He is a very shy person in real life.

After the earthquake, we were forced to live in evacuation shelters.

His standard of living has improved significantly.

My cost of living is increasing every month.

He was born as an illegitimate child and experienced many difficulties.

My grandfather used to till his privately-owned rice field.

Using the private railway makes commuting very convenient.

We respect Japanese culture.

We are going on a trip tomorrow.

He holds a personal grudge against me.
