Meaning: Ride
Using your mouth, you read an article to an audience of 300 people. It’s an article about mouths, actually. The article talks all about mouths and what they do and how people learned to use them. What an interesting mouth article.
Imagine how nervous you would be reading an article in front of so many people. Maybe the nervousness causes your mouth to tremble. All you’re doing is reading an article about mouths, but it’s still a bit nerve wracking. Stay strong.
Reading: じょう
What was it the article was about again? I’ll give you a hint (ひん): you use it to speak. Did you get it? Mouths. It’s an article about mouths. Wasn’t that hint helpful?
Think about how silly you would feel if you forgot what you were talking about as you read your article. You’re using your own mouth to talk about mouths. Did you really need a hint? Ridiculous.
