・（選び出すのは）とても難しいと思いました・・・こういう場合に私たちならthinkしか思い浮かびませんがfindを使うと上手な英語に見えます。
・お手許に届く予定です・・・will be ～ingは予定されたことを表す英語です。be going to と同じと言えば同じですが。微妙な違いはこれから出会うたびに味わっていくとわかります。

The 2021 Jaremaga Essay Contest
I have a special message about the 2021 Jaremaga Essay Contest. We asked junior high school and high school students to send us funny or heart-warming stories, and this year we received more than 500! I enjoyed reading all of them. Because they were all so good, we found it very difficult to choose the best essays from each of the two groups. I would like to thank the other two judges, Kitahara Nobuaki and Nakanishi Tetsuhiko, for their help in making the selections. I will start sending out the 15 stories we have chosen today. You will be receiving the stories every Thursday, Friday and Saturday until the beginning of March. You will get the first one right after this message. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

★応募作に学びたい英語
・頼まれた通りにした・・・こういう英語をサラッといえるといいですね。
・洗濯機を回す・・・こういう時にrunが使えますね。
・見当たらない・・・missやmissing、このように上手に使いたいですね。
High School Essay, 1st Prize: Where’s the Remote Control?

One day, my mother asked me to wash the bedding in the washing machine. I did as I was asked. While I was running the washing machine, I went back to my bedroom. I tried to turn on the heater, but the remote control for the air conditioner was missing. Just then I heard a strange sound from the washing machine. I thought, “No way!” and nervously opened the washing machine. It was inside. I was washing the remote control as well as the bedding. But it was too late….
