Learning to smile again: BBC News Review

[@Shota-z1u]

"I grinned as I finally ditched my toxic relationship and embraced a brighter life after heartbreak."

[@bbclearningenglish]

Good example.

[@rezaahmadi4206]

These series have played a huge role in helping me improve my English. Really appreciate it guys❤

[@tammytsang3487]

I will never ditch this great channel . After spending one week in England and one week in Iceland recently, I decided to ditch the mask , but will mask up when I go to the nursing home. Thank you for all your useful videos.

[@momo-wg4uc]

I'm japanese, but I've never heard of this kind of seminar or news about it. the seminar sounds just crazy because we know how to smile naturally!! it doesn't matter whether wearing masks or not!!

[@mouse8618]

本当だよ！I've never heard this on the new or seem anything about it. I'm Japanese too.

[@Shota-z1u]

I’m Japanese too. I completely agree with your comment!!! That’s exactly what I was thinking.

[@KonstantinEgorovSpb]

Spot on! Smiling is natural, like sneezing 😁, mask or no mask😉

Life after I ditched grinning is very dull and sad.

I have ditched my awful job, so I' m grinning all day, life after that is AMAZING!

[@kairuizhao924]

I ditched my dance class because I am not available for it.

[@manuelgordillo520]

Sian, too long have you been in the shadow. We miss you. Please come back. Your accent makes us a feeling of relaxed classes. An automatic self-confidence. Good luck.

[@princessmary8627]

I will never let ditch this channel, it helps me to improved my vocabulary and expand my knowledge as well. What would my life after losing this, I need to be active.

[@aprosc]

It's always a pleasure to see Sian in BBCLE's videos 😊

[@benjaminestrada8788]

Great. Thanks a lot BBC. Greetings from Mexico.

[@あき-e4z3e]

I am glad you picked up on the Japanese topic. I'm a Japanese and I "ditched" masks, yet people around me still wear masks. Probably they are embarrassed to show their faces, or feel make-up or shaving is bother so wear masks to avoid it.

[@ThinkBritishEnglish]

haha that's what some of my Japanese students tell me as well ;)

[@Mandeepsinghmakker]

Wow ! This world now has coaches for smiles too. None taught us to cry, then how can one train us to smile ? It is something which comes naturally.

[@bbclearningenglish]

You make a good point but sometimes we forget how to do things and a coach can help remind us.

[@Mandeepsinghmakker]

Thanks for watching!

[@Chemical_Biology]

I’m Japanese so I’m very satisfied with the content: thank you for extracting Japanese events. But unfortunately, almost all people in Japan wearing the masks still now.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Does this mean you don't see each other smile?

[@esinspire47]

My english skills improved after your useful videos. Thank you bbcle. Greeting from Turkey

[@corinaijac4381]

Thank you very much!

[@tgchan]

Thank you.

What's wrong with being stern, stoic? A smile should be genuine and only displayed when absolutely worth it

grin and bear it idiom Add to word list C2 to accept something bad without complaining: I really don't want to go, but I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it.

[@anyoneaze]

[@sanaraza317]

1. She was grining at her graduation ceremony. 2. I'm going to ditch my job to continue my studies. 3. You need to prepare for life after college.

[@jharrinssonalmanza3066]

This episody was a piece of cake, I get it now, without subtitles. greetings BBC Learning english😃

[@MMM-ti3vb]

All most Japanese wearing our masks because we’re feeling relieved. But On the other hand some people beginning to take off it. By the way even though I’m Japanese but I’ve never seen Japanese learning to smile.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Hopefully you are naturally smiley person!

[@MMM-ti3vb]

No matter if we have masks on our faces, we never forget to smile.

[@lobelobe6549]

I love it.. more more and more

[@bbclearningenglish]

We have a new News Review video every Wednesday.

[@franciscojose6496]

Exellent information 😊

[@luitfridkilindo1342]

If there is something I cannot do, that would be ditching BBC learning English programs.

[@kzknksm9082]

As a Japanese, I'm very sorry to watch "strange Japan"news....I can't believe the seminar really exists.

[@vunguyen-n4u2v]

Could anyone explain to me the usage of the phrase "life after" which means the future without. Because in some cases I saw they use after as a preposition which turn the phrase to another sense. For example: I don't believe in the life after the loss of the loved one, but things do carry on. Here, Life after does not mean future without, doesn't it?

[@edmundau8799]

Nice grin, Sian.

[@Khuntikhushi15]

Fantastic ❤ From India

[@atsuroberts518]

Most Japanese were wearing masks on the commuter trains today. But they will probably take off their masks as summer approaches.😅

[@k.t8174]

As summer comes

[@madinaxoliqova]

Life after= a future without

[@lopezaguilar28]

4:45 is it are Argentina ready...? or is it is argentina ready...? because Argentina is singular, right? We use are for the plural, can you explain that?

[@kksawap2215]

I'll never ditch grinning life after the pandemic.

[@bamadifamba4450]

Impressive video, but are you thinking about the "life after " this one ? I hope I'll ditch my but habits away.

[@vuoanh9869]

grin: smile ditch: get rid of life after: a future without picking up new vocabs !!

[@yarinayarina5893]

Please use Language summary or words you guys explain about as a thumbnil. So i can clearly search in the videos if i don't remember it or if i want to reuse it bcs the words are really new for me. For example, whenever i read a english new, i felt like i know this word and i learn from bbc but i don't remember so i try to search from bbc. It's really hard for me to find a video again and again. So, If you guys show the words as a thumbnail, i can easily find and relearn it. I hope my suggestions would help other and BBC please help this difficult.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Thanks for your feedback. We do have chapters in the blurb that will direct you to the vocab summary. A summary is given as text above too, or, if you prefer, you can download the language from our webpage: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/newsreview-2023/unit-1/session-20

[@sirajalrass3137]

Why did Sian say "are Argentina ready?" Instead of "is Argentina ready?"?

What is the grin?

[@bbclearningenglish]

A grin is a type of smile.

[@mdrahamatali840]

👌👌

[@inao7545]

Is Japanese PR pushing such peculiar stories to the media? While the economy is collapsing, and social problems growing, at least they can spark interest this way. Maybe it is a way to attract tourists.

[@christinaaprilia814]

Many countries agreed to ditch the US dollar

[@bbclearningenglish]

I'm shocked even famous media like BBC are obsessed with "Weird Japan" stories. That seminar to learn how to smile is not famous at all and there are more important news stories that media need to report.

Yoy may not believe it but more than 90 percent of the people in Japan are still wearing masks! I'm Japanese living in Japan. I don't wear it anymore and I really wonder why!

[@bbclearningenglish]

Why do you think they are still wearing masks? Is there still a risk of catching Covid?

[@もこもこ-o3q2z]

@@bbclearningenglish I’m not wearing the mask now but most of Japanese don’t want to show their face and they feel peer pressure so they won’t take off the mask

[@rogueninja185]

@@もこもこ-o3q2z Seriously? The brainwashing was strong in Japan. In the meantime, in the rest of the world (for the most part) is like everyone has forgotten about it. Interesting that when the media stopped covering COVID19 news like hungry wolves the disease suddenly almost vanished. It s hilarious really.
