A new arbor was built in the park.

He is my best friend and a fellow for a long time.

He is obstinate, and once he decides something, he rarely changes it.

I made a teru teru bozu so that it wouldn't rain.

He is a 'shimagaijin', so he is not yet accustomed to the island's customs.

He determined the direction using a magnetic compass.

My favorite fruit is a pear.

He was elected as the new Prime Minister of Japan.

He claims to have met an alien.

Do you think modern man relies too much on technology?
