READING
A day before the hanami they planned, Daiki received a text message from Eric.
予定していた花見の前日、ダイキはエリックからテキストメッセージを受け取りました。
 |
Hey, Daiki. I have a problem about the hanami tomorrow: I think my allergies are starting. I sneezed a couple of times today. Yeah, I know that doesn’t sound so bad, but I always sneeze during allergy season. I’m also starting to have a runny nose and itchy eyes. I planned to do spring cleaning today, but maybe I should go to the doctor and get some allergy medicine instead. If I take medicine, my symptoms usually aren’t that bad. I don’t want to sneeze on Miho at the hanami!
TRIVIA
In Japan, it’s a tradition for people to clean their whole house on New Year’s Eve. In many Western countries, however, people do this at the start of spring and call it spring cleaning.
日本では、大晦日に家の大掃除をするのが習わしですが、欧米各国では春の初めに、「スプリング・クリーニング」と呼ばれる大掃除をします。

- sometimes
- never
Sorry, I can’t come to work today. I have a headache and am coughing a lot. I think it’s some kind of seasonal allergy, but I’m not sure. I always cough like this at the beginning of June, and I also sometimes get a really bad headache. I took allergy medicine, but now I’m really drowsy, so I think I’m going to take a nap. I usually feel better the day after I start taking medicine, so I should be able to go back to work tomorrow. If you need anything, email me. Thanks.
