仙台 えいごの教室

  Guess what we are doing here! We are looking through binoculars¹.

 

  This was taken about a week ago, and the mom of this tiny lady gave me the photo. You must be curious² about what we are looking at, right? We are looking at swans in the Hirose river. While we were studying, the swans were calling³ to each other and making a really big noise for a while.

 

  So since I have binoculars hanging on the wall in my teaching room, I got them and set the focus and held them for her. She’s so cute, isn’t she? Even from behind, we can tell she’s really trying to see the swans through the lenses.

 

  As you probably noticed⁴, we happened to⁵ wear the same colored clothes! That makes this photo even more special!!
  
 

  Speaking of⁶ the swans in the Hirose river, many of them flew away in the last few days. On Friday I counted 9 still here, and this morning, which was Sunday, there were still 9 left. Among them, there were 3 or 4 young ones who still have slightly gray feathers.

 

  People who come down to⁷ the river now often say they look at them thinking⁸ maybe this is going to be the last time to see them. Yes — It’s about time⁹!!
