TASK 56 - 56.	THE GENERATION GAP 

Did you like the film? Was it good?
-- Umm, it wasn't bad. 
Why do you always have to do that? Can't you just say good or bad?
-- Indeed I cannot. 

In this episode, we will take a look at the difference between 'it was good' and 'it wasn't bad.' And how we can use it in daily speech to Express a Nuance.

Confusing Structures in the English Language - Using Opposites

Trong tháng thứ hai của khóa học y tá, vị giáo sư của chúng tôi đã ra một câu hỏi cuối cùng hết sức bất ngờ trong bài thi: “Hãy cho biết tên người phụ nữ quét dọn trường học của chúng ta”. Một câu hỏi không thuộc chuyên môn, chắc đây chỉ là một câu hỏi đùa thôi. Tôi đã nghĩ vậy!
Thật ra tôi nhìn thấy người phụ nữ đó vài lần. Cô ấy cao, tóc sẫm màu và khoảng chừng 50 tuổi. Nhưng làm sao tôi biết được tên cô chứ? Tôi đã kết thúc bài làm của mình với câu cuối cùng bỏ trống.
Cuối giờ kiểm tra, một sinh viên đã hỏi vị giáo sư rằng: “Thưa, thầy có tính điểm không ạ?”. Giáo sư trả lời: “Chắc chắn rồi – ông nói tiếp – trong cuộc sống và công việc, các em sẽ gặp rất nhiều người. Tất cả họ đều quan trọng, họ xứng đáng được nhận sự quan tâm của các em, dù chỉ là một nụ cười hay một câu chào”.
Tôi đã không bao giờ quên bài học đó trên mỗi bước đường đời của mình sau này.

-PART 11️⃣
The story is told by a former airline employee and is set on December 31, 1987. A woman is late for her flight and stops a plane about to take off by kneeling in front of the captain. The complicity of this exchange of glances is the same that a hitchhiker has with the driver. The plane stops . Happy ending .

【Japanese Podcast#26】仕事(しごと)をやめたい！｜I want to quit my job!

Amanda: Hi Maria!
Maria: Oh, hi Amanda.
Amanda: You look a bit worried, are you all right?
Maria: I’m exhausted. Yesterday’s homework took me all evening. It’s probably going to double next year, isn’t it?
Amanda: Probably. My older brother has to write long essays for his English literature course. But we’ll have fewer subjects to study. Have you chosen your courses yet?
Maria: No, when’s the deadline?
Amanda: We have another month, but the school emailed us all the list the other day. I have it on my phone.
Maria: Ooh, let’s have a look, then.
Amanda: Here it is. Oh, look, the Spanish and biology timetables clash. I won’t be able to do both.
Maria: Would you do that, though? Languages and science don’t go together, do they?
Amanda: Well, you wouldn't think so, but actually, my aunt is a research scientist, and a lot of European universities work together on projects. She’s working on a project with a university in Rome, one in Germany, and one in Portugal.
Maria: Is it a biology project?
Amanda: No, she’s a chemist. They’re working on a solution to clean up deadly pollution in rivers and lakes.
Maria: That sounds so cool and really fascinating.
Amanda: It really is. She gets to visit colleagues in different cities sometimes, and she gets her work translated into lots of different languages. She wishes she had learned some German, though, so she could communicate better with her German research partners. She understands Portuguese and Italian, but German, not so much.
Maria: When did she learn Portuguese and Italian?
Amanda: I think she did some of her university degree in Lisbon and some in Rome.
Maria: Studying chemistry in different languages?
Amanda: Yes, she loved it!
Maria: So, you’re kind of following in her footsteps, then. Science and languages. You could be a biologist in Spain.
Amanda: Yep, or at least study there, or South America.
Maria: So, what are you going to do about the timetable clash?
Amanda: I think I’ll talk to the dean.
