Word of the day :) 💚😊

Thanks to going to bed around 10:30 p.m. yesterday, I was able to wake up before 6 a.m. today. However, I went back to sleep and finally woke up at 8 a.m. After that, I spent a lot of time watching TikTok on my phone, playing a soccer game, and watching YouTube on TV. Before I knew it, it was already afternoon. I wanted to clean my room, do the laundry, and make appointments for my hair and nails, but I couldn’t do anything. I have work from 3 p.m. today, so I quickly did my makeup and am on my way now. The weather is nice today, and I have an eight-hour shift at my Yokohama workplace for the first time in a while. To make myself feel better, I am wearing my favorite Comme des Garçons T-shirt for the first time. I think it will be busy today. A lot of small flies appeared in my room yesterday, so I also have to kill them. There are mosquitoes too, and my legs are itchy in some places. I will do my best today too!

Are the sentences correct: “They would have to show it so that everyone understood right away” “Would it be possible that there were people here who had never seen this?” “There would be a rule here according to which certain people had the permittions to do so” “The fruits would be low enough so that everyone were able to reach them” ?

Learning New Words — tip 5 of 5! #NewWordsWeek The honest test: talk to your voice assistant in English. Try voice commands on devices. Three tasks — set a timer for ten minutes, ask for tomorrow's weather, add "buy coffee" to your list. If the machine understands you, people will. If it mishears a word, that's your homework: write the word down, check the audio in the dictionary (tip 2), try again tomorrow. That's the goal all week, by the way: not a perfect accent. Being understood.

Let's learn English together!

A friend asked me to teach her poetry. I know that she is not interested in poetry that much. She just want to find some topics with me. Because I like poetry very much. My works were published on our local newspaper when I was a teenager. I have been too lonely., so reading poetry is the best way to combat loneliness instead of spending money. we also read the Bible together. It's the first time that I teach poetry, and it's hard to choose. Last week I decided to choose Jiang Kui's "Secret Fragrance". "Secret Fragrance" and "Dappled Shadows" are among the most quoted and admired works by Jiang Kui. Of the two poems, "Secret fragrance" is written in a comparatively lucid style, and it had an English translation and Pinyin available. When I taught it, I found it was more difficult than I had thought. For example, when we read “何遜而今漸老” (He Xun is now aging), I said, "Jiang Kui sees himself as an aging He Xun". She asked, "How do you know that?" And i decided to introduce Zhou Bangyan's "Prince Lanling" this week. A famous example in his description of willows and the parting of friends in the lyrics to the tune of "Prince Lanling." But more questions were raised. The more i read poems, the more i understand "the reason I continue giving lectures is that I hope to leave something behind for those who enjoy Chinese poetry, something that might help them get a start in learning it" by Professor Florence Chia-ying Yeh who passed away in Tianjin.
