I invite you to put yourself in the story. This is your family story. If you are a Christian, then we are family, and this is a part of your family story, because it's all about our father. This is a story about the heart of your Heavenly Father. It expresses His heart toward you and how He wants to move through you. Family Background: History of infertility and miscarriage, death of a child. We had a son after 12 years of marriage; then adopted a teen-aged daughter from Ukraine.God moved in 3 countries to bring a second daughter out of Ukraine during the war and into the security of our family. We faced many obstacles and the journey seemed impossible, but God made the way.Psalm 113:9 says “He [God] gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the LORD!” What God has taught me through this ongoing adventure with Him and some things He might be speaking to you:Receive God's love for you and for others: This is a story of God's miraculous intervention. This story demonstrates His heart for the one alone and in distress. It was God's heart for our daughter that made this happen. It was not my love and compassion in going after her, God gave me His heart. Do you recognize God's extravagant love for you? Will you take the risk to give Him your heart?  Maybe you know his love for you. God works through His children to demonstrate His radical love. Will you allow Him to work through you?Listen: God speaks. Make room to hear Him. Seek Him/ Follow God with all your heart even when you don't see the promise fulfilled. Listen for God's Voice: Position yourself to hear Him. Learn to hear Him. Treasure His instruction. Obey–When we yield to Him, God does things that we couldn't do on our own. Your obedience may lead to you answered prayer. There were so many times that we could have given up. Don't be afraid. Or, do it afraid. Either way, take the next step. What adventure awaits when we partner with God to attempt the impossible! Trust God. 2 Timothy 1:7 7 How is God speaking to you right now?(Receive) Is He revealing His heart toward you. Do you recognize how He has pursued you? Will you say ‘Yes' to His invitation to follow Him?(Listen) Do you need to make room in your life in your schedule to hear His voice? What changes do you need to make?(Obey) Maybe you've heard God's voice and you need to take a step toward where He is calling you. Will you say “yes” to His invitation to follow Him? Yes to this adventure with God.

The New American Post Racial Movement Evolving Beyond Labels and Classifications When more sets of blue eyes began to glare a me with hatred and disgust–or rather, when I decided to realize it and ponder upon why, with growing distrust–it became apparent that the world, though always at war, was on the brink of an evolutionary climax; That the caucasian race had murdered, slaughtered, systemized and colonized so many without justice or reparation, that the genetic memories of our ancestors had somehow been activated, forced into an awakening neither wanted or sought, but apparently needed; And here I was, on the wrong side–or, really, neither side at all–but of course, unable to choose–without any action, I am automatically judged to be a black woman–the most challenging existence in humanity. Still, I consider myself less black than I'm assumed to be–or, rather, not black at all; Even the term ‘African American' has irked me since childhood, and now, certainly as a adult has no assemblance to what I consider to be my ‘race', because I haven't one. I don't ‘hate' the white man–I'd no reason to believe in ‘The Blue Eyed Devil', a folk tale told for centuries in African American culture, if I hadn't met such hate and deception, judgment, and adversity from it; Now, after the Great American Pandemic, after having spent almost a total of three years making entirely too much eye contact, it has become easy to differentiate between species of human, and their consistent traits and behaviors– Ahem.

