I am an office worker. Every morning, I wake up at 6 a.m. and leave home at 6:30. Then, I go to the Starbucks near the station. While drinking coffee there, I always study English. This is my morning routine.

Recently, I’ve been studying by listening to podcasts. While listening to a podcast, I read the script generated by AI.

"Alright, let’s do our best today!"

As usual, I started reviewing vocabulary on my iPad. The words and sentences I’ve studied many times and memorized come out smoothly, and I can read them fluently. But wh...

Sato was very busy from the morning. There were many meetings. There were also many emails to answer. When he looked at the clock, it was already past 5 PM.

"I should go home soon," he thought and left the office. The sky was a little dark, but it was not raining yet.

As he walked toward the station, the wind suddenly became strong. Then, small drops of rain started drizzling.

“Well, this much is fine,” he thought and kept walking. But the rain got stronger and stronger. Soon, it was pouring, and he was completely soaked. Duration: 00:03:04
