“A winner never quits.”
These words were said by Peter Gray. His dream was to be a professional baseball player. When he was six, he lost his right arm in an accident. Even though he lost his arm, he never quit practicing very hard. Finally, he became a professional baseball player; his dream came true.
Last year, I thought of leaving Kendo club because I didn’t win any matches. At that time, his words crossed my mind. I was encouraged by them. I remember his words when I am in trouble.

[HS]1-What could you do if you could speak English?
Pictograms
More and more people learn to speak English as it has become one of the most spoken languages in the world. Yet, what would you do when you need to communicate with someone who does not speak the same language? In that situation, visual information could help you.
One man from Switzerland made a unique T-shirt with pictograms. Pictograms are images that are used to represent different information. The shirt he made has 40 pictograms that are necessary during travel. He got this idea when he traveled to Vietnam. His motorbike broke down when he was roaming around the countryside. He needed to ask for help from the locals, but they did not share a common language. Drawing pictures on a paper became his only means of communication.
For foreign visitors, visual information like pictograms is helpful. Look around and you will find pictograms easily.