The New American Post Racial Movement Evolving Beyond Labels and Classifications When more sets of blue eyes began to glare a me with hatred and disgust–or rather, when I decided to realize it and ponder upon why, with growing distrust–it became apparent that the world, though always at war, was on the brink of an evolutionary climax; That the caucasian race had murdered, slaughtered, systemized and colonized so many without justice or reparation, that the genetic memories of our ancestors had somehow been activated, forced into an awakening neither wanted or sought, but apparently needed; And here I was, on the wrong side–or, really, neither side at all–but of course, unable to choose–without any action, I am automatically judged to be a black woman–the most challenging existence in humanity. Still, I consider myself less black than I'm assumed to be–or, rather, not black at all; Even the term ‘African American' has irked me since childhood, and now, certainly as a adult has no assemblance to what I consider to be my ‘race', because I haven't one. I don't ‘hate' the white man–I'd no reason to believe in ‘The Blue Eyed Devil', a folk tale told for centuries in African American culture, if I hadn't met such hate and deception, judgment, and adversity from it; Now, after the Great American Pandemic, after having spent almost a total of three years making entirely too much eye contact, it has become easy to differentiate between species of human, and their consistent traits and behaviors– Ahem. Coconut fried rice Raw Coconut Meat Anaheim peppers White Mushroom 1/2 Large White Onion 1/2 Large Red Onion 1 Large Carrot 1 zuchinni Garlic salt So anyway… Wait. Why are blue eyed people acting so crazy? I told you, it's a race war. That's fucked up. Just look away. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME. You shouldn't exist. OKay. So, wait. What. Go back. Go back what. People are being controlled by their phones? People are being controlled by a number of things. Hey. What. Go kill yourself. Who said that? WHITE POWER!!!! Oh, hey Skrillex. Stop doing that. doing WHAT. THAT. DON'T. FALL. IN– GOD! WHAT! Something is happening. What is it? I don't know! Let me see. … … …. Didn't this start out as a scientific article? I'm not a scientist. I hate that show. MORE WHITE POWER. God. What? Hollywood's still racist. Blue eyes tell lies. FLASHBACK: Are you jewish? …In my heart. You know, Judaism is the only religion that doesn't allow colored people to join. …no, it isn't… CUT BACK TO I think he meant The Illuminati. CUT BACK TO FLASHBACK …It's a tough club to get into. [winks] CUT BACK TO –yeah, I'm pretty sure he meant The Illuminati. What's the difference. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? —yeah. Between being Jewish, and being in The Illuminati? Yeah. What's the difference. Are you serious? No, I'm Illuminati. Jesus fucking Christ. He was Jewish. OhMyGod. Definitely.

Bon Odori or Bon Dancing is a summer tradition held all over Japan. It's a chance for families to get together and have an enjoyable time dancing to the rhythmical music. Seeing as how the Obon season is also when ancestors visit from beyond the grave, they, too, can take part in the festivities if they wish.   You can also find me on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/UncannyJapan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncannyjapan/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thersamatsuura Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncannyjapan/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqAtoUS51HDi2d96_aLv95w Website: https://www.uncannyjapan.com/ Transcript: Going Back in Time: Gatherings of people being what they are these days, let’s all go back in time and get together there. How about 200 years ago. Edo Era, Japan. It’s summer, of course, Obon actually. You’ll notice we’re in a modest-sized village. Dusty streets, houses of wood, with thick washi-paper windows, and ceramic-tiled roofs. There is a line of paper oil lanterns winding through the road and if we follow it, it will take us to the cemetery. Two days ago, you weren't’ here but, it was the first day of Obon and everyone practiced mukaebi. That is they waited until dusk, when the sky turns a soft blue, the cicada quiet, and the heat lets up just a little, and one by one the families gathered at their front gates or doors, where they kneeled around a single unglazed plate. In the plate they piled a bunch of peeled hemp stems called ogara. They then lit them on fire and pressed their hands together in prayer. “Kono hi wo mejirushi ni, ie ni kaete kudasai.” “Please use this fire to find your way home.” They were speaking to their ancestors, spirits that have just been released from the world of the dead and are flying or crawling, or riding those quick cucumber horses