第1209期:Japanese Life

Todd: OK. I'm back here with Kanade.

Kanade: Yes.

Todd: So Kanade, why don't you talk about where you're from.

Kanade: OK. I'm from Akita, which is Northern Japan. And there is a lot of mountains and you can see changing color in the fall and in my home Yashima town, there are only six thousand people in there and there is a waterfall called "Hotonedake", which is the best one hundred fall in Japan.

Todd: Wow! That's cool.

Kanade: Yeah, Cool!

Todd: So you've seen it?

Kanade: Yes!

Todd: So how high is this amazing waterfall?

Kanade: Uh, I don't really know. It's really big.
Todd: Really. So is it famous because it's really tall or causes it's really wide?

Kanade: Could be both.

Todd: Oh really, that's a big waterfall. OK. When is the last time you went home?Kanade: Last week.

Todd: Uh-huh. Really? Both you're parents still live there?

Kanade: Yes.

Todd: OK. And were your parents born there?

Kanade: Yes, but different town. My father is from Yashima, the same hometown, the same home as my home, but my mom is from Nigaho, the next town from Yashima.

Todd: Oh, OK. Do you have a lot of childhood memories?

Kanade: Yes. Actually but my dad was really busy, so my mom took me. Took me many, many places...as a child.

Todd: Oh, that's sweet. Well, you're a good daughter.
Kanade: I think so. Yeah.

Todd: OK. Thanks a lot.
