今日は家族とカンジャンケジャンを食べました。
カンジャンケジャンは韓国料理の一種で、生のカニを使った料理です。韓国料理は日本でとても人気ですが、この料理は日本では少し珍しい料理だと思います。
冷凍のカンジャンケジャンを買い、解凍して食べました。
私の祖母は「美味しい」と言ってたくさん食べていましたが、正直私はしょっぱ過ぎると思いました。私は薄味の料理が好きで、祖母は濃い味が好きです。母はなんでも好きです。
私たち家族はみんな韓国ドラマが好きなので、韓国ドラマに出ている色々な料理に挑戦してみたいです。

最好吃的水果。
我来北京学习汉语已经三个星期了。在这里，我有很多有意思的事情。
上星期，我生病了，向老师请假去医院看医生。所以，上午没去上课。中午十二点，我回宿舍了，同学告诉我老师要来。老师为什么来呢?他不相信我生病了吗 ?我很不高兴，我想去别的宿舍。可是，还没出去，老师就来了。我问老师:“老师，你不相信我生病了吗?”老师听了，笑起来”:“不，我来看看你怎么样了。现在你发烧吗？吃药了吗？看，我还去商店给你买了水果呢!”
这是我吃过的最好吃的水果。要是我去了别的宿舍，就不能吃水果了。

すずまりの日本語「ききみみ」ずきん

第4話　一年生になったら

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.
