On reste aujourd'hui à Lyon pour visiter un deuxième quartier : la Croix Rousse, la colline qui travaille ! Les canuts passent leurs journées à travailler la soie. Mais un jour, ils n'en peuvent plus, leurs conditions de travail sont désastreuses. La révolte gronde !

La révolution de la Croix Rousse

Petit hibou
Monsieur Hibou organise une fête : il est arrière-arrière-arrière-arrière-grand-père. Et, cette fois, c’est un garçon.
À peine éclos, le petit présente déjà un vaste front, signe qu’il deviendra un grand savant comme son illustre ancêtre.
Monsieur Hibou montre fièrement son héritier à chacun des invités en s’écriant :
- Voyez comme il me ressemble !

Histoire 12 - Petit hibou

بَلّش عَصْر الإِنْتَرْنِت بالسِّتِينَات أو السَبْعِينَات خِلَال الحَرْب البَارْدِة بَين رُوسْيَا وأمْرِيكَا.
طَبعًا بَلّش بالجَيش الأَمْرِيكِي وكَان الهَدَف هو التَوَاصُل مَع الوُزَارَات.
بِشَكِل عَام, الإِخْتِرَاعَات أول شِي بِتْبَلِّش بِالجَيش وبَعْدَين بْتِنْتِقِل للنَاس.
بِالتْمَانِينَات صَار الإِنْتَرْنِت مَسْمُوح بَين النَاس.
وبِالتِسْعِينَات إِنْتَشَر الإنترنت وصَار كتير نَاس يِسْتَخْدِمُوه.
وبِبِدَايِة القَرْن الحَالِي الإِنْتَرْنِت وِصِل لأَغْلَب البْلَاد تَقْرِيبًا.
حَالِيًا, الإِنْتَرْنِت صَار مَوجُود بِكِل بَيت ومُهِم كتير للحَيَاة اليَومِيِة.
وبَعَد كُورُونَا كْتِير نَاس صَارُوا يِسْتَخْدِمُوه مْشَان الشِغِل.

This podcast takes a look at how we choose our words to say the complete opposite of what we are telling you; when and how to complain; and provides you with an understanding of how to answer the eternal question when asked: "How are you?"

One Minute Speaking Challenge - Birthday

はい、こんにちは洋平先生です。え、今日は”～うちに” はいつ使う という質問をN4の生徒から受けましたんで、ちょっと話してみたいと思います。えー、” 何々のうちに 何々してしまおう・何々しよう” という文です。例えば
①明るいうちに帰ろう。
②赤ちゃんが寝ているうちに、少し休もう。
③日本にいるうちに、たくさん勉強しよう。
という文ですね。で、これをいつ使うかうんですが、 何々したら何々良くないと考えたらわかりやすいです。例えば、さっきの文で
 
 
えー、
①明るいうちに帰ろう。
これは『暗くなったら危険だね』だから、明るいうちに帰ろう。
で、次は
②赤ちゃんが寝ているうちに休もう。 
これは『起きたら大変だね。起きたらまた泣きますね』だから、赤ちゃんが寝ているうちに少し休もう。 
え、じゃあ、最後。
③日本にいるうちにたくさん日本語を勉強しよう。
 
これは、じゃ、皆さんで ”何々たら良くないね” 、という文をちょっと考えてみてください。はい、えーっと、ここで、自分で考えたい人は、ストップして考えてみてください。いいですか？
えー、例えば、 『国へ帰ったら日本語の勉強ができないよね』 
だから、日本にいるうちに、たくさん日本語を勉強しよう、という文です。どうですか、結構わかりやすくないですか。
はいで、えー、じゃあ、例えば他の会話で
 
A：ビールがぬるくなったら美味しくないね。
B：冷たいうちに飲もう。
 
こういう会話があります。じゃあこの”Bさん”の、2番目の文を最初にします。 
B：ビールは冷たいうちに飲もうよ。
え、この文を最初に言った言っても、もう ≪ぬるくなったら美味しくないよね≫ という気持ちが、もう入ってるんですね。
じゃ会話にしてみて、会話にして言ってみると、
 
A：ビールが冷たいうちに飲もうよ。
B：そうだね。ぬるくなったら美味しくないよね。
 
こういう会話が、自然に出てくると思います。 
どうですか、こう考えたら簡単じゃないですか。はい、じゃあ皆さん今日もご視聴（しちょう）ありがとうございました。勉強がんばってください。バイバイ

Positive thoughts for the New Year!
This is from a blog post I wrote at the start of 2021, but I think it is still really important now.

The Social Evolutionary

Last year was bad? Let's remember the good things.

Another part 2 topic for the Summer. I also have part 3 example answers on my website.


“Well, as I live in a very busy city, I sometimes really need to escape the noise, and crowds, as well as finding a place where I can just chill out and relax in peace.  My favourite place to go is a small cafe which is about 3 kilometres from my home, and only takes me about 10 minutes to get to on my motorbike. The cafe is located in the suburbs on an extremely beautiful lake, surrounded by many different kinds of trees, and is a world apart from the busy city centre.

 

I try to go there at least 3 or 4 times a week, and usually bring my laptop with me, as I find I can be very productive in this peaceful environment, and get lots of work done, in a short space of time. I love being able to sit at a quiet table outside on a perfect sunny day, with the many trees to shade me from the hot sun. I’m also able to sit right on the bank of the lake, with a view which is out of this world.

 

I guess the main reason I love to go to this place is because it’s just so quiet and peaceful, and I can get away from all the noise, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city centre, which sometimes drives me crazy. Another reason I like to go to this place is that I find the tranquil environment really, both inspires and motivates me in my work….. And I’m able to be much more productive than I would be if sitting in a noisy office or a busy city centre coffee shop. So…yea, this is a quiet place i love to go to.