so they can rejoin our world for a few days. You see, in the past, there have been mistakes, confusion, and sometimes a soul ends up lost or in the wrong home. This practice of mukaebi insures this doesn’t happen. Each spirit follows the light and smoke of their family’s fire. But that was two days ago. Today, again the sun is starting to set, the heat slightly dissipating. Look around. We’re all dressed in colorful yukata or jinbei, wearing straw or wooden shoes. We’ve got paper fans. Oh, some of us, I see, are wearing masks. There’s a few kitsune/fox masks and there’s a hyottoko. You know the goofy mask of the man with the white face and red cheeks, a tenugui-bandana tied around his head, and his mouth pursed and kind of skewed to the side. I wonder who that is? Listen? Do you hear that? It’s time for bon odori. The entire village will be there. Intro: Hey hey, Uncanny Japaners, Uncanny Japanites, Uncanny Japanabes. Okay. I’ll stop. Tweet to me if you know what super cool podcaster I was channeling just now. I think the heat might be getting to me. Today’s high is 37 degrees, that’s 98 to my fellow Americans and I can’t record with the air conditioner on, so it’s a little warm. Anyway, I hope you are all well and not too hot or cold depending on where you are in the world. Japan Times: I have a little news. I was in The Japan Times twice in the past two weeks. Once with a piece called “Top Podcasts about the Land of the Rising Sun”, written by Claire Williamson. That was a very pleasant surprise. I didn’t even know that was coming out. Thank you Google Alerts for letting me know, and Claire for including us on that very lovely list. The second article wasn’t about the podcast perse but about my writing and books. The title was “Chilling Japanese Ghost Tales with Contemporary Twists to Help you Beat the Summer Heat”, and was written by Kris Kosaka. She also talks about Aoko Matsuda’s book “Where the Wild Ladies Are” and Barry Yourgrau and his “Tokyo Ghost Gaga”. I hope I didn’t butcher his name too badly. Okay, on to today’s topic. I talked about obon way back in episode 8 and 9. There I mentioned the ancestral ghosties riding cucumbers and eggplants, in case you wondering what that was about. So I won’t go into any more details about that. Those are there if you’d like to listen to them. But there is one thing I didn’t cover in those two episodes, and that was bon odori, or bon dancing. When I think of summer in Japan, I think of stag beetles, cold noodles, finely shaved strawberry ice with condensed milk drizzled on top, the most gorgeous and colorful fireworks displays you’ve ever seen in your life, and the summer festivals everywhere that culminate around bon odori. Two Types of Bon Odori: One theory as to the origins of the bon dance is that the monk, Kuya Shonin (born in 903) came up with a practice called nenbutsu odori (念仏踊り). While traveling around Japan he was shocked that people didn’t really know that much about the Buddha and his teachings. After some thought, he got an idea. He traveled again, but this time he went around beating on a small drum, dancing a funky little dance and chanting the sutras. Rightly so, this got people’s attention, especially children who copied him. The monk Kuya then continued traveling, dancing, and singing with the belief he was educating these lay folk about Buddhism. This continued after his death and it was called nenbutsu odori. There was another practice where during obon monks would go around and dance in a circle outside a person’s home while reciting prayers to their deceased relatives. So throughout the years these two practices mixed with local traditions and dances to become what we know today as bon odori. It’s said there are two types of bon dance, dento（伝統）or traditional dancing, which is the older version that I just mentioned and minyo （民謡）which uses folksongs and was developed after WW2. But the truth is my whole purpose of today’s show is to admit that I was never really enthralled with bon odori until one day, I was talking to a friend who said the entire reason for it, and why you see some people wearing masks, is so that the ancestors - who you’ll remember have left the world of the dead and are in town for a few days - can also participate in the fun. That gives a whole new slant on this nighttime gathering; the only light being drooping strings of paper lanterns; the jangling, rhythmical to the point of being hypnotic music; the masks. The Three Big Bon Odori in Japan: Throughout Japan, there are so many different kinds of dances and music and ways of celebrating. But let me introduce you very briefly to the San Dai Bon Odori （三代盆踊り）, or top three obon dances and touch on a tiny bit of what makes them interesting. Let’s start up north with one I just learned about, but is actually the one that