Today is a rainy day. I love the sound of the rain and the feeling of a cozy day indoors. Sometimes, I just want to stay inside, drink a hot cup of coffee, and read a book. However, the rain can also be a little inconvenient. You have to carry an umbrella and watch out for all the puddles. But the rain can make the city look beautiful and fresh, especially when it's just a light drizzle. I think rain can give a day a special kind of moody feeling.
(今日は雨の日です。私は雨の音が好きで、家で居心地良く過ごすのが好きです。たまには、ただ家にいて、温かいコーヒーを飲みながら本を読みたい気分になります。でも、雨は少し不便なこともありますね。傘を差さなければならないし、たくさんの水たまりに気をつけなければなりません。でも、特に小雨の時は、雨が街を美しく新鮮に見せてくれます。雨は一日に特別な気分を与えてくれると思います。)
