I had a part-time job today. I like my coworkers, but I don’t like the job description. I always work in front of hot plates. My job is bake Japanese “Wagashi.” It’s Taiyaki. I like to eat it, but I don’t like it make. I always sweaty when I have a part-time job. I want to start new part-time job with my friends. But I started this job in June. So, I can’t quit my job yet.. I have a job to go to the concert. I will go to Saitama and Fukuoka. I can do my best for this. I want to go to the concert soon!

Speaking of entertainment apps, I have a lot to say. This noon, when I drove my car to my office, I saw a woman who stood in the middle of the road and watched some interesting things on her phone, then laughed a lot. It's really dangerous to do that, but I guess that something in her phone was really attractive. It's definitely a socialmedia app that provided short videos, games or other entertainments. Among these apps, Tik Tok may be the most popular one. People can post their own works whenever and whereever. Just to choose some of your pictures and make a video in several seconds with a model which you like, then post it online and receive many likes from your friends and strangers. It's really convenient forboth young people and elderly. Most of them dream of being famous suddenly one day ,because one of their videos gets a million thumbs-up.

What do you struggle with the most in regards to speaking American English with native English speakers? Is it coming up with words to say? It's pronouncing them clearly so your listener can fully understand? Is it saying enough so you don't sound limited or be able to give enough variety in your responses so you don't sound repetitive? Is it phrasal verbs? Do you use them? Do you understand them? Do you know how many there are? What about your confidence? Do you second guess yourself when you speak English? Do you have a lot of 'ums' and 'uhs' when you speak American English? Do you repeat words and phrases? Do you have long pauses in between your words and phrases? Do you translate in your head before you say it? Do you depend on translating? Do you say the bare minimum which is only the few things you know how to say but if someone asks you to 'say more.' you'd have difficulty? Are you not really sure where you struggle? Have you ever had someone from the United States... a tutor or teacher really judge your speaking and give you feedback?
