Today, we will discuss Elon Musk's decision to buy Twitter. This podcast will help the listener/viewer improve his or her pronunciation, listening comprehension, sentence construction, vocabulary and ability to construct sound and articulate arguments in English. This class is for the intermediate to advanced English learner who wants to master business English, not in a vaccuum, but rather in a very real context.  As in all of my podcasts, this one will exam a business-related topic.

文の最後につく「か」　 　「か」 at the end of a sentence

「か」 means not only “question”, but also “proposal” and “reaffirmation” . Let’s see some sample sentences!

こんにちは。おげんきですか。
「おげんきですか」の「か」は、人になにかを聞くときに使いますね。
「いそがしいですか。」「ちょっと　いいですか。」「これはいくらですか。」など、質問するときに使います。
でも、「か」は　質問するときだけ使うのでしょうか。

例えば、
「いっしょに　ご飯　食べようか。」
「ごはんのあとで、花火しようか。」
この「か」は、いっしょに何かをしようと提案したいときに使っています。

それから、
「え！きょうが　かのじょの　誕生日だったのか。わすれてたよ！」
「ああ、これか。　田中さんがおいしいって言ってたアイスクリーム。」
ここで使われている「か」は、再確認したいときに使っています。

このように文の最後につく「か」には　「質問」「提案」「再確認」の３つの使い方があります。
①	Question　質問（しつもん）
②	Proposal　提案（ていあん）
③	Reaffirmation　再確認（さいかくにん）

Learn how to use 想（Miss）

When the end of the working week arrives, it can be a little harder to keep going.

If you work from Monday to Friday, you might find yourself thinking about the weekend as your brain and body get ready to rest. You may feel that you're getting less work done.

You might even feel this way near the end of each work day.

And a study from the US has found that yes, it's true — we aren't as productive and we make more mistakes in the afternoons, especially on Fridays.

While most of us could probably have guessed that result, the researchers said most studies in the past have just asked workers about their feelings related to their productivity.

But this one actually used data based on computer use, including how fast people typed and the numbers of typos they made.

The researchers, from Texas A&M University, looked at the computer use of 789 employees working from the office of a big company in Texas.

They studied them for two years and looked at their computer use at different times of the day and week.

And they found that computer use "dropped significantly" on Fridays.

One of the researchers, Taehyun Roh, said: "Employees were less active in the afternoons, and made more typos in the afternoons — especially on Fridays."

The authors added that results like this should encourage bosses to think about flexible working arrangements or four-day working weeks to get the best from their employees.
