Charles: Well, the Japanese have a syllabary (a writing system that is made up of syllables), not an alphabet, and that makes writing their ideas easier, but still some Japanese think they should romanize their language, like the Vietnamese have.

Steve: So the Vietnamese don't have their own alphabet?

Did your husband yell at you?
 No he didn’t. He didn’t yell at me.
 Don’t yell at me, please!
 Don’t yell!
 Please don’t yell.
 Don’t raise your voice to me.

CULTURE:
Traditionally, Americans and Britons did not allow their children to speak loudly to them. In fact, in the old days—even when I was young—parents said, “children should be seen, and not heard.” My father sometimes said, “no talking at the table.” But this changed over time.

Basically, the way we raise children in America is different. A parent pays attention to a child’s misbehavior (bad behavior) from the start. It is not ignored to make the child stronger. It is addressed right away, even in public. So for example, if a child is being loud and disturbing other people—on a train, in a restaurant, in a library, or at a dentist’s office--he or she is reprimanded (talked to seriously), or taken outside right away. Disturbing others is very bad form (behavior).

I am not sure, but I heard from Korean parents a long time ago, that children are treated very leniently (mildly), because later, the children will have to work hard and study hard. So often, in public, I have been shocked to see Korean children behaving very badly, and their parents doing almost nothing about it. But I try to understand that Korean parents sometimes have a special; a different philosophy about raising children.

Anyway, the “foreigner” constantly has to remind himself, he is in another country; culture, and so he has to try to respect it; to understand it.

I think that Koreans are trying to build personal responsibility in their children. Maybe (?) they think that if they pay attention to a screaming child, for example, they are giving in.

Hello Mrs. Lee,

How are you?

We hope you had a nice day!

Have a good night,

Charles and Genie

He doesn’t support his idea.
He doesn’t believe in her idea.

He doesn’t support him (give him encouragement [on this issue]).

1. Encourage your brother to study. He could be an ‘A’ student!
2. I encourage Joe all the time, to get help about his drinking problem (his alcoholism).

He has some good concerns (worries), but I don’t think those concerns are good enough to stop us (from going). We could find a solution (a way to fix the problem), if we really wanted to.

He doesn’t want his son to be alone at the party (while we travel), but there are solutions to that problem. The boy could go with some friends, or even come with us.

He is also concerned about money, but we could pay for the party with our own money.

Why do you think some people try to exert (use, display, show) such (this kind of) control over their children?

Simple Words:
Why do some parents try to control their children like this?

1 Knife; 2 knives
1 Wife; 2 wives
DOES your husband supports you in what you want to do?

Yes! He does. But I am lazy.

No, you aren’t. You are studying English and taking care of your son and husband.

When we were dating, I thought Genie would never cook for me, but now she does.

My husband is working out a lot, so he needs a lot of protein. So now, he’s trying to eat a lot of chicken breast.

He must be careful. Eating a lot of animal protein means he is getting a lot of nitrogen, which has to be taken out of the body. This happens when he urinates, but bone calcium leaves the body with it. He must be careful of his animal protein intake.

Your husband can get whey protein, if he wants.

Charles: A baby shower is a party for an expecting mother. An expecting mother is one who is pregnant, and soon will deliver her baby. At this party, her girlfriends give her gifts for the baby that is coming; for the baby that she will give birth to. Usually only women come to this party, but I could imagine good friends who are friends, or gay men going too.
Or maybe anyone who is a good friend could go, but traditionally, only men, rather, only women go to this party.

Mi: Then, how do I say that I 'washed' my baby?

Charles: Well, just say 'I gave my baby a bath,' or 'I bathed my baby son/daughter.'

Charles: Remember, we wear a bathing suit at the beach! (^.^) Young men might say I wear a “Speedo.” A Speedo is a set of swimming 'panties,' but don’t say ‘swimming panties,’ because nobody will know what you are talking about.

