Você gosta de pizza? — SMALL TALK A1-B2 LEVEL.

A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.

秋（あき）のスイーツビュッフェに行（い）ってきた

巷（ちまた）で流行（はや）りの生（なま）絞（しぼ）りモンブランも体験（たいけん）し、「いもくりなんきん」以外（いがい）には葡萄（ぶどう）を使（つか）ったスイーツもあって、葡萄が大好（だいす）きな私（わたし）としては大（だい）満足（まんぞく）のラインナップだった。
食（た）べ放題（ほうだい）だからたくさん食べようと思ったが、やはり「いもくりなんきん」。少し食べただけでお腹（なか）が膨（ふく）らみ、思（おも）っていた以上（いじょう）に食べられなかった・・・。もっと食べたかった気持ち（きも）がある一方（いっぽう）、苦（くる）しくて食べられない状況（じょうきょう）に悔（くや）しさがあったが、秋（あき）の味覚（みかく）を堪能（たんのう）できたことは素直（すなお）に嬉（うれ）しい。でももう当分（とうぶん）、「いもくりなんきん」は要（い）らない！

Everyday Conversational Phrases

Are you ready to become a powerful presenter? As an educator, my mission is to unlock the presentation skills of my Business English (BE) students. In today's professional world, the ability to deliver captivating talks is a game-changer. In my classroom, I guide students on structuring their presentations, using impactful visuals, delivering engaging speeches, conquering nerves, and acing audience questions. By exploring the secrets of great presentations, we learn how to captivate audiences from the very beginning, organize ideas effectively, and leave a lasting impression. We delve into the art of visual design, creating visually stunning slides that enhance our messages. Through practice and feedback, students develop their unique speaking styles, mastering storytelling, body language, and voice variation. We address the fear of public speaking head-on, equipping students with techniques to manage nerves and build confidence. Additionally, we tackle the art of answering audience questions with poise and precision. With a supportive environment and practical strategies, I empower my students to become confident presenters who leave a lasting impact.

How to Present and Speak in Business

ずんずん廊下を進んで行きますと、こんどは水いろのペンキ塗ぬりの扉がありました。
「どうも変な家だ。どうしてこんなにたくさん戸があるのだろう。」
「これはロシア式だ。寒いとこや山の中はみんなこうさ。」
　そして二人はその扉をあけようとしますと、上に黄いろな字でこう書いてありました。
「当軒は注文の多い料理店ですからどうかそこはご承知ください」
「なかなかはやってるんだ。こんな山の中で。」
「それあそうだ。見たまえ、東京の大きな料理屋だって大通りにはすくないだろう」
　二人は云いながら、その扉をあけました。するとその裏側に、
「注文はずいぶん多いでしょうがどうか一々こらえて下さい。」
「これはぜんたいどういうんだ。」ひとりの紳士は顔をしかめました。
「うん、これはきっと注文があまり多くて支度が手間取るけれどもごめん下さいと斯いうことだ。」
「そうだろう。早くどこか室の中にはいりたいもんだな。」
「そしてテーブルに座りたいもんだな。」
　ところがどうもうるさいことは、また扉が一つありました。そしてそのわきに鏡がかかって、その下には長い柄のついたブラシが置いてあったのです。
　扉には赤い字で、
「お客さまがた、ここで髪をきちんとして、それからはきものの泥を落してください。」
と書いてありました。
「これはどうも尤もだ。僕もさっき玄関で、山のなかだとおもって見くびったんだよ」
「作法の厳しい家だ。きっとよほど偉い人たちが、たびたび来るんだ。」
　そこで二人は、きれいに髪をけずって、靴の泥を落しました。
　そしたら、どうです。ブラシを板の上に置くや否や、そいつがぼうっとかすんで無くなって、風がどうっと室の中に入ってきました。
　二人はびっくりして、互いによりそって、扉をがたんと開けて、次の室へ入って行きました。早く何か暖いものでもたべて、元気をつけて置かないと、もう途方もないことになってしまうと、二人とも思ったのでした。
