Show 910 Monday 8 December
Watch today’s show at YouTube or BlipTV.
Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.
Today’s guest is Misato. She spent a year in Toronto, in Canada and she’s now a student at Hokusei Gakuen University in Sapporo, Japan. I met her at this year’s JALT conference in Sapporo and I asked her why she came to the conference.
I joined, ah, volunteer in Toyako summit, G8 summit volunteer. So … and it was fun so I joined this too.
STICK NEWS
Kia Ora, in Stick News today a girl’s eardrum was ruptured due to an excessively passionate kiss.
Reuters has reported a girl in her twenties went to a hospital in southern China completely deaf in her left ear. Doctors said the damage was caused by a passionate kiss with her boyfriend. A doctor said the kiss reduced pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear. They said the woman’s hearing would likely return to normal after about two months. A report in a Chinese newspaper said: while kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution.
And that was Stick News for Monday the 8th of December.
Kia Ora.
