the apprentice

| コメント(15)
subject : the apprentice
teacher : noel , kisse

summary

based on this title , 
i think this article is written about internship program.
but after reading this article , i know the apprentice is  a show on TV , so what i think of article is wrong.

the apprentice is a reality television show that originated in the United States on NBC.

and then , it has been produced in other country.

the show depicted 16 contestants competing in an elimination-style competition.

the winning contestant would have the opportunity to get money or to work for his companies.

means
apprentice:a young person who works for an employer for a fixed period of time in order to learn the particular skills needed in their job

contestant:a person who takes part in a contest

think-over

i had  never seen the apprentice before reading this article , a while ago i saw it in youtube.
but Unfortunately,i didn't understand what they say.
so when i improve my english skill , i try it again.

checking "the apprentice" on the internet , i know there are many TV programs like this all over the world. 
but in japan we don't have it.
 
that because it reflected by the Japanese character to get around competitions.

for instance , recently schools introduce a more relaxed education policy.

A specific example is we don't rank in marathon at school.

speaking of competition TV show, 
the Lost is famous in japan.

subject: english in a month
teacher : kerryanne

Summary

based on this title , i don't have any idea of article.
because i don't understand the relationship between english and sports which is this article theme.

fabio capello is trying to comunicate in english.
so he publicly state that i will speak english in a month.

i don't know the meaning of two parts.

first ,- .
last ,-.

i understand each word is used in this sentence.
dose this sentence mean that the Italian coach is getting really good at teaching soccer?

think-over

speaking of soccer , 
japan defeated the united states in the woman's world cup final.

i am unhappy with watching the game on live TV.
because at the day of the game i had a job , i slept.

i love to play sports, but i dont really like to wach them.
there is exceptions such as world cup and the Olympic games.

Whenever the Olympic Games are held, i cheer with my friend with drinking. 

i watch sports on special occasions such as wold cup and the Olympic Games.

as they say , Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
so i think he believe himself more strongly.

at a time , i think it's very difficult to believe oneself.
There aren't any perfect people.
Nobody has no experience with failure.
that make someone feel vulnerable every once in a while.

"keeping cool or (i) can't complain " experssing your state of health and happiness.

"keeping out of trouble" telling how you have been doing.

i think the best way to comunicate with other people is to talk face to face in same language.
so it's difficult to comunicate with them through translator.

i didn't understand "twisting things" means.

twist means "to bend or turn sth into a particular shape" .

stock phrase

  • Are you involved in any type of sport?
  • i try to ride load bike , golf and soccer.

Subject:teaching rural farmers with cell phone videos
teacher:

Summary

based on this title , 
i think this article is written about how you teach rural farmers by using cell phone .


as you know , mobile phones are used extensively for  any case like business, medical care , agriculture.

among them , this article is written about use of mobile phone to lives in rural areas.

mobile phone has numerous function like call , check on the internet , see graphics.

in graphics we can understand more easy than in words ,then on this occasion graphics is focused . 

concretely speaking, 
first , someone make videos to help people in developing countries improve their lives.
then people in rural areas download it and see it with mobile phone.

in one month , the video has spread to one hundred eighteen people in fifty different villages .

so we think that this is just incredible impact way.

think-over

as they say , whether tools is helpful or not changes depending on how to use.

after reading this article , i think that.

it's important to invent something for increased convenience , as the same important to put previously-anything to good use.
Title :enjoying outdoor cooking , without the unwanted visitors
teacher : john

Summary

No11

based on this tile , 
i think this article is written about what you do for enjoying outdoor cooking , and what the unwanted visitors is .

the sunshine and warm weather attract to many people to eat outside.

on the other side , the food go bad under the warm sun.

truly there are so many people get sick from food.

we need to know how to handle food safely and to prevent food-borne illness.

One method you can know it is to use the hotline of the United states department of agriculture. 

the Dr at Georgetown hospital says that " one of the most important things it to reduce their risk of having stomach trouble that your meat is adequately cooked.


think-over

why do the warmer months bring more people outside? 
because many people feel better thanks to under the warm sun.

to my surprise , about one in six americans get sick from each year , described in this article.
why do so many people get sick in america?

first , to explain the reason i'll make a comparison between america and japanese 

as described in this article , in America more than half of all people cook outside through out the year.
i'll make a comparison between america and japanese 
the number of people in America who get chances to go outside with food are much more than japan.
I could think of two possible reasons according to it.
one , the more chances you get to go outside with food , the more people get sick.バーベキューをやる回数が多いから、

The more awareness you have of your own and each other's history, the richer the potential for the relationship
we can expect it from n of this article .
we 


i have one question.
at second sentence in paragraph 1 , why does writer use not "may hope" but "may be hoping ".

could you tell me what this difference mean ?

speaking of outdoor cooking , i often barbecue in my free time .
and after this class , truly i do it.

i do it at riverside place for barbecue.

Title: the $1000 Pizza
teacher : 

i'd like to study news lesson No.9.

Summary

based on this title, 
i think this article is written about why the Pizza is so expensive.

the pizza was named "Luxuary Pizza" , being offered at Nino's bellissima.

The size of it is 30 cm , being same size as usual Pizza .

Surprisingly, it contains Lobster and six types of caviar.

if you got it , you would order it a day ahead because of  the delivery of caviar.

Stock-phrase

if i was asked "would you pay this Pizza?", i would answer i'll pass .

but i'm interested in it , i'll think it again if my daily wage is the same as the price for it.

