〈#66〉5月26日木曜日　人気！夕張メロンの収穫始まる

这里是one minute Chinese, 中文一分钟，每天都不同！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题是一碗(wan3,bowl,measure word)米饭(mi3fan4,rice)从哪里来？
如果我问，你知道一碗米饭是从哪里来的吗？有的人可能会说，从厨房里来，妈妈准备好了；有人可能会说，是从商店里来的，我们工作赚钱把大米买回来，再用锅把它煮好，变成米饭，才能吃；还有些人会说，一碗米饭是从农民(nong2min2, farmer)那里来，春天把种子(zhong3zi, seeds)种(zhong4,to sow)下去，每天浇水(jiao1shui3, watering)施肥(shi1fei2,apply fertilizer)，工作一年，大米才长大可以卖；也还有一些人可能会这样说，一碗米饭从天地之间来，空气，泥土，雨水，大自然里的一切，赐(ci4,given by the God)给我们可以吃的食物。我想，正是因为上面的这些答案，所以，我们很多人会在吃饭之前，感谢和祈祷(qi3dao3, to pray)。感谢爸爸妈妈，感谢工作赚钱的人，感谢卖米的人，感谢农民，感谢大自然！感谢一切！ 希望大家有饭吃，有工作做，能生活在美好的大自然里，希望一切都好。

Episode 4 一碗米饭从哪里来？ Where does a bowl of rice come from?

Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 1 of 15: /æ/ black cat. The mouth must be open and wide for this sound, maybe a little more than you are used to in your native language.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /æ/, /æ/, /æ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
black
cat
bad
can
have
laugh
sad
tax
thank

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
eggplant
gather
happen
master
command
family
unsatisfied
understand
imagine

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The mad cat had a hat.
It is bad to have a laugh when your family is sad.
I can imagine you’re unsatisfied with the master’s command.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.

どうして1月に、標高800ｍの高野山にアルバイトに行ってしまったんだろう。どうして毎朝、雪道を往復6キロ、電チャリ（電動自転車）でお寺に通うことになったんだろう。下山すれば、すべては夢まぼろし。ロマンチックな和歌山の思い出を聞いてください。十日間の山ごもりで、すっかり空海（くうかい）さん推しになりました。最後はハルカちゃんにお墓の相談してます…

Before you take your IELTS speaking exam don’t you think it would be a a good idea to know what the examiners are looking for? What’s the difference between a band 5 and a band 6 ? What do you have to do to get a band 7 ? Why do some people get band 8? What’s the difference between a 7 and 8, or the difference between 8 and 9? IELTS examiners mark your work according to 4 different skills, or criteria. The first is 'fluency and coherence'. This podcast teaches you the key differences between different band scores when examiners mark your speaking test according to fluency and coherence.
