History of chess and shogi
Chess is one of the most popular board games in the world. It was invented in the North of India around the 6th century. It traveled to Persia and then spread to the rest of the Asian countries. However, some people believe that chess was invented in China. They believed that a Chinese soldier named Hán Xin invented chess at around 200 B.C. to represent a battle. The game was forgotten after a few years but became popular again during the 7th century A.D. with a new set of rules.
Meanwhile, there is a traditional board game in Japan that is very similar to western chess which is called Shogi. It is believed that it came from India and was brought to Japan by Chinese people. Although the two games are very similar, they have a lot of differences when it comes to the rules.
The goal of these two games is to trap the opposite king. In western chess, the pieces are categorized by black and white to know which pieces are the enemies. Also, their chessboard has 64 squares. While on the other hand, a shogi chessboard has 81 squares. Their pieces are flat which are pointing to the enemy’s end.

You will read aloud the passage below. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.
(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

The Relationship Between Money and Happiness
A study by Professor David Clingingsmith of the Case Western University proves that money can buy happiness at some point. They found out that a person’s income is linked to his or her emotions and views in life. Also, people tend to have lesser negative emotions with increasing salaries.
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics checked on people’s level of negative emotions by asking how frequent they experience negative feelings. Clingingsmith used this data to prove that salary increase can decrease people’s negative emotions. It shows that household income is linked to the emotions of people in a family. Though negative emotions are believed to be linked to lower income, it does not only depend on that. The results are similar to the data from the Gallup Organization in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index (GHWBI) which is based on a single person’s income rather than household income. To look into their social and economic situations, a group of people was asked to rate the quality of their lives from 0, meaning the worst possible, to 10, which means the best possible. Some people naturally talk about each other’s lives and salaries so, it does not matter if they get over the negative emotions or not because they will still aim for higher salaries to avoid negative feelings. However, it is not the same for everyone. For example, a salary increase will not affect a very wealthy person’s feelings, but it will have a big effect on a poorer person’s feelings.
People work hard to improve the quality of their lives. They need to figure out the relationship between income and happiness to improve their positive emotions and achieve satisfaction in life.