Everyday English English, I: Introducing Yourself to Someone (pp. 8-9)

To Get Someone’s Attention (to make someone notice [see] you):

1. After the car crashed into the sign, my mother said to me, “quick, wave out the window and get that policeman’s attention!”

2. My father and I were at the game (I was at the game; My father was at the game too. So, we were at the game together).

3. We were there to watch my brother. He is on The Tigers (the baseball team). My brother was across the playing field (He was on the other side).

4. “Get your brother’s attention,” my father said to me. So I called out “Hey John!” across the field. Finally my brother looked up at us--shielding his eyes from the sun--and our dad said in a loud voice, “Go get ‘em tiger!” My brother smiled a broad smile (a big smile).

Would/Could you please…
 close the window?
 be a little more quiet?
 open the door?
 put out your cigarette?

'Could' is more about ability. 'Would' is an actual request, to ask soeone to do something, with more ‘force,’ and is more polite.

This is a “PMP”
What does PMP mean?
Maybe it means “portable memory portal?”
How much memory does it have/hold?
About 40 Gigabytes.
Is that a lot?
Well, your computer has about seventy, I think.

How is your English class in school going?

Sam: In English class, we usually just have a study hall. At this time, my friends just talk, and don’t really pay attention to the teacher, because the teacher just teaches us strange things.

Charles: (About “study hall”) What kind of “strange things” does the teacher teach during study hall?

Sam: Well, the students don’t want to study during that time, so the teacher just does what they want.

Genie: But that’s not a usual thing, right? That happens rarely? Does that always happen?

Sam: No, it almost always happens. There are too many classes at school, and maybe English is considered secondary. We don’t like this teacher actually. Her tests are difficult, and she gives/offers us nothing to prepare.

Genie: So then it’s hard for you to like the English teacher.

Charles: In the West, a teacher like that would be reprimanded (seriously talked to; chastised; yelled at), or even fired, eventually. To me, Koreans do amazing things; whatever needs to be done! Why can’t they change the education system?

Sam: We have a Parent Teachers’ Association here, but maybe the parents here fear that interrupting, or interfering with the education system can cause a breakdown in the childrens’ studies. Parents also think—for example—'if my son is moved to a lower level, it is my son’s fault, not the teacher’s fault,' so they try to push, even punish their children when ‘necessary.’

Charles: Does your English teacher speak English well?

Sam: She’s a grammar teacher.

The Report Card
Sam: The PTA is mentioned in this book. Nora goes to school and watches what the teachers do; all the time. She even researches about grades and homework.

Her teachers think she is hard to understand; the way she speaks and writes—because of her bad grades.

Charles: Wait Sam. I’m not clear on this: They think she is hard to understand because of her grades or because of her mind?

Sam: They think that because of her mind; because of who she is; that she has bad grades.

She likes thinking; she’s inquisitive. On the internet she found the Connecticut (/Kun-Et-I-Kit/) Mastery Testing website. There she found information about the school system and grades, but suddenly a teacher came in and before the teacher noticed, Nora switched screens. Then she took Nora to a conference room. The teacher did.

Many teachers were there; Nora’s parents were there too. This was sudden; it was a surprise. Nora hadn’t expected it.

Genie: Do you have any questions here (about the book)?

Sam: What does this mean; ‘So what if it’s a whole lot sooner?’

Charles: Nora says to herself—she’s thinking, right?—‘You knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later….’ Then she says ‘So what if it’s a whole lot sooner?’

Charles: So it means ‘it doesn’t matter when it happens.’

 Get it over with (get it done).
 Do it now, rather than later.
 Deal with it now, rather than later.

Charles: In other words, she is tough, and thinks, ‘I can deal with this now if I can deal with it later. What’s the difference?’

Sam: I got it.
Genie: Have some sweet potatoes.
Sam: Thanks. I have to go to the hospital soon.
Genie: What time?

Charles: May I ask why you are going? Is it for your allergies?

Sam: No. (It’s) my eye. Ah, yeah, my allergies.