convinced me to do today’s show. Nishimonnai Bon Odori (Akita Prefecture): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j-f1AAwW3k It’s performed in Akita Prefecture during obon, of course, and is called Nishimonnai. It’s been around for at least 700 hundred years and has been designated a national intangible folk culture property. There are two different styles of dress the dancers wear. One is the pretty yukata summer dress (indigo, white, yellow, red) tied with an thin obi around the waist, nothing out of the ordinary there. But these dancers all wear these woven, half moon-shaped hats that are pulled down low so you can’t see their faces at all. Beautifully spooky. The second style is again yukata, but instead of the hat the dancer is wearing a dark cloth completely covering their face. There are some eyeholes, but unless you look hard you can’t see them. The music, dance, lyrics and kakegoe （掛け声） (men, calling out to the music) is quite mesmerizing. You can imagine as the night wears on, everyone becoming a little dizzy and drunk on the atmosphere. How easily it would be for a an ancestor or two to slip into the line up and dance alongside everyone else. Especially with all those hidden faces. That’s called Nishimonnai. Gujo Odori (Gifu Prefecture): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtx6OFgpQjw Number two is Guujou odori  郡上おどり Gujo odori takes place every summer in Gifu, in the small city of Gujo. It started about 400 years ago in the Tokugawa Era as a way to get the entire town to come together and celebrate no matter what a person’s societal level or position. So what’s special about Gujo odori? Well, first there is a series of ten songs that are played over and over again. Not just one or two. Second, if you have particularly good dancing technique, you very well could be chosen to receive a certificate. But the word certificate doesn’t do this cool framable paper justice. It’s brush inked, with vermillion stamps, and it sounds like it’s a big deal to get one. And lastly, is that the festival starts in the middle of July and is danced nightly for an entire month, ending with the four days of obon, when the upwards of 250,000 people who have come from all over, start dancing at sunset and keep going all night long until the sunrises again. Which I would guess would make the chances of bumping into great grandma or great grandpa a little higher. Don’t you think? Awa Odori (Shikoku Prefecture): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9dVUSwoxGI Okay, the third dance of the big three is Awa odori (阿波踊り). I think it’s my favorite, too. I literally get goosebumps when I hear the music and watch the dancing. I’ve never even seen it in real life, but as soon as the world gets back to normal, you can bet I’m going to be making the trip down to Tokushima, Shikoku along with 1.3 million other tourists. Seriously. In normal times, that is how many people attend the four-day long festival. The funny thing is, I discovered Awa Odori, from a Japanese music video. The band is called Yura Yura Teikoku, and the song is “Yakousei no Ikimono Sanbiki” and the entire video is three men dressed in yukata, wearing the hyottoko mask (which I described in the intro, mouths pursed, tenugui wrapped around their heads). The men are holding fans and for the entire almost four minutes, they are dancing awa odori. I can’t  describe exactly. The hand movements, the thing they do with their feet, the energy. It still blows my mind. That’s Yura Yura Teikoku, and the song is Yakousei no Ikimono Sanbiki.   So what makes awa odori special? First, it is the most attended with, like I mentioned above, 1.3 million people swooping in from all over Japan. The celebrations literally take place all over the city. As for origins, it seems a certain Daimyo, Hachikusa Iemasa, hosted a drunken celebration on the opening of the Tokushima castle and it kind of took hold. If you’ve never watched Awa odori before, I really encourage you to spend an entire night watching Youtube videos. But for now let me entice you with a description that cannot do the dance justice and is really oversimplifying it, but… There are very broadly two types of dances. I’m not going to say one is performed by all women and the other by men. Because that’s not the case. But the first dance I’ll describe is a more feminine with brightly colored or pastel yukata and dainty, more controlled movements; while the second one is much more, I don’t know, wild? rougher? Okay, in the first one everyone is wearing gorgeous long yukata, and those half moon-shaped, woven hats called amigasa （アミガサ）. But these, unlike the nishimonnai dance in Akita, are tied just over their chins and aren’t pulled down so far, so you can see the dancers’ faces. These dancers also wear white tabi socks and geta shoes and the dance