Saori writes from her study abroad in England

 

Bath - World Heritage Site

Dear Mr. & Mrs. George

Hi Jim & Yukari, greetings from London

Time flies, already three months have passed since I arrived in the U.K.!! I've just finished taking lesson in Bath. I had been staying with my host mother for six weeks. She was very generous ...so I was lucky.

I could make a lot of foreign friends. And I could know different culture. I've already had many good experiences.

Besides, I went on a trip. For example, Oxford, Cardiff, Cotswolds, Weymouth, Bristol and Cheddar Gorge. In October, I'm going to Venice to meet my friend again. She was my flatmate.

I think that living in England is a great experience to improve my English skill. I feel my English has improved more than before. I'm going to another language school in Winchester on 4th of September. I'll do my best!! I'd like to show my growth by next meeting. Next time (when I come back to Japan), let's talk about what's going on recently.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Best regards,

Saori

Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings - after reading

After reading #4                                                                                                                       Spoiler alert!

At Winchester where today Silver Blaze won the Wessex Cup- good news for the owner Mr. Ross and all the people with bets on the horse. The detective Sherlock Holmes knows Mr. Ross’s horse, and he found the name of John Straker’s races too.

So who killed John Straker? The horse did! Straker tried to make a cut in a tendon in Silver Blaze’s leg, and the horse kicked out. The horseshoes hit Straker on the head and killed him. The horse then disappeared until today.

     And killer was Silver Blaze in the week before the Wessex Cup race? That is still a mystery.
