Mini Exercise: “Which Version of You Spoke Today?” Take 30 seconds and answer this one question: “When I last spoke English under pressure… which version of me showed up?” Was it the one who: rushed, over-explained, searched for perfect words, or tried to sound “correct”? Now ask yourself: “Which version did I want to show up instead?” Write down only one sentence describing that version. That’s it. This small reflection reveals more about your English under pressure than any grammar exercise ever could.

Why do you want to be a volunteer tutor? for the past several years, I have been working for a non-profit company. the population we serve is diverse. but the majority is Latino and Spanish speakers. I gained the CELT-P (Certificate in English Language Teaching – Primary) after several after teaching practices in a classroom. I have a great deal of contact with the learners. part of my responsibility is to contact learners. I teach with the help of Translate. some of the Learners are illiterate, so I also teach with the pictures or videos. but I can only help with basic English and teach online; English is not my native language.

A while ago, it was thought that the only solution for carbon neutral is electric vehicles(EV) as next generation vehicles. So, many car makers have gathered resources and focused on developing them and already commercialized some EVs. However, they have faced some problems such as their way too high price, short driving range, lack of infrastructures and the long wait to charge them. Because of this, they haven't been spreading all over the world than people expected. On the other hand, hybrid vehicles(HEV), PHEV(plug in hybrid) and extended range electric vehicles(EVER) are getting popular because their prices are affordable and they have capability for long cruising range. That's why many car makers had to pivot their focus to them as well. So, a huge increase of cost has taken a toll on them. Horse Powertrain, which is a joint venture between Renault and Greely, plans to provide the solution called "Future Hybrid Concept Power Train" for this kind of issue. They officially announced that at Auto Shanghai in 2025. Long story short, they can install this new hybrid power train with current EV to without redesigning current EV platform and can change EV to HEV and so on even though each car type needs a bit adjustment. On top of that, this train are also applicable on ethanol engine, methanol one as well as gasoline one. They are going to release the train in 2028 and I'm looking forward to it.

Today we are having a meal with my parents and siblings to celebrate our parents birthdays. Having siblings is great for the family because more people means more fun.

A teacher asked me if I would go back to work at that place. I said I wouldn't work there anymore, actually. she said it was good, because the last time she had seen me I looked really tired and sleepy. I didn't even open my eyes properly. She even thought that I might be going through depression or something like that. Indeed, when I was stressed and threatened last year, I met a musician who played piano for different churches who said that she would pray for me. I said maybe they just had sympathy for me, but really encouraged me and helped me survive in darkness. she said, no, not only they had sympathy for you, but God guided you into that situation. then she gave me the example of Balaam and His Donkey. then I realized losing that job was a blessing in disguise. 12 Years a Slave; enough was enough. working is good, but trying to do something that is too difficult or too much is not necessary.

Adjective orders!

I contacted them, but unfortunately, she just told me that I was banned and did not do anything helpful.

To help children get used to taking an online English class, I might give them a small reward as encouragement. Today, just like last week, I took them to their English class, I really hope they start enjoying learning English.

Today I’ like to talk about my enjoy winter memory. I went to amusement park called Yomiuri land Amusement Park in Tokyo with my friend. The illumination events are held in winter, with countless lights beautifully lit up. This is very beautiful so it’s popular with young couples. First, we took a lot of roller coasters. The speed was very high, so we screamed very big voice. My favorite one is the water roller coaster. They recommend wearing a raincoat, but I decided to skip it. I got drenched, but honestly, it made the experience even more memorable. I was little cold because the temperature was cold. We ate Takoyaki and Rice ball with meat at a festival stall. They were very hot and delicious. At night, the light-up began, and the area is glowing beautifully. We took many pictures. I took a gondola ride on the way to the station. The view was fantastic from there.
