Today I look at the phrasal verb "to snap up". Winston Churchill's False Teeth sell for £18,000 and I look at the song lyrics "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman.

In today's episode we discuss our perception of time and whether it moves too slow or too fast?

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 17 : What is your perception of time? Does time stand still or move too fast? 

Acha que todos os brasileiros se cumprimentam com abraços e beijos? Não é assim que funciona. No Brasil, a forma como você interage fisicamente ao dizer "Oi'" ou se despedir pode depender do gênero e até mesmo da sexualidade. De soquinhos a beijos e abraços, essas saudações não são tão universais quanto você imagina. A maneira como elas tendem a acontecer entre os homens heterossexuais brasileiros é o que pode fazer você repensar o que sabe sobre cumprimentar alguém na cultura brasileira. Assista para aprender algumas regras sociais sutis por trás das saudações brasileiras.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの17回目です。だんだん暖かくなってきましたね。日中はセーターが少し暑く感じます。大阪は毎日晴れの日が続いています。空には雲が一つもなくて、いい天気です。そういえば先日、このポッドキャストをYoutubeにもアップロードしました。ぜひチェックしてみてください。https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3HUNV-vylkRHXP_bKJZeYQ

Hi, This is the podcast episode 18. It’s getting warmer and warmer. Jumpers feel a bit hot during the day. Osaka has been sunny every day. There is not a single cloud in the sky, it’s a beautiful day. Speaking of which, I recently uploaded this podcast to Youtube as well. Please check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3HUNV-vylkRHXP_bKJZeYQ

私の家の近くには小学校があるので、近所の道には子供がたくさん歩いています。日本の小学生は、歩いて学校に通います。家から学校までのルートは「通学路」といいます。通学路は学校が決めます。いちばん人通りが多く、安全なルートです。通学路には、誘拐や寄り道がないように、大人が立っていることもあります。「誘拐」とは、人をどこかに連れて行く犯罪です。「寄り道」とは、どこかに行く途中で、違う場所に行くことです。

There is a primary school near my house, so there are many children walking on the neighbourhood streets. Japanese primary school children walk to school. The route from home to school is called a ‘Tsuugakuro’ (school route). Tsuugakuro is decided by the school. It is the busiest and safest route. Adults may stand on Tsuugakuro to prevent Yuukai and Yorimichi. ‘Yuukai’ (kidnapping) is a crime where a person is taken somewhere. ‘Yorimichi’ (detour, dropping in on the way) is going somewhere different on the way to somewhere else.

今日の午後は筋トレをしました。「筋トレ」とは「筋力トレーニング」の略で、体を強くするための運動のことです。私はジムに行きません。家で筋トレを続けています。私が筋トレを始めたのは、４年ぐらい前です。フリーランスになって、外に出る機会が減ったので、運動をすることにしました。

This afternoon we did Kintore. ‘Kintore’ (strength training) is short for Kinryoku (muscle strength) Tore-ningu (training)’, an exercise to strengthen the body. I don’t go to the gym. I continue to strength train at home. I started Kintore about four years ago. When I became a freelancer I decided to exercise because I didn’t get out as often.
