I went to a university yesterday to see a lecturer. Actually, I didn’t go there to talk to him. I wanted to talk to his students and tell them about the Jaremaga university essay contest. When I left the university, the wind was blowing, and the skies were cloudy. The high temperature was 7 degrees lower than the day before yesterday. Yellow leaves were falling from the ginkgo trees, and the students who were leaving held their coats tightly so that they could keep out the cold. When I got back home, I wanted something hot to drink. Hot tea and coffee are okay, but yesterday I wanted something that would really keep me warm inside. My wife made a hot sweet rice drink called “amazake” for me. It was perfect. It really hit the spot!    (136 words)
