When you read regularly, you’re constantly encountering new words. The great thing about newspapers and magazines is that they use language that is relevant and current. This isn’t a textbook full of outdated phrases—you’re learning words and expressions that people actually use in everyday conversation. Studies have shown that extensive reading helps expand vocabulary knowledge faster than explicit vocabulary instruction.

111 Tips for Learning a Language 

Tip 46 - Read newspapers and magazines to learn vocabulary 

You may sometimes notice people at airports wearing a green lanyard with sunflowers on it. This is usually worn by people who have a hidden disability — disabilities that can't always be seen from the outside, such as learning difficulties or autism.

But soon, you might start noticing the Sunflower lanyard somewhere new: Lego pieces.

The toy company announced on December 3 — International Day of Persons with Disabilities — that it has partnered with Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, the UK company that first created the lanyards in 2016.

Lego is releasing three sets featuring the lanyard: one for its Duplo toys, which are for kids under the age of 8; an airport set for older children; and a set with over 3,000 pieces for adults. The sets will go on sale between January and June 2025.

People will also be able to add the Sunflower lanyard when customizing their own Lego pieces at official Lego stores in parts of Europe and North America.

The Lego Group said it's proud to have created what it calls "the world's first toys to feature the official Sunflower lanyard," and hopes the sets will promote inclusion for people of different ages and with different disabilities.

On Lego's website, Martin Moxness, an adult Sunflower lanyard user, said seeing the lanyard on Lego pieces will help normalize hidden disabilities.

"As a child, this would have been life-changing and would have made me feel seen and accepted," he added.

According to the World Health Organization, one in six people around the world lives with some form of disability, many of them hidden. Disability inclusion is an important part of achieving health for all, it said.

Over 280 airports around the world now recognize the Sunflower lanyard, Hidden Disabilities said.

HSK2--materials and exercises for listenning, reading and speaking

你家有几口人？

Ｉ had a medical checkup recently. It's once a year but I have 3 difficulties on it.
Today I'm going to talk about my 3 difficulties. Then, please listen to me. Thank you!
*******************************************************************
今年も　4月に、市役所から「特定健診受診券」という紙が送られてきました。　これは、年に1回、健康チェックをしてくださいという　案内です。
いつも　健康診断までに「痩せなくちゃ！」と思うのですが、痩せたためしがありません。
それに今年は2月に手首を骨折してから、運動もあまりしませんでした。コロナで家にいることが増えて太り、骨折後も太り……。　やばいです！
恐ろしくて　最近は体重計に　乗りもしていませんでした。そんなわけで、今年の健診には　３つの難関がありました。
まず一つめは、当日までに　大腸がん検診のために　便を2回取らなくてはいけないことでした。なぜなら、私は便秘をよくするので、いつ便を取れるかわからないからです。でも、今年は意外にすぐ取ることができました。つぎの難関は、当日です。怖いのは　体重計と　お腹の周りの長さ、腹囲を測るときです。できるだけ、そおっと　体重計に乗りましたが、電子体重計は正確に私の体重を計測していました。　しっかり増えていました。腹囲のほうは、お腹をへこませましたが、看護師さんに「楽にしてください」と言われ、緩んだところを測られてしまいました。　かなり大きくなっていました。やっぱりなあ・・・という結果でした。
最後の難関は検査後です。健診後すぐに飲んだ下剤が効いてくるときです。なぜ下剤を飲むかというと、胃がん健診でバリウムを飲んでいるからです。バリウムを体の外に出してしまわなければいけないんです。　下剤が効いてきたのは4時間後ぐらいでした。家でトムクルーズの映画『オブリビオン』を見ている最中でした。ストーリーが盛り上がって　トムクルーズ演じるジャックにピンチが訪れたとき、私にもピンチがやってきました。思わず、「映画、止めといて」と言うと、「これ、テレビやから、止まらないよ」と。ああ、そうでした。　私は大急ぎでトイレに駆け込みました。映画が終るまで3－4回はトイレに走ったと思います。
さて、あとは3週間後に届く検査結果を待つだけです。本当のピンチはそれからかもしれません。

She's using grammar points from Genki 1,2. Simple and Easy, but some of the sentences would be a little challenging because she combines different grammar points in a sentence,  which Japanese people do all the time.
