日本、世界のおもしろい自動販売機 & Reflection 9

これは日本の面白い自販機の一つです。これでＴ－シャツや靴下を安く買えます。スポーツセンターにありますので売り上げが高いと思います。便利な物ですね！

1. We learned about Japanese vending machines, which are awesome.

2. Probably the reading. I always like those.

3. Doing all the homework, including making my own test.

4. Learning to write all the kanji for the test.

5. Study!

6. I used to have a hard time understanding ほど, but I found that if you replace it with the word まで it makes perfect sense. While まで can't technically be used in many of the situations, the English translated meanings are similar, so it works for me. I think I was confused because the translation "to the extent" sound weird when you substitute it into the sentence. Once I replaced it with made I began to understand its meaning, and now I understand it. Chapter 10 helps a lot too because they use ほど like crazy for some reason.
