#109 子どもの頃から変わったこと

Hey there English learners, welcome to this episode! Let's get into the fascinating realm of "operate" verbs with Teacher Smith. Ever thought about what it means to "operate up," "operate down," or even "operate away"? Stick around as we unravel the cool and unexpected ways these phrases can shake up their usual meanings!

LEARN BY LISTENING

Phrasal verb-OPERATE

These two words are often confused. Some words in the English language have similar uses, but different meanings. "As" and "like" are two of those words. When studying English grammar, you must be able to understand how to use these words in a proper way. Don't forget to take a test after listening!

"Like" vs. "as": Do you know the difference between the two?

My mom and I take a quiz about American dialects to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.

Несколько советов, что делать в первый день на работе

先週ドイツに帰ってきました。成田空港からフランクフルト空港までの直行便だったのですが、14時間の長いフライトでした。おかげで映画を３本見ることができました。ちなみに、ドイツから日本に帰るときは中国上空を飛ぶルートだったのですが、ドイツに戻るフライトはアメリカ上空を飛ぶルートでした。つまり私はこの2回のフライトで地球をほぼ一周したことになります。
飛行機を降りた瞬間、ドイツの暑さに驚きました。ヨーロッパに熱波が来ているとは聞いてましたが、ここまで暑いとは想像していませんでした。事実、金曜日と土曜日は日本よりも気温が高く、日中は30度を超えていました。今週は気温が下がり、とても涼しくなりました。
もうドイツに帰って来てから1週間経つのですが、まだ時差ぼけがあるので、夜10時ごろにはとても眠くなって寝てしまいます。
みなさんは長時間のフライトの時、飛行機の中でどのように過ごしますか？
時差ぼけにならないためにしている対策はありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。
