手土産って難しい・・・

GWに関西に帰り、旦那と私、両家の母親の合計４人で食事に行った。
旦那のお義母さんは、２つも手土産を持ってきていた。１つは京都の名産であるタケノコ、もう１つは高そうな和菓子だった。一方、私の母は１つしか手土産を持ってきていなかった。しかもリーズナブルな大阪のお菓子だ。その手土産は相手が持って帰るときに重くならないようにと選んだのだが、何とも言えない気持ちになった。
次回からは手土産なしで会を開こうと思う。

شازده کوچولو، فصل دوم

Today we’re talking about "Look after"

It sounds responsible, right? If you "look after" something, you’re taking care of it. You know, like when you "look after" a friend’s cat. But let’s be honest, you probably just fed it, gave it water, and then spent three hours watching Netflix

"Phrasal Verbs Gone Wild!"

Ep.3: "Look After... But Not Too Closely"

Lorsque vous devez vous présenter, vous ne savez pas toujours comment le faire. Certains aiment rester à la base en partageant leur nom et leur âge, tandis que d'autres partent sur leurs origines, leurs loisirs, et j'en passe. Enfin... il n'y a aucune règle donnée lorsqu'il s'agit de se présenter. A vous d'improviser!

前回のエピソードで「休み」の重要な使い方を説明するのを忘れていました。前回のエピソードをまだ聞いていない人は後で聞いてみてください。

「今日私は休みです。」皆さんはこの文の意味がわかりますか？これは「今日私は仕事がありません。」という意味です。
アルバイトをしている人は「バイトがない」「シフトがない」という意味です。
何かの理由があって仕事に行かなかった場合には「今日学校を休んでいます」「昨日仕事を休みました」と言います。
仕事の予定がなかった場合は「今日は休みです」「昨日は休みでした」と言います。
また連休という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？連休とは連続した休みのことです。例えば、土日がいつも休みの人の場合、月曜日が祝日で休みの時は土曜日と日曜日と月曜日が休みなので三連休になります。

みなさんは次の連休に何をしますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

重要な：じゅうような　important
予定：よてい　plan
連続した：れんぞくした　consecutive
祝日：しゅくじつ　national holiday

休みと連休-Today’s Word

Have you ever accidentally gotten on a bus that was going out of service?

What do you expect would happen next? The driver would probably open the door and tell you to get off, and they wouldn't start driving until the bus was empty.

But that's not what happened to two tourists in Kyoto.

When they accidentally got on a bus that was going out of service in early June, the driver just closed the doors and drove away with them still on board.

And yes, he knew they were there.

But he was afraid to talk to them because they were foreigners, and he didn't know how to communicate with them.

As The Asahi Shimbun reported, the tourists — a man and a woman — got on the bus through the back door after all the other passengers exited at Kyoto station.

When they realized what had happened, the tourists asked the driver to stop, but he didn't understand them and just kept driving.

He later said he thought it would be best to deal with them at the bus terminal office.

When the driver wouldn't stop, the tourists called the police. An officer spoke to the driver over the phone, and the driver finally stopped.

They had been driving for around 20 minutes, traveling a distance of about 4 kilometers.

The West Japan JR Bus Company said: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Our employee training was insufficient, and our employee did not handle the situation correctly. We will thoroughly train our employees in the future."

Kyoto has a number of train and subway lines, but some of its most famous sites are most conveniently visited by bus — including Kiyomizudera temple in the east, and the gold-covered Kinkakuji temple in the northwest.
