#8 Infographic: Obesity
▶️ We’re living in a fat world. Obesity (=being extremely fat) has become a bigger problem – literally – than the opposite problem of malnutrition (=not having enough to eat). Rich countries used to have more obese people but nowadays the developing world (=developing countries) is catching up (=reaching the same point), making obesity a global issue.
❗️ Monday is for discussions and debates! Today we will have a discussion on Afandi English Chat (@afandi_english_chat).
The discussion questions are:
1️⃣ Do you know any obese people? What can you tell us about them?
2️⃣ Are there many obese people in your country? What makes them obese?
3️⃣ What could be done to reduce the number of obese people?

Fooled ya! 😛
👎 China, Japan and South Korea were all wrong. You can find all three languages on the picture, but that doesn’t mean it should be in one of these three countries. Rather something more multicultural.
👍 The United States was the correct answer. The picture was taken in 🇬🇺Guam, an island in the Pacific Ocean, situated much closer to East Asia than North America. Guam is not a state but an unincorporated territory of the United States, just like Puerto Rico, the home island of Despacito. Zooming in you might have noticed a little bit of English in the picture.

#75 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Men rus tilini o’rganyapman.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
I’m learning Russian language.
✅ Well, it should be:
I’m learning Russian.
❓Why?
❗️ The word language is not needed in English.

#24 Tongue twister: Harvest
❗️Challenge yourself with this tongue twister:
▶️ Ripe white wheat reapers reap ripe white wheat right.
Translation:
Pishgan oq bug’doy o’roqchilari pishgan oq bug’doyni to’g’ri yig’ib olishadi.
❗️Pay attention to:
🔘 Pronunciation – The [r] sound is difficult for some students. Try not to let your tongue vibrate while producing a trilling [rrr].
🔘 Pronunciation – Make sure your [w] doesn’t sound like [v]. The Uzbek letter ‘v’ is pronounced like a mixture of both.
▶️ Now practice: Ripe white wheat reapers reap ripe white wheat right.

#42 Travelogue Uzbekistan: Copybook vs Notebook 4:1
The snappy word daftar is translated in two ways apparently – copybook sounds quite odd in English but is a good description of how this thing is often used, unlike what the word notebook suggests. What’s the difference?
Copybook
You copy random texts from the screen of your phone or your classmate’s daftar into your own daftar. You have no idea about what you write, nor do you care. Your teacher collects it and calls that “education”.
Notebook
You write what you need to remember in your own style and for your own use. No one checks it and no one collects it. Perhaps you won’t look at it again but when you took your notes you really thought about it all.
Daftars exist in the exact same format in Russia and also have exciting designs. But I doubt they can they match these ones here. 😜
---Vocab---
📍snappy = short and clear 📍apparently = it seems 📍odd = strange
