Learning English grammar and vocabulary is excellent fun! However, to master the language, you must use it genuinely to discuss various topics and learn new things in English. That means discussing issues and themes you like and those you do not.
I will be the first to tell you perfection is impossible because no one and nothing is perfect. With that said, it is human nature to strive for perfection. Maintain your discipline and learn something new every day.

Smartphones are ubiquitous in society: Everybody has one. The use of smartphones in schools ultimately comes down to how they are used and regulated by the school and its staff. We can ban technology, but at what cost? Once the cat is out of the bag, you cannot put it back in. Instead of banning smartphones, perhaps we should be teaching children how to use them effectively.

Like it or love it, every culture has old wives’ tales. The term is not meant to be derogatory; it’s the truth. Since time immemorial, women have been the keepers of knowledge and wisdom and passed that down to the next generation of women. Life is what it is, and the truth is what it is. Humanity has survived as long as it has, in no small part due to old wives’ tales.
Old wives' tales: superstition or folklore used to explain why something happens or to advise on how to prevent certain things from happening.

We've all experienced the pain of being passed over. Perhaps as a child, you were the last to be chosen in a pick-up game of baseball. It hurt. Being 'passed over' is a term that means being overlooked, ignored, or excluded. It's a feeling that can be quite distressing, especially when you believe you've done everything right and deserve a particular outcome. To be 'passed over' means that someone else was chosen or preferred over you. It could be because of a lack of experience, qualifications, or suitability for a particular role. It could also be because someone didn't like you. Whatever the reason, being 'passed over' can leave you feeling disappointed, frustrated, and even resentful. It's important to remember that being 'passed over' doesn't define you. Try to let it go like water off a duck's back. Just because one opportunity didn't work out, it doesn't mean that you won't find success elsewhere. Sometimes, it's a matter of timing or circumstance, and there may have been factors outside your control. It's essential to learn from the experience, assess your strengths and weaknesses, and use it as motivation to improve. If you find yourself being 'passed over' frequently, it may be helpful to seek feedback from others. Ask for constructive criticism and advice on how you can improve. It's also essential to utilize the power of positive thinking. Surround yourself with supportive people, and keep an open mind to new opportunities. Being 'passed over' is never a pleasant experience, but it's not the end of the world. Don't let it define you or hold you back from achieving your goals. Keep pushing forward, and eventually, you'll find the success you want and deserve.
Here are some terms from today’s episode that may have been new to you.
Like water off a duck’s back: if insults or stress don't affect you they roll off you like water off a duck's back. Water doesn't bother ducks; stress doesn't bother you.

Flush with cash: When you are flush with cash, you have a lot of money for a short period. What happens to the money? Why, you spend it, of course!
https://links.artisanenglish.jp/FlushWithCash
So, how are you doing? Not mentally or physically, financially. Are you flush with cash, or does your bank account look like the bottom of a bar's beer keg early on a Saturday morning? We've all been witnessing prices increasing recently. Some call it inflation; others call it shrinkflation, while a few say it's 'excuseflation,' where companies blame an increase in operation costs for increasing prices and, thus, profit margins. Whatever the reason, not many people are feeling flush with cash anymore. When you are flush with cash, you have a lot of money for a short period. Have you ever been paid one day and smiled when you looked at your bank account statement? You smiled because you were flush with cash. Unfortunately, that feeling is ephemeral because you paid your bills within a few days and watched your statement rapidly return to its natural state. Yeah, being flush with cash is a great feeling. But it's an emotional rollercoaster. You're up one minute only for the reality of increasing prices to bring you down the next. However, let's not focus on the negative here. Let's focus on the positive. Being flush with cash is like being high on life. Yes, the high of being flush with cash may be fleeting, but the good times will come again. Income is like the tide. It comes in, and it goes out. We shouldn't worry too much about controlling it because we can't. I've learned to give unto Caesar that with is Caesar's. It's best not to stress too much about high prices.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree is a way of saying a child is like their parents in their talents, personality, or lifestyle.
https://links.artisanenglish.jp/TheAppleDoesntFallFarFromTheTree
Today we will explore the common idiom, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Now, maybe you like apples, and perhaps you don't. You know what? It doesn't matter. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree refers to how children often inherit traits and behaviours from their parents. It's a way of saying that a child is likely to be like their parents, whether it's their talents, personality, or lifestyle. For example, if a parent is a talented musician, it's likely that their child will have musical talent as well. Or if a parent is known for their kindness, their child is likely to be kind too. Another example is if a parent is a hard worker, their child is expected to have a strong work ethic too. It's important to remember life is not all rainbows and unicorns. This idiom can also be used to describe negative traits or behaviours that are passed down from generation to generation. For instance, if a parent has a bad temper, their child may struggle to control their anger. To be fair, it's important to acknowledge not all traits are inherited, and everyone has the power to break negative patterns and create positive changes. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is a reminder that we are all influenced by our upbringing and environment, but we can also make our own choices and make our own way. It's essential to be aware of our own tendencies and work towards becoming the best version of ourselves.

