Good morning everyone! I`m back with more useful and interesting topic. Previously we learned what an idiom is and how they are used in English. Today, I`m going to share some weather idioms. Yes, you heard it right weather is also used in idioms. Now let`s get started, here are some useful idioms to make you sound more native.
1. Raining cats and dogs- You can used this to express that it is raining heavily.
Example: It is raining cats and dogs today, so don`t forget to bring an umbrella.
2. Take a rain check- This idiom can be used to deny an invitation or to tell someone that you need to check your
schedule.
Example: I want to go on a trip with you next week but I might need to take a rain
check first.
3. Chasing rainbows- This idiom may sound really sweet but it is actually used to describe someone who is trying to
reach or chase something that is almost impossible to achieve.
Example: My friend wants to be a billionaire in one year but I think he`s just
chasing rainbows.
I hope you learned some valuable things in today`s lesson. See you again next time and may you have a great weekend!

Hello everyone I hope you had a great weekend!
Today we will talk about how to study with movies!
In modern times. We have easy access to movies on the Internet. Those sites also have translations and audio in different languages ready for us to use. It has never been easier to learn a new language! So we can learn English from movies!
If you are able to read the script of the language, you are able to practice your listening and reading skills! It is much easier to learn from movies that you like, so children can learn English through movies that they like! If they are unable to ready they can watch a movie that they like multiple times and mimic the speech of the characters. This way what they learn can be reinforced and they get to have fun too!
Let us try to learn from movies, it will be fun!
Enjoy the rest of the week!

2020年教育改革で、大きく変化した義務教育の英語。
小学校5、6年生で現在すでにスタートしている英語が、2020年には「成績のつく教科」となり、中学校で学んでいた内容が繰り上げられました。
中学・高校の英語の授業は基本的にオールイングリッシュ、スピーキングやライティングで自分自身の意見も表現できるような力を養います。
一番わかりやすい、学習する語彙数でアミティーのレッスンと今回の教育改革の内容を比較してみましょう。
↑アミティーで学習する語彙数です。小学校高学年で、2,972語の習得をします。
これは、学校で行われる英語学習の中学卒業程度の語彙数（2,500語程度）に相当します。
このように、アミティーでレッスンを受けていると、小学校卒業までには中学卒業相当の語彙力を身に付けることができます。
また、「英語で表現すること」に対して前向きに取り組めるようになるので、自分の意見を言ったり、書いたりすることにも対応可能です。

Different ways to say "Hello"
Hello Everyone I hope you`re having an excellent week!
In today`s article we will cover how to "break the ice” when starting conversations in English.
The most common way to greet someone in English is to say "Hello, How are you?". Even though that way is perfectly fine it can be a bit of an overused and dull way to start a conversation. What you could instead do is one of the following:
Compliments
"That`s a nice shirt. I like that design" would be an example of a great way to start a conversation. It makes the other person feel good and it gives you something to immediately talk about. Compliments on clothing or hair are usually pretty safe and are not too familair to give, even to strangers.
Commentary about the surroundings
"Geez it`s pretty cold today!". Comments about the weather or anything in the surroundings are always a safe bet when it comes to starting conversations. You could also transition into talking about seasonal clothing and what you prefer wearing in which season and so forth. You could even follow up with a compliment!
Try out these suggestions the next time you want to start a conversation in English!