seems to be done mostly tilted forward on the shoes and kind of tapping as they dance. Hands raised high overhead. It’s all very eloquent. Now as beautiful as that is, in the second dance, the more wild one, everyone is wearing either men’s yukata or the shorter jinbei dress, and white tabi socks, not shoes. They can be carrying a fan, or lantern, or nothing at all. What’s fun about them is for headwear, they have a cloth tenugui over their head, with the sides twisted and tied under their noses. And the dance is also very low to the ground, which is pretty impressive. There is also a funny chant you will hear throughout the event if you go. It goes like this: Odoru aho ni / miru aho / onaji aho nara / odorana son, son. The dancers are fools, the watchers are fools, both are fools so why not dance?  So Awa odori is just so much fun and I imagine that’s why it’s the biggest of the three. The nishimonnai in Akita, the gujo odori in Gifu, and the Awa Odori in Shikoku. Some Modern Takes on Bon Odori https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aTqpBrKSBI Now a final, absolutely adorable thing I stumbled across while reading about bon odori. I’m not sure how it happened, but some places actually dance to Bon Jovi for one of the songs. Bon odori. Bon Jovi. Also, I watched some of them on Youtube and Living on a Prayer actually syncs very nicely to the dance. I guess it’s a thing. As well as dancing to Dancing Queen (by ABBA), Staying Alive (Bee Gees), September (Earth, Wind and Fire), and Celebration (Kool and the Gang) to name a few. I’m not sure. But I hope the Buddha wouldn’t mind. Okay, it’s getting late. Look at all these people. Doesn’t it feel like there are more here now than when we started. Hey, is that great, great, great grandma Tora? Doesn’t she look happy. You know, gatherings being what they are these days, all of us meeting up in the Edo Era might sound romantic and everything, but do be careful. Don’t wander off. Because look over there. See that filthy man, skeletal, his dancing somewhat deranged? See the way he stares, eyes too sharp and unblinking, he doesn’t take them off us for a minute, does he? Notice his ratty hair, the pustules all over his skin,  and bright red mouth. If you look closely you can see a fine black fog or mist swirling about him. Don’t let it touch you. Don’t get too close. I don’t know this time very well, but it is whispered that he is the God of Pox, but there are other monsters out there, too, not just smallpox hiding behind masks or friendly faces. There’s diphtheria, measles, cholera, dysentery…you get the picture. Please be careful! That’s it for today. Please consider supporting the show on Patreon. Supporters who pledge in Euros, pounds, or dollars can choose their local currency now so you don’t have to worry about fluctuating exchange rates and extra feeds. Take care and stay safe and thank you all for listening, I’ll talk to you again real soon. Bye bye! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ8PZG2clnM

Repite: make a noise. Shhh...don't make a noise they're sleeping. Who was making all that noise last night? También decimos take photos Repite: take photos - How many photos did you take? I took hundreds of photos. Estoy seguro que sabes que en inglés decimos drive a car or drive a bus or a taxi. Pero cuando hablamos de las motos, las bicicletas y los animales decimos ride - R-I-D-E Repite: to ride a bike, ride a horse, ride a motorbike. Can you ride a motorbike? Have you ever ridden a horse? I would love to ride an elephant. I rode a camel in Egypt. ¿Cómo se traduce 'llevar gafas'? to wear glasses Repite; wear -wear glasses. I wear glasses - I've been wearing glasses for years. He's wearing a jacket - Are you wearing jeans? Luego tenemos la expresión to run for the bus. Repite: the bus - run for - run for the bus. I ran for the bus this morning. ¿Como se dice suerte en inglés? - luck - Repite: luck - Luck es un sustantivo. ¿Cuál es el adjetivo? - lucky. Repite: Lucky. I'm lucky! Are you lucky? Are you a lucky person? I am. I think I'm very lucky. El verbo to book significa reservar. For example you can book a room in a hotel. Repite: to book - to book a room. Can I book a room, please? I'd like to book a room. También puedes book a table in a restaurant. Repite: to book a table. Can I book a table, please? I'd like to book a table for two, please. If you book a room in a hotel, you stay in the hotel. Repite: stay in the hotel. Where are you staying. Are you staying in a hotel? ¿Cómo se dice mandar un correo electrónico en inglés? - to send an email. Repite: send an email. Did you send me an email? I'll send you an email. I'll send you an email next week. Very good! - ¡Muy bien! También en el nivel básico este mes hemos practicado un poco de vocabulario. Vamos a ver si te acuerdas de las palabras.   