■Did anyone call while I was out?
ぼくが外出していた間にだれか電話をしてきた？
□Johan took a message for Tino, what is it?
He got a call from a lady of The Thames Post and she wanted them to confirm that they could attend the orientation.
正解→A lady from The Thames Post and she wants to confirm that they can both attend the orientation.
□単語
・confirm 確認する　・hardly ほとんど～ない
□Did you catch it?
☆Did Johan write the message for Tino clearly ?
J→No, he didn’t. Tino could hardly read it.
B→My handwriting is difficult to read, too.
K→Really?
B→Absolutely, sometimes even I can’t read what I’ve written.
J→I’m similar.
I can write clearly and well, because I took calligraphy growing up.
But it can be pretty difficult for others to understand, because I prefer to write in cursive.
B→When I was young, we always had some papers by the telephone to write messages on.
We’ve never moved it, so it was easy to see it was any new messages.
J→Speaking of messages, one way I’m teaching my seven years old daughter to spell, it’s by exchanging messages with her.
It’s a great learning, too, and so much fun.

Kimiho→No. Tino could hardly read his message.
Actually, I’m similar as Johan. Even I’m woman, but my hand writing is hardly to read.
When I was young, I tried to practice it many time.
But my effort doesn’t work.
And it makes me shame when I have to write something by hand.
□本文
☆I said I would check with you and then call her back.
※check with 誰々に問い合わせるの意味を表します。
I think Johan a little bit sloppy. He makes his room mess. And he lose something easily.
