오늘 새로운 친구를 만났어요

오늘 저는 새로운 친구를 만났어요. 아침에 학교에 갔을 때, 선생님이 새로운 친구를 소개해 주셨어요. 그 친구의 이름은 민수예요. 민수는 우리 반에 새로 온 친구예요.

처음에는 조금 어색했어요. 민수도 긴장한 것 같았어요. 하지만 선생님이 우리를 같은 조로 정해 주셨어요. 그래서 우리는 같이 활동을 했어요. 민수는 수학을 잘했어요. 그래서 저에게 문제를 푸는 방법을 알려 주었어요. 저는 민수에게 학교에 대해 설명해 주었어요. 이렇게 이야기하면서 우리는 친해졌어요.

점심시간에 저는 민수에게 같이 밥을 먹자고 했어요. 우리 반 친구들도 같이 먹었어요. 우리는 좋아하는 음식과 취미에 대해 이야기했어요. 민수는 축구를 좋아했어요. 저도 축구를 좋아해요. 그래서 쉬는 시간에 운동장에서 축구를 하기로 했어요.

쉬는 시간이 되었어요. 우리는 운동장으로 갔어요. 친구들과 같이 축구를 했어요. 민수는 달리기를 정말 빨리 했어요. 그리고 골도 넣었어요. 우리는 재미있게 놀았어요. 시간이 금방 지나갔어요.

수업이 끝난 후, 저는 민수에게 내일도 같이 놀자고 했어요. 민수는 웃으며 "좋아!"라고 했어요. 우리는 벌써 좋은 친구가 되었어요. 새로운 친구를 만나서 기뻤어요. 내일도 민수와 함께 놀고 싶어요.

お久（ひさ）しぶりです。

久しぶりにポッドキャストを作（つく）った。去年（きょねん）の10月（じゅうがつ）以来（いらい）だ。本当（ほんとう）は毎月（まいつき）１回（いっかい）アップロードしたいと思（おも）っていたけど、ポッドキャストを録音（ろくおん）するアプリにログインできなくなってしまって、諦（あきら）めていた。今回（こんかい）は別（べつ）のツールで作成（さくせい）してみることにした。私（わたし）のポッドキャストは特別（とくべつ）な話（はなし）をするわけでもないし、たわいもない話ばかりだけど、誰（だれ）かの文章読解（ぶんしょう・どっかい）や単語暗記（たんご・あんき）、発音（はつおん）など何（なに）かしら学習（がくしゅう）のきっかけになればいいなと思って録音してる。これからも取（と）るに足（た）らない私の話を吐（は）き出（だ）していこうと思う。また聞（き）きに来（き）てくれる人（ひと）はいるだろうか。

お久しぶりです。

Viktor: Morning!
Sam: Hi, how are you?
Viktor: Great, thanks. Hey, did you set up the camera trap yesterday?
Sam: Yes, I did! Mom helped me put it up on the wall above the back door and we pointed it down and towards the grassy bit of garden. Did you?
Viktor: Totally. But something went wrong after I tied it to a tree in the park. Look, I’ve got some amazing video here. Let me forward it a bit … there – look.
Sam: Oh yeah, what is it? Can you zoom in? It’s very small.
Viktor: Can you see it now?
Sam: Ah, it’s a fox. I love the way it’s moving – like something between walking and running. What’s it got in its mouth?
Viktor: I think it’s a rabbit. The fox must be coming back from hunting.
Sam: That’s amazing. Anyway, what went wrong?
Viktor: Watch...
Sam: Woah! Did the camera just fall out of the tree?
Viktor: Yes! It was a windy night, wasn’t it? I must have tied it too loosely.
Sam: Ha-ha, well, you got some great stuff before the camera fell. It didn’t get damaged, did it?
Viktor: No, it didn’t. It’s okay. Did you get anything?
Sam: Yes, actually. We watched it over breakfast. I don’t have it here – I’ll send it to you later, but there were at least a couple of animals in the garden.
Viktor: What did you see?
Sam: Some kind of … well, I think it was a mouse, but it was quite big. My sister thinks it was a rat. Mum didn’t look too happy about that! She told me to get rid of it – whatever it was!
Viktor: Aw, rats are okay. It probably just lives in the garden – and they have to live somewhere.
Sam: I agree – as long as it stays outside and doesn’t come in the house.
Viktor: Anything else?
Sam: Oh, yes – I’m really thrilled about this one – we’re absolutely sure that we saw a hedgehog walking across from the neighbor’s garden to our back fence and then under it to the park behind.
Viktor: Oh, I love hedgehogs!
Sam: Yes, me, too!

In most parts of the world, students study English in school for years. Yet, the vast
majority of them never learn to speak English well. After years of study, they still
have trouble with real English conversations. They still feel nervous and shy about
speaking. To speak effortlessly, you need to exert effort.
