Cafes are a popular meeting place — whether you're meeting a friend, meeting someone for the first time or even having an informal business meeting.

But Shojo Cafe is not the place to go if you're planning to talk to people. The new cafe in Osaka doesn't allow any sound — that means no music or talking, and orders must be made silently.

The cafe opened in April, as a space where people can go to enjoy some peace and quiet in a busy city.

It's run by AB Possible, an organization that supports people with disabilities. Many of the cafe employees are deaf or have hearing difficulties, and a space like this allows them to play an active role in society, the organization said.

Customers are asked to make their orders silently, such as by writing or pointing at the menu.

Sign language is also encouraged — and if you're interested in learning, there are informal sign language classes after the cafe closes. Classes are one hour long and cost 2,000 yen — or about $13 — which also includes a cup of matcha.

The organization said that, unlike a normal cafe where people talk to each other, the silence in Shojo Cafe will help customers focus on other things — like the color and taste of the cafe's tea and sweets. Customers can even try making the matcha themselves.

Cafe owner Haruna Matsumoto told The Asahi Shimbun the idea for the cafe came after she visited a silent cafe in Vietnam, and all she could hear was the sound of rain and people walking.

"I got to know the comfort of silence and the lively way the cafe staff worked," Matsumoto said, adding that she wanted more people to learn about both things.

No Talking Allowed at Osaka's Silent Cafe

Un cœur dans la glace
Gaspard, le souriceau, garde au fond de son cœur un petit secret: Susie, une petite souris coquine, lui a fait tourner la tête.
Mais Gaspard est quelque peu timide et lorsqu'il aperçoit la belle Susie, ses jambes se mettent à trembler et, bouche bée, il la regarde passer.
Comment lui déclarer sa flamme? Gaspard a une fabuleuse idée: il s'élance sur la mare gelée et dessine sur la glace un grand cœur pour sa bien-aimée. Celle-ci, clignant des yeux, lui offre alors un tendre baiser!

나의 취미 생활

나는 어릴 때부터 다양한 취미를 가져 왔다. 그림 그리기, 독서, 운동 등 여러 가지를 해 보았지만, 지금 가장 좋아하는 취미는 바로 베이킹이다. 베이킹을 시작하게 된 이유는 단순했다. 어느 날, 친구가 집에서 직접 만든 쿠키를 선물해 주었는데, 그 맛이 너무 특별하고 감동적이었다. 그래서 나도 직접 무언가를 만들어 보고 싶어졌다.

처음에는 오븐 온도 조절도 어렵고, 레시피를 따라하는 것도 힘들었다. 케이크를 만들다가 안에서 다 타 버린 적도 있고, 쿠키가 돌처럼 딱딱해진 적도 있었다. 실패할 때마다 속상했지만, 포기하지 않았다. 인터넷에서 베이킹 영상을 찾아 보고, 요리책도 여러 권 읽으면서 조금씩 실력을 쌓았다.

요즘은 쉬운 쿠키나 머핀뿐만 아니라, 치즈케이크나 마카롱 같은 어려운 디저트도 만들 수 있게 되었다. 가장 기억에 남는 순간은, 부모님 결혼기념일에 내가 만든 초콜릿 케이크를 선물했을 때이다. 부모님이 정말 맛있다며 행복해하셨고, 나도 뿌듯하고 기뻤다. 그날 이후로 베이킹은 나에게 단순한 취미가 아니라, 사랑을 전하는 방법이 되었다.

베이킹을 하면서 좋은 점이 많다. 하나는 스트레스를 해소할 수 있다는 것이다. 힘든 일이 있어도 반죽을 하고, 오븐에 굽고, 달콤한 냄새를 맡으면 마음이 편해진다. 또 다른 좋은 점은 주변 사람들과 행복을 나눌 수 있다는 것이다. 친구나 가족에게 직접 만든 빵이나 케이크를 선물하면, 모두가 웃으며 좋아한다. 이런 모습을 보면 내 마음도 따뜻해진다.

앞으로도 계속 베이킹을 즐기고 싶다. 그리고 언젠가는 나만의 특별한 디저트 레시피를 만들어 보고 싶다. 혹시 기회가 된다면 작은 베이커리를 열어 보는 것도 나의 꿈이다. 베이킹은 나에게 기쁨을 주는 소중한 취미이고, 앞으로도 내 삶에 큰 행복을 줄 것이라고 믿는다.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UN TREN PEQUEÑO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Que medios de transporte puedes usar para ir a otros lugares en tu ciudad?

2. ¿Cual es tu medio de transporte favorito?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Había un tren pequeño.

Tenía una máquina amarilla que parecía un sol.

Detrás sólo llevaba tres vagones de color rojo, como las
flores de las amapolas.

En la máquina, el conductor tocaba una campana muy
brillante. La campana sonaba muy fuerte haciendo TILÍN,
TILÍN.

El trenecito corría muy poco, porque le gustaba ir
viendo el paisaje que había junto a las vías.

El conductor se asomaba a la ventana de la máquina
amarilla.

El conductor se pasaba el día saludando a las casas y
a las granjas por las que pasaba, y también saludaba a las
vacas y a los corderos.

Era un tren pequeño pero muy simpático.
