It was sunny today. Since it was Dad’s first day at the gym, Mom had asked me to look after him. I explained how to use the treadmills and the access control system. As I expected, he didn’t last long on the treadmill. I usually go for sets of a quarter-hour at five miles per hour, but that seemed too challenging for him. He had to start easy first. I hope he can catch up quickly and do more than just walk on it. Anyway, it was a great start!

March 17, 2025 Do you know Banh Mi ? It’s a sandwich from Vietnam that vegetable and meat are put in stick-bread. I went to a restaurant near my workplace for lunch and ordered it. It was so good and more than I expected. The baked bread was crunch outside, but inside is chewy. Meat tasted good and it had some coriander. I highly recommend you eat it!

It's really important to protect our environment because it can impact not only our health but also it ruins the nature of beauty. In order to protect the environment, firstly, we should stop using plastic and try to use the items that are environmentally friendly. For instance when we go shopping, we should use tote bags instead of using plastic. We can't cut back on using plastic immediately but we can reduce using them. Secondly, when we throw trash we need to throw it systematically. It would be best if we recycle the trash instead of burning it. Otherwise, we had better plant trees so that we can eliminate air pollution. To sum it up, I'd say that if we do these kinds of things the world will be a better place not only for us but also for our next generations.

Hello How atr are you

I have ...... a terrible mistake. . A. made B. done

Fun reading exercise and discussion. :) Answer the discussion questions in the comments! A Japanese sake maker wants to do something new. Asahi Shuzo plans to send sake ingredients into space. The company will try to make a special sake on the International Space Station. The company makes the popular sake drink "Dassai." One 100-milliliter bottle will be offered for sale on Earth if the plan works. The bottle will cost 100 million yen. The person in charge of the plan is not sure if it will succeed. He thinks space will be too different from Earth. The sake will not be heated the right way. The company paid money to try making sake in space. It will use part of the International Space Station made by Japan. Japan's space agency would not comment on the project. Discussion Questions: Is this a waste of time and resources ? Do you think he will be successful? Would anyone pay 100 million yen for a bottle of sake?

A common mistake in English is using *"I am agree"* instead of *"I agree."* Why it's wrong: In English, "agree" is a verb, and we don't need the verb "am" before it. Correct:0p- *I agree0.* (This is the correct sentence.) Why the mistake happens: This mistake happens because in some languages (like French or Spanish), the verb "to be" is used with certain verbs in the present tense, but in English, "agree" doesn’t require an auxiliary verb.
