All About English and How You Learn It!

Talking About 'Suffering' In English Has Never Been This Easy Before

Which part are you worried about?

I met a student from China who came to prepare for IELTS speaking, and while reading his goal, I picked certain areas from his answer that he wasn't even aware of. 

This was the goal: (I will hide the name, just to illustrate some of my student's goals), so here were his goals:

"My goal is to break through 5.5 in IELTS speaking. I often don't know what to say when communicating, especially during exams, and the answers are a little incoherent and overly nervous."

These were the issues I identified

a) Not knowing what to say (being stuck).
b) During exam fear (most people have 'exams-fear'.
c) Doubting about the answers (whether its correct).
d) Fear, anxiety when communicating.

What about you, do you have some of these concerns? If you said yes - I know how you feel and that's exactly what I am addressing in all of my IELTS speaking classes because the issues are similar in most cases.

Please listen to the podcast and pick what will resonate with you, and join my 1-on-1 VIP classes for your outrageous success in communication improvement whether for IELTS speaking, job interview preparation or business English.

See you in my classes.

Which part are you worried about?

Life's too short to read the small print, right? The small print, sometimes called the "fine print" is the name for the terms and conditions you find on websites, contracts and other documents.

The size of the text is often a little smaller and there can be quite a lot of it. For these reasons, some of us don't read it all — even though we know it can be very important.

A company from the UK decided to test how many people really do read the small print.

The company, called Tax Policy Associates, hid a little surprise in the privacy policy on its website, offering to send a nice bottle of wine to anyone who read it.

It was the idea of company founder Dan Neidle. He wrote in the policy: "We will send a bottle of good wine to the first person to read this."

The policy was posted online in February, but the company was only contacted about the wine in May!

He told the BBC that it was a "childish protest" because "all businesses have to have a privacy policy" even though no one reads them.

Neidle added: "Every tiny coffee shop has to have a privacy policy on their website, it's crazy."

He said that the person who found the sentence about the wine had been writing their own privacy policy, and they were looking for examples.

That lucky person was sent a bottle of French red wine and the sentence offering the free wine has now been taken out of the policy!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今僕たちは、アジア旅行に来ています。
約1か月の旅行中です。
4つの国に行きます。

シンガポール
マレーシア
ベトナム
タイ

です。


月曜までマレーシアにいました。
今回のPodcastでは、マレーシアの良いところを5つあげます！


・みんな笑ってくれる
　店の人やセキュリティの人、サービススタッフの人など、目が合うとにこっと笑ってくれます。オープンで親しみやすい感じがします。

・ヒジャブを身につけている女性が多い
　マレーシアは64%の人がイスラム教だそうです。ですので、ヒジャブを頭にまいている女性をたくさん見ます。日本ではなかなか見かけないので、とても新鮮な印象です。

・セキュリティの人がいるので安心
　アパートメントやモール、スーパーなど、いろんなところに必ずセキュリティの人が何人かいます。もちろん、変な人もいないですが、セキュリティの人がいるととても安心できます。

・いろんな文化が混ざっている
　マレー系、中華系、インド系の人たちの歴史、文化がミックスされた形で、今のマレーシアがあることを知りました。違うものが当たり前にそこにあることで、共存することも自然のように感じました。

・電車がきれい
　比較的新しくできた電車やモノレールはとてもきれいです。駅もきれいだし、電車の中もきれいです。ただ行きたい場所にすっと行けるわけではないです。遠回りで時間がかかるので、結局grabタクシーを使う人が多いような気がします。


こんな感じでした！

違う国にいくと、いろんなことに気づくことができて楽しいですね。シンガポールとマレーシアは日本よりも赤道に近いですが、気温は日本より低く、むし暑くなかったです。

日本の夏は本当に暑いと思います。
日本にいる方は、昼外に出る時、気をつけてくださいね！

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！
