English Recordings

Eph 5:1 Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.
Eph 5:2 Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
Eph 5:3 Don't allow love to turn into lust, setting off a downhill slide into sexual promiscuity, filthy practices, or bullying greed.
Eph 5:4 Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, Christians have better uses for language than that. Don't talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn't fit our style. Thanksgiving is our dialect.
Eph 5:5 You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them--the usual variations on idolatry--will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of God.
Eph 5:6 Don't let yourselves get taken in by religious smooth talk. God gets furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but want nothing to do with him.
Eph 5:7 Don't even hang around people like that.
Eph 5:8 You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it!
Eph 5:9 The good, the right, the true--these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours.
Eph 5:10 Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.
Eph 5:11 Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are.
Eph 5:12 It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see.
Eph 5:13 Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ.
Eph 5:14 Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light!
Eph 5:15 So watch your step. Use your head.
Eph 5:16 Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
Eph 5:17 Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.
Eph 5:18 Don't drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge draughts of him.
Eph 5:19 Sing hymns instead of drinking songs! Sing songs from your heart to Christ.
Eph 5:20 Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ.
Eph 5:21 Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another.
Eph 5:22 Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ.
Eph 5:23 The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing.
Eph 5:24 So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church--a love marked by giving, not getting.
Eph 5:26 Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her,
Eph 5:27 dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness.
Eph 5:28 And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor--since they're already "one" in marriage.
Eph 5:29 No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church,
Eph 5:30 since we are part of his body.
Eph 5:31 And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become "one flesh."
Eph 5:32 This is a huge mystery, and I don't pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church.
Eph 5:33 And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband.

It is time to consider whether society is ready to accept women into greater leadership roles. Korea has entered a new era of women in leadership with the election of its first female president. The election demonstrated that Koreans realize the value that women bring as leaders. In the past, an authoritarian style of leadership was needed, but now softer leadership skills such as tolerance, communication skills, and the flexibility women have are being welcomed. Communication skills, an open mind and a welcoming attitude have especially been one of the this year's issues for a lot of leaders in the financial world. To run their company well, owners should listen to their employees' voices to figure out their interests and desired changes to put them into action. This is effective communication and is very important.

I guess if you are a Japanese language learner, you must have been asked many times why you have been making an effort to learn it.

However, since I'm an English learner, I haven't been asked about it as many times as you probably have been. It's because English is an international language and people take it for granted.

Most Japanese people would express surprise and appreciate the fact that you are learning Japanese. And of course, the first question that they'd voice to you would be "Why!"

Putting some thought into answering the question must be a good way to clarify the reason to yourself at any given time.

Actually, I currently find myself at a loss regarding the reason as to why I want to learn English. One thing that I can say is that "speaking English fluently is cool!"
＾０＾

However, I know it's unlikely to be taken as a valid reason. I need to make an analysis of my real reasons.

First of all, I would like to build great friendships using English. Although some people say that nurturing friendships is possible even with language barriers, I don't agree with it. The more freely I can speak English about many subjects, the more I can get to know English speakers and their cultures.

Secondly, I would like to help others with their Japanese language learning. I should speak Japanese when I am teaching it, although English speaking ability will be helpful sometimes.

That's what I've come up with today.

Thank you for reading!

He spends his time with his frieds, Marty and Todd, who are also comic-book fands. He hasn't got a very difficult life and his challenges are just the challenges of a typical teenager.
However, one day, he makes a simple decision: to become a superhero, even if he hasn't got powers and he doesn't look like a superhero. He can't fly, can't fight and he can't run fast!
Dave is also in love with a girl, Katie, but she doesn't notice him. He doesn't exist for her.
One night, Dave helps a man who is attacked by three men in front of a cafeteria. Teenagers watch the fight between Dave and the men and record it with their mobile phone cameras. They put the video on the internet and Kick-Ass immediately becomes famous and Katie starts to notice him.
Meanwhile powerful gangster Frank D'Amico hates Kick-Ass and plans to destroy him...
