I want to talk to you about two very often confused words advice and advise. 
Advice. 
- Advice is a noun, an uncountable noun.It is spelled a-d-v-i-c-e. The ‘c’ sounds like an ‘s’. Advice. It is used to mean a suggestion about what you should do. 
Advise
- 
Advise is spelled a-d-v-i-s-e, and is a verb. The ‘s’ sounds like a ‘z’. Advise. It means to suggest what should be done, to recommend or to give information to someone. 
The main difference between advice and advise is the grammar.  So obviously, you can't use a noun in the place of a verb or a verb in the place of a noun. So if you know which is which and which pronunciation goes with which, you will never get it wrong. But a big problem is with advice being uncountable. So many times I hear, can I give you an advice? No no… it to give me a piece of advice or some advice - depending on whether you mean something singular or plural.
In theory it is very simple to understand, but if you don’t pay attention to learning the rules it can make a  big difference to you getting it right or wrong in Business English.
Every day, I hear so many advanced speakers who use these words wrong. So have a look, learn it, fix it, never get it wrong again. That's it today. Bye.

在高速行驶的火车上，有一位老人不小心把刚买的新鞋从窗口掉下去一只，周围的人都觉得很可惜。没想到老人把另一只鞋也从窗口扔了出去。他的行为让周围的人感到很吃惊。

这时候，老人笑着解释说：“剩下的那只鞋无论多么好，多么贵，多么适合我穿，可对我来说已经没有一点儿用处了。我把它扔了出去，就有人可能捡到一双鞋子，说不定他还可以穿呢?

这些词语您明白吗？

On the high-speed train, an old man accidentally dropped one of his newly bought shoes from the window, which made everyone around feel very sorry. 
Unexpectedly, the old man threw another shoe out of the window. His behavior surprised the people around him. 
At this time, the old man explained with a smile, "the remaining shoe, no matter how good, how expensive, and how suitable for me, is of no use to me. If I throw it out, someone may pick up a pair of shoes, maybe he can still wear it!"

MARGARET: Mr. Wilson, I’d like you to meet 
Dr. Edward Smith.
MR. WILSON: It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.
DR. SMITH: Pleasure to meet you, too.
MARGARET: Dr. Smith is an economist. He just finished
writing a book on international trade.
MR. WILSON: Oh? That’s my field, too. I work for the 
United Nations.
DR. SMITH: In the Development Program, by any chance?
MR. WILSON: Yes. How did you guess?
DR. SMITH: I’ve read your articles on technical assistance. 
They’re excellent

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Mr. Wilson, I’d like you … Notice the rising intonation on “Mr. Wilson,” which is used 
to address someone. Listen for the “d” in “I’d like.” This means I would like, which is 
very different from I like. (“I’d like” means the same as “I would like” or “I want.”)
• Dr. Smith is an economist. Notice the stress on “economist.” This content word has 
new information, so it is emphasized. There are four syllables in “economist,” with the 
stress on the second syllable (e-CON-o-mist).
• He just finished writing … “just” means the very recent past. “Just” is usually used 
with a simple past verb because the action is complete. However, it can also be used 
with the present perfect (He’s just finished writing …).
• Development program. Since these two words make a compound noun, the main 
stress falls on “development.”
• By any chance? Means the same as “possibly.” Notice the rising intonation, which is 
used in yes/no questions to confirm that something is true.

Las fábulas de Esopo - El lobo con piel de oveja

Hello! I went to Kyoto for sightseeing during May 17th - 19th.
It was one of the most beautiful season in Kyoto, especially green color of new leaves.
I am going to talk about our trip on Kyoto. 

On the first day at Kyoto, we went Heian Jingu and Shin-en, which is a traditional Japanese garden.  We can see some flowers like Shobu, Has, and Kouhone.  They are so beautiful.

After that, we enjoy Ochabana, which is a kind of flower arrangement in Japanese style.
Master gave us some tips for Ochabana.  That is Subtraction and triangle. To throw out the extras. 

Our trip goes on and on. I'll tell you the rest later.  Thank you so much.

新緑の５月　京都を旅行しました。
５月１７日から１９日の三日間の京都観光についてお話します。
今回は　第１日目
１０時　平安神宮に集合
平安神宮は平安遷都（へいあんせんと）1100年を記念して、明治28年に遷都（せんと）のおや神様である第50代桓武天皇（かんむてんのう）をご祭神（さいしん）として建てられました。
JR京都駅からバスで約３０分　　赤い大きな鳥居が目印です。
１０：３０　神苑（しんえん）
33,000㎡の広さの日本庭園。5月の見ごろは　菖蒲（しょうぶ）、蓮（はす）、コウホネの花です。
１１：１０　お茶花体験
日本の華道と海外のフラワーアレンジメントの違いを知りました。
フラワーアレンジメントは、足し算（たしざん）で作るのに対して、日本の華道（かどう）は引き算（ひきざん）でいける。つまり、余分（よぶん）な　葉や枝を切って落とすのです。シンプルに！　形は三角（さんかく）にする。そうすれば、すがたよくお花が生けられると教えてもらいました。

私の京都旅行はまだまだつづきますが、つづきはまた今度！
