Every one of these mistakes will take you further away from achieving your dream score. So listen now, learn what the mistakes are, and gain some practical advice on how to avoid making them in your English lessons, in your daily conversations, and in your own Speaking test.

My English is poor” - Breaking Free: Step 3 (Episode 396)

Unlock Your Potential: The Essential Element for Confident Communication

Welcome to episode three of our series on transforming the belief “My English is poor.” Today, we’re going a step further.

My goal is to open up a world of possibilities, helping you imagine the difference a new perspective on your English can make.

How will your feelings shift? How will you perceive the world differently? How will your experiences change?

This is an essential step in developing a powerful, resilient belief – a bulletproof vessel against negativity – creating a structure that makes you more confident and assured.

If you’re finding this difficult, consider my VIP training. It’s designed to save you a great deal on continued learning costs, because without a shift in your core beliefs, a level of underlying dissatisfaction in yourself and in your English will always remain.

My English is poor” - Breaking Free: Step 3 (Episode 396)

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.
