Today, a person who teaches acting to actors as a special instructor for class came to me. He said that unlike the general image of Hori Productions actors, there are many people who are more interested in various things than expected and want to take any drama content for now. I was a little surprised because I thought actors were choosing to play the role carefully. At first, I thought this lecture was about acting like someone, but in fact, it was a class where I learned how to think differently and perceive differently for each member through group work and simple games. In order to understand the other person in the process, I was able to learn that there was no need to over-impress or reversely obscure my values on the premise of the existence of various ways of thinking. I think there will be more opportunities to engage with people from different backgrounds and values in the future, but I wanted to be a person who could accept their ideas without denying what I learned today and to keep broadening my perspective so that I can communicate with others more openly. I realized that this kind of flexible mindset will also help me grow, both in daily interactions and in any creative work I may face.

Being able to talk on a wide variety of topics is really helpful for getting a higher mark on the IELTS test. In this podcast I will help you to form opinions and ideas for Speaking Part 3 and Writing Part 2. You can also book a private lesson with me on my profile. Hope to see you in a lesson soon!

As more and more people choose electric cars, the disadvantages of gas-powered cars clearly show up to the world. Especially, as winter comes, the cost of fuel in a gas-powered car is usually as several times as people spend on an electric cars. More fule is used means that more pollution will be created. Nobody likes a haze day that can't see the sunshine. It can deeply affect our moods. Besides saving money for owners, electric cars have another great advantage that they can speed up quickly than gas -powered cars. I often see gas-powed cars can't overtake electric cars which makes their drivers crazy. Gearbox has not been an essential for a vehicles. The purpose of a vehicle is to take people from one place to nother within the least time. Saving time is the essential for every vehicle designer to try their best to achieve. Maybe gas-powered cars would be completely replaced by ecectric cars in the next ten years. In fact, the thing a electric car can most get my attention is its green licence plate. It matches a car's colour better than other colours.

☕️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴? If you come to Italy, you’ll notice something funny: 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿. Here’s why 👇 🕗 𝟭. 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 (Il cappuccino si beve a colazione) For Italians, cappuccino belongs to the morning. The classic breakfast is: 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 + 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼. Hot milk is considered “too heavy” after a meal, so we avoid it later in the day. 🍝 𝟮. 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿! (Dopo pranzo... meglio un caffè!) After lunch or dinner, most Italians drink a caffè 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼. It’s small, strong, and helps digestion. Much lighter than a cappuccino. 🥛 𝟯. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 (Il latte nel pomeriggio è pesante) Culturally, milk is seen as something for breakfast. Many Italians feel it’s too heavy for the afternoon or evening. So we choose espresso or "caffè macchiato" instead. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 — 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲! (Bevilo quando vuoi!) 😊 It’s not a rule. If you order a cappuccino at 4 PM, nobody will judge you. It’s just a cultural habit, not a “coffee law” 😊 💬 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂? (E tu?)

Yesterday I found out that I had influenza. It was a little surprising because one week ago I already went to the hospital when I first felt sick. At that time, I had a sore throat and a runny nose. I was worried that it might be COVID-19 or influenza, so I decided to see a doctor. The doctor checked me carefully and told me that it was neither COVID nor influenza. I felt very relieved, and I started to take the medicine that was given to me. Thanks to the medicine, I slowly began to feel better. My throat pain became weaker, and my nose was not so bad anymore. However, a few days later, something strange happened. I started to cough in a way that was different from my usual cough. My body also felt heavy, and I became very tired. I thought maybe it was just a small cold, but the feeling was stronger than before. I could not concentrate on my schoolwork, and even walking around the house made me feel exhausted. Because of this, I decided to go back to the hospital again. This time the doctor told me that I really had influenza. I was a little shocked, but at least I finally knew the truth. The doctor advised me to rest well and drink enough water. Now I am staying at home, trying to recover slowly. I hope that with enough sleep and care, I will feel healthy again soon.

Today’s Japanese Tip 🇯🇵 In English, you might say “I love it!” when you like someone’s outfit. But in Japanese, we usually don’t say whether we love it. We simply compliment the item itself: ✨すてきですね！ (suteki desu ne!) — “That’s lovely!” 💖かわいい！ (kawaii!) — “So cute!” 🆒かっこいい！ (kakkoii!) — “Cool!” 😍にあってる！ (niatteru!) — “It suits you!” Why don’t Japanese people say “I love it”? Because in Japanese, the compliment already includes that feeling. You don’t have to explain your reaction — it’s understood. So even though Japanese is said to be indirect, sometimes the meaning is simply shared without extra words. A small phrase can carry a lot.

December will coming! I love December because it has my birthday, Christmas, and year end. I turning 20 in December 17th. I can’t believe it. In my mind, I am 18 years old. Finally I will be able to drink alcohol. But I have to be careful about drinking it. And someday I want to go Christmas market in Germany. I have been studying German in university for a year and a half. I’m learning about Christmas market, so I’d like to go. I will go my hometown at the end of year. I can meet with my family and old friends. And I can eat many delicious foods! I can eat Osechi, crab, and sushi. I will gain weight, but I am extremely happy. I love eating delicious foods with my family. And I can meet old friends at the Coming of Age Ceremony. In Japan, most of the girls wear Long sleeved kimono. I want to see friends’ kimono. Mine is blue one, and my best friend’s is yellow one. Her kimono is beautiful and cute design. I have to take photos with friends! And I want to show my Long sleeved kimono to my grandma. She was playing with me when I was little. I love her. To show her my kimono is my dream.

🎅🎄 The holiday is just around the corner, save useful words for Christmas!🎄🎅

I had an English interview in today's class. The group was divided into three groups, with two interviewers and one interviewer. I was in the role of having an interview. All teams were assigned jobs in advance and interviews were conducted in each group. Each was a pilot chef, teacher, librarian, tour guide and gardener. I'm not very good at English, so I was nervous and couldn't speak well in the first interview (tour guide). Even in my native Japanese, it is difficult to deal with interviews, so I get even more tired. However, through various classes, I was able to express myself and show my strengths. Some of my friends will go to internships from next year. The time for job hunting is gradually approaching. I'm worried right now, and I really don't want to, but I'll have fun. In particular, it is ideal to actively talk about strong content in interviews. From now on, in order to get used to speaking in front of many people, I would like to give these daily classes and presentations politely and challenge them as if they were giving real interviews. And I want to get a job where I can feel truly rewarding and earn the right amount of money for my work. Through today's lecture, I realized that there are many things that I can do for myself in the future！
