Chilean Miner’s Rescue チリ鉱夫の救出;

********************
One of the events of this year will undoubtedly be the Chilean Miner’s rescue which became a worldwide event. The whole event was followed by millions like an on-going drama. One of the most important reasons for this news story becoming so widely watched is the hope that humans can sometimes beat nature. Those miners should have died down there but for some reason they survived, and there is nothing better than a tale with a happy ending.　(by Prof. Simon Smith)

The number three has a lot of importance in English. Here are some further examples of the power of three and ways to use it.
The former British Prime Minister Tony Blair once famously said in a political speech:”Education, education, education”. Why do you think he repeated it three times? Well, even 10 years since he said those three words they are often repeated in the media. Similarly, everyone remembers an older quote “Government of the people, by the people, for the people” by Abraham Lincoln.
So if you want to be a great public speaker remember to repeat it three times! But before you make a speech remember to practise, practise, practise. (by Prof. Simon Smith )
