上級クラス復習(6月19日)

Last week in my advanced class we looked at an article about Iran called:
Iran: Rap, blogs and the political mix.
It is about how young people are fighting against the oppressive religious regime (圧政的な宗教体制)through fashion, music and the internet etc.
You can see the article here:

  • make overtures -
    ~に提案する、~に対して有利な申し入れをする
  • savvy - 実際的知識、手腕、機転、常識
  • push the limits - 限界を押し広げる、現状を打破する
