Episodio #1. Apapachar

Negara Indonesia kaya dengan keberagaman. Sebanyak sekitar 5% dari penduduk Indonesia beretnis tionghoa, dan tradisi perayaan tahun baru imlek menjadi salah satu hari raya yang ikut memeriahkan banyak daerah di tanah air Indonesia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara demokrasi yang saling menghargai dan mencintai keberagaman. Sekalipun beragam dalam berbagai latar belakang, tapi Indonesia tetap satu. Itulah "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," yang menjadi semboyan bangsa Indonesia yang tertulis pada lambang negara. Mari kita mengenal tradisi dari perayaan tahun baru imlek. MERDEKA! 

Indonesia is rich in diversity. About 5% of the population in Indonesia is of Chinese descent, and the tradition of celebrating the Chinese New Year becomes one of the festive occasions that enlivens many regions in the archipelago. This indicates that Indonesia is a democratic country that values and embraces diversity. Despite the diversity in various backgrounds, Indonesia remains united. That is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," the national motto of Indonesia written on the state emblem. Let's get to know the traditions of celebrating the Chinese New Year. MERDEKA!

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.

From Poverty to Popularity: The History of Pizza

今日のテーマは「日本のコンビニ」です。日本に住んでいる方や、これから日本に行く予定の方にとって、とても身近で便利な存在ですよね。今日は、その魅力や特徴について、簡単にお話しします。

日本のコンビニは、24時間営業が基本で、全国に約5万8千店舗もあります。セブンイレブン、ローソン、ファミリーマートが主なチェーンですが、地域によっては、他のチェーンも見かけますよね。コンビニというと、ちょっとした買い物や急ぎの用事を済ませる場所というイメージがありますが、日本のコンビニはそれ以上の役割を果たしています。

例えば、食べ物や飲み物だけでなく、ATMの利用や宅配便の受付、公共料金の支払いも可能です。また、コピーや印刷、さらには映画やイベントのチケットの購入もできます。最近では、コンビニ内でのカフェスペースも増えてきており、そこで一息つくこともできますね。これだけ多くのサービスが一か所で提供されているのは、海外から来た方にとっても驚きではないでしょうか。

そして、何と言っても、日本のコンビニで人気なのは「おにぎり」や「お弁当」です。毎日新鮮で、美味しい料理が手軽に買えるのは、本当に便利です。おにぎりの種類も豊富で、具材は定番の梅や鮭から、最近では洋風の味付けのものまであります。また、温かいスープや麺類、お惣菜も充実していて、健康を気にする人向けの商品もたくさん揃っています。

私が個人的におすすめしたい商品は、セブンイレブンの「金の食パン」と、ローソンの「プレミアムロールケーキ」です。どちらもとても美味しくて、手軽に買えるのにクオリティが高いんです。コンビニスイーツも、日本ではとても人気で、どのチェーンもそれぞれの特色を出して競い合っています。

日本のコンビニは、ただの便利な場所ではなく、生活を豊かにする多機能な施設です。ぜひ、日本にいる間に色々なコンビニを巡って、自分のお気に入りを見つけてください。今日のエピソードが皆さんの日本の生活や旅行に役立てば嬉しいです。

Сегодня у нас в программе очень интересная книга в жанре путешествия от Ильфа и Петрова - “Одноэтажная Америка”. Посмотрим, какие у них были впечатления от того, как они впервые попробовали.. Впрочим, скоро вы всё узнаете сами!

Как всегда, читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Знаки препинания я буду называть, их будет несколько: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-). двоеточие (:) и восклицательный знак(!).

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “тринадцатый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
