Confusing words  (A2 - Elementary)

Confusing words - hear, listen

Воскресенье - последний день отдыха! 

Всем привет! Вот, сегодня воскресенье - последний выходной практически для всех. А кто-то работает в воскресенье. Есть люди, которые работают в воскресенье. 
Но всё же я надеюсь, что в этот день вы хорошо отдохнули, хорошо провели время в кругу семьи или с друзьями, или даже наедине с собой. И сегодня я написала для вас небольшой текст. 


Внизу я оставлю мой текст, который я написала для вас, чтобы вам было легче понимать. Пока вы слушаете, вы можете всегда пройтись глазами по тексту, прочитать текст, чтобы вам было понятно. 
Ну что, приступим, начнём, как говорится. 


Сегодня воскресенье и это значит, что сегодня последний день отдыха. Обычно я не работаю много в этот день, хотя иногда я провожу уроки утром и вечером. 
Сегодня я встала очень поздно, потому что вчера вечером смотрела американский сериал "Калейдоскоп ужасов". Мне очень нравится смотреть ужастики. 
Потом я вспомнила, что у меня закончились продукты  и пошла в магазин. Обычно я никогда не делаю список того, что надо купить. Но в этот раз я забыла купить овощи. Когда я пришла домой, уже было 3 часа. Я приготовила обед и потом решила немножко отдохнуть. 
Сейчас я вяжу новый свитер. Кто не знает, мне очень нравится вязать.  А как проходит ваше воскресенье?

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.