A dress, skirt, trousers, shirt, socks are all examples of.....clothes. Repite: clothes. I like your clothes. I need new clothes. What do you cut your food with? You cut your food with a...... knife - K-N-I-F-E. Repite: Knife. knife and fork - knife, fork and spoon. Can I have a knife, please? Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the four....seasons. Repite: seasons. What's your favourite season? I like spring and autumn. I think autumn is my favourite season. En el inglés americano, autumn se dice fall - F-A-L-L because the leaves, las ojas, caen de los arboles. What do you usually drink tea and coffee and hot chocolate from? You drink tea and coffee from a ....cup. Not a glass, a cup. You drink Coca Cola from a glass, you drink beer from a glass. You drink tea and coffee from a cup. Repite: cup - a cup - a coffee cup - a tea cup. A cup of coffee. A cup of tea. Now, what is the name of the part of the house where you cook? You cook in the ....kitchen. Repite: kitchen. Ten cuidado con la diferencia entre kitchen and chicken. Chicken is pollo.  Repite: kitchen - chicken - kitchen. We cook in the kitchen. The chicken's in the kitchen. What's the name for the room where you usually have a shower, clean your teeth or wash your face? It's the bathroom. Repite: bathroom. Excuse me, where's the bathroom?   Ok good, now moving on to the intermediate section, Listen: 'Have you ever been to this restaurant?’  - ‘No, this is the first time.’ 'Have you been' is the present perfect tense. Listen: Have you been to New York? Has estado una vez en Nueva York? Repite: Have you been to New York? Have you been here before? Have you ever eaten Japanese food? Listen: We don’t have to be at the meeting. 'Have to' is similar to 'must' for obligation. The difference is that 'must' is often external obligation (it comes from outside the speaker) and 'have to' can be the obligation you feel inside. For example, your boss says "Everyone must go to the meeting", so you feel you have to. The government says "you must pay your taxes" so we all have to pay our taxes. A mother tells her son that he 'must do his homework', so the son tells his friend "I can't play with you now because I have to do my homework. My mother says I have to do my homework." Another difference of course is that 'have to' can change to the past: "I had to do my homework" and to the future "I will have to do my homework" or "I'll have to do my homework". We cannot say, X"I will must do my homework."X That's wrong! Repeat: I'll have to work on Saturday. - I had to work late yesterday. Do we have to go to the meeting? Listen to a different example from the same exercise: "I didn't remember where I had parked my car." Listen again. Which verb tenses do you hear? "I didn't remember where I had parked my car." Did is the past of do, so didn't remember is past simple. What about the second verb tense? I "had parked". Had + past participle is the past perfect tense. I had is often contracted to I'd. Repeat: I'd parked - I'd parked my car. I didn't remember - I didn't remember where I'd parked my car. (No recordaba dónde había aparcado el coche.) Repeat again: I didn't remember where I'd parked my car. - I didn't remember where I'd left my bag. I didn't remember what I'd said to her - I didn't remember what I'd done with my keys. Escucha otro ejemplo y, como antes, piensa cuales son los tiempos verbales: I was sitting on the train when suddenly my mobile rang. I was sitting - past continuous - my mobile rang - past simple. The sitting is the longer action. I was sitting before my mobile rang. I was sitting when my mobile rang, and I was sitting after my mobile rang. Repeat: I was sitting - I was sitting on the train - I was sitting on the train when my mobile rang. I was watching TV when I heard a noise. I was reading when you arrived. I was sleeping when you phoned. Here's one more example from the same exercise. Listen: Exercising before breakfast is the best time if you want to burn calories. Why is 'exercising' a gerund in this sentence? Why is it verb + ing? Well, it's because we often use a gerund as the subject of the sentence. Repeat: Exercising is good for you. Smoking is bad for your health. Jogging is a popular pastime. Reading is something I don't do very often. In the next exercise in this month's 'cuaderno', we looked at some expressions with the verbs get, go and have. Listen and repeat the sentences to practise pronunciation. Listen: How many e-mails do you usually get? Repeat: usually get - do you usually get - How many? How many emails? - How many e-mails do you usually get? Listen: Does she usually get drunk? Repeat: get drunk - usually - usually get drunk - Does she? - Does she usually get drunk? Listen: Did you have a shower? Repeat: have a - have a shower - Did you? - Did you have a shower?

