Hi! This Monday, I was so sleepy. I fell asleep in my bed when I got home. I forgot to keep on the heater. Next morning, I felt uncomfortable in my throat. At the time, I thought it is no problem so, I went to school. But it was not feeling well. As soon as I arrived home, I majored my temperature. My temperature was 37.8 degrees. I was shocking. So, I quickly changed my warming clothes and took a medicine. Next, I had to make a dinner. I want to not make it long time, I searched recipes that can make easily menu. I made Samgyetang soup with rice cooker. Samgyetang soup is a Korean food that includes a lot of ginger. The aroma of the chicken and the strong, medicinal ginger quickly filled the kitchen. Sipping that piping hot, savory broth was incredibly comforting; it felt like medicine, warmth, and dinner all in one bowl, finally chasing away the chill that had settled deep in my bones. After dinner, I watched a movie in my bed. Recently, I had no time to watch a movie so, I was a little happy that I could watch it. Now, I am just praying for getting better.

Why Is It Difficult to Speak English Even When You Understand It? Many learners face the same challenge: they understand English well when reading or listening, but struggle to speak. This is not unusual — and it has clear explanations. First, listening and reading are receptive skills, while speaking is a productive skill. Understanding requires recognition; speaking requires retrieval, sentence construction, pronunciation, and real-time response. This creates a much higher cognitive load. Second, language anxiety plays a significant role. Fear of making mistakes or being judged often blocks spontaneous speech, even when linguistic knowledge is sufficient. Third, fluency depends on automatization. If learners rarely practice speaking, their knowledge remains theoretical rather than operational. Exposure alone does not develop spontaneous production. Finally, many learners rely on mental translation, which slows speech and increases pressure. How can this be changed? Through consistent, structured speaking practice, the use of common language chunks, and acceptance of errors as a natural part of development. Understanding a language is knowledge. Speaking it is a trained skill.

被英语强烈赋能的感觉真好😃

Last night I went to an early screening of the "Wicked: For Good" movie. It was amazing. I saw it in my state of Kentucky (In the US). Anyone else planning on seeing this movie? I am also a community tutor on Italki. Native English speaker from the US. Been tutoring on Italki since 2018.

😱😳 You're being rude in English...and you have ZERO clue The secret natives never tell you👇

ITZY made a comeback on November 10 with their new song “TUNNEL VISION.” I was very surprised because they had just released the Japanese song “ROCK&ROLL,” so I didn’t expect another comeback so soon. When the teaser came out, it looked really cool, and it made me even more excited for the comeback day. On the day of the comeback, I watched the countdown live at 5 p.m. I enjoyed seeing the members talk about the new song and share some behind-the-scenes stories. At 6 p.m., the music video was finally released, and I watched it right away. Everything in the MV was even cooler than I imagined. The styling, the dance, and the whole concept were amazing. “TUNNEL VISION” instantly became one of my favorite ITZY songs, maybe even the best one for me. ITZY always works so hard and shows strong energy. When I watch them, I feel motivated too. Their hard work inspires me to try my best at school, in my club activities, and in anything I do. ITZY gives me a lot of strength and encouragemeent.
