A businessman was participating in a long online meeting in an S-Work seat on the Shinkansen. Whenever I join a meeting on the Shinkansen, my connection often drops. It’s always stressful for me, so I wondered if he was feeling stressed too.
How should I put this? It's hard to answer that question. If I were asked, "Which department would you like to join?" I might not be able to explain it very well.
I went to the library to borrow some books. I want to read some recently published books. I’d like to find them efficiently. It’s hard to find new books just by looking at the books on the shelves.
I took a nap on a bench at the shopping mall. When I woke up, I thought I’d only slept for about five minutes. But it turned out I’d actually slept for 30 minutes. I was really surprised.
The restaurant I went to for lunch today was very slow in serving the food. I had to wait more than 15 minutes after ordering. On top of that, I couldn't have coffee after the meal. It's a shame.
I heard that his dream was to become a pirate. I thought he wanted to be like a character from the famous manga *One Piece*. But that wasn’t actually the case. He said his dream was to become a pilot. I need to work on my listening skills.
I bought a case of eight bottles of juice. I thought buying a case would be cheaper than buying them one by one. However, it turned out to be more expensive than buying them individually. I didn’t realize that until after I’d bought it.
Lately, when I buy medicine, I usually ask for generic drugs. I used to believe that brand-name drugs were more effective, so I used to ask for them. Now, if generic drugs are available, I try to choose them instead. That’s because they’re cheaper.
I went to the hospital to get checked for neuralgia. I was prescribed a month’s supply of medication. I was disappointed. How long do I need to keep taking this medication?
I saw a woman stuffing a bunch of horse racing tickets into her bag. It seemed like she had bought them some time ago. Were they losing tickets, or were they winners?
Today’s weather forecast said it would be sunny. However, when I went outside, it was raining. I was really surprised. I knew I’d get wet, but I went outside anyway.
Today, we were finally able to buy it. There was a long line in front of the store. When we first got in line, I thought we might not be able to buy it. #もっちゅりん
