"Real English 28-momentum"

Right after the new year, in the beginning of January, I had some momentum.  Then, in February and March, I gained momentum.  But recently, because of the rainy season or something, I don't know, I lost momentum.


But I will find a way to get that momentum back.


To get a better feel for how to use "momentum," read the below examples.


1.  The typhoon had tremendous momentum as it approached Okinawa's coast.  Then, it gained momentum as it hit the coast.  After that, heading inland, it lost momentum.


2.  The American Soccer team had the momentum in the first half, but in the second half, it was a different story. (=The American Soccer Team lost momentum and the Japan Soccer Team gained momentum.)
*FYI, this is my prediction for the finals of the Women's Soccer Olympics.  Final score:  America 3, Japan 1.


3.  Recently, the economic recovery has really gained momentum.


On to another topic, it rained A LOT this rainy season.  But soon, the rain will stop, and then the heat and humidity will arrive.  The hints in the below article may be useful!
