今日、早朝に起きたら雨音が聞こえてゾッとした。
実は雨が大嫌いというか、雨に濡れるのが大嫌いなんです。
昼のリスニングは、外を散歩しながらやるから濡れてしまうし、公園でのトレーニングでも地面がグチャグチャになるから嫌だ。
有給休暇がいくつあるか再計算したが、計算が苦手で毎回数字が違う。
算数も勉強したいが、5月末のTOEICに向けての勉強があるのでそれどころではない。
しかし計算は、どこの会社にいてもするのでいつかはやろう。

When I woke up early this morning, I heard the sound of rain and felt a shiver run down my spine. To be honest, I really dislike rain, or rather, I hate getting wet in the rain. I do my listening practice during the day while taking walks outside, so getting wet is inevitable, and I also dislike how the ground gets all muddy during training sessions at the park.
I recalculated how many paid vacation days I have, but I struggle with calculations, so the numbers are different every time. I want to improve my math skills, but I’m currently focused on studying for the TOEIC at the end of May. However, since calculations are something you have to do regardless of which company I work for, I’ll have to tackle that eventually.
●解説

“Today is the day for the teacher’s class. I had previously created an introductory statement in English, but it seems to have disappeared somewhere. Oh well, let’s try creating it again!”
