EP.6 Pronouns 

Hello, I'm Jason, welcome to my channel, remember one character in a minute, and never forget," "大" is like a person with open arms, so in Chinese characters we see “大”, it has two meanings, one meaning is big, another is human, we are going to learn "夫" today, first of all, let's think about it, ancient men have long hair or short hair, yes, it is long hair, Chinese people think that hair is given to us by our parents, we can not cut hair,  because our hair is too long around the age of 16 and we have to tie it up, it also means that we are adults, and we can become husbands，So the line above the character“大” means hairpin，Look at the picture to understand, Combine words“丈夫( zhànɡ fū)husband，夫人( fū rén)wife”， there are also some Chinese characters related to big，妖，美，天，夯，立， 站，尖，央，头......

大家好，我是杰森，欢迎来到我的频道，一分钟记住一个汉字，并且永不忘记，”大”就像一个张开手臂的人，所以在汉字中我们看到这个字，它有两种含义，一个意思是大，一个意思是人，我们今天来学习”夫”，首先大家想一下，古代的男人是长头发还是短头发，对的，是长头发，中国人认为头发是父母给予我们的，我们不可以剪头发，所以在16岁左右因为我们的头发太长而必须扎起来，这也代表了我们成年了，成年的我们就可以成为别人的丈夫了，所以在大字上边的一横是发簪的意思，请观看封面图理解，这也有很多与大有关的汉字，例如：妖，美，天，夯，立， 站，尖，央，头......

Learn English with Stories

Stories from China, U.S., and Russia

Before you begin this session, I want you to know what to expect.

This recording is not a lesson, not a lecture, and not traditional language practice.
It is a deep internal experience designed to help you:

calm the noise that blocks your communication,

reconnect with the abilities you already have,

reduce the pressure you feel when speaking English,

and activate a clearer, stronger internal foundation for real communication.

Many students describe this type of work as feeling more grounded, more confident,
or suddenly able to express themselves with less effort and more clarity.

You may notice:

a quieter mind,

more natural speech flow,

improved focus,

increased confidence,

a sense of inner stability when using English
in conversations, interviews, or presentations.

These changes don’t come from force or memorizing new rules.
They come from reorganizing your internal state,
so speaking English becomes easier, lighter, and more natural.

Think of this recording as a reset,
a moment where your mind can update old patterns
and connect you back to your real potential.

Some people notice results immediately.
For others, the effect appears later—
during a conversation, a meeting, or the next time they open their mouth to speak.

Both experiences are normal.

All you need to do is listen
in a safe, quiet place
and let the process unfold naturally.

When you're ready,
we can begin.

Job Interview Preparation | Build Strong Communication Under Pressure

“The Inner Communication Reset” 

Speaker: Princess Elizabeth was born in London in 1926. She grew up in London with her younger sister and they were educated at home. She was not expected to become queen when she was born, but in 1936, her uncle King Edward VIII gave up the throne and her father became King George the Sixth. As she had no brothers, Elizabeth would become the next ruler.

Speaker: In 1947, she got engaged to her third cousin, Philip Mountbatten. In 1952, while she was visiting Kenya, the death of King George was announced, and Elizabeth returned immediately to England. She was crowned at Westminster Abbey on the second of June, 1953. For the first time ever, the ceremony was shown on TV and watched by millions of people around the world.

Speaker: Elizabeth’s role as queen was mostly ceremonial: she opened Parliament, met government ministers and signed new laws. However, she was not allowed to express her own political opinions. She also represented Great Britain abroad, visiting countries in the Commonwealth and other nations around the world. The Queen was always instantly recognizable in her classic outfit of matching dress, coat, hat and handbag.

Speaker: Elizabeth loved dogs - corgis were her favorite breed. She also bred and raced horses. Every year at Christmas, the Queen spoke to the nation on TV. In 1992, she described a particularly difficult year, as several of her children’s marriages broke up and a fire destroyed part of her home in Windsor Castle.

Speaker: Elizabeth celebrated many anniversaries and became the longest serving king or queen in British history. Some people felt that a royal family was too expensive for the country, so after 2012, she reduced spending and received less money from the government. Many people continued to find the royal family interesting, as shown by the popularity of TV shows about the Queen and her family, such as The Crown.

Speaker: Philip died in 2021 and the Queen died a year later. Her son became King Charles the Third...

QUEEN ELIZABETH II



おはようございます！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れです。
気温は12℃！朝は寒くなってきました。

みなさんは日本の食べ物は好きですか？
今日は特に関西に多い、粉もん、という食べ物について話します。

粉もんにはいろんな食べ物があります。
例えば、お好み焼き、たこ焼き、うどんなどのことを言います。他にも、パンやパスタなども含めていうこともあります。

粉もんとは粉から作る食べ物のことです。粉もんは主に小麦粉で作った食べ物のことを言います。そば粉や米粉など色々な穀物（こくもつ）で作った食べ物も入ります。  「粉もん」という言葉は、江戸時代に粉にして食べる習慣が庶民（しょみん）にも広まりました。その頃から「こねもの、粉物」といった言い方が変化して各地に広がりました。
お好み焼きやたこ焼き、うどんなどの歴史もその頃からはじまっているようです。  お好み焼きは、今のような形になったのは昭和の時代、80年ぐらい前だと思います。大阪では昆布ダシの文化が発達して、この昆布ダシを入れ材料全部を混ぜて焼く、「混ぜ焼き」に発展したと言われています。  たこ焼は今のようにたこが入ったのは昭和になってからで、明石（あかし）焼きの影響（えいきょう）を受けたといわれていわれています。明石焼は出汁につけて食べます。たこ焼きはソースを塗ったりマヨネーズを塗ったりして食べます。  こういう話をしていると、お腹がすいてきましたね！笑

今日は粉もんについて話しました。日本に旅行に来る時は、特に関西、大阪とかですね、ぜひ粉もんをいろいろ食べてみてください！

ということで、今日も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
