Peggio e meglio 

In this week's episode of English In A Teacup,  we will be learning vocabulary related to the topic of crime and punishment as well as the structure of the third conditional when talking about hypothetical situations.

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP E9: CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

こんにちは。
今日は自動詞と他動詞の意味の区別について説明します。
Today I will discuss the distinction between the meanings of transitive and intransitive verbs.

ルール１
(自動詞は「を」がつかない）
　例：ドアが閉まる。
　例：パソコンがつく。 
（他動詞は「を」がつく）
　例：ドアを閉める。
　例：パソコンをつける。
他動詞は結果、自動詞は原因です。
➀ドアを閉める。（原因）　ドアが閉まる。（結果）
　「私がドアを閉める」
　→ドアが閉まる。
②パソコンをつける。（原因）パソコンがつく。（結果）
　「私がパソコンをつける」
　→パソコンがつく。

例外が２つあります。
「を」がつく自動詞があります。Intransitive verbs with 「を」(exception)

１．
例１）空港を出発する。
例２）家を出る。
※「を」の意味は起点です。起点はスターティングポイントです。（「を」representing a starting point）
２．
例１）公園を歩く。
例２）橋を渡る。
※「を」は経路を表します。経路はルートです。（「を」for a route)

ルール２
他動詞のペアがない自動詞➀ (Only intransitive verb)
例１：雨が降（ふ）った。
例２：花が咲（さ）いた。
例３：今夜は月が明るく輝（かがや）いている。
自然に起こることを表しています。（indicates a state occurs natural)

他動詞のペアがない自動詞② (Only intransitive verb)
例１：子どもたちはいすに座った。
（子どもが座る）
例２：飛行機が空を飛んでいる。
　　　（飛行機が飛ぶ）
人や物への働きかけがない動作を表しています。
（Refers to an action that does not have any impelling effected on other people or things）
例１：子どもたちはいすに座った。
（子どもが座る）
例２：飛行機が空を飛んでいる。
　　　（飛行機が飛ぶ）
（Refers to an action that does not have any impelling effected on other people or things)
ルール３　自動詞がない動詞（only transitive verb）
例１：先生が子どもをしかった。
（Teacher scolded the child.）
例２：私はリーさんに仕事を頼んだ。
（I asked Mr Lee to do the job.）
これらは、人や物への働きがある動作を表しています。
（refers to an action that has some impelling effect on other people or things)
例１：先生が子どもをしかった。
（Teacher scolded the child.）
例２：私はリーさんに仕事を頼んだ。
（I asked Mr Lee to do the job.）

Today we're talking about work like balance. This is one of the most important topics that we discuss with our colleagues and friends so today I want to give you some vocabulary and ideas to make you more confident and fluent when speaking about this subject. Maybe you want to ask your boss if you can work from home, or maybe you're trying to protect your time and stop working on weekends! Hopefully today's podcast can give you some tools, tips, and ideas for how to do this. We'll talk about some natural and native ways to talk about your journey to and from work and negotiating for more time when scheduling deadlines. Also, if you're taking the IELTS or TOEIC tests, hopefully you'll find some useful, natural, and native sounding vocabulary here too that can improve your score.
