We talked about many different things today. First of all, we talked about how incredibly hot it has been lately. In Japan, it's really difficult to get through the summer without running the air conditioner all day. Sometimes trains and buses are so cold that you need a light jacket, even though it's extremely hot outside. I was surprised to hear that the air conditioning on New York's subways and trains isn't always very strong.
Thank you for answering my questions about American airlines. It was very interesting to learn about the meals served on ANA's international flights. I've never flown internationally with ANA or JAL. When I travel outside Japan, I've flown with Delta and United Airlines instead. I have only flown ANA and JAL on domestic flights, so I really enjoyed hearing about your experience.
You also told me that it costs about $8,000 for a family of four to travel to Japan. I thought, "That sounds about right." It may have been cheaper in the past, but international travel has become much more expensive.
You mentioned that one of your coworkers is currently in Japan. I hope they are doing okay because the weather is extremely hot right now.
Today, we practiced the conditional form 〜ば. We made many example sentences together. I especially liked the sentence, 「たくさん食べれば太ります。」 I wish we could eat as much as we wanted without gaining weight!
Thank you again for coming to class today. See you in our next lesson!またね。
