時事ネタのニュースについて話してみよう

Talking about a current issue
あなたは時事ネタのニュースに関して話しています
日本でもそうですが、もし外国人と政治や宗教の話をする場合、それぞれの国の主義思想があり言い方が難しくなります。しかし避けて通れない会話トピックではあるため、寛容な気持ちを持って何事も断定的に話さず、相手のバックグラウンドを理解しつつ仮定的に話を持って行けば割とスムーズにいく場合が多いです。

What's that about?

I read an article about how we can choose the best English video to learn the language for kids.
Video sharing websites are an excellent place to learn languages. There are lots of reasonable videos for adults and children, from useful tips to English-language stories and songs.

However, not all the videos are helpful, and it's hard to know what to trust, especially when comes to kids content.

I read an article about how we can choose the best English videos to learn the language for kids.
Video sharing websites are an excellent place to learn languages. There are lots of suitable videos for adults and children, from useful tips to English-language stories and songs.

However, not all the videos are helpful, and it's hard to know what to trust, especially when it comes to kids' content.

1. Changed to 'videos' to maintain consistency with the plural form used in the rest of the sentence and paragraph.
2. While 'reasonable' isn't incorrect, 'suitable' is more commonly used when describing content that is fitting or appropriate for a particular purpose or group.
3. 'When it comes to' is a fixed expression in English, and the pronoun 'it' is necessary for grammatical correctness.
4. The apostrophe is added to make 'kids' possessive, indicating that the content belongs to or is intended for kids.
That's a good point. Finding a well-constructed video is quite hard. What are some of the things we need to look for?

First, it's important to pay close attention to videos our children are watching. Younger children should never be left to use devices on their own. When it comes to checking the quality of the content, I suggest choosing reputable creators.

1. 'Crucial' and 'vital' are possibilities.
2. In this context, we're referring to specific videos that children are watching, so the definite article is appropriate here.
Good advice, and very important. I agree, but how do we know whether a creator is reputable or not, apart from the big names?

We could ask for advice on a message board we trust or ask someone who has a good knowledge of English, like Best Teacher's instructors, if we are not sure.
Of course using video can be a better way, but we need to remember that too much screen time is not good for our health.

1. Introductory words and phrases are followed by a comma.
2. Use the plural form for general references.
