Protagonist vs. Antagonist

A un lupo era rimasto un osso in gola e poichè stava soffocando chiese aiuto a una gru, promettendole una ricompensa. Il lupo, però, non terrà fede alla sua parola e la gru imparerà che non bisogna fidarsi dei disonesti.

1 minute exercise 2 improve speaking

Can you improve your speaking in one minute? 

Certainly not, however, if you do it daily for the duration of 90 days (not 21day) but 90, you'll get great at 

a) expressing your thoughts
b) will ad various vocabulary which may or may not be relevant
c) you'll develop new neural pathways in your brain that will set forth new patterns of behaviour making you more special in your unique way.

Give it a try, help yourself, there is no one else to do it but you, right?

If not now then when, If not me then who?

Enjoy it and come over to be trained by me personally. I help adults to improve their confidence and get my students learn to (THINK) in English, not to learn the language itself!

忘年会　1年間の苦労を忘れるためにする宴会のこと
私にとっての忘年会は、周りの人や無事に過ごせた1年への感謝の会です。
おいしい料理やおいしいお酒をたくさん食べます。
今年は3回忘年会をしました。一つは　第九を歌う会の忘年会、もう一つは中学時代の友だちとした忘年会、そして　３つめは　いつものメンバーとする忘年会。これは私の家でします。
会社員だったころの忘年会は、会社の人や取引先の人としていました。これは、1年間お世話になりました。仕事、大変でしたね。お疲れ様でした。来年もよろしくお願いしますという感じの忘年会でした。
今年はもう一つ、ちょっと違う「ぼうねんかい」がありました。それは、忘れる忘年会ではなく、望む「望年会（ぼうねんかい）」でした。来年はどんな年にしたいかという望みを話す会でした。その願いが叶ったとして話をする面白い会でした。
