Cuando hablamos de globalización resulta imprescindible reconocer la gran trascendencia que ha tenido a lo largo de la historia, posterior a la segunda guerra mundial, época en la que decidieron unirse esfuerzos para una mayor apertura económica y política principalmente.

Hoy en día es impensable imaginar un mundo no globalizado, gente no conectada, empresas no vinculadas a la tecnología, desaparición de culturas emergentes surgidas a partir de la fusión con otras o la transculturización, entre tantos otros escenarios que reflejan la globalización en nuestro tiempo.

¿Resulta cuestionable pensar si estamos más a merced de las consecuencias de la globalización? 
Cuéntame, ¿tú qué opinas?. Comparte y comenta...Es muy útil para los que producimos podcasts conocer el impacto en los  estudiantes-oyentes...

Mrs Frisby looked again at the sun and saw that she faced an unpleasant choice. She could go home by the same roundabout way she had come, in which case she would surely end up walking alone in the woods in the dark — a frightening prospect, for at night the forest was alive with danger. Then the owl came out to hunt, and foxes, weasels and strange wild cats stalked among the tree trunks. The other choice would be dangerous, too, but with luck it would get her home before dark. That would be to take a straighter route, across the farmyard between the barn and the chicken house, going not too close to the house but cutting the distance by half. The cat would be there somewhere, but by daylight — and by staying in the open, away from the shrubs — she could probably spot him before he saw her.
The cat: He was called Dragon. Farmer Fitzgibbon’s wife had given him the name as a joke when
he was a small kitten pretending to be fierce. But when he grew up, the name turned out to be an apt one. He was enormous, with a huge, broad head and a large mouth full of curving fangs, needle sharp. He had seven claws on each foot and a thick, furry tail, which lashed angrily from side to side. In colour he was orange and white, with glaring yellow eyes; and when he leaped to kill, he gave a high, strangled scream that froze his victims where they stood.

EP 12. FRASES INCORRECTAS QUE DICES EN ESPAÑOL

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日も北海道からとっています。


さて、今日は祇園祭(ぎおんまつり)について。
聞いたことがりますか？

日本では、昔からいろんな祭り(festival)があります。
地元(じもと)の祭りや大きな祭りがあります。

今日は日本三大祭りの１つ、祇園祭について話します。
祇園祭とは、夏に京都で行われる祭りのことです。
7月の1ヶ月でいくつかの行事があります。


祇園祭の起源(きげん＝roots)は平安時代初期(へいあんじだいしょき)にさかのぼります。その時代は、疫病(えきびょう＝ひろがる病気)が流行(りゅうこう)していました。

人々は、これを死んだ人たちの祟り(たたり)だと考えました。ですので、祟りをしずめるために、まちをあるく「御霊会〔ごりょうえ〕」をはじめました。

これが祇園祭のはじまりです。

祇園祭のシンボルは山車〔だし〕という大きなものです。
屋根に長い槍(やり)を持ち、2階にはお囃子(おはやし)をするひとたちが乗っています。またひとがかつぐようなものもあります。

先日、はじめて、じっくりと祇園祭を見ました。
1ヶ月の間の最後の行事でしたが、人がたくさん見にきていて、とても熱気がありました。そして、伝統的(でんとうてき)な雰囲気(ふんいき)がありました。

みなさんの国では、伝統的な祭りはありますか？
ぜひ、わたしのレッスンでお話しましょう！

ではまた！
