Vegetarianism, Processed Food, Food Allergies, Japanese Overseas and Review
もう、8月17日だ。前回の復習をまとめてから11日もたっている。
この間は何回レッスンをうけたかというと、
今日これからやるのをいれて7回。
最近は仕事が忙し過ぎて、なかなか復習までまわらない。忙し過ぎてやばい。
体の具合はいいのがせめてもの救い。ぷーちゃんは、あれから少し機嫌がよくなり、話などができるようになってきた。でもまだ私のほうがビクビクしている。
1回、フリーカンバセーションをやったら、その先生は先月コロナに感染したそうだ。幸い、デルタではないほうの、コロナのような、嗅覚以上のみ。ただ、いまだに匂いがわからないものがあるそうだ。
フィリピンでは、感染者の家では、黄色いテープがはられるそうだ。
そうすると、近所の人が食料や日用品などをもってきて、おいていってくれるそうだ。
助け合い。性善説。それで隔離期間中は過ごせたそうだ。
1. Subpar means below average.
I thought the lead actor’s performance was pretty subpar.
2. The beauty of something is the good qualities of a thing that make it more desirable.
Why not? The beauty of brunch is that you can sleep in late and still have pancakes!
Yeah, I love this westernized sushi! It has ham and cheese in it!
To tell you the truth, I don’t think the color suits you.

1. Your immune system is your body’s shield from viruses, infections, and other illnesses.
Really? She must have a strong immune system!
2. You developed an allergy to something if your body suddenly started to react to something that didn’t use to cause you problems before.
Just being in the room with peanuts is enough to trigger symptoms for Angela.
My mom and dad have so much in common. For instance, they both love cooking and playing games on their phones.

1. If you do something in moderation, you do it in a moderate, not excessive, way.
Andy was advised to eat fatty food in moderation to avoid high cholesterol.
2. Additives are added to make foods and drinks taste better and last longer.
Paula carefully reads labels to make sure what she buys doesn’t contain additives.
Shannon only eats dishes made with fresh, in-season local ingredients because she’s into clean eating.
In other words, you’re a coffee addict!
1. Animal cruelty is the act of abusing, killing, or not taking proper care of animals.
We’re doing a petition to support stricter laws against animal cruelty. Would you like to sign it?
2. A lifestyle choice is a way of living that a person chooses to follow.
No, no, it’s not that! I just don’t drink. It’s a lifestyle choice.
Yeah, but she isn’t a strict vegetarian. She still eats chicken every once in a while.
Sometimes you want to make it clear that you’re expressing your personal opinion, not a group opinion.
Speaking for myself, it’s not too far! I have lots of vacation time saved up. I’m not sure about the others, though.
