The Japanese name for lycoris, "higanbana" (彼岸花, "the flower of Higan"), refers to a flower that grows along the Sanzu River. In the minds of the Japanese, this flower is associated with autumn, farewell, reincarnation and the grief related to the afterlife. The name is derived from the word "higan", a Buddhist term that refers to the autumn equinox and the concept of "retreating into oblivion" and the equinoctial week itself.

Who wants to sound like a native English speaker from the United States? Maybe you're wanting to visit the United States. Maybe you're wanting to move to the United States. Maybe you got a job in the United States and you want to be able to communicate with people in your new neighborhood. Or maybe you already live in the United States but were born in another country, but you want to learn how to sound more like you live here. You want to talk to people in the grocery store, book store and more! But your accent is bothering you. Have you ever had someone from the United States really judge your pronunciation? Really listen to all the sounds you make when you speak? Then let you know what letter sounds that you say wrong in American English? Then actually teach you how to say American English letter sounds clearly and correctly. So your nouns, vowels etc sound really clear and understandable. Not like.. 'Sort of like American English' but really American English. That way your listener knows exactly what you're saying without confusion, hesitation, assumptions, mis understanding. Wouldn't your listener appreciate that? Wouldn't that make the conversation more free flowing and more enjoyable? Check out my tutor profile and book a lesson of mine. I've been tutoring students around the world since 2018 to sound more American.

Speaking of aliens, everyone has a lot to talk about. When I was kid, some adults told me that they had seen aliens and their plate-shaped aircrafts. In fact, all of them didn't exist. Humans have a very complicated feeling when they face the deep space. They hope that humans are the only kind of creatures in the space, meanwhile they feel sad of not being easy to leave the earth. Sometimes the blue and thriving world feels like a cage for humans. In that case, people began to worry about being attacked by some other creatures from other planets. The aliens are usually considered being evil and having advanced technology, such as star trek. The fears did existed throughout the human history. Until today, we can travel to the near planets, but we still confuse about whether aliens exist or not. Finally, we find that the things we have known are only a very litlle part of the universe. Besides the aliens from the out space, we even believe that there are peopel living inside of the earth. Do you believe it? If not, do you have some evidences to prove it?