Genie: So this is over? We’re done with this (The Report Card)?

Charles and Sam: Yeah.

Charles: (holding up his cup) Do you know about this picture? It’s famous. Maybe you’ve seen it in a Japanese restaurant? It’s called Kanagawa no Tsunami, The Great Wave of Kanagawa. It’s a woodblock print. It was done by Katsushika Hokusai. Look at the style; like animation right? But it was done a few hundred years ago.

Genie: (Picks up Sam’s workbook) Where did you work in here; until where?

Sam: (pointing to the pages) Here.

Genie: Do you have questions here?

Sam: Yeah. Here. I cannot understand the meaning of this passage.

Charles: Can you say that?
Good.
What’s a settlement?
Sam: I know what it is, but…let me think of how to say it in English.

A settlement is a place where people decide 'to settle,' or settle down; make a new home (in a new place).

In this passage 'proved' means discovered to be.

Charles: What’s this article about?

Jiyeon: It’s about teenagers who smoke. /It's about teenagers smoking.

Charles: What does the article say can happen if teenagers smoke?

Jiyeon: Well, in a study, scientists learned that some smokers get grey hair.

Genie: What else can happen to smokers?

Jiyeon: A smoker’s skin may look older than that of a non-smoker’s. This is because a smoker's skin is thinner. And so it wrinkles more easily.

In this sentence, 'than that of ' means: ‘the skin of.’

Genie: What else can happen?

Jiyeon: Smoking may damage your looks./Smoking may harm one's looks.

Charles: What does 'this study suggests that smoking may cost teenagers their looks' mean?

Charles: Remember these phrases have the smae meaning:
1. How much does it cost?
2. What does it cost?
3. What’s the cost?

It means their health is hurt, or damaged by smoking, and this is the price they pay for 'the pleasure' of smoking.

In these sentences, we are asking how much, or what will have to paid/lost/spent. Remember, we do not only lose money in our lifves. Everything is a choice—a purchase—if you will. You give money for a product. You give your health, for drugs, cigarettes, and bad food. You give your time, to study/play, build, or destroy things. Look at these examples:

He spent his life studying the universe through mathematics. His name was Einstein.

Young men who go to war in foreign countries often learn that the cost is much of their sanity. They often lose their minds.

Fear of:

In my opinion, parents do not teach their children that they should have a healthy fear of cancer and heart disease, which should lead them to eat more fresh vegetables and less meat, less milk products, and other junk food.

Heart disease:

Heart disease is something that most people give to themselves by eating too much cooked food, too much meat, and by drinking too much milk and other dairy products like cake, cheese, and cookies. It is also caused by a lack of exercise and by smoking. Basically, it is the clogging of the arteries around the heart with fat and cholesterol.

Cancer:

Cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the body, caused by DNA failure. What causes DNA failure? Smoking, too much fat in the diet, and cooked food cause cancer. Other causes of cancer are nuclear radiation, too much exposure to intense sunshine, bad air and water pollution, and anything that weakens the body’s immune system. In addition, we must remember, the body’s immune system is weakened when we do not rest, when we drink too much alcohol, and when we do not eat enough fresh vegetables, and fruits.

Twins:

Twins are two offspring (creatures; living things) born at the same time of birth, and coming from the same mother. Often they look very much alike/like each other/one another.

Cause:
The cause of something is the reason that it happens; “cause and effect;”

The cause of the fire was lightning. The effect was the house burned down to the ground (there was nothing left of it).

'In other words:'

'In other words' means 'said another way. '

I want you to make a better effort. In other words, 'try harder.'

Damage:

'To damage' something is to spoil, worsen, or ‘hurt’ it. Damage is the worsened condition. He damaged the car when he hit the fence with it. The fence is damaged too.

Bald:

'Bald' means the condition of having no hair on one’s head.
'Balding' means to be losing you rhair.

John is bald. I cannot believe it! He had so much hair when we were young.

James is balding too.

What?

