The difference between partnerships and relationships? 

FLO TALKS 

지난 주말에 친구와 함께 공원에 갔습니다. 날씨가 아주 맑고 따뜻해서 사람들이 많았습니다. 우리는 먼저 편의점에 들러서 음료수와 과자를 샀습니다. 그리고 공원 벤치에 앉아서 이야기를 나누었습니다.

친구는 요즘 회사 일이 바쁘다고 했습니다. 그래서 스트레스를 많이 받는다고 했습니다. 저는 친구에게 운동을 추천했습니다. 운동을 하면 스트레스가 줄어들고 몸도 건강해진다고 말했습니다.

이야기를 나눈 후, 우리는 공원 안에 있는 산책로를 걸었습니다. 걷는 동안 꽃이 많이 피어 있어서 사진도 찍었습니다. 특히 노란 개나리가 예뻤습니다. 또, 자전거를 타는 사람들과 강아지를 산책시키는 사람들도 많았습니다.

공원 구경을 마친 후, 근처에 있는 맛집에 가서 점심을 먹었습니다. 우리는 김치찌개와 불고기를 주문했습니다. 음식이 정말 맛있었고, 양도 많았습니다. 친구도 만족해했습니다.

이렇게 즐거운 주말을 보내고 나니 기분이 아주 좋았습니다. 다음 주말에도 날씨가 좋으면 다른 공원에 가고 싶습니다.

EVERYONE'S DOING THEM!
If you search the internet you will discover that workshops are a teaching opportunity that isn't focused on marketing, whereas webinars are built to teach and sell at the same time. It's a lot more about training and learning than it is about selling, but there will always be a pitch at the end of a webinar.

Then there are seminars...
An in-person seminar is more or less dependent on attendees' ability to physically attend the event, so there haven't been many of them during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been problematic for some businesses but it has gone some way towards reducing carbon footprints.

Wikipedia has defined these 2 event types individually:

A seminar is ‘a meeting held for the exchange of useful information by members of a common business community.’

A webinar is 'an interactive seminar conducted via the World Wide Web. Usually a live presentation, lecture, or workshop that happens in real-time, as users participate through chatting, video-chatting, file-sharing, or asking questions with a microphone.’

Time for a masterclass!
Workshops progress from theory to practice, with a focus on grasping key tools or skills. Masterclasses are specialized classes in which students attain their learning objectives via in-depth practice and thorough guidance.

More than half of Japanese children spend at least one hour every day playing video games.

That's according to a 2022 survey by Japanese internet company Nifty Corporation.

Twenty-four percent of kids said they play for between one and two hours a day. Thirteen percent said they play for between two and three hours, and 17% reported playing three hours or more.

Only 9% said they do not play at all.

More than 2,300 elementary and junior high school children took part in the survey, which was done in September and October of 2022.

Almost 80% said they usually play video games alone. When they do play with others, they more often play with people online than with someone else in the room.

Parents in Japan have spoken of their concerns about the amount of time their children spend playing video games. In 2020, Kagawa prefecture said people under 20 should limit their time spent playing video games to one hour per day during the week and 90 minutes on weekends.

The Nifty survey also asked children about rules in their homes for playing video games.

Fifty-three percent said they have time limits for playing, with 44% saying they can only play after they have finished their other tasks.

One in five of the children surveyed said they are not allowed to play with strangers online, and more than half are not allowed to spend money when playing online games.
