SWE 151 Creating a Habit Tracker for August

Если вы изучаете русский язык, то знаете, когда в России празднуют Новый год. Конечно, в ночь с 31 декабря на 1 января. Но есть и другие даты, когда люди в России отмечают приход Нового года.
На территории России живут не только русские.  Здесь живут люди 190 народностей и национальностей. 
Например, в Бурятии живёт много буддистов. В этом регионе России Новый год отмечают два раза. В первый раз — как и во всей стране, в ночь с 31 декабря на 1 января. Второй Новый год празднуют по лунному календарю. Этот день называется Праздник Белого месяца или по-другому - Сагаалган. В 2025 году Сагаалган будут праздновать 1 марта. 
В Татарстане 31 декабря — тоже не единственный праздник Нового года. Весной тут празднуют Навруз.  Это праздник Нового года по солнечному календарю. В 2025 году его будут отмечать 20 марта.
В Республике Саха Новый год издавна празднуют совсем не зимой. Ысыах - праздник в честь божеств Айыы (прародителей народа саха). Для людей это праздник возрождения природы. Ысыах празднуется весной или летом. В последние годы его отмечают 21 июня в день летнего солнцестояния. В эту дату самый длинный день и самая короткая ночь в году.
Как видите, Россия – огромная страна. Здесь можно увидеть и узнать много необычного и интересного.

First and foremost, carefully read the passage or section and understand its main idea and purpose. Pay attention to the overall theme and the information presented. This will help you grasp the essence of the passage and identify the most relevant title.

Next, consider the tone and style of the passage. Is it informative, persuasive, or narrative? This will guide you in choosing a title that accurately reflects the overall tone and style of the passage.

Look for recurring keywords or phrases that capture the central idea or main theme. These keywords often provide clues to help you select an appropriate title. Consider the main points and arguments presented in the passage and choose a title that reflects these key elements.

When selecting a title, think about its broad and inclusive nature. A good title should encapsulate the main idea or purpose of the passage without being too specific or narrow. It should be able to cover the entire content of the passage or section.

Avoid titles that are overly generic or too similar to the headings or subheadings within the passage. Look for titles that capture the uniqueness and distinctiveness of the content. A strong title should entice readers and give them a clear sense of what to expect from the passage.

Pay attention to any contrasting or conflicting ideas presented in the passage. Consider whether the title you choose accurately represents the overall message, even if there are opposing viewpoints or multiple perspectives.

Allocate a specific amount of time for each question and avoid spending too much time deliberating on a single title. If you're uncertain about a title, make an educated guess and move on.

To enhance your skills in answering Choosing a Title questions, practice with a variety of authentic IELTS reading materials. Familiarize yourself with different question formats and expose yourself to diverse topics and writing styles.

Temporada 1 Episodio 21 Futuro en Acción: Expresa tus Planes y Sueños - Vocabulario y Frases en Futuro

In the vocabulary of 'Minna no Nihongo' Chapter 1, there are the words ”きょうし”  and ”せんせい” . Do you understand the difference? Both translate to 'teacher,' but ”きょうし” generally refers to school teachers, with a few exceptions. For example, it does not refer to those who teach at cram schools . On the other hand, ”せんせい” has a broader meaning. At this point in Lesson 1, you might not need to worry too much about it, but I will explain.

Of course, school teachers are included, but also instructors at cram schools, doctors, politicians, and sports instructors can all be called '先生.' In Lesson 17 on page 145, there is a conversation between a doctor and Matsumoto-san, and if Matsumoto-san were to refer to this doctor, they would normally call them “せんせい” not ”いしゃ” , which means ”doctor.”

This might change the subject a bit, but regarding my 'Minna no Nihongo course,' I have created a substantial amount of homework with audio. Just taking lessons alone won't significantly improve your skills. I believe this homework will be quite effective. Of course, it is not mandatory; whether to do it or not depends on the students. 
For those who want to start Japanese lessons but aren’t sure where to begin, please give it a try.

Alright. So everyone, please do your best with Japanese. See you again!