I say, James is losing his hair too!

I guess he is bald because his father is bald. It runs in the family.

Dear Ji-yeon:

I hope that when people near you smoke, you move away. Smoke from other peoples' cigarettes is very harmful to your health.

"The Wrong Seat And The Foiled Robbery"
Story by Charles Athens
Narration by Charles Athens
Copyright (C) All Rights Reserved

The other day I went to a movie by myself, ‘cause nobody was around.

During the movie (while watching it), I had popcorn. I was eating my popcorn and minding my own business, when a man bent over and whispered to me, “I think this is my seat.” I told him I was sorry, and I gathered my things and got up. While I was looking for my seat—you know, the one I was supposed to sit in, according to my ticket—I tripped over something in the aisle and fell flat on my face.

Several people got up to help me, and while one woman was talking to me, asking whether I was all right or not, I realized that I had not locked the door of my apartment! Isn’t that strange?

Anyway, I said I was okay and thanked her, and decided to go home to check my apartment. When I got home I was approaching the door of my place when I noticed it was ajar! I could see the light on inside. My heart skipped a beat!

So carefully, I crept to the door—careful not to make a sound—I slowly peeked inside, and what did I see? A burglar was there!

I stepped back into the stairwell and produced my cell phone from my pocket. Then I quickly called 911.

When the police arrived, the man tried to run out of the apartment. He hadn’t heard the car; the police deliberately did not sound their siren. But somehow the burglar knew. I guess he heard the motor of the police car out the window.

But anyway, they caught him as he ran up the street. Whew. He had the money I had been keeping in the top drawer of my dresser, and my gold watch; the one my grandfather had given me before he passed away.

Just imagine, if I hadn’t been sitting in the wrong seat at the movie theater, I would have lost $250.00, and a very special air loom!
________________________________________

When I was twenty-two, I was injured in the head. Later, I was invited to a pool party at my friend’s house. His name is Nick. So, I went to Nick’s party.

Everyone was in the swimming pool. I, however, had to remain outside. So I sat in a lawn-chair and watched everyone play in the water.

If my head had not been hurt, I would have gone in the pool.

We spend a lot of time studying, but we are not the best students despite that.

"Papa, Please Get The Moon For Me' by Eric Carle
Narrated by Charles Athens
Published by Little Simon, an imprint of Simon and Schuster Publishing
______________________________________________________

Before Monica went to bed, she looked out of her window at the moon. The moon looked so near.

"I wish I could play with the moon," Monica thought, and reached for it.

But no matter how she stretched, she could not touch the moon.

"Papa," said Monica to her father, "please get the moon for me."

Papa got a very long ladder.

He carried the very long ladder toward a very high mountain.

Then Papa put the very high ladder on top of the very high mountain.

Up and up and up he climbed.

Finally, Papa got to the moon. "My daughter Monica would like to play with you," said Papa, "but you are much too big."

Every night I get a little smaller," said the moon. "When I am just the right size, you can take me with you."

And, indeed, the moon got smaller and smaller and smaller.

When the moon was just the right size, Papa took it.

Down and down he climbed.

"Here," said Papa to Monica, "I have the moon for you."

Monica jumped and danced with the moon.

She hugged the moon and threw it into the air.

But the moon kept getting smaller and smaller and smaller, and finally it disappeared altogether.

Then one night, Monica saw a thin sliver of the moon reappear.

Each night the moon grew,

and grew and grew

One day a young mother was playing with her five-year-old son. Suddenly he took her ball-point pen and swallowed it. "Oh no!" cried the woman. "We must find a doctor."

She took her son and drove quickly to the nearest doctor's office. Taking her son by the hand, she rushed into the waiting room and shouted to the nurse, "I must see a doctor immediately." "I'm sorry," said the nurse calmly, "but the doctor is busy." "But nurse," she said, "please! My son just swallowed my ball-point pen!" "Well, said the nurse, "I'm terribly sorry, but you'll just have to use a pencil."
