HSK1 第12课  明天天气怎么样

Throughout the 20th century, many scientists believed that bilingual children would have trouble concentrating and learning in school. In the last decade, however, studies have proved just the opposite.

People that speak more than one language often perform better on tests that measure problem solving, concentration, mental flexibility and multitasking.

Basically, speaking more than one language keeps your brain fit!

Over half of the world’s population speak more than one language, and most countries have more than one official language. Native English speakers usually only grow up speaking one language.

Young children learn language easily, but that’s because they’re constantly surrounded by native speakers! Unfortunately, adults don’t have that luxury.

Bilingual brains have more grey matter. This part of the brain controls our muscles, sight, hearing, emotions, speech, and decision making. Learning another language makes our brains work harder and builds up our grey matter.

Some schools in the U.K. and America have started conducting lessons in one language in the morning and switching to a different language for lessons in the afternoon. Teachers say that the children concentrate much better and have more self-esteem.

For adults, it’s sometimes hard to stay motivated when learning another language, so make sure it’s always an enjoyable experience! Be sure to set goals for yourself, try a lot of different learning activities and talk to native speakers as much as you can.

Don’t worry about the mistakes you make, after all, the reward for all that hard work is well worth it!

Ciao studenti e studentesse di tutto il mondo e benvenuti nel quinto episodio di “Impara l'italiano con Isa”! 🌍📚😃 In questo podcast, come vi ho anticipato in quello precedente, parleremo di un simbolo segreto. Ho scoperto, dopo aver acquistato la mia auto, che sono ormai quasi vent’anni che su ogni auto di nuova produzione dello stesso marchio della mia, viene inciso e nascosto da qualche parte nell’abitacolo uno squalo. Vuoi scoprire di quale auto sto parlando e la motivazione di questa scelta di design? Ascolta il podcast per scoprirlo! 🦈🚗
If you need the transcription, I could provide to give it to you, so feel free to contact me with a message! :)

Episode 12: Colleagues and Peers: Who do you spend the most time with?

ついにエアフライヤーを買いました。正確に言うとパートナーが私の誕生日に買ってくれました。

エアフライヤーとは高温の熱風を使って食べ物を調理する機械です。これを使うと普通のオーブンより速く調理ができ、材料の外側がカリカリになるので揚げ物のようになります。ちなみに日本ではノンフライヤーというそうです。

私は一年前ぐらいからエアフライヤーを買おうかどうか迷っていました。すぐ買わなかった理由は二つあります。
一つ目は私の家のキッチンがとても狭いからです。エアフライヤーはとても大きいです。エアフライヤーをキッチンに置くと材料を切ったり、パンの生地をこねたりするスペースがなくなります。
二つ目の理由は私がすぐに飽きる性格だからです。新しいものを買ってもすぐに飽きて使わなくなったら、お金が無駄になってしまいます。

実際エアフライヤーを使ってみると、うわさどおり簡単にフライドチキンやフライドポテトを作ることができました。外側がカリカリになってまるで油で揚げたみたいでした。フライドチキンやフライドポテトはいつもレストランで食べたり、買って食べたりしていたので自分で作れるようになったのはうれしいです。また、今までオーブンで作っていた料理をエアフライヤーを使って作ると半分ぐらいの時間で出来上がります。私は最近エアフライヤーで焼きとうもろこしを作ることにはまっています。

これから飽きないようにエアフライヤーのレシピをいろいろ試してみたいと思います。皆さんはエアフライヤーを持っていますか？エアフライヤー用のレシピでおすすめはありますか？よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。



正確に言うと：せいかくにいうと　To be accurate
高温：こうおん　high temparature
熱風：ねっぷう　heat air
カリカリ: crunchy
ちなみに: as a side note
迷っていました: I wasn’t able decide it
パンの生地（きじ）をこねる   kneed dough
飽きる：あきる   get tired of
性格：せいかく   personality, character
お金が無駄になる：おかねがむだになる　waste money    
実際：じっさい   actually
うわさ： rumor
揚げ物：あげもの deep fried food
焼きとうもろこし：grilled corn
〜にはまっています：I’m into〜

By understanding its dynamics, building strong relationships, and maintaining a positive attitude, you can navigate these challenges effectively and create a more positive work environment.

IELTS Speaking preparation. Band 8-9 Answers. Part 1 - Law.

Q. Why do you think law and order are important?
Q. Who/which department is most responsible for enforcing the law?
Q. Should laws be more universal?
Q. Is there any law you think is too strict? [Why?/Why not?]
Q. How do people in your country generally think about obeying laws?

Try to connect with what you think ( not what the questions is making you think about). I found it's a lot easier for students to speak what they believe or believed in the past.

Let me know how easy it's going to be doing it this way.
