Today, we will be using Student Times and Catch A Wave magazines for reading about news in English.

Catch a Wave has audio for its articles here .


I read The Japan Times of FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2007.
The headline is Old woman saved from freezing by dog .
A 73 years old woman who is suffering from dementia had gone missing on December 5, but thanks to a dog’s body temperature helps her life.
The news moved me deeply because a dog saved a human. So, I became feeling to want to give something to eat the dog.
