LETTER FROM HAPPY ENGLISH SCHOOL　　Sep. 29th, 2021

Hello.　How are you？　It is getting cooler and I feel really comfortable particularly in the morning and in the evening. It is said when the equinox comes, good-by to the heat or cold and it is true. What I am especially impressed with the autumnal equinox is that we see red spider lilies every time the equinox comes. Now we rarely see those flowers in the city, but despite the climate change going on, they still know when to come out and their red flowers really stand out in the idyllic green background under the refreshing autumn sky.

Although the coronavirus pandemic deprives students of opportunities to go on outings or join events, it seems that schools have tried to go back to normal by holding athletic meets, school festivals or school trips anyway with some reservations at the moment. After the state of emergency is lifted, more school activities will be carried out with care so that the number of new infection cases will not increase.

As more teenagers will be vaccinated, the number of new infection cases will be curbed and I hope even though infected, people will not develop serious symptoms.

I also hope that while we are combating the virus, more effective medicine and vaccines will be developed and the COVID-19 will turn out be the virus we will not have to be so much worried about. I really hope that it is not a pie in the sky.

毎日COVID-19（コロナウィルス）の新規感染者数に一喜一憂する毎日です。

過ごしやすい季節になり、今が一番お出かけや屋外の活動が楽しめるときに、学校ではしばしば陽性者がでて休校になり、行事も予定通りなかなかできないようです。

Happy English Schoolでは幸いにも通常通りレッスンは行えています。せっかくレッスンに来られるのだから、しっかり吸収し、わからなければ質問し、とにかく貪欲に学習してください。わからないことをわからないままにしないでください。できるだけ、その場で覚える、また家で復習するということを習慣にしてください。

まずは読めるようになり、たくさん読むことで必ず上達します。そして話す・聞く・書くもバランスよく練習してください。この秋にまたグレードアップしましょう。
