U kadeřníka/kadeřnice 

In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.

005 Sports Memories

Alcohol is a leading cause of cancer, a risk that should be clearly labeled on drinks Americans consume, the top doctor in the US has said.

The US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy made the proposal as research and evidence mounts about the effects that alcohol has on human health.

His suggestion for a label would require approval from the US Congress.

Americans should be better informed about the link between alcohol and cancer, in particular, Murthy argues, noting that alcohol consumption was to blame for nearly one million preventable cancer cases in the US over the last decade.

About 20,000 people die every year from those alcohol-related cancer cases, he said.

Bottles of beer, wine and liquor already carry warning labels that say pregnant women should not drink alcohol and that alcohol consumption can impair a person's ability to drive a car.

But Murthy's proposed label would go even further, raising awareness about the risk for cancer, too.

"It's pretty crazy that there's a lot more information on a can of peas than on a bottle of whiskey," said Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.

"Consumers have the right to basic information about health risks, serving size and drinks per container."

Consuming alcohol raises the risk of developing at least seven types of cancer, including liver, breast and throat cancer, research has found.

Murthy said that as a person's alcohol consumption goes up, so does the risk for developing those illnesses.

However, it's unlikely that Congress would act quickly to enact a new warning on alcohol products.

It's been nearly four decades since Congress approved the first government warning label on alcohol and no updates have been made since then.

Any effort to add a cancer warning label to alcohol would face significant pushback from a well-funded and powerful beverage industry, which spends nearly $30 million every year lobbying Congress.

Why Do Americans Hate the Sound 'T'?

Have you heard Americans do this? Check these words for more ideas:

Silent T- The letter T is not pronounced in some words (you need a dictionary to learn which words):

castle
whistle
chestnut
Christmas
fasten
listen
often

(With T)

soften
mortgage
mustn’t
thistle
mistletoe…

(In the cluster TCH)

catch
watch
kitchen

Final T in many modern words with a French origin:

beret
ballet
buffet
chalet
gourmet
valet
depot
debut… (the final French -et is pronounced /eɪ/ )

I hope it brings more clarity and check my classes types for more information on how I can help you privately.

こんにちは、なぎさです。
朝から、ずっと雨がふっているなーと思っていたら、梅雨入りが発表(はっぴょう)されました。

話したこと🗣
こんにちは、なぎさです。
6月6日、関東甲信地方で梅雨入りしたと発表されました。
梅雨は、「ばいう」ともいいます。梅雨は6月にたくさん雨がふることです。梅雨入りは、梅雨の季節に入ること、梅雨がはじまることです。
梅雨には雨がたくさんふります。せんたくもの🧺が乾(かわ)きません。こまります。
でも、梅雨の季節には、紫陽花(あじさい)と花菖蒲(はなしょうぶ)という花がさきます。どちらも、きれいな花です。
みなさんは、梅雨に何をしますか？
雨がふりますから、家の中で本を読んだり、勉強したりするのもいいかもしれません。
でも、逆に、お気に入りの傘(かさ)をもって、おでかけするのはどうでしょう？紫陽花や花菖蒲を見に行くのもいいと思います。
それでは、またね～。