Listen: Where did you did you get your phone? Repeat: your phone - get your phone - Where did you? - Where did you get? Where did you get your phone? Listen: Where did you go for lunch? Repeat: lunch - for -  for lunch - go for lunch - Where did you? - Where did you go for lunch? Listen: Who did you have dinner with yesterday? Repeat: have dinner with - have dinner with yesterday - Who did you? - Who did you have dinner with yesterday? In the advanced section this month, we looked at some more collocations. The first of which was to make the best of something which means to do as well as possible with something that is not too promising. Repeat: I'll make the best of it. I don't like it, but I'll make the best of it. we can also say 'make the most of it'. Repeat: make the most of it. Make the most of a bad situation. Make the most of a bad job. Make the most of your time in the UK. (¡aprovechadlo!) Now, if you draw (someone’s) attention to something, you attract someone to notice or focus on someone or something. Repeat: draw your attention to - let me draw your attention to this wonderful painting. My attention was drawn to a small insect on the floor. If you jump for joy you are extremely happy. Repeat: I jumped for joy when I got my exam results. When she agreed to have dinner with me I jumped for joy. The children jumped for joy when we got to Disneyland. To draw out something means to make it longer than it needs to be. Repeat: to draw out a meeting. It wasn't necessary to draw out the meeting for so long. Why does he have to draw it out so much? Repeat: to draw out something. If you make allowances (for something) you take certain facts or circumstances into consideration. Repeat: to make allowances for. When we go to the UK we should make allowances for the weather. You have to make allowances for the age of the property. If you jump or are thrown in at the deep end, you start doing something new and difficult without help or preparation. Repeat: jump in at the deep end / thrown in at the deep end. I was thrown in at the deep end when I worked in a professional kitchen for the first time. You should jump in at the deep end and buy your first computer. Repeat: jump in at the deep end - I was thrown in at the deep end. stand a chance (of doing something) is another popular collocation. It means there's a possibility. You have a chance that something will happen. Repeat: stand a chance - Do you think I stand a chance? Do I stand a chance of winning? No, I don't think you stand a chance to be honest! You don't stand a chance of getting that job. Our last expression was to jump the gun which means to start before the starting signal. Guns used to be used to start a race. If you start before the gun goes 'bang' you jump the gun. Repeat: jump the gun. Don't jump the gun. Be patient! You're always jumping the gun. He apologised for jumping the gun.   In the Business English section this month we looked at some more business English vocabulary, and the first expression was to become head of something. This means to be in charge, to manage (ser el jefe). Repeat: She's head of sales. He's head of design. She became head of the company in March. Who's head of the department? Let's discuss means vamos hablar de.... Repeat: let's discuss the sales figures. Let's discuss your role in the company. Let's discuss the release date of the new product. outsourcing is subcontracting to an outside company. In Spanish, I think it's subcontratación o la externalización of a product or service. Repeat: outsourcing. Many companies are outsourcing their manufacturing. It's cheaper to outsource the work. Finally, the phrasal verb to run on means to continue without stopping or go on longer than expected. Repeat. Run on. What's the past of run? - ran. Repeat: the meeting ran on. - The meeting ran on for nearly three hours. - The story ran on for months. ¡Muy bien! - Very good! We also gave you some more sentences to translate in this month's cuaderno. First, you had to translate from English to Spanish. So,  I'll say the English sentences and you say the Spanish translation before I do. Then, repeat the English sentence after me to practise pronunciation. Are you ready? They didn’t want to stay here. - No querían quedarse aquí. Repite: They didn’t want to stay here. - stay here - to stay here - They didn’t want - They didn’t want to stay here.

