     On November 12th, I went cycling with my friend. The destination was "Omizuen", which is famous for its autumn leaves. It is about 17 kilometers from Okayama Station.      It was sunny and the temperature was just right. We went through the Kibiji Cycling Road. There were almost no signal, no slopes, and the roads were well prepared and easy to ride. There were rows of autumn leaves and large torii gates along the way. I ate millet dumplings at Kibitsuhiko Shrine. It was a lot of fun along the way.      Ashimori, where the Omizuen is located, is famous in the townscape, and we enjoyed it as well. There were many people, and the autumn leaves and garden were very beautiful. After leaving, we went to the Yasutomi Ranch. It is near the garden. We ate gelato. It was very delicious.      I was a little tired that day, but it was a lot of fun cycling. Why don't you go there too? You can go by mamachari....

 Now, The Qatar World Cup is being held. It is an international soccer competition that comes once every four years. Because I like to play and watch soccer, I have been looking forward to it since last year. 　I was only going yo watch the Japanese national team's match because I do not know much about foreign countries. However, I suddenly became interested and opened a page to watch the Iran vs England match on Tuesday night. I watched the game thinking England were good. Then, less than five minutes later, England scored twice! I was very surprised, excited, and fascinated. I could not stop watching the game and finally watched the whole game even though the exam was coming.  After watching this match, I became looking forward to the match against Germany more and more, and even more so that I wanted to watch all the games, not just the Japan. However, sadly, because I have not studied enough so far, I have to study hard for the exam. How do I do both...?
