Я думаю, вы уже знаете, что я живу на Среднем Урале в Свердловской области. Столица Свердловской области - город Екатеринбург. А ещё Екатеринбург - самый большой город на границе Европы и Азии.
В 18 веке известный российский историк Василий Татищев провёл границу Европы и Азии по Уральским горам. В 1846 году на границе Европы и Азии поставили первый каменный столб (обелиск). На территории Свердловской области построили 34 обелиска «Европа-Азия».
Вы можете увидеть такой памятник недалеко от Екатеринбурга. Это огромный мраморный постамент со смотровой площадкой и металлической скульптурой. С одной стороны написано – Азия, а с другой стороны – Европа.  В основание символа границы положили два камня. Один камень привезли с самой крайней точки Европы - мыса Рока, а другой - с самого края азиатской части континента – мыса Дежнёва.
Здесь можно не только сделать интересные фото и купить сувениры. Можно послушать русские песни, выпить чаю с национальными русскими десертами. А ещё можно получить именной сертификат «Нарушителя границы». Туристы очень любят это уникальное место и часто приезжают сюда на экскурсии.

По-русски легко!

The Role of Body Language and Nonverbal Communication in English

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は雨。
気温は21℃です。

今日は、台風について。
日本には、今、まさに台風が来ています。

毎年この季節になると、だいたい8月から9月の終わりぐらいまで台風が来ます。今来ている台風は14号です。
ですので、今年に入って14個目の台風、ということですね。
台風には1つずつに名前がつきます。今回の14号はナンマドル、という名前だそうです。日本では基本的には14号と数字で呼ばれます。

以前からアメリカではハリケーンが発生した時に人名を付けていましたが、北西太平洋または南シナ海で発生する台風防災に関する各国の政府間組織である台風委員会（日本含む14カ国等が加盟）は、2000年からアジアで決められた140の名前を使って、台風に名前をつけます。

ちなみに、日本からの使われるように登録されているのは、

コイヌ
ヤギ
ウサギ
カジキ
コト
クジラ
コグマ
コンパス
トカゲ
ヤマネコ

という名前です。

今まで気にしたことがなかったので、これからは台風の名前についても気にしようと思います。


とはいえ、今回の台風はとても大きいです。
飛行機や電車が止まったりしてます。

台湾や中国、韓国の方も影響あるかもしれませんね。
日本に住んでいるみなさんは、気をつけてください。

ということで、今回は台風の名前について話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
