Snow !! Snow !! again

Yesterday, It snowed again in our town.
I gave up though I tried to make a snowman.
Because it was very cold in outside.
I do not like cold season.
But,,,, I love to play in the snow.

There is "Snow" in a traditional winter song in Japan.
The dog runs with pleasure at snowing about the outside according to this song.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut, my watchdog was in the house all day long.
Are you a dog?????

Yesterday was "Setsubun". (On 3rd Feb.)
I ate "Ehoumaki".
It was very delicious.

Meaning of Japanese Kanji

There are 5 foreigners in our office now.
The common language of our company is English.
But, we use Japanese when we send mail to Japanese and we speak with Japanese.
I am sometimes questioned by foreigner's colleague about meaning of Japansese kanji.
I was the science course..... I do not know a lot of Kanji.
In my new electronic dictionary is including a Japanese dictionary!!!!!
It is very useful for me in our office.
Can you explain the meaning of Japanese kanji below?

・流石(Sasuga)・・・This kanji is not read as "Nagareishi" .
・五月雨式(Samidare-shiki)・・・This kanji is not read as "gogatsuame-shiki".
・御足労(Gosokurou)・・・This kanji is not read as "Oashirou" .

English Training

My TOEIC training class finished last Friday.
I found some English training courses in my working company.
Our company has various English training courses.
Of course, we have the conversation course.
But, This conversation course do not open the class in a small office.
If I want to entry to this course, I have to find 3 people of same English level in this office.
But, the average of TOEIC score of our group is 700 points or more.
This average point of my group is always calculated excluding me.
So, I cannot find the person at the same level in this office.
And, my company has the course of e-Learning.
This course has 3 courses. (over all course, TOEIC training course and writing course.)
All employees in our company can entry these courses.
But, I cannot entory these courses.
Because I do not have a personal computer in my house.
Maybe, I am unlucky girl.

Motomenai

I read "Motomenai " last night. Motomenai means "Do not desire".
This book was written by Shouzou Kashima, published by Shougakukan.
I borrowed this book from my English classmate.
(Thank you Kana!!)
This book will tell us about people can become happy by not wanting.
But..... I desire to speak English very well.
