Let's start your first step in learning the Arabic language

Hello. During my trip to Oita, I enjoyed a lot of delicious food, including toriten (chicken tempura), sushi, and yakiniku. Each meal felt special because it’s not something I can eat every day. And luckily, the weather somehow cleared up, so I decided to take a drive into the mountains to see the wild monkeys. When I arrived, I was surprised to learn that more than 500 monkeys happened to be there that day. It was amazing to see so many in one place, and they were very cute. I especially enjoyed watching the baby monkeys. Their faces weren’t red yet, and I learned that the red color appears later as they grow, due to the capillaries becoming more visible. After that, I went to hot spring with my family. There are so many kinds of hot springs in Oita. Overall, it became a really wonderful memory. The combination of great food, good weather, and such a unique experience made the day unforgettable.

I was diagnosed with the flu. On the second day, my fever went up to 39°C. I wasn’t hungry and didn’t feel like doing anything, so I slept a lot.I also had to miss two days of classes.On the third day, my fever went down and I felt better. But I couldn’t leave my room because I didn’t want to give the flu to my family. It was really boring. I decided to watch some dramas. That day, I didn’t study and just watched dramas. I didn’t even take a nap.On the fourth day, I felt fine again, so I was really bored. I watched more dramas, but I also studied a little. I took a nap so I wouldn’t feel sick again. Even though I felt okay, it was hard to stay inside all the time. I ate a lot of snacks, oranges, and ice cream that my aunt bought for me. They were delicious.

Recently, I’ve gotten really into customizing plain hoodies in my own style. I cut fabric into shapes I like and sew them on, and I’ve also been embroidering whatever patterns come to mind. Before I knew it, my room had turned into a little studio. I love the feeling of creating something that exists nowhere else in the world, and I’ve completely fallen in love with the process. I didn’t have much experience with embroidery at first, so I was pretty clumsy and my stitches were all over the place. But as I kept practicing, I think I gradually got better. I can still only do simple designs, but next time I want to challenge myself with something a bit more intricate. The hoodies that used to be totally plain now look like pieces from a brand-new fashion line. It’s so much fun that I end up working on them late into the night. I’m really happy to have found a new hobby.

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!

I recently started a new part-time job. I work at an izakaya near my house. Since I just began, I am not used to the work yet, and sometimes I feel a little nervous. However, I really want to learn quickly and become more confident in what I do. The staff around me are kind, and they teach me many things, so I try my best to follow their advice and improve every day. I hope that, as time goes by, I can work more smoothly, handle customers better, and become someone the team can rely on. I know it will take some effort, but I am motivated to keep trying hard until I get fully used to my new job.