I took hundreds of photos.   Estoy seguro que sabes que en inglés decimos drive a car or drive a bus or a taxi. Pero cuando hablamos de las motos, las bicicletas y los animales decimos ride - R-I-D-E Repite: to ride a bike, ride a horse, ride a motorbike. Can you ride a motorbike? Have you ever ridden a horse? I would love to ride an elephant. I rode a camel in Egypt.   ¿Cómo se traduce 'llevar gafas'? to wear glasses Repite; wear -wear glasses. I wear glasses - I've been wearing glasses for years. He's wearing a jacket - Are you wearing jeans? Luego tenemos la expresión to run for the bus. Repite: the bus - run for - run for the bus.

Are you a lucky person? I am. I think I'm very lucky.   El verbo to book significa reservar. For example you can book a room in a hotel. Repite: to book - to book a room. Can I book a room, please? I'd like to book a room. También puedes book a table in a restaurant. Repite: to book a table. Can I book a table, please? I'd like to book a table for two, please.   If you book a room in a hotel, you stay in the hotel. Repite: stay in the hotel. Where are you staying. Are you staying in a hotel?   ¿Cómo se dice mandar un correo electrónico en inglés? - to send an email. Repite: send an email. Did you send me an email? I'll send you an email.

Vamos a ver si te acuerdas de las palabras.     A dress, skirt, trousers, shirt, socks are all examples of.....clothes. Repite: clothes. I like your clothes. I need new clothes.   What do you cut your food with? You cut your food with a...... knife - K-N-I-F-E. Repite: Knife. knife and fork - knife, fork and spoon. Can I have a knife, please?   Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the four....seasons. Repite: seasons. What's your favourite season? I like spring and autumn.

Listen: Have you been to New York? Has estado una vez en Nueva York? Repite: Have you been to New York? Have you been here before? Have you ever eaten Japanese food?   Listen: We don’t have to be at the meeting. 'Have to' is similar to 'must' for obligation. The difference is that 'must' is often external obligation (it comes from outside the speaker) and 'have to' can be the obligation you feel inside. For example, your boss says "Everyone must go to the meeting", so you feel you have to. The government says "you must pay your taxes" so we all have to pay our taxes. A mother tells her son that he 'must do his homework', so the son tells his friend "I can't play with you now because I have to do my homework. My mother says I have to do my homework."   Another difference of course is that 'have to' can change to the past: "I had to do my homework" and to the future "I will have to do my homework" or "I'll have to do my homework". We cannot say, X"I will must do my homework."X That's wrong!   Repeat: I'll have to work on Saturday. - I had to work late yesterday. Do we have to go to the meeting?   Listen to a different example from the same exercise: "I didn't remember where I had parked my car." Listen again. Which verb tenses do you hear? "I didn't remember where I had parked my car." Did is the past of do, so didn't remember is past simple. What about the second verb tense? I "had parked". Had + past participle is the past perfect tense. I had is often contracted to I'd. Repeat: I'd parked - I'd parked my car. I didn't remember - I didn't remember where I'd parked my car. (No recordaba dónde había aparcado el coche.) Repeat again: I didn't remember where I'd parked my car. - I didn't remember where I'd left my bag. I didn't remember what I'd said to her - I didn't remember what I'd done with my keys.   Escucha otro ejemplo y, como antes, piensa cuales son los tiempos verbales: I was sitting on the train when suddenly my mobile rang.   I was sitting - past continuous - my mobile rang - past simple. The sitting is the longer action. I was sitting before my mobile rang. I was sitting when my mobile rang, and I was sitting after my mobile rang. Repeat: I was sitting - I was sitting on the train - I was sitting on the train when my mobile rang. I was watching TV when I heard a noise. I was reading when you arrived. I was sleeping when you phoned.   Here's one more example from the same exercise. Listen: Exercising before breakfast is the best time if you want to burn calories. Why is 'exercising' a gerund in this sentence? Why is it verb + ing? Well, it's because we often use a gerund as the subject of the sentence. Repeat: Exercising is good for you. Smoking is bad for your health. Jogging is a popular pastime. Reading is something I don't do very often.   In the next exercise in this month's 'cuaderno', we looked at some expressions with the verbs get, go and have. Listen and repeat the sentences to practise pronunciation. Listen:                                                                 How many e-mails do you usually get?
