2009.05.07(Review of 2006.06.06 edition)
Welcome back! Thanks to Golden Week, our usual five-day week has shrunk to a mere two days. So what better time to take a second look at this edition from a few years back!
Today's expression includes the word “compress,” which means to squeeze something into a smaller space. For example, we compress large files so they can be sent by e-mail more easily. Now imagine what would happen if you compressed your working hours into fewer days ...
