I"ll have to prepare materials for tomorrow's Japanese class.

Tomorrow, I'll have a class of Japanese. But I am afraid I may lose my enthusiasm, because I have only one student, Bryan Rose, now. However, I think I must do my best.
In the previous lesson, Bryan told me about his weak points - "I am 41 years old, I don't have enough time to learn Japanese, and I am too proud to be taught by my Japanese wife or children." he said. I had heard the same excuses before. Why does he make such excuses repeatedly? I want to say that,without being embarassed by making mistakes, we cannot make progress in speaking a foreign language.

News from Christchurch devastated by the earthquake: 98 people were found dead in the fallen building in which there was the language school where more than 25 Japanese students were learning English. It is unknown whether the bodies are male or female, or of what nationalities they are. It is so sad to see the fallen buildings around the Cathedral Square,including the Cathedral itself, which I visited and saw several years ago.
