After consonants, the vowel letter pairs а/я, э/е, о/ё, ы/и, and у/ю represent 
essentially the same vowel sound. Their only difference is that the letters in the bottom 
row tell you that the preceding consonant is palatalized, or soft.*

HARD CONSONANTS             SOFT CONSONANTS

Да-да! - Oh yes!                       дядя - uncle 
мэр - mayor                             мер - of measures 
быт - daily life                          бит - computer bit 
живот - belly                            живёт - he/she lives 
музыка - music                        мюзикл - musical (show)

* a palatalized consonant is pronounced with the blade of the tongue pressed up 
against the hard palate, it sounds like a consonant plus the [y] sound of “yes” pronounced at the exact same time.

「おやすみなさい」は　ねるときの　あいさつの　ことばです。でも、「なさい」は　命令（めいれい）で　つかう　ことばです。子どもが　おとうさんや　おかあさんに　「ねなさい」と命令（めいれい）しているのでしょうか？　へんですよね…。どうして　ねるときに、「おやすみなさい」というようになったのか　調（しら）べてみました。
"Oyasuminasai" is a greeting word when we sleep. But "～nasai" is a word used in command. Does the child order his/her father and mother to to go bed? That's strange... so, I checked why we say "Oyasuminasai" when we sleep.

If you listen to how i talked about and described the movie, you should be able to notice that i did not go into much detail on what the movie was about. This can be a very difficult thing to do in any language, and can also lead to problems with cohesion which will of course lower your band score. This is an example of where you need to learn to talk around topics, and remember that part 2 is still about you.
