Every summer is hot, but this year feels especially hot.  The humidity in Japan at this time of year is something that I have trouble getting used to.  Back home in Chicago, our summers can get quite hot, but the humidity isn’t so high.  I’ve lived here for more than twelve years, and I’m still not used to it!  

Summer is a time when people go out and play, and during summer vacation there are lots of events for students.  At Hello!s we will be holding our annual English Days in August.  While these events are quite fun, it’s important to remember to stay hydrated and take breaks from any activities when you start to feel tired or hot.  

I hope everyone has a happy and safe summer!  Drink lots of water!
