DOCTOR: What seems to be the problem?
CATHY: Well, I have a bad cough and a sore throat. I also have 
a headache.
DOCTOR: How long have you had these symptoms?
CATHY: About three days now. And I’m really tired, too.
DOCTOR: Hmm. It sounds like you’ve got the flu. Take aspirin
every four hours and get plenty of rest. Make sure you 
drink lots of fluids. Call me if you’re still sick next week.
CATHY: OK, thanks

LANGUAGE NOTES 
• What seems to be the problem? means “What is the problem?” Notice that the intonation 
falls at the end of the question. The doctor wants information, not a “yes/no” answer.
• Well is used as an introductory word. Notice how the vowel is drawn out, to sound like 
“Weeeeeell …” This can be used as a way to “buy time” while you think about what you 
want to say next.
• A bad cough … a sore throat … a headache: Notice the article “a” before each symptom.
• About is used to mean “more or less.” It’s used here to give an estimate of time.
• Take aspirin … get rest … Make sure … Call me: Notice the doctor uses the simple tense 
here to give instructions. This is the imperative form of the verb.
• Still sick means “continue to be sick.”

Today I’m going to talk about Kanji “一(ichi)”. 
One day one of my students said to me, “Kanji is difficult because they have a lot of way to read. For example, “一（ichi）” is very simple and easy, but it has so many ways to read.”
 I totally agree with her. Even native speakers of Japanese sometimes misread kanji. Then, what kind of reading and meaning does Kanji ”一” have?

日本語の漢字は　一つの漢字に　いくつかの読み方があります。
それが、漢字が難しいと感じる原因になっています。
このあいだも、きょねん　N3に合格した　生徒さんが　こんなことを言っていました。
「一」	はむずかしいです。読み方がとてもたくさんあって、たいへんです。
本当に　たくさん読み方があると思います。
一月（いちがつ）と　一月（ひとつき）は　漢字で書くと同じになってしまいます。ですから、日本人は書くときに　一月は漢字で、ひと月は「一」をひらがなで「ひと」と書いたり、同じ意味の「一か月」と書いたりします。

一年	一月　一日　一番　　は「いち」
一個　一回　一瞬　一品　は「いっ」、「い」に小さい「っ」がつく「「いっ」
一つ　一口　一休み　一言　は「ひと」
唯一　均一　統一　単一　は「いつ」
むずかしい読み方では、「一昨日」と書いて「おととい」　、「一昨年」と書いて「おととし」、「一寸」と書いて「ちょっと」と読むなど　ほかにもいろいろあります。

そして、「一」の意味は「ひとつ」という数を表すだけではありません。
「世界一」の「一」は　最上のもの　一番上のものという意味、
「一瞬」の「一」は、少し、わずかという意味です。
日本によくある100円ショップは100均（ひゃっきん）と言われています。
この100均は100円均一の略で、「均一」の「一」は　一つのまとまり、あつまり、一つのグループという意味です。　だから100均は100円の商品だけをあつめたお店ということになるんですね。
ほかにもいろいろありますが、全部は紹介できないので、興味のある人は辞書で調べてみてくださいね。

ここまで聞いてくれた人の中には、たぶん、漢字の読み方の「覚え方のコツはありますか？」「何か読むときのルールはありますか？」と思っているのではないでしょうか。

残念ながら、こうやれば覚えやすいという方法もルールもありません。
日本人も読み方がわからなかったり、間違えることがあります。
辞書で調べて　確認して、一つ一つ覚えるしかありません。

めんどうくさいかもしれませんが、知れば知るほどおもしろくなるのが漢字の世界だと思います。　ぜひ、楽しんで学習してください。

漢字の「一」ってかんたんですか？　Kanji character "一(ichi)  is simple and easy!?

Students will learn about Greece's resistance to the Italian invasion, particularly how the Greek forces fought bravely in the mountains of Epirus and managed to push back the Italian army. This victory inspired other countries to fight against the Axis powers.

Today, I want to tell you all about emotional support chickens. It seems that a nursing home here in the UK has been offered chickens by a local school in order to take away the loneliness of it’s residents and help them feel better.

Nursing Homes and Care Homes are places where we put older people who cannot look after themselves.

It's hoped that the chickens will bring residents a number of benefits. From fostering a sense of community to reducing mental health problems. Now, I'm not sure about you but for me, I'd probably rather have the cash or if  there’s perhaps other opportunities, maybe I’d prefer to talk to someone. These chickens don't actually have to be bought.It looks like they were given free to this nursing home. 

But still, if they're going to give away chickens, I'd rather have the cash.
