--Story Below—

Once upon a time, there was a woman named Jaimie who lived in Japan with her two sons. Jaimie always wanted to learn English so she could communicate with people from other countries and teach her children the language as well. However, she found it difficult to find time to study because of her busy schedule with her children and household chores.

One day, Jaimie met a kind English teacher who understood her situation and wanted to help her learn. The teacher gave Jaimie three pieces of advice to help her find time to study.

The first piece of advice was to make a schedule and stick to it. Jaimie started to write a daily schedule to help her manage her time better. She planned to wake up an hour early to study English before her children woke up.

The second piece of advice was to make studying English fun. The teacher suggested that Jaimie listen to English music or watch English movies with her children. This way, they could learn together while having fun.

The third piece of advice was to join an English conversation group. The teacher gave Jaimie information on a group where she could practice her English with other learners. Jaimie was nervous at first, but she realized that everyone was there to learn and improve their English skills.

With the teacher's help, Jaimie found time to study English every day. She learned new words and phrases and became more confident in her ability to speak English. Her children also enjoyed learning with her and they even made new friends at the conversation group.
