三. 日記

Today is a sunny day. I took part in a subjective evaluation of sound quality of headphones. And one thing touched me very much. An old expert is more than 80 years old, and he had stomach cancer last year. Fortunately, he is in good health through the operation. Today, we were the last to finish the test. When he went home by taxi, he insisted on taking me along on that one, because it's too hot. I'm pretty thankful for that.
