Ep.55 消しゴムの思い出🍑🐰✏️

In this introductory episode, I’ll explain how this podcast will go beyond dictionary definitions and challenge the idea that two words can actually have exactly the same meaning.

I’m your host Emma, an Italki teacher with four years’ experience in editing and teaching writing skills. I’m bringing my passion for the intricacies of the English language to this podcast, where I’ll explain the subtle, pragmatic differences between a pair of synonyms each week. 

This might mean, for example, that one of the two words is more formal than the other, or creates more of a negative meaning, or has specific connotations that mean it’s only suitable for a certain topic, or level, or audience.

So, when you’re writing your next email, chapter, letter, or essay, you can feel confident that you’re choosing the perfect word for the situation.

So, get your magnifying glass and join me on this investigation into vocabularly!

WTO总干事表示，当前全球经济前景黯淡，同时也充满不确定性，但今年全球贸易增长可能比预期更快。但同时预计今年全球货物贸易将仅增长1%，较2022年3.5%的增幅大幅放缓。未来出现其他结果也是有可能的，这取决于俄乌冲突的进展、中国的重新开放，以及各大央行收紧货币政策的力度。WTO警告称，不要只与盟友进行贸易，这将阻碍全球经济的增长。这样做的代价将很严重。
