Oh ! My God Story NO. 96

         
My private English lessons - part 4
 

From this time, let's talk about Yoshino.

 who is my other English teacher
She is an excellent Japanese interpreter.
She lives in America for thirty years.
Yoshino has done modeling in New York in early days.

The English lesson with Yoshino is very interesting for me.
Even a man like me who doesn't like English still continues to learn.
That's really something.

I was introduced to her by my friend four years ago.
I was surprised to read her palm when I first met her.
Her mind line was excellent.
It would be correct to say that her mind line was improved.

I wondered why she had such a great palm.
It is true that interpreters who manage other languages.

 have an excellent mind line.
But in her case, that's not all.
Yoshino is an excellent flutist.

So next time, I will introduce our lesson scenes.
To be continued.
