Everyday Conversational Phrases

Another part 2 topic for the Summer. I also have part 3 example answers on my website.


“Well, as I live in a very busy city, I sometimes really need to escape the noise, and crowds, as well as finding a place where I can just chill out and relax in peace.  My favourite place to go is a small cafe which is about 3 kilometres from my home, and only takes me about 10 minutes to get to on my motorbike. The cafe is located in the suburbs on an extremely beautiful lake, surrounded by many different kinds of trees, and is a world apart from the busy city centre.

 

I try to go there at least 3 or 4 times a week, and usually bring my laptop with me, as I find I can be very productive in this peaceful environment, and get lots of work done, in a short space of time. I love being able to sit at a quiet table outside on a perfect sunny day, with the many trees to shade me from the hot sun. I’m also able to sit right on the bank of the lake, with a view which is out of this world.

 

I guess the main reason I love to go to this place is because it’s just so quiet and peaceful, and I can get away from all the noise, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city centre, which sometimes drives me crazy. Another reason I like to go to this place is that I find the tranquil environment really, both inspires and motivates me in my work….. And I’m able to be much more productive than I would be if sitting in a noisy office or a busy city centre coffee shop. So…yea, this is a quiet place i love to go to.

When we talk about Lionel Messi, it's easy to talk about numbers. He has been named the best men's player in the world eight times. He has won one World Cup, four European Champions League trophies and an Olympic gold medal.

He has scored more than 800 goals for his clubs and his country.

But these numbers only tell some of the story. It's also his balance, the way he moves his feet, slides the ball through another player's legs and finds space on the field.

Soccer is often called "the beautiful game," and for many people, no one has ever played it quite as beautifully as Messi.

His story began in Rosario, Argentina, where he was born in 1987. There, when he was a child, he played for a club called Newell's Old Boys.

Clubs around the world soon heard about the young star in South America, and aged 13 he moved with his family to Spain, where he joined FC Barcelona's junior team.

By the age of 16, he was already playing for the club's adult team. Goals, then trophies, came quickly, and he never looked back.

He was soon a global star, and one of the world's highest paid sportspeople.

Messi left Barcelona in 2021, having scored more goals for the club than anyone else. He joined Paris Saint-Germain, and then, two years later, Inter Miami in the US.

In 2022, he was Argentina's captain and the star player in his country's World Cup win. Messi, at just 170 centimeters tall, had become a giant of the sport.

A Giant of the Sport: The Lionel Messi Story

こんばんは！Atsushiです。

和食文化について話します。
みなさんは箸を使ったことがありますか？
もしくは、今使っていますか？

日本人は、小さいころは箸の持ち方を注意されるなど、箸の作法は家族の中で教えられることが多いと思います。

今回は、箸の使い方で気をつけてほしいものをピックアップしてお話しします。


嫌い箸
移り箸ー一旦取りかけてから、他の料理を取る
迷い箸ーどれを取ろうか、料理の上で箸を動かすこと
渡し箸ーご飯の途中で箸を食器の上に置くこと
寄せ箸ー料理の入った器を箸で寄せること
刺し箸ー料理に箸を刺すこと
指し箸ー食事中に箸で人をさすこと


などがあります。
細かく分類すると、もっとたくさんあるみたいですが、今日はこれだけにしておきます。

日本の文化は独特ですが、覚えておくと、日本人とのコミュニケーションが少しスムーズになるかもしれませんね。

みなさんの国では、食べる時に気をつけることは何かありますか？よければオンラインでお話しましょう！

ということで今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
