みんなの日本語　Lesson 5

みなさん、こんにちは。おげんきですか。日本は3連休です。そして、台風が来ています。
大型の台風が九州に近づいているようです。九州にお住まいの方、大丈夫ですか。気をつけてください。
19日の月曜日は敬老の日で、23日の金曜日は秋分の日なので、今週は休みが多いです。九月のこの連休のことをシルバーウイークって言うんですよ。

我が家の高校2年生の息子は、今日は学校の文化祭。今朝は台風の影響で雨足が強かったのですが、朝6時半に家を出て行きました。青春ですね。「文化祭、何をするの」って聞くと、「モグラたたき」って。えー、何それって感じです。人間モグラたたきのようですよ。楽しいことを考えますね。
コロナ前は入場制限もなく自由に学校見学に行けましたが、コロナ禍ということで、インターネットで予約してからの入場のようです。面倒な時代ですね。でも、インターネットでの配信も少しあるみたいなので、わざわざ学校まで足を運ばなくても、文化祭の様子を垣間見ることができます。これは、親にはありがたいですね。

娘は明日が誕生日です。で、雨ですが、原宿まで洋服を買いに行きたいと。日本の小学生はおしゃれが大好きですよ。
なので、大雨の中、私の姉も一緒に原宿にお買い物に行ってきました。私の姉ですから、娘にとってはおばさんですね。たくさん試着して、さんざん悩んで洋服を買いました。
娘との買い物は、私自身も楽しみなんです。あー、こんなのが好きなんだとか、大きくなったなあって思いながら、楽しく買い物しましたよ。原宿は雨でも混んでいました。

みなさんはどんな週末でしたか。

CHISTE DE PEPITO: LA TAREA.

以后(yǐ hòu) and 后来 (hòu lái) both include 后 this character , it means behind, in English they both could be translated as “later”, you can say they are the same in meaning, but not the usages, which make the 2 words very different, basically 后来 can only use in a past tense but 以后 can use in past or future tense, in this episode I will show you 5 example sentence to help you understand better

以后、后来

Standing desks have been promoted as a healthy alternative for office workers who don't want to stay seated in front of a computer all day. But a new study suggests that standing desks may not be so good for us after all.

A research team, led by scientists at the University of Sydney, has found that standing for over two hours a day may increase the risk of developing circulatory diseases that can prevent the proper flow of blood in the body.

The researchers looked at data from over 83,000 adults in the UK who were not suffering from heart disease at the start of the study. For seven days, the participants wore a device on their wrists that recorded the time they spent sitting or standing each day.

After collecting this data, the researchers recorded any heart disease or circulatory health problems the participants experienced over the following seven years.

The research team calculated that after standing for two hours, every extra 30 minutes someone stands increases their risk of having a circulatory disease by 11%.

And although standing was not associated with an increased risk of health problems like heart disease or stroke, standing does not reduce the risk of developing such health problems either.

Speaking to The Guardian, Matthew Ahmadi, one of the authors of the study, said the key point of the study's findings is that standing instead of sitting doesn't provide any health advantage, and could increase health risks for some people.

Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the other authors of the study, told The Guardian that moving around during the day and getting regular exercise are better ways to reduce the risk of heart disease.

"Take regular breaks, walk around, go for a walking meeting, use the stairs, take regular breaks when driving long distances, or use that lunch hour to get away from the desk and do some movement," he said.