This is a short introduction to the English conversation lesson, Technosolutionism. I'm sure you'll find it engaging and insightful. The introduction of ChatGPT today is an example of technosolutionism in action. While the technology behind ChatGPT is impressive and has many potential benefits, it is essential to remember that it is not a panacea for all our problems. Humans have a history of believing technology will replace workers and create a utopia where we will have time and resources to do whatever we want. Technosolutionism can be dangerous because it can lead us to overlook the nuances and complexities of human experience.

This is a short introduction to the English conversation lesson, America's Campground. I'm sure you'll find it engaging and insightful.
I bet this is different from what you thought it was when you first saw the title. Believe it or not, many Americans and Canadians, for that matter, overnight at Walmart. My uncle was a professional long-haul truck driver, and in his spare time, he would take his wife in their RV all across North America. Most of the time, they parked in picturesque campgrounds, but occasionally, they stayed at a Walmart parking lot. It's a part of the North American RV/#Vanlife culture. I suppose it is a hidden subculture that most people don't know about unless they are a member of the RVing community who travels across the continent, homeless and happy to be so.

Yes, politicians and casino owners would have us believe that gambling only has benefits. There is another side, a hidden side, a darker side of addiction, bankruptcy, heartache and broken homes.

The Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal
Ending world poverty has been the big, hairy, audacious goal for many in the western world. The problem is going into an area and telling poor people what they need and want has not been very successful. Building schools, providing toilets and educating children serve no purpose if there are no jobs and, thus, no future beyond continued funding and handouts. But it's not only that. Sending people to developing countries uses valuable resources that may be better utilized. Poor people are not stupid; they're just poor. They know what they need but don't have the money to attain it. Perhaps the answer to solving poverty is hiding in plain sight. Give them money.

This discussion topic, DISCOVERY, has its origins in a previous topic - Ikigai: Your Raison d'être. One of my students mentioned that jibun sakashi, or 'finding oneself,' is the 'Ikigai' for the current generation. It's common for westerners to travel around the world, usually for one year, to find themselves. Some call it a journey of self-discovery; some name it a gap year, while others call it running away from reality. No matter what you call it when people return from being away from home, they are changed. They somehow seem more sure of themselves. People don't have to travel far to find themselves. Moving to a neighbouring prefecture or town is often distant enough to make them depend on themselves and learn to realize who they are and what they can do.

https://www.artisanenglish.jp/debate-and-discussion-online/works/lesson-data-burn/
What the heck are we going to do now?
We know climate change is real, and we know its effects are already upon us.
We’ve been told that our commutes, whether they involve planes, trains or automobiles and yes, helicopters, if that’s how you get around, are major contributors to greenhouse gasses.
As a result, we’re going digital, focusing on renewable energy and moving towards electric and hydrogen-powered transportation.
Now our emails, video and other forms of data consumption and storage are killing the planet.
Power-hungry data centres have become significant causes of carbon emissions.
What’s next?
Will governments throttle our data usage?
Perhaps emails will face a special carbon tax?
