A few days ago, I applied for tickets to a very popular artist’s concert just for fun. But surprisingly, I got it! I didn’t expect to get them, so I chose Fukuoka as the concert location. I have always wanted to visit Fukuoka, so I think this is a great chance to travel and enjoy the concert at the same time. Fukuoka is known for many delicious foods. And I love them such as Hakata ramen and Mentaiko. I really want to try the real local taste at least once in my life. My friend also recommended me a popular sweet called Hakata Torimon, so I want to try that too. If I really go there, I’ll work hard until February to save enough money for the trip. So I can enjoy everything without worry. I am already excited just thinking about it! Please let me know if you have any recommendations about Fukuoka.

The Importance of English in Business In today’s global economy, English plays a key role in communication between people from different countries. Many international companies use English as their main language for meetings, emails, and documents. This helps employees from different cultures understand each other and work together more effectively. Knowing English also creates more career opportunities. Professionals who can speak English often have access to better jobs, higher positions, and international projects. It allows them to attend conferences, negotiate deals, and build connections with people around the world. English is not only useful for big corporations. Even small businesses benefit from it. For example, a local shop owner who can communicate in English can attract foreign customers or work with suppliers from other countries. In short, English has become the universal language of business. It helps people share ideas, solve problems, and reach global markets. Learning English is not just about language — it’s about connecting with the world and growing professionally.

I have recently read something about sharks that changed my mind about environment protection. Once we were told that sharks are one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Many people were attacked by sharks. Though attacks do occur, there is another fact shows that over 0ne millions sharks killed by people every year. It may be sounds great, but as the population of sharks shrinks, the sea animals which once were the food of sharks become more and more. They eat small fish what is the food for people. As the population of small fish redecue, seaweed has no enemy and spreads everywhere. You can imagine that you go to a beach but it's a green sea over there. When you know what activities can directly affect the enviroment, we can easily avoid doing them. But when our activities indirenctly affect the environment, we need to know how deep our activities can affect our environment. For example, using tissue means that a tree has might been cut. so, what activities we can take part in to protect the invironment? I think that thinking about how your daily activites affect the world is the most important activity you need to do first.

🎙️ Introducing “The Voice You Forgot You Had” By Anatoly Glazkov – Identity Architect for High-Stakes Professionals Most learners think their struggle is with English. In reality, it’s with identity. After years of study, many high-achieving women still feel a quiet dissatisfaction every time they speak — as if their English is fine, but they aren’t. Their voice sounds smaller than who they really are. This podcast is about that hidden moment — when confidence collapses not because of grammar, but because of who’s behind the words. I’m Anatoly, an identity architect for high-stakes professionals. Over 20,000 sessions taught me one truth: you don’t need more English; you need to recalibrate the person who uses it. Each short episode is a cinematic exploration of what happens when you step out of the English performance box and start speaking as your real self. It’s not language training — it’s psychological tuning. You’ll hear reflections, guided moments, and stories from people who learned to stop asking “How do I sound?” and start asking “Who is speaking?” Episode 0 — “The Architect of the Voice” The story behind my method, Identity Recalibration: how I help professionals transform anxiety into presence and performance into authenticity. Listen when you need to reconnect with the part of you that already knows how to speak.

Photo 1: Snow and her babies Here’s Snow, my curious little ferret, looking straight at the camera with her beautiful white face. Under her, three of her four babies are feeding, nestled safely in her cozy nest made from a slightly stained old towel, with pieces of torn newspaper scattered around. I didn’t want to wash it, as I didn’t want to disturb her or her rapidly growing babies. Snow is such a kind and devoted mother, and you can see her gentle watchfulness as she cares for her little ones. Vocabulary: Curious – wanting to know or learn about something Nestled – settled in comfortably and safely Cozy – warm, comfortable, and snug Stained – marked or discolored by dirt or something spilled Scattered – spread around in different places Kind – caring and gentle toward others Devoted – very loving and committed Watchfulness – paying close attention to keep someone safe Photo 2: Close-up of one baby Here’s a close-up of one of Snow’s babies. It fits in the palm of my hand, its eyes still closed, so delicate and small — only slightly bigger than a finger. Its skin is soft and pink, with just a hint of fuzz, tiny ears, paws, and a hairless tail. Its little nose seems almost too big for its face, and every little feature is fragile and perfect, a tiny miracle of life. Vocabulary: Close-up – a photo taken very near the subject to show details Palm – the inside part of your hand Delicate – very small, fragile, and easily damaged Paws – the feet of an animal, often soft and small Fragile – easily broken or harmed
