昨日きのう、会かい社しゃで前まえ田ださんがめがねをかけているのを初はじめて見みました。「あれ、目めが悪わるかったんですか。」と聞きくと、「いや、パソコン用ようめがねだよ。」というのです。「何なにですか、それ。」と言いうと、「えっ、知しらないの。」と驚おどろかれてしまいました。このめがねは、パソコンから出でている青あおい光ひかりから目めを守まもってくれて、パソコンが見みやすくなるのだそうです。前まえ田ださんは、私わたしと同おなじ課かの今いま川がわさんも持もっていると教おしえてくれました。

昼ひる休やすみに今いま川がわさんのパソコン用ようめがねをかけさせてもらいました。今いま川がわさんのはレンズに色いろがついていましたが、かけてみると、パソコンがとても見みやすく感かんじました。これは、普ふ通つうのサングラスとしても使つかえるのだそうです。私わたしはまぶしい光ひかりが苦にが手てなので、外がい出しゅつするときにはいつもサングラスを持もち歩あるいています。こんな便べん利りなものなら、ぜひ私わたしもこれと同おなじものを買かいたいと思おもいました。

今いま川がわさんがお店みせの場ば所しょを教おしえてくれたので、今こん度どの日にち曜よう日びに買かいに行いくつもりです。
