Introduction
What's your blood type? In this programme we'll be finding out all about blood - why humans have different blood types and whether blood is something more than just a way of pumping oxygen around your body. And of course we'll be teaching some new vocabulary as well.
This week's question
The Japanese word 'burahara' meaning 'blood harassment', is used to describe hostility towards people from a certain blood group considered to be selfish - but which group? Which blood types may fall victim to 'burahara'? Is it:
a) blood type A?
b) blood type B? Or
c) blood type O?

Neil
Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Neil.
Sam
And I'm Sam.
Neil
What blood type are you, Sam?
Sam
Ah, you mean the different groups used to classify humans by blood - types A, B, AB and O. I think I'm type O. How about you, Neil?
Neil
Well, it may sound strange but actually I don't know.
Sam
Hmm, lots of westerners don't know their blood type, but in parts of Asia blood groups are a topic of daily conversation.
People select romantic partners based on blood type and different blood groups are associated with different personalities.
Neil
In this programme we'll be finding out all about blood - why humans have different blood types and whether blood is something more than just a way of pumping oxygen around your body.
Sam
And of course we'll be learning some new vocabulary as well. Now, Neil, I have an interesting fact for you -
did you know that many Japanese popstars' websites will feature their blood type alongside information like their age and hobbies?
Neil
I didn't, Sam, but Japanese culture is certainly interested in blood. There's even a word 'burahara' meaning 'blood harassment', which is used to describe hostility towards people from a certain blood group considered to be selfish - but which group?
That's my quiz question for today - which blood types may fall victim to 'burahara'? Is it:
a) blood type A?
b) blood type B? Or
c) blood type O?
Sam
I'll say a) blood type A.
Neil
OK, Sam, we'll find out the answer later. As we've heard, blood is a big deal in Japan. Marnie Chesterton, from BBC World Service programme, Crowd Science, travelled to Tokyo where she asked Japanese translator, Chie Kobayashi, to explain more:
Chie Kobayashi
For blood type A, generally it is thought they are perfectionists, more detail-oriented, pretty much good at precise type jobs, and that makes them good at helping others and good at teamwork and respecting rules and customs. That's a typical blood A type.
Marnie Chesterton
40 percent of Japan's population are sensitive, anxious type As. 30 percent are curious and stubborn, generous type Os.
Ten percent are creative ABs. But woe betide the twenty percent type Bs because they have a far less desirable personality, apparently.
Sam
According to Japanese tradition, blood type As are perfectionists - people who want everything to be perfect and demand the highest standards possible.
Neil
This contrasts with type Os who are considered to be stubborn - people who are determined to do what they want and refuse to change their mind.
Sam
But it's unfortunate blood type Bs who have the least desirable personality - selfish and independent. "Woe betide the type Bs" remarks the presenter, Marnie Chesterton -
an informal British expression said when there will be trouble ahead for someone - in this case, poor type Bs!
Neil
But apart from customs and traditions, is there actually any science behind these beliefs?
Sam
Well, not according to Dr Emma Pomeroy of Cambridge University's archaeology department. She thinks that - like horoscopes - there's no scientific basis for a connection between blood types and personalities.
Neil
Which makes me wonder what exactly blood types are.
Sam
Blood types are kinds of stickers or chemical markers which support our immune system - the organs, cells and processes which protect the human body from infection and illness.
Neil
Those chemical markers can identify foreign bodies like pathogens - small organisms, such a virus or bacteria, that can cause disease.
The variety of blood types seems to be a result of different bodily responses to different disease-causing pathogens.
Sam
Which explains why blood of the same type is needed in blood transfusions - medical procedures in which blood is taken from one person and put into another person's body, often after an accident or during an operation.
Neil
And explains the high demand for type O blood which can be given to anyone.
Sam
Ah, generous type Os - like me. I always knew I was special… and curious and stubborn, wasn't that the type O personality?
Neil

Oh yes, today's quiz question was about blood type personalities. I asked you which undesirable blood type is considered selfish in Japan.
Sam
I said a) blood type A.
Neil
But as we've heard, it's actually b) blood type B.
Sam
Never mind, I'll settle for being curious, stubborn and generous! In today's programme we've been talking all about blood types and personalities.
In Japan, blood type A people are thought of as perfectionists - people who want everything to be perfect.
Neil
Unlike type Os who are considered stubborn - determined to get their own way and unwilling to change.
Sam
And woe betide selfish type Bs - an informal expression said when there will be trouble for someone or if they will be punished for doing a particular thing.
Neil
Scientifically speaking, blood types help support our immune system - the organs and cellular processes which protect the human body from infection.
Sam
They also help identify foreign pathogens - small organisms, such a virus or bacteria, that can cause a disease.
Neil
And explain why the same blood type is needed for a successful blood transfusion - the procedure in which blood is transferred from one person's body to another during an operation.
Sam
That's all we have time for today. Bye for now.
Neil
Bye!

The Scripps National Spelling Bee (formerly the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee and commonly called the National Spelling Bee) is an annual spelling bee held in the United States. The bee is run on a not-for-profit basis by The E. W. Scripps Company and is held at a hotel or convention center in Washington, D.C. during the week following Memorial Day weekend. Since 2011, it has been held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center hotel in National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside Washington D.C. It was previously held at the Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington D.C. from 1996 to 2010. Current and past Executive Directors of the Spelling Bee, Paige Kimble and Reta (née Reynolds) Rose have helped to widely popularize the Spelling Bee during their respective and lengthy tenures at the helm. On May 30, 2019, the Spelling Bee ran out of words that might challenge the contestants. They ended up having 8 winners instead of 1 or 2.

Accuracy vs. Fluency: Find a Balance and Keep Moving Forward

by Andrea Murau Haraway

When I was a young, 20-something, I accepted a job teaching English in Japan. While I had never studied Japanese or lived in Japan, I did have experience learning other languages and living in other countries.

When I arrived in Kyoto, I joined two other English-teaching colleagues -- also new to Japan. We spent our first few months teaching, and outside of teaching, struggling to get by in daily life. We soon realized that we needed to take language classes, so as summer break approached, we enrolled in intensive Japanese classes.

It was very interesting to watch our different approaches to learning (and using) our new language.

One weekend, we decided to take a day trip to Ryoanji, a famous rock garden, located in the outskirts of Kyoto. We took a train to the area, but from the train station we had to ask directions to the garden. Here is where I discovered our different approaches.

One friend was very particular about speaking correctly. She would spend several minutes quietly thinking to herself, checking her dictionary, and planning how she should best ask how to get to Ryoanji. Five minutes passed before she would even open her mouth!

Another friend was very open and gregarious and rather indifferent to language structures and cultural convention. She grabbed the first person she could find, and asked him for directions. The problem was that he had difficulty understanding what she was saying. When he finally understood, he offered the directions, but then she didn’t understand everything he said, so she asked again and again for him to repeat the directions. Several minutes passed and she was still not clear on the directions and he was trying to find a way to escape!

My approach was different. I considered what I was going to say, and then asked the nearest person for directions. She said, “You go down this road and take the second right. Then you…” Unfortunately, my Japanese was only good enough to retain small chunks of information, so I couldn’t understand the rest of her directions. But I thanked her kindly, walked down the street, and took the second right. Now out of sight of the first person who gave me directions, I simply asked a new person for the next set of directions. And so I continued until I made it to Ryoanji!

Consider the following questions:

• Which of the people in the story were more focused on learning? Which on acquisition?

• Is your approach to language learning similar or dissimilar to the examples mentioned in the reading? How?

• Which approach is more likely to propel a language learner toward acquisition? Why? @Englishteacherideas1 Join to coursera courses