Question 

i have a question about method used for auxiliary verb.

at fist sentence of this article , i don't understand why does they use might?

would you put this sentence differently?

if i want to say "a restaurant owner believe strongly someone want to eat. " , what kind of auxiliary verb do i use.

subject: the $1.3million website
teacher : T.john

Summary

based on this title, 
i think this article is written about why it cost too much money to build a website.

Stock-phrase

the Government's way of using money is wholly absurd.

There have been similar cases of the government's way of using money in japan.

because the cost financed entirely by taxes i think , there must be more accountability of how taxes are spent.

the government must gain taxpayer acceptance for the use of taxes.

on the other hand , we must monitor how tax moneys are used.

i don't know about hungary , so i check it on the internet.

the Hungary's population now stand at around 10 million people.

normal GDP is around $130 billion , so the cost of website is responsible for about a hundredth part of normal GDP.

GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product.

This showed that the cost of website is so expensive , i understand.

to tell the truth , i'm indifferent to political affairs.
because I don't expect anything from the government.

but once i know about it  , i think i can't help paying attention to politics.

i don't have any question.

Summary

based on this title , 
this article is written about who earns one's money most in the world , and how he do it. 

Stock-phrase

i don't know Buffett is the most wealthy in the would , but i know by his name .

it all started that  my friend said to me he started playing stock market.

i have an interest in it from before ,so then i checked investment on the internet. 

i know that someone  have luck with an investment,on the other hand more or less the same number of people failed it.

though buffet says that the companies that he only invests has the content and purpose of those activities he understands , it's very hard to understand the difference to the other company, i think.

as you say , There are no shortcuts to success.

We finally got some sunshine today in japan.
i ride a road bike for 3hours.

it made me feel refreshed.

thinking-over

i can't give any example concerning to rich mans.

this article is written about what new apps is like , and how you use it.

Summary

you can lean english over mobile phone , by using new apps.

Karaoke4einglish creates two applications , and that help you study the language.

there are many beneficial capability for studying english in this apps.

think-over

after reading this article , i think it's very useful to learn English over mobile phone because we have it on one at all times.

as you know , it require patience and persistence to keep studying anything , then it's very difficult for anyone.

so we truly need workings that help us to keep studying.

then access-friendly tools like this new apps would do.

seeing the news about cell , i feel like falling behind the times.

not only for learning english but also for time killing , we use apps over cell-phone.

i don't do that , but i see him or her who do that in the train evrytime.

i use cell-phone for only call and mail.

off couse i know thanks to mobile phone ,  i can see tomorrow weather and play games , check anything on the internet, but because of the this small interface i don't feel like doing.


i've studied english for about 15 years old since i was junior high-school student.

my score at TOEIC improved little by little , and recently i could get 725 points at least.

i cant say something that comes into my head.  


A memorable example is that in trains we can see many people who play the game over cell-phone.

actually decade ago every time we use cell , we call or mail someone.

but now thanks to the cell we can see weather or anything , and play games.





and more it's very hard to type.

after seeing this drama again , i think so .

A memorable example is the sequence in which she say  to かんち that

subject:the world's top chefs are in tokyo
teacher:Jenny

Summary

based on this title, 
I think this article is written about who are received high commendation of cooking from over the world , and where you have a delicious meal.

Up until now, if we'd like to eat something delicious, we may go to Paris or New York.

but now  , the restaurant in japan got michelin stars much more than Paris and New york.

so this shows that you can get much chances to really enjoy the delicious food in japan.

think-over

before reading this article , i don't know this fact.

checking  the michelin three-star restaurants in japan on the internet, i got to know that it cost 20-fold the price everyone usually spend at normal restaurants.

of couse i'm truly interested in the taste at internationally-respected restaurants , 
but i think it may be as well to go to a not expensive restaurants 20 times.

speaking of cooking , the most big taste  i think is a barbecue lunch.

and the barbecue is not only good taste , but also we get chances to make best friends with other people through barbecue.

Actually,i do it once a week and last weekend i did it.

Ideally, beef , pork and so on.

on the other hand , i'm not much of a vegetable eater.

after work it sounds ridiculous to cook just for myself, i usually eat out to ramen shop.

stock-phrase

  • i work for at pharmaceutical company.
  • are there any local specialities in philippins?
  • sushi would be best , i think.
  • have you ever tried sushi?
  • what do you do in your free time?
i feel tired because of the weather.
there was about a ten degree difference between this week and last week.

even if you've already tried some of japan's better known specialities in japanese restrants in your own country , you're likely to be surprised by how delicious the original is when served on its home turf.
subject:Obama promises to quite smoking
teacher:Jenny

Summary

maybe  i think it stray from the main points , 
to my surprise , Obama smokes  , doesn't he ?

it's good thing to his quite smoking , because he is president and has a major impact.

Think-Over

i'm addicted smoker too.

i've been smoking since i was 20.

I know that smoking does me absolutely no good.

it is a commonplace to say that Smoking is dangerous to their health.

Quitting will reduce your risk of dying from heart disease , blood vessel disease , lung problems , cancer and stroke.

but i can't stop.

i smoke a two-third pack a day.

many smokers says with confidence that we pays tax much more than non-smoker with paying cigarets.

but i check the background of it on the internet , that's not ture in japan.


now it cost 400 yen a pack , but 600 yen is fairly value of it.

but on the other hand , it's important to protect the rights of smokers.

because to smoke isn't banned by the law ,

  • so I'll write down the URL.
