う～ん、ミラクル。
放送授業でしゃべっていた感じで、目の前にいる。

あっという間の1日。

ハーンの教材は難しいけれど、とっても楽しい1日だった。

そして、2人組になって、自分たちも昔話で英作文してみよう！という課題が出され、私たちグループは「鶴の恩返し」になりました。私は前半を担当。

ちょっとやってみたけど、難しい。

Once upon a time,a poor grandfather and the grandmother had lived somewhere.

It was cold and snowed day.
He went to take some firewoods.

On the way back to home, he found a crane had be caught in a trap and suffering.

He said,"Oh, how poor it is!
Now I will release it from the trap.
Take care of yourself from now on. "

He let set the crane free.

A few days later, it was snowing at the night.
He heard the sound the door was knocked on.
When he opened the door, there was a girl standing there.

She said, "I got lost because of the snow. Please let me stay here at tonight."

He said "That's too bad.
Please come in and take a rest. Good night."

The girl started to live with them since that day.

She said one day,
"Grandfather and grandmother.
Please let me weave. Never look at me during weaving.

The girl closed up the door of the room, and wove on the day from early morning to late at night.

A few days later, she walked out of the room with having a bolt of cloth.
It was a very beautiful cloth.
She said,
" Grandfather, please sell this in the town. You can surely get a lot of money."
