En el mundo hay 21 países que tienen como lengua oficial el español: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, España, Guatemala, Guinea Ecuatorial, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Uruguay, Perú, Puerto Rico, República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela. Además, en Estados Unidos, el español es un idioma muy importante porque en este país está la segunda comunidad de hispanohablantes más grande del mundo, después de México. También en el Sáhara Occidental (noroeste de África) se habla algo de español, ya que esta zona hubo presencia española  hasta 1976. Y otro dato curioso es que, aunque Estados Unidos y Filipinas no tienen como lengua oficial el español, sí forman parte de la Asociación de Academias de Español.

Hello! I went to Kyoto for sightseeing during May 17th - 19th.
It was one of the most beautiful season in Kyoto, especially green color of new leaves.
I am going to talk about our trip on Kyoto.

What we enjoyed at the last moment of 1st day is Hakusasonso near Ginkakuji temple.

京都旅行第２弾
京都旅行の第一日目の最後は、白沙村荘　橋本関雪記念館でした。
ここ白沙村荘は　日本画家　橋本関雪が住んでいた邸宅です。関雪本人が設計した庭園と建物で、今の形になるまでに、１９１４年から３０年かかっており、広さは10,000㎡あります。
広い庭には大きな池や植木だけでなく、茶室や絵を描くための広いアトリエもあります。庭のどこを切り取っても絵になるように作られています。あまりに見事なので、写真をたくさん撮りましたが、podcastではその写真を見せられないですね。
この広い庭の景色を楽しみながら、ぐるっと庭をめぐっていくと、最後に橋本関雪記念館MUSEUMがあります。今回、行ったときはちょうど橋本関雪　生誕140周年の展示をしているところでした。人物画はもちろん、馬や鷹、猿などの動物が今にも動き出しそうに描かれていました。　鷹の絵のハガキを買って、うちに飾りました。
このミュージアム2階のテラスからは、８月のお盆の「京都五山送り火」で有名な東山が望めます。　東山の頂上から少し下がったところに、炎で「大」の字が大きく描き出されます。残念ながら、私はテレビでしかその様子を見たことがありません。
ところで、ここ白沙村荘から銀閣寺まではすぐです。そのふもとにある「哲学の道」へも５分ほどで行けます。１．５キロメートル続く散歩道は桜の名所として有名です。実は橋本関雪がこの哲学の道沿いに３６０本もの桜を植樹したそうです。私たちがここを訪れたのは５月だったので、桜はありませんでした。　それでも、哲学の道はとてもよかったです。私たちは朝６時に、５月のまだ少しひんやりする朝の空気のなか、　新緑（しんりょく）が輝くこの道を　ゆっくり１時間かけて散歩しました。とても気持ちよかったです。
さて、京都の２日目の朝になったわけですが、この続きはまた次回にお話しますね。

Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”
