日本人のクリスマスプレゼントって？What do Japanese people give as Christmas presents?

How can we unlock the hidden potential within ourselves and the world around us? Improvement holds the key. From personal growth to the transformation of everyday objects, the concept of improvement permeates our lives. But have you ever wondered about the specific ways we can ignite change? Explore the fascinating world of improvement as we delve into the phrasal verbs "improve on," "improve upon," and "improve with." These linguistic tools empower us to surpass previous accomplishments, refine existing elements, and incorporate additional enhancements. Witness the evolution of software, customer service, and culinary delights as they improve on their past versions. Discover how athletes, authors, and artists push boundaries and elevate their craft by improving upon their own achievements. Brace yourself for a journey where improvement becomes the catalyst for unlocking extraordinary possibilities.

LEARN BY LISTENING

Phrasal verbs "improve on," "improve upon, "and "improve with."

Have you ever been so confused you didn't know what to do or say? If so, you might find these words helpful.

If you're shocked by something, you can say you are "flabbergasted." No one knows where this word comes from, but it might come from "aghast," which means "horrified."

So if you got home and found that everything you own had been stolen, you might say, "I'm flabbergasted that they were able to steal everything without being seen!"

If something is very complicated and confusing, you can say you are "bewildered." This word probably comes from "to wilder," an old word that means "to make someone become lost."

So if the police were not able to find out anything about what happened, they might say, "We're bewildered — we have no idea who took your things."

Another word that could be used is "flummoxed," which also means "confused." People don't know for sure, but it may have come from "flummock," an old word that meant "to make untidy or confuse."

So you could say to the police, "I'm just as flummoxed as you are — I can't understand how they could have stolen everything."

If something is difficult to understand, you can say it's "perplexing," or makes you feel "perplexed." So the police might say, "I'm sorry, but we might not be able to find your things. This is a very perplexing case!"
