Всё прекрасное на земле – от солнца, и всё хорошее – от  человека. (М. Пришвин)

Бескорыстие – отсутствие личной выгоды, нежелание 
награды за добрые дела.
Заметить (что?) – увидеть.
Достать (что? откуда?) – взять

みなさん、おはようございます。
今日の東京は雨です。気温が少し低めで、蒸し暑いです。

ところで、皆さんは朝ごはんに何を食べていますか。
世界中に住んでいる皆さんは、朝からどんなものを食べているのかなと興味深いです。

我が家の朝ごはんは、パンが多いです。菓子パンも食べますが、食パンが多いです。
食パンにチョコレートペーストやジャムをぬったりして、食べています。
私と主人は食パン、ヨーグルト、そして季節のフルーツというのが朝ごはんの定番メニューです。もちろん、コーヒーも飲みます。
息子は、食パンを2枚ぐらい食べていますね。フルーツもたくさん食べています。彼はヨーグルトは食べずに大きなグラスに牛乳一杯入れて飲んでいます。
娘はＴＫＧ（たまごかけごはん）が大好きで、朝から「ＴＫＧ食べたい」と言って、一人違うメニューを食べています。日本人は生卵を食べるんですよ。
でも、今朝は昨日ブルーベリージャムを一緒に作ったので、食パンをトーストしてジャムをぬって食べていました。
そう、昨日ブルーベリージャムを作ったんです。今年は我が家のブルーベリーが豊作（ほうさく）だったんです。いつも少ししか実がならないので、ジャムを作るほどでもないのですが、今年はジャムができるほど実（み）がなったんです。
ジャムの作り方は、ＹｏｕＴｕｂｅで検索しましたよ。甘酸（あまず）っぱいブルーベリージャムができました。

では、今日も良い一日でありますように。

※
➀食パン：日本ではよく食べられているパンです。
②TKG（たまごかけごはん）：白いご飯に生卵と醤油（しょうゆ）を入れて食べます。

Describe an invention that changed how people's life - IELTS speaking








Describe an invention that changed how people’s life


You should say:

What it was
When it was invented
How people use it

And explain how it has changed peoples lives






“I think the one invention that has really changed how we live in recent years has to be the smartphone, which really has become an integral part of so many people's lives, as well as an item that most people feel they can’t live without.

I guess the smartphone as we know it today was invented by Apple, and hit the mass market back in about 2007 or 8, which really broke new ground and launched a mobile revolution, quickly becoming the one piece of technology everybody wanted to own.

I think the first way the smartphone changed peoples lives was in how it literally put the internet in everyone's pocket, and completely revolutionised the mobile industry. On top of that, it also put a good camera in our pockets, and made us all aspiring photographers overnight, which also led to a huge rise in the different social media platforms.

I really believe that the smartphone and the apps that go with it changed so much in our lives, even the way people work today, and the way we do business. From posting selfies on facebook and online shopping to work related emails or communication the smartphone really has revolutionised just about everybody's life, from the ordinary joe bloggs to the business bigwigs.

Thank you.”

Today we are talking about how to ask people out or more specifically, how to invite others to do different activities. Karen introduced some of the coolest ways to accept and reject those invitations as well. Let’s dig in!

我的星期六
昨天是星期六，上午我和爸爸、妈妈去商店买东西，我们买了衣服、菜、水果、也买了八个杯子，杯子很小很漂亮。我很喜欢。商店前面有一个宠物医院，很多人带着小狗去看医生。我的同学也在那儿，我问他，这是你的小狗吗？我的同学说“是的，它叫钱钱，它昨天和今天不吃也不喝，我希望钱钱好起来。”
下午下雨了，我和爸爸、妈妈在家里。爸爸看书，妈妈看电视，我学习汉语。我喜欢学汉语，你呢？

My Saturday

A gift from my heart to your heart! A guided meditation to help you relax, release and connect with your inner self...

For a teacher and a student. Something we can all benefit from and I use it every day :)

It's something unusual for a teacher to do, I know.

But I am not a normal teacher. I am interested in psychology, coaching, meditation, exploring the invisible. 

Today I'd like to share with you something I've come to realise after 14 years of my own personal & professional development - learning from the world's top teachers and something I've gathered from over 18,000 one-on-one coaching sessions with my students that I've successfully helped.

This is something I have done for my private students, but in today's meditation I had an idea to share it with the Italki community. 

Please allow my guided meditation to help you relax, feel comfortable in your skin and trust your inner instrument, the Dao WIthin, to take you where you need to go.

Let your Higher Self be your guide and my voice is the transmission mechanism to your Higher Self.

Feel good now.
