Today I will be discussing sleep from a holistic point of view.  We all know that sleep is so important for our, mental and physical health as well as how we perform. Did you know it also plays a big part in our immune system, longevity, and even our skin?

旅館の　朝ごはんと　私が　いつも　食べる　朝ごはんは　まったく　ちがいます。どんな　朝ごはんを　食べているでしょうか。焼きそばパンってどんなパンでしょうか。
The breakfast I usually eat is completely different from one at the Ryokan-Japanese style hotel. What do you think I eat for breakfast? What kind of bread is Yakisoba-pan?

Il Natale è la festa più importante per gli italiani, come per molti paesi del mondo occidentale. È una festa spesso dedicata alla famiglia, quindi in quei giorni ci si ritrova insieme a tutti i parenti.
L’albero di Natale si fa qualche settimana prima. In alcune città d’Italia si fa 28 giorni prima del Natale, in altre si fa l’8 dicembre, che è la festa dell’Immacolata.
La festa vera però inizia la sera della Vigilia, cioè del 24 dicembre. In questa occasione le famiglie si riuniscono per il Cenone di Natale. Si imbandisce una tavola piena di cibo tipico, che in Italia cambia da regione a regione! Infatti ogni città ha le proprie tradizioni e i propri piatti e sarebbe impossibile elencarli tutti.
L’unica cosa che tutti gli italiani hanno in comune è l’abbondanza di cibo, di vino e di dolci. Dopo il cenone si scambiano i regali o si gioca a carte o a qualche gioco di società per stare insieme. Le famiglie più religiose a mezzanotte vanno a messa, cioè in chiesa. Le persone più giovani a volte escono con gli amici per farsi gli auguri.
Il giorno dopo, il 25 dicembre, è il Natale. Come festeggiano gli italiani il giorno di Natale? Mangiando di nuovo, naturalmente. Si fa un grande pranzo e si passa il pomeriggio tutti insieme. Alcune persone vanno a trovare i parenti, altre escono a fare una passeggiata. Chi abita nelle città del Nord Italia può andare a visitare i mercatini di Natale, che non esistono al Sud.
Noi italiani abbiamo sempre voglia di festeggiare e così le celebrazioni continuano anche il 26 dicembre, giorno di Santo Stefano. In questa giornata è tipico andare a fare attività fuori casa: andare a pattinare o andare al cinema con gli amici e spesso si mangiano gli avanzi dei giorni precedenti.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today, I want to talk about how to take better photos with your cell phone, with your mobile phone. Now, it doesn't matter if you have an iPhone or an Android phone, like a Samsung or Google Pixel or whatever Android phone you have. These techniques will all apply and they will all help you take better photos.

So let's begin. Number one, make sure that you have enough storage on your phone so that you can take photos. Now, I know that I have this problem all the time. I don't have enough storage space and so then I don't take the photo because I don't want to take up space. So do yourself a favor and back your photos up to the cloud or back up to an external device and make sure you have enough space to take the photo in the first place.

Number two is to carry a portable battery charger. So if your phone doesn't have power, you can't take photos. So carry just a little USB charger with your phone. All right. We're almost ready to actually begin taking photos.  So here we go for the actual taking photos. Clean your lens. So your phone lens will get oils off of your finger.
And that will make the images less clear and more blurry. So clean your lens. It can be with a t- shirt or whatever, but always, always, always clean your lens before you take photos with your phone.


Number two, when you take a picture, choose the hero of your photo. So that doesn't even if it's just taking a picture of your food where you've had what you're having for dinner. Choose whatever is the most important item on the plate. And make that your hero. So if that's your steak or if it's a piece of asparagus, make that the center of attention for the video.
It doesn't have to be in the dead center, but it should be the main subject. And that's also with a person. Sorry text count limit

--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
Step 4: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
