Actually I haven't listened this NHK Radio program, "Five-Minute English."
Those phrases are checked only by Gogakuru Web-site.
So I'm having trouble catching their key point.
Where is its key point? Are those words idiom? What does the word mean?

I checked them by myself. And I fill them in "My Words Book".
This words book takes advantage of Microsoft Excel.
Excel is not all good for use as words book, I think.
Because I'm not used to this software, my words book ends up a state of "halfway measure."

I need to improve both English skills and basic computer skills.
