Hi everyone! As part of my short reading series, here’s another simple text to help you practise your English. As always, there are some questions at the end for you to think about. Trying Something New A few weeks ago, John decided to try something new. He had always wanted to learn how to cook, but he often felt too busy or unsure where to start. One evening, he found a simple recipe online for shepherd's pie and decided to give it a try. At first, he made a few mistakes. He forgot some ingredients and cooked the food for too long. However, he didn’t give up. The next day, he tried again. This time, he followed the recipe more carefully and took his time. The result was much better, and he felt proud of himself. Now, John cooks several times a week. He says that trying something new was not as difficult as he expected, and it has become something he really enjoys. Do you enjoy cooking? Is there an English dish you would like to try? Comprehension Questions 1. What did John want to learn? 2. Why did he not start earlier? 3. What mistakes did he make the first time? 4. What did he do differently the second time? 5. How does he feel about cooking now? If you enjoyed this, feel free to share your answers or get in touch if you’d like to practise together 🙂

I’m sleepy now, but I need to post to italki for assignment. Probably, if I wanna post next morning, I’ll forget to do this. So I posted now.

नमस्ते 🙏😊 "In India, we start our day with a hot cup of 'Chai, Do you like tea or coffee? Tell me in the comments in Hindi/ Marathi! "Want to learn more such interesting things?

Hello everyone today I got up at 8 am. First today I have Italian class in my university it’s so difficult for me. I will do my best to understand it. Second after the university I have to go to part time job. It’s very tired.

Fifty six customers came at my part time job, so I was really tired yesterday. After that, I went bowling with people from work. I was doing well at first, but I couldn’t knock down any pins at the end. But it was very fun because I had hardly ever went bowling before.

I went to university today and learned about war and history.

These days, I think Time flies because I realized that all the topics are memories of the past When I talk with my high school friends. It is often said that As I get older, time seems to go by faster. This words really resonate with me now.

Good evening, I had a part-time job today. It was Sunday, so it was very busy.

I came across an interesting article online about a house built by 3D printer. So, I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points here. An innovative technology, which we build a house with a printer, has recently been attracting a lot of attention in the construction industry. The house is called "3D printer houses" and it is said that the technology defies conventional wisdom. The start-up company in the United States built a house with 3D printer in Russia in 2017 and it was the world's first. The total floor area of the house was 38 square meters. It only took 24 hours to complete and only costed about 10 thousands dollars. The 3D printer was huge and installed directly in the construction site. It also only needed two operators. The way to build a house formed a shape by stacking concrete with layer by layer. As a side note, the roof and windows were set by people. That's why 3D printer house has some benefits as follows 1) A construction speed is extremely fast: Conventional construction takes a few months to complete a framework, but 3D printer houses only takes a day. 2) A cost is much cheaper: It can lower material costs and don't need much manpower. 3) Design is flexible: A printer allows construction to form complicated curve and free shape. 4) A house uses concrete materials and is durable : It is strong against fire, strong wing and torrential rain. However, the artcle said a construction in Japan needs to follow the Japanese Building Standards Act. As of now, it's highly unlikely that a 3D printer house gets an approval. On top of that, Japan is prone to earthquakes and a 3D printer house needs further improvement for that in the future. I think the cost of many things including materials has drastically raise. That should be tough for young generation and is making hard to build a house. That's why I really hope this method will expand in Japan in the near future.
