Recently, I have become really into watching movies, anime, and dramas on Netflix because of my friends. There are so many things I want to watch, so it’s really hard to choose. I especially like horror and mystery stories, so I often ask my friends to recommend movies they like. I think it’s really fun to talk about movies together. The most touching movie I have seen recently is Weathering With You. I had never watched it before, but my friend recommended it, so we watched it together. The story was very beautiful and emotional, and I was really moved by it. After watching it, I became more interested in other anime movies too. I realized that anime can express many deep emotions and beautiful scenes. Now I want to watch more movies and anime in my free time. Watching them helps me relax and also gives me new ideas and feelings.

Native English speakers, please help me out I got into an argument about wether it’s ok to say “I think yes” and “I think no” in English. Here’s my opponent’s comment: (It's possible either way. Native speakers use both versions, understand each other perfectly, and so on. There's no definitive rule here. Yes, it would be a mistake when writing complex texts and official essays and in various exams, but in spoken language it doesn't matter. Even in the IELTS speaking section, both versions are accepted). Is it really so? I usually hear people say “I think so/I don’t think so”, am I wrong?

Good morning everyone! Lately, I've been studying hard for the TOEIC test. There are so many words to memorize that it's tough to stay focused, but I'm using vocabulary apps and listening to English songs to improve my listening skills. Whenever I come across an unfamiliar word, I make sure to look it up in the dictionary right away. I also often watch YouTube videos by people sharing TOEIC study methods, which are really helpful. Sometimes I get tired, but I want to keep pushing myself to get a high score. I hope all my hard work pays off on test day.

Being able to talk on a wide variety of topics is really helpful for getting a higher mark on the IELTS test. In this podcast I will help you to form opinions and ideas for Speaking Part 3 and Writing Part 2. You can also book a private lesson with me on my profile. Hope to see you in a lesson soon!

🇨🇳🤔 Why Don’t Chinese Say “No” Directly? If you’ve ever tried making plans with Chinese friends, you might notice something interesting: instead of saying “no,” they often say things like: “Maybe later…” “I’ll think about it.” “It might be difficult.” It can feel confusing if you’re used to direct communication — but in China, this isn’t rudeness. It’s culture. Chinese people value harmony and relationships over blunt honesty. Saying “no” directly might hurt someone’s feelings or create conflict. So instead, they use gentle, indirect ways to decline while keeping the relationship intact. 💡 Takeaway: Understanding this cultural nuance is key to building strong friendships and avoiding misunderstandings. In China, saying “no” politely is actually a way of showing care and respect. #ChineseCulture #CrossCulturalCommunication #LearnChinese #CulturalInsights

English students, try this! Topic: Verb to be

I work part-time at a cram school. Students are very kind. So I like this job. But I troubled two days ago. I telephoned the student's parent. She was very angry and had a hard time dealing with it. Why was she angry? Because her daughter forgot to submit her documents, and she thought her daughter couldn’t get high scores of tests.She said that "You are unreliable!"I was so shocked. I was angry, but I endured it and responded calmly. I think it was a very hard day. But now I think it's a good social experience. It can be tough, but it's a very challenging part-time job. I will continue to do my best!
