Understanding Different Cultures
Every country has its own culture and traditions that make it unique and special. People living in Japan have their own set of beliefs that are different from those who are living in other countries. For instance, bowing, using chopsticks, and going to shrines or temples are part of Japanese culture whereas in other countries, people greet each other by shaking hands, use spoon and fork when eating their meals and go to church to pray and attend mass.
There are various cultural differences around the world, but what matters is how people respect and willingly accept these differences.
Does your country have special traditions that you would like to share to the world?

World Laughter Day
Do you know that every year, people celebrate `World Laughter Day` on the first Sunday of May? Laughter club members gather and laugh together and share kindness and compassion to one another. According to studies, laughter has a lot of health benefits since it helps us cope with stress and our muscles to relax. It also reduces our anxiety and make us feel positive about life. The average adult laughs 17 times a day while babies laugh 300 times a day. How about you? How often do you laugh in a day? We hope that you always find a reason to laugh and be grateful. Let us all live a happy and healthy life!
アプリamity box活用できていますか?
アミティーのアプリ、amity boxでは、レッスン動画配信iAODをご視聴頂いたり、英会話クラスの音源教材を学習していただけるようになっています。
うまく活用できていますか?
毎週、iAODを視聴している生徒さんは、単語をしっかりと覚えて、文章で発話ができるようになっているため、先生がレッスンで教えていても、きちんと予習してきたんだな!と一目瞭然です。
ご自宅でご都合の良いタイミングで、まずは5分・10分からでも、視聴したり、集中力がなかなか続かないとお悩みであれば、まずは、何かしているときにかけ流しから始めてみてください!
「わかる!」が増えるともっともっと楽しくなります。まずは予習としての動画視聴から始めてみましょう。
Mind over Matter
This is a phrase that we can use every time we are facing challenges or we are about to do something that will test our skills or abilities. It means that we can use our thoughts to control our feelings and overcome whatever obstacles we might face. For instance, you really want to learn English, but you are also a little hesitant and unsure if you can do it or if it is going to be easy for you, then you can tell yourself `Mind over Matter` and `I can do it`. Try to say it with conviction and you will realize that is not as difficult as you think.
Again, it is `Mind over Matter`.
