In this episode, I'll talk about the Christmas holidays. And after that, you'll practice your English speaking with an exciting mini-story about a man dressed in red.

Finding the right gift for someone can be difficult, so what I usually do is search online for gift ideas. And buying online helps me avoid the holiday crowds.

To really feel the Christmas spirit, I like preparing a pot with a delightful scent using orange, cinnamon, apple cider, and clove. I let everything boil throughout the day so that the fragrance spreads throughout the house.

• I'll talk about passive vocabulary, and I'll focus on the difference between active and passive vocabulary.

In every country in the world, there are villages where no one lives.

I find this phenomenon fascinating.

• Abandoned
• Uninhabited
• Ghost
• Deserted

I'll be talking about one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States: Halloween. After that, you'll practice your speaking with a new mini-story, while enjoying my new Question & Answer story.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the last day of October. I would say it's very popular because everybody's excited about it, especially children.

The word Halloween comes from an old English expression, "All Hallows' Eve," and it means the day before All Saints' Day.

Have you ever wondered if you spend too many hours looking at your cell phone? Or maybe the computer. There is an expression in English that I quite like, called being hooked. It means to be excessively attracted to something and almost unable to resist it.

For example:

- I'm hooked on doing sports.

- But I've never seen you exercise.

- I have a lot of willpower, and I'm able to resist it.

• In this episode, I'd like to include some food and cooking vocabulary.
• And with a mini-story, you will improve your English fluency.
• You'll see, it's like having a conversation with another person.

You know, when I enter the kitchen, the first thought that I have is… Why am I here? Yeah. I'm hungry. That's why. Now I remember.
