大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【朋友】的话题。
提到朋友，很多人会第一时间想到美剧Friends，中文是《老友记》。这是一部陪伴很多人青春的经典美剧，很多中国人通过看《老友记》学习英语。我记得上大学的时候，大家经常在宿舍看美剧，其中《老友记》是最受欢迎的。我们喜欢它，是因为我们羡慕他们那样珍贵的友情和爱情。
在中国有一首关于友情的歌，很多人去KTV都会唱。那就是《朋友》，我们来听一下吧。
《朋友》
朋友一生一起走，那些日子不再有
一句话，一辈子
一生情，一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过，一声朋友你会懂
还有伤，还有痛
还要走，还有我

朋友是我们生命中很重要的存在，在中文里面有很多关于朋友的古话。“在家靠父母，出门靠朋友。”意思是我们在家里的时候有父母照顾我们，我们可以依靠父母。我们离开家的时候，有朋友帮助，我们可以依靠朋友。
小时候，我们会在给朋友的卡片上写“友谊天长地久”，希望我们的友谊永远都在。长大后我们发现，不是所有的友谊都能天长地久。因为人是会变的，可能我们生活的环境不一样了，可能我们的想法不一样了。不管怎么样，我们都应该好好珍惜每一段友谊。
你最好的朋友是谁呢？你们认识多久了？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Improving your IELTS Speaking score from a band 5 to a band 7 requires targeted practice in several key areas: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Here’s a breakdown of steps to take in each.

1. Enhance Fluency and Coherence: Band 5 speakers often struggle to speak fluidly and with clear connections between ideas. To improve, practice speaking on various topics for 1-2 minutes without pauses. Use transition words like "however," "on the other hand," or "in addition" to link ideas smoothly. Regular practice on platforms like language exchange apps can help.

2. Expand Vocabulary: Limited vocabulary often holds back Band 5 speakers. Aim to learn 5-10 new words daily, focusing on synonyms and expressions you can apply to multiple topics, such as work, travel, or family. Create mind maps on topics that frequently come up in IELTS, like "environment" or "technology," and practice speaking on each one.

3. Improve Pronunciation: Pronunciation errors are common at Band 5. Focus on getting each sound right, as well as on stress and intonation, to sound more natural. Listen to native speakers through podcasts or videos, and practice mimicking their tone and rhythm. Recording and replaying your responses is also helpful.

Master Grammar: A Band 7 requires control over complex sentence structures. Practice combining ideas into longer sentences using connectors like “although,” “since,” and “despite.” Working with a tutor or using grammar apps can help you understand and apply complex grammar structures correctly.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN4です！
今回もよく使う、〜かもしれない、をします！
予想したことを話す時に使います。あまり確実ではないことを話す時に使いますね。もう少し確実な時はーでしょう、とかになります。

早速、例文いきましょう！

・急げば学校に間にあうかもしれません。

・あの店はおいしそうだけど、高いかもしれない。

・夜、外に出るのは危険かもしれない

・熱があるから、もしかしたら病気かもしれない。

・たしかに、そうかもしれない。

こんな感じです！
本当はどうかわからないけど、そういう可能性がある時、そんな気がする時に使いますね。

レッスンでもよく使います。

みなさんも一緒に練習したり、例文を作ったりしてみてください！

このPodcastを聴くと、日本語のことがよくわかるかもしれないですよ！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
