw the TV news.I did catch highlights from the second game, where Ohtani hit a home run.Honestly, I really wanted to see that live.

But the media didn’t show that scene very often.Instead, they showed unrelated stuff—like some MLB players going on sightseeing tours in Japan.Eventually, I managed to find footage of Ohtani’s home run.

Speaker 2

Of course I watched!Both the first and second games.I was so excited—three Japanese players were in the spotlight: Ohtani with the Dodgers, and Imanaga and Suzuki with the Cubs.

Ohtani hit a home run in the second game.Apparently, according to social media, the ball even hit the Tokyo Dome ceiling before landing in the audience.So many Japanese people expected a home run from him—and he delivered.He did an amazing job.

Question 2:What’s something you’ve found troublesome or bothersome lately?

That’s an easy question for me. I tried to cancel an online subscription. But as you may know, it’s really hard to figure out how. The procedure is designed to be confusing for most people. Sometimes, you can’t even find the cancellation option, so people just give up. Some companies are starting to make it easier—that’s the trend in subscriptions. 

Question 3:

Is the tissue you use at home the box type or the non-box type? And why?

These days, I use non-box type tissues. When I use a box, I have to break it down and recycle the cardboard, which is troublesome. The non-box type comes wrapped in plastic, and it's cheaper. I can also carry it anywhere easily. It’s more useful. So now, I always buy the non-box type. Though, sometimes I worry I use too many tissues with plastic packaging.
