You'll never believe what happened to me on the Yamanote Line a few years back. When I was getting off the train, an older man next to me took hold of 2 straps, hoisted himself up like an olympic gymnast and made a perfect turn. It was a pretty unforgettable experience. Thanks for another great video, Nick .🤗

Hello Nick. I really like this topic! I’d like to share my episode. When I was a new employee, something embarrassing happened. All employees were taking part in a 6-day training camp except me. I started taking part in the camp on the third day because of a Buddhist memorial service. After work, I was too exhausted to talk with co-workers, so I went to the bathroom alone to take a quick shower. When I took off my clothes and contact lens in the dressing room, I heard someone was a taking shower in the bathroom. I didn’t care if others were there because I used to live in a dorm for 6 years. I entered the bathroom which steam was rising. Meanwhile, the person who had just finished taking a shower turned around and shouted. “ Oh, no! What are you doing here! “ I couldn’t see her clearly without my contacts, but I was sure the person was a man! He was my boss. Actually, I mixed up the men’s bathroom with the women’s bathroom. I said “I’m so sorry, sir!” And ran away as fast as possible. It was the most embarrassing moment in my life so far.

My son was about five years old , something interesting happened. We were shopping some clothes and kitchen stuffs and so on. We went to the cashier to pay the last bill and paid by the credit card. The woman at the register asked me to sign the bill. My son who was watching us whispered to me, "You're famous, aren't you?" I thought What he was talking about? But after a while I realized that my son thought she wanted my autograph! , so I said "Yes, I am! I'm a famous person!" He was surprised and gave me a look of respect. It was a lovely memory.
Something lucky happened. When I was making country bread at home, the dough was overfermented and became muddy and sticky. I had no choice but to flatten it, form it into focaccia, and bake it. Surprisingly, my family who ate it praised it as delicious. ニック先生のおっしゃる通りで、母国語でも自分から語り始めるのが苦手な私は、英語の雑談となると貝のように口を開きません。飛行機に乗った時、隣にフレンドリーな外国の方が座っていて話かけられても、微笑みとyesで終わってしまったこと多々ありです。なので今回の動画、大変役立に立ちます。

Something interesting happened while I was on a pilgrimage to temples in Shikoku. As I was crossing the mountain pass, an old woman came up to me. She gave me some sweets and mentioned that she had been waiting for pilgrims recently. As it was raining last time, she couldn’t catch up to a pilgrim. I felt grateful and thanked her. I realized that this was a tradition in Shikoku and felt fortunate to be able to make this trip.

Thank you for your grate lesson! Last week, Something dangerous happened. I was riding my motorbike far from my home town. I had never been to the town. So I was looking around to find right direction. After traffic light changed, I started to run, but the car in front of me was breaking just after started. I couldn’t stop immediately and I hit a car in front of me. I apologized a women who was driving the car. The woman watched a point I hit and she said”Oh, It is just a small collision. I don’t mind. No problem ”.I said “I pay for repairing” but, she said “I don’t need. Good bye.” This is my story meeting a kind person.
Thank you for your grateful teaching, and I pushed the bell following your advice. A: What were you doing when the earthquake hit? B: I was writing a sentence in my house. A: What did you do then? B: I went under the disk immediately because this earthquake scared me. Someday, I hope to learn English details from you for working abroad as a researcher, but I have to write hard to make the tuition now.
Yesterday, I was thinking about plantnig Pentas flowers next summer(my mather's favorite pretty little flower with pentagon shape flowers of clasters), I found the one glooming well through the carwindow. What a nice day I don't have to waite until next season.

あまりに面白かったので許可なく勝手に作ってみました。ごめんなさい。 I saw something funny on the train. An older man was sitting and a girl student was standing in front of him. She dropped a little white handkerchief on his pants. She hesitated to pick up it. Suddenly he woke up and put it into his pants. Maybe he thought it was his underwear. She could do nothing.
素晴らしいビデオでした。Hi, Nick. Allow me today to give a comment in English. This video of yours has impressed me a lot. I've been seeing many of your videos already and I thought I was a rather advanced learner of English. And earlier today someone recommended this particular video to a forum of Japanese learners of English that I often attend. Then I began to watch it. Having heard the introduction to today's input of yours, I had assumed that I would be hearing what I already knew well already. I was wrong. I learned something important. Yes, I had suspected that natives use the English constructions of past progressive and simple past in the way you described, but my understanding was still a bit vague, not completely structured. You've beautifully explained all the hitherto-ambiguous points that I had in mind. 本当に、どうもありがとうございました。これからも、よろしくお願い致します。

She said “We are drinking another pub after dinner so I’m going to back home little later tonight ”. Then I went to bed. But I was getting up morning and she didn’t go home yet. I super surprised 🙀. I got up my husband and called her cellphone but she didn’t answer. I was looking for her by iPhone and she came home. She said that we had all-nighter Karaoke then. I relieved to see and hear that. But I told her what you should’ve texted me if you changed the plans. It was a surprising and good experience things for us.

I am not sure if you like this episode but if you like it, please use it for your project. I did something stupid the other day. I was swamped with my work all day long. My manager was finishing work and I noticed I was supposed to submit the report and receipt for my business trip to him before he left. So, I did it in hurry. On the next day, I was working as usual and he came to my desk smiling. I felt something wired. He gave the receipt back to me saying he couldn't accept it. I looked at it and understood why it was. I had accidentally handed in the receipt of my grocery shopping instead of one of the business trip. It was so embarrassing.

When my sister was a high school student , my mother made a bento-lunch box for her every day. One day, my sister was opening her bento lid as usual and closed it in a second. Because there were only Odens in it! Her friends were sorry for her. She said to me 'I was so so so embarrassed at that time.' After that, she started cooking for her bento. It's not my story ,but my family are still talking about her story.
I heard something sweet today. A staff and I were talking each other. She suddenly told me that our boss would not close our office because of me. That made me happy.

Something upset happened when I was traveling alone to San Francisco last year. When I was at a flea market, and I was leaving, the Wi-fi went out. So, I couldn’t call an Uber. There was no station or bus stop nearby. So, I was at a loss what to do. But I didn't have time to worry about it.
