Teacher Zoe- The Easy Way to Learn Natural English!

Top Tip 7- Write a Diary!

From cheap student dinners to quick lunches and easy camping meals, people around the world love instant noodles.

According to the World Instant Noodle Association, the world ate more than 118 billion servings of instant noodles in 2021.

While they are easy to make, instant noodles can sometimes be a bit boring — but they don't have to be! So if you'd like your instant noodles to be a little tastier, here are some easy changes you can make:

Add flavor
Fresh ginger, green onions and garlic are found in many Asian dishes, and adding them to your instant noodles is an easy way to improve the taste.

Then, try adding extra sauces, like soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil or gochujang paste, among others. You could also try mixing a few of them together.

Add vegetables and eggs
Adding vegetables and eggs to your noodles will not only make them taste better — they'll also increase the nutrients in the dish.

Put an egg into the boiling water that your noodles are cooking in for an easy poached egg. You can also throw in some vegetables — like mushrooms, carrots or spinach — or cook them on their own and add them to your noodles afterward.

Add coconut milk
Add coconut milk to the noodle water to make a sweeter, creamier soup. You could then add some vegetables, meat or fish, and some lime and you'll end up with a dish that's similar to a Malaysian laksa — and just as tasty!

La Befana



おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

みなさん、"マンガ"はもっていますか？

私は家に、たくさんのマンガがあります。

たぶん300冊(さんびゃくさつ)ぐらいあります。

いちばん、かずが多(おお)いのは、ONE PIECEです。

さいきん、ネットフリックス(Netflix)でも、
実写化(じっしゃか)されましたね。

とても、人気(にんき)のマンガですね。

私もこどものころから読(よ)んでいます。

ところで、本(ほん)やノートなどは、
なんと、かぞえますか？

1つ、じゃないですね。
1本、じゃないですね。

そう、"さつ"と言います！

1冊　いっさつ
2冊　にさつ
3冊　さんさつ
4冊　よんさつ
5冊　ごさつ

と、本は"さつ"といいます。

たとえば、

「としょかんで、本を5冊かりました。」

「私はまんがを2冊かいました。」

と言います。

ほかにも、"かん"ともいいます。

1巻　いっかん
2巻　にかん
3巻　さんかん
4巻　よんかん
5巻　ごかん

たとえば、こんなふうにいいます。

「ワンピースのいちばん、新しいやつ、もう読んだ？」

「うん、106巻だよね？読んだよ！
めっちゃおもしろかった！」


「ハリーポッターは全部(ぜんぶ)で
何巻までありますか？」

「全部で7巻まであります。」

といいます。

"さつ"と"かん"のちがいは、
わかりましたか？

ちはみに、ワンピースは
あなたは何巻が好きですか？

私は41巻で、ロビンがルフィに、

"私もいっしょに、海へ連れてって！"

と、さけぶところが好きです。

感動(かんどう)のシーンですね。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだんです！

また明日。
