Listen to me reading a news article about education in the UK from my Conversational English course. 

T-levels are a new type of exam course that was rolled out in the UK in 2020. T-Levels are two-year vocational courses taken after GCSEs, which focus on subjects like education, construction and IT, and include a work placement.

How to Give Directions: A Beginner's Guide

Sam is a meteor from outer space. After leaving his homeland orbit, Sam was pulled towards the nearest large planet. When entering Earth’s atmosphere, he faced so much resistance. This created extremely high temperatures which burned away layers and layers of his body. As a result, Sam, who used to be giant when floating in space, became so little that he could fit in a fisherman’s hand.
 
The overwhelming amount of pain Sam suffered as a result of his entry caused him to fall into a deep state of unconsciousness. When Sam struck the Earth, he was fast asleep. 

Waking up and opening his eyes, Sam sees nothing but a vast cloudless blue sky. An enormous wave of peace and serenity washes over him. He is like a newborn baby experiencing the wonder and mystery of life for the first time. For a few moments, this serene blueness the only mental phenomenon swimming around his meteor consciousness. Seconds later, questions appear. 

Where am I? What happened? What comes next?

Due to his traumatic experience, Sam has lost all memory of his life before coming to Earth. He rolls over and looks down the beach. There are some large laughing figures running around, chasing a flying red disk. Further away there are two large ones holding long boards under their arms while walking into the water. Closer to Sam, there are several little figures picking up other rocks and showing each other. 

“Wow, look at that one!” says one of the little boys. “It looks like emerald. With a little bit of sapphire too!” 

I wish that those boys will pick me up and take me with them… I want to explore, to see precisely what life on Earth has to offer…

“Come quick!” yells one of the boys, eagerly running straight to Sam. “Look at this one! It’s so strange and ugly, but fascinating at the same time!” 

“Grab it, quick! Before mom sees!” 

A distant voice calls for the two children to return to the family car. “Boys, we’re going now. Hurry up.”

げんき、第１課36ページ、かいわより。 リスニングとリーディングのれんしゅうです。私が言ったあと、リピートしてください。 2かいめは少しはやいです。 
It‘ｓ for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんき１, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time. 
这是为了你的听力和阅读练习。 即使你有课本，也不要读　げんき１、跟着我重复。 我第二次说得快一点。 

もしあなたが中級（ちゅうきゅう）でも、いいれんしゅうになると思います。 
It should still be good practice even if you are an intermediate-level student. 
即使您是 N4 或以上级别的学生也很有用。

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

Visiting a Windmill (with transcript)

When we see English learning as a vocation, we are required to change our thinking. To see ourselves as having positive visions of the future instead of negative affirmations of how bad our English is.
