Today's topic is, how to be more confident when speaking in meetings.

Some of you might know this already but my full time job is working with non native English speakers one to one on video calls to improve their’s confidence and ability when using English at work. And the number one thing that people tell me they need to improve is their confidence in meetings. How can I become more confident in meetings, how can I express my ideas better, how can I make my meetings easier. This is what we’re going to discuss today. 

For non-native English speakers, speaking in meetings can be a challenging and daunting task. Whether you’re presenting in front of a large group or just participating in a small discussion, it can be difficult to feel confident in your ability to express yourself. However, with a few simple tips, you can start speaking more confidently in meetings sooner rather than later.

At the same time, we’re going to look at some useful vocabulary and sentence structures that we can use to do this. So if you want to grab a pen to take some notes, feel free, and let’s get started.

Oh, and right at the end we’ll review a couple of the more interesting pieces of vocabulary I’ve included in today’s podcast.

If you thought social media was just a place for viral dances and cat photos, think again.

Popular influencers on apps like TikTok and YouTube have been boosting book sales with their videos.

And many are watched by millions.

The BookTok community on TikTok has been influential in encouraging users — who are often young people — to buy real books in bookshops.

But a survey from 2022 found that YouTube is actually the most popular place for young people to discover new books on social media.

The survey was done in November 2022 by Nielsen Book Data. It found that in the UK, 34% of people aged between 14 and 25 used YouTube — which is known for its BookTube community — for their book ideas.

TikTok was used by 32%, and 27% went to Instagram to find out about new books.

Some reports in recent years have said that young people are reading less than ever. But according to The Guardian, people in the 14 to 25 age group bought around 61 million books in the UK in 2022.

This was 18% of all books bought.

And it's not just social media where they're finding reading recommendations.

The most common way to discover new books is by talking to friends. Forty-one percent said they do this, while 35% find out about their books by visiting bookshops.

The survey also reported that fantasy action and fantasy adventure stories are the most popular among young people.

Survey: Young People Turn to Social Media for New Books

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日の天気は雨。
今の気温は23℃。朝なので少し肌寒いです。

今日は北海道について紹介(しょうかい)します。



北海道の面積は、83,500㎢
人口は、516万人

道の木はエゾマツ、アカエゾマツ、
道の花はハマナス、
道の鳥はタンチョウです。

47都道府県中で唯一「道」という呼び方の場所です。
「都道府県の魅力度ランキング」で2021年では、全国で1位です。観光に行きたい場所でも1位、住みたい場所でも全国で3位と、人気がある場所です。

北海道には、アイヌという民族がいました。日本人（和人）は古代には渡嶋（わたりのしま）、近代に至るまでアイヌを蝦夷（えぞ)と呼んでいました。そして、この土地は蝦夷地（えぞち）などとよばれていました。

1869年（明治2年）、蝦夷地という名前から「北海道」とすることが決まりました。

今では、札幌市が1番人口が多くて、190万人が住んでいます。夏には観光、冬にはウインタースポーツもでき、2月には雪まつりもあります。

みなさんの北海道で好きなところがあれば、教えてくださいね。これから、少しずつ、47都道府県の紹介もしていきます。


ぜひ、日本語のレッスンで一緒にお話しましょう！
それではまた！
