Real English 40-Game Changer
Recently it is getting cooler. The afternoons are still hot, but at night and especially in the morning it is much cooler. On Monday I wore a long-sleeve shirt and pants instead of my usual summer attire of shorts and a tee-shirt for the commute. On Tuesday and Wednesday and also today, I did the same. Next weekend, I am planning to put away my summer clothes and take out my fall/winter clothes. One good thing about fall is that there is a lot of food which is in season. Saury is one of them. I like saury a lot, especially grilled with grated Japanese radish and soy sauce.
Have you ever eaten saury?
If yes, do you like it?
How do you like to eat it?
Any good recipes?
If no, why not? Don't you want to try it?
To change the subject, last weekend I watched The Emmy Awards, which is an award ceremony for the best TV shows of the year in America. It is the equivalent of The Grammy Awards for music, The Academy Awards for movies, and The Tony Awards for theater. "Game Change", a TV show, was nominated for and won a lot of awards. Then, the next day when I was reading Time Magazine, I read, "This could be a game changer for Republican Presidential Candidate Romney." And then, last night on CNN, I heard one announcer lead a segment titled, "Possible game changers of the Presidential election."
In the past 5 days, I have seen or heard or read the term "game changer" at least 3 times. You can't get more "Real English" than that.
So, do you understand it?
I define "a game changer" as "someone or something that changes the way something is done or thought about, or changes the momentum of something, for example a game or an election."
Example sentences:
1. I-pad was a game changer for the world of wireless technology.
2. The Eagles' running back's fumble in the 3rd quarter was the game changer. After that, the Eagles lost momentum and never recovered. In the end, they lost the game 24-16.
3. The electrifying speech given by the Presidential candidate could really be a game changer in the election.
Below is Saury in many shapes and forms!
