Chapter 9 In the Rosebush

Dubai has begun work on a new $35 billion airport terminal that will become the world's busiest when it's finished, according to the state's ruler.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said that the new terminal at Al Maktoum International airport will one day handle up to 260 million passengers per year.

But if that sounds like a travel nightmare, the CEO of Dubai Airports has different ideas. Paul Griffiths said that at the 400-gate airport there will be less walking, less waiting and no queues.

Griffiths said that airports around the world have gotten lazy and this one will change the way airports work.

His plan includes having security and passport checkpoints spread out around the terminal to save people time.

But 260 million is a lot of passengers. It's more than double the number that used the world's busiest airport in 2023. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, handled 105 million passengers last year.

Dubai International Airport (DXB), the state's main airport at the moment, was second in that list with 87 million passengers.

However, all of that traffic will move to Al Maktoum over the next few years, according to Sheikh Mohammed.

Al Maktoum, which first opened in 2010, will be five times bigger than DXB when it's finished.

It's not only at the airport that building is taking place. Sheikh Mohammed said that an "entire city" will be built in the area around the airport, with homes for a million people.

"Dubai will be the world's airport," he said on X, and the world's "new global center."

Un amor mas allá de las palabras

はい。こんにちはようへい先生です。えー、今日は”すごい”の お話(はなし）をします。
1ヶ月ぐらい前にアメリカ人の生徒（せいと）と会話（かいわ）をしました。ちょっと聞いてください。 
せいと：ようへい先生、ちょっとハサミを取ってください。
ようへい：はい、どうぞ。
せいと：すごい。
ようへい：？？？

はい、この”すごい”は ちょっとへんです。It`s a little bit weird for Japanese.
“すごい” 16課でならう ”すごい”は、「日本語が上手ですね。すごいですね」 え～、これはとても良い、splendid という意味(いみ）ですね。と、あと12課で「うわあ、すごい人ですね」とならいました。これは多い”、”たくさん”、という意味（いみ）ですね。
はい。あと、カジュアル、casual expression, colloquial speechで、すごいはとても という意味（いみ）にもなります。で、えー、このアメリカ人の生徒(せいと）の方は、あー、”great=すごい” と思ったんだと思います。
で、日本人の英語を勉強してる人も、このグレイトをえ、とてもとても良い、splendidと思っている人が多いんですね。でも、ちょっとちがいますね。great。うん、 すごい。
この場合（ばあい）、In this case、
せいと：ちょっとはさみを取ってください、ようへい先生。
ようへい：はい、どうぞ。
せいと：”ありがとう”！

これがいいですね。うん、This is better. はい。これをまちがっている生徒（せいと）が、時々います。ちょっと気をつけてください。 
はい、今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。じゃあ、日本語の勉強がんばってください。バイバイ👋

＃２　すごい＝great...じゃありませんよ！ 

The working world has changed since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, with new challenges for many employees and managers.

This year the focus of World Mental Health Day on October 10 is mental health in the workplace.

In the US, an estimated 1 million workers miss work every day because of job stress. And it's a similar situation in many countries around the world.

But there are lots of things we can do to help look after our mental health — and the mental health of our colleagues — when we're at work.

Experts from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have shared a few ideas, including simple things like saying "thank you" to others.

They also suggest practicing good "email etiquette." This means making your emails clear with an "accurate subject line," "concise summary" of what you're asking and a "clear timeline."

The mental health charity Mind says people should make sure they find time to take breaks. Many workers can take lunch breaks and perhaps other small breaks during the day and even a short time away from the desk can help you to feel a little better.

According to Harvard Business Review, managers need to understand that "work is about people, and people are messy and difficult."

This means understanding that employees all have their own challenges.

The first thing that managers can do, says psychologist Emily Anhalt, is show that they care about mental health in the workplace.

Making a difference to employees' mental health is not "a quick and easy thing," she said. It's a long journey — that might start on October 10, but it will need to last for years.

Tips for Workplace Health on World Mental Health Day

Recuerdo que hace unos siete u ocho años en clase con una estudiante estadounidense, esta me hablaba de la gentrificación en Estados Unidos y para mí resultaba un concepto muy ajeno a mi realidad. Hoy en día, he vivido de primera mano esa situación, por ejemplo, desde dónde grabo este episodio, en Medellín Colombia, tuvimos la experiencia en carne propia y los efectos del tema de hoy. Conozcamos más de la gentrificación en América Latina.
