Despertarse con el vuelo de una mosca

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんpodcastのゆかりです。

いまは、11月ですね。

日本は秋から冬(ふゆ)になる季節(きせつ)です。

11月だと、すこし寒(さむ)いです。

でも、今年(ことし)はまだまだ、あたたかいです。

今日、大阪の気温は24度もありました。

11月にしては、あたたかい・・というより、

あつい！です。

ニュースでは、今年の日本の冬は、

"暖冬(だんとう)"といっています。

暖かい冬、とかいて、だんとうです。

いみは、そのまま、あたたかい冬。

いつもの年より、あたたかい冬、ということです。

寒いより、あたたかい方が、きもちがいいですね。

でも、雪があまりふらないと、
スキーやスノーボードができません。

こまることもあります。

今年の日本の冬は"暖冬"。

さて、どうなるでしょうか。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です、


また明日！

🎙 One-Minute Speaking Challenge by Anatoly Glazkov – Voice Unlock Method™

One minute speaking challenge. Episode 20. Weather

On her first day at a new school, Sara was nervous. The computer suddenly stopped working in the middle of her lesson, and the students started whispering. Without panicking, she smiled, grabbed a marker, and turned the lesson into a game on the board. The students got excited and joined in. After class, another teacher said, “Wow, you were really on the ball.”
Sara laughed and said, “I had to be — teaching always keeps you on your toes.”


Tom works in an office. One morning, his boss asks for a report.
Tom already has the information ready. He answers quickly and fixes a small mistake.
The boss smiles and says,
“Good job, Tom. You’re really on the ball today.”

Idiom : "On the ball” means alert, quick to understand, and doing your job well.

If you are on the ball, you:
pay attention
understand quickly
react fast be
are prepared

Examples:
Our new teacher is really on the ball — she noticed the mistake immediately.
You have to be on the ball in this job; things change fast.
