Kei te pai — Soma Imai

 The word I chose is “kei te pai”. The reason I chose is Mrs Wendy taught this word every morning in last semester. It means I’m in a condition and use it when someone tell you “how are you?”. Pai means good, so if you want to explain other conditions , you can put another word instead of pai. For example, Kei te ngenge means I am exhausted, Kei te haikai means I am hungry.

Thank you for reading!! :)

A Sound That Affects Me -- Kazuki Hashimoto

    I really like  the sound of walking on snow which is pilled up. At first, I love the winter the most in four seasons. Also, I rarely saw snow in my hometown which is Fukuoka, in Japan. I don't remember surely, but I could see snow once a year or two years there because the place is relatively warmer than any places of Japan. Thus, I really used to enjoy walking on snow or having a snowball fight in a childhood whenever it snowed. That's why I love the sound.

The surprising origin of 'Hijack - Mika

 "Hijack" refers to the act of unlawfully seizing control, often applied to situations involving transportation such as aircraft or vehicles. In the U.S., there used to be a trend where criminals, pretending to be acquaintances, would approach people and address them with the common American name 'Jack'. It means the origin of hijack from "Hi, Jack". I think it is similar to "OREORE scam", involves criminals impersonating relatives or friends, claiming to be in urgent need, and deceiving individuals into sending them money. The thoughts of a scammer are found to be universal across the world.
