EP.6 台灣的中秋節為什麼烤肉? Why do people BBQ on Moon festival in Taiwan?

In questo episodio parlo brevemente della tendenza umana di chiedersi il perché delle cose, 
nello studio delle lingue non credo che questo sia di grande aiuto, sapere perché in giapponese il verbo segue il complemento oggetto invece di anticiparlo, non necessariamente migliora le nostre abilità linguistiche in giapponese, ciò che è importante invece è NOTARE e sapere che il verbo va a fine frase e non il perché questo accada.

How to learn a foreign language? Stop asking Why

There are many different ways to learn a second language, from taking classes to reading books or even using an app. But one way has been proven more effective than the others; language immersion. 

Have you used language immersion to learn a new language? Let me know in the comment section.

NOVEMBER COMPETITION!
We all know how difficult it can be to stay motivated when learning languages, so this month, English In A Teacup is holding a little competition for its listeners. The winners of the competition will get a personal shout out on the podcast and will also get to decide the next topic for Season 2 of my podcast coming out in December. 
To join, send me a message on italki and I will send you the form to fill in. 
In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we will be continuing with the topic of inversions as well as learning how to write letters.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who will be writing her own letter to a travel agency to complain about her holiday from hell. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

EP7: MAKING A COMPLAINT (B2-C2)

Sam is a meteor from outer space. After leaving his homeland orbit, Sam was pulled towards the nearest large planet. When entering Earth’s atmosphere, he faced so much resistance. This created extremely high temperatures which burned away layers and layers of his body. As a result, Sam, who used to be giant when floating in space, became so little that he could fit in a fisherman’s hand.
 
The overwhelming amount of pain Sam suffered as a result of his entry caused him to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness. When Sam struck the Earth, he was fast asleep. 

Waking up and opening his eyes, Sam sees nothing but a vast cloudless blue sky. An enormous wave of peace and serenity washes over him. He is like a newborn baby experiencing the wonder and mystery of life for the first time. For a few moments, this serene blueness the only mental phenomenon swimming around his meteor consciousness. Seconds later, questions appear. 

Where am I? What happened? What comes next?

Due to his traumatic experience, Sam has lost all memory of his life before coming to Earth. He rolls over and looks down the beach. There are some large laughing figures running around, chasing a flying red disk. Further away there are two large ones holding long boards under their arms while walking into the water. Closer to Sam, there are several little figures picking up other rocks and showing each other. 

“Wow, look at that one!” says one of the little boys. “It looks like emerald. With a little bit of sapphire too!” 

I wish that those boys will pick me up and take me with them… I want to explore, to see precisely what life on Earth has to offer…

“Come quick!” yells one of the boys, eagerly running straight to Sam. “Look at this one! It’s so strange and ugly, but fascinating at the same time!” 

“Grab it, quick! Before mom sees!” 

A distant voice calls for the two children to return to the family car. “Boys, we’re going now. Hurry up.”
