■ Today's topic: the solar eclipse (Quizlet)

Did you see the solar eclipse yesterday? I went outside at 7:15 a.m. It was cloudy, but I could see a crescent through the clouds. Neighbors started coming out of their houses. Then, at about 7:25, the clouds disappeared. We used special glasses to watch the sun getting smaller and smaller. Finally, we could only see a circle of light around the moon. On my way to work, I kept taking out the glasses and watched the sun come out again. (5月22日号）
