春はもうすぐ？

Today we're talking about a professional piece of vocabulary that we can use to talk about ourselves in a critical way, especially in the form of a jokes. This is "self-deprecating". Take a listen to today's episode of the podcast for a full explanation and I hope you find it useful!

Don't forget that if you're an international professional who want's to improve the way they use English at work then I help people like you every day, right here on iTalki. Feel free to book some of my time and let's get to work!

DAILY Business English VOCABULARY builder

I'm really bad at making podcasts!

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.

How Jet Lag Affects More than Just Your Sleep

مَرْحَباً, كَيْفَ الْحَال؟ 
مَرْحَباً أَناَ بِخَيْر وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّه,وَأَنْت؟ كَيْفَ الْحَال؟
نَعَم أَنَا بِخَيْر أَيْضاً, شُكْراً. مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتِ؟ 
أَنَا مِنْ سُورْيَا مِنْ مَدِينَة دِمَشْق. وَأَنْت؟ هَل أَنْتَ عَرَبِيّ؟
أَنَا عَرَبِيّ مِنْ مِصْر. 
مِنْ مِصْر؟ مِنْ أَيِّ مَدِينَة؟ 
مِنْ الْقاَهِرَة
طَيِّب, مَعَ السَّلاَمَة أَحْمَد
الى اللِّقَاء لَطِيفَة

In this episode 10 of English on the road, we discuss an article on which countries can claim to be the oldest in the world. I hope this podcast allows you to practice your English listening and comprehension.

The podcast begins with some vocabulary which is important to the topic, then we read the article and answer some discussion questions. 

The article is from a website called engoo which has many free English learning materials. I highly recommend checking this out if you want to study English independently or with a tutor. 

Thank you for listening and I hope you have a great day!
