休けい時間 きゅうけい じかん

I have a friend who climbed 富士山 ふじさんMt. Fuji when he lived in Shizuoka
Prefecture some years ago. He is fit,
though not a mountaineer or rock climber, and he said he found it to be a
pretty tough climb. The elevation in
over 12,000 feet, so altitude sickness can be an issue. It’s much colder at the top of the mountain
than at sea level, so you have to carry warmer clothes in addition to water, he
said. And if climbing on foot (there are
buses now, I hear) most climbers have to spend one night on the mountain,
staying overnight in a mountain hut (for which they have made a reservation).
No one is going to climb Mt. Fuji this summer season, however, because
the authorities have officially closed the mountain, due to corona virus
concerns. This is a sign of the times we
find ourselves in.
Some of you may
someday climb Mt. Fuji. I hope you will.
It is said to be a spiritual as well as
physical accomplishment.
Japanese 3-4
You
will be doing the class assignments created by Yoko Schmadeke Sensei from now
on. Send them /post them to me, however,
as I will be grading them in Skyward.
Japanese 5-6
In the homework I’m getting, I see that people are still having
trouble with “–have had the experience” and “doing things like …” For both patterns, you have to be solid on
the plain past form of the verb, which is derived from the te form. And knowing how to make the te form means
knowing which verb group the verb is in.
So let’s practice.
宿題 しゅくだい Homework
「なかま」第11課
A. To have had an experience – plain past ta/da
form of verb plus koto ga aru. – た・だ こと が ある・あります
Example: Last year I had the experience of swimming in
the sea. きょ年私は うみ で、およいだ こと が あります。
Now
you try:
I did
not have the experience of riding the bus in Hawai’i.
(My)
friend has had the experience of climbing Mt. Fuji.
B. To do things like ----, to do things by turns
(but not simultaneously) during a time period. You use the plain past form of the verb,
add ri, and end the sentence with suru/shimasu.
Example: なつ休みに母はこうえん で あそんだり、
としょかん で 読んだり します。During summer
vacation, (my) mother will do things like playing in the park and reading in
the library.
Now
you try.
Tomorrow

Last week (my) older sister did things like
riding the bicycle and taking photos.
