きょうは、日本のスーパーのレジについておはなしします。

私が海外旅行に行ったとき、
レジのところがベルトコンベアーになっているのをよく見かけました。

かごを置くのではなく、
カートの中身をそのまま自分でコンベアーに載せますよね。

私はコストコに行くのが好きなのですが、
コストコでも、自分で商品をベルトコンベアに載せます。

では、日本のレジはどうでしょう？

〈#54〉5月6日金曜日　「こどもの日」に体育館を無料開放

On the Italian island of Budelli, visitors like to look at a place called Spiaggia Rosa, a beautiful beach where the sand is pink.

But those visitors can only look — they can't touch the sand.

That's because the authorities want to preserve the beach. In the past, people have been seen taking the sand home with them.

Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished, as a Brazilian influencer has found out.

The travel influencer, who has more than 35,000 Instagram followers, took videos of herself walking on the beach and posted them online.

Italian websites said the woman had taken a boat to the beach so she could walk on the sand.

Tourists can visit the island and walk on a path behind the beach, but no one has been allowed on the sand or in the water around it since the 1990s.

Italians weren't happy when the influencer's videos were seen online.

While she had already left the island, the authorities were able to find her in Dubai, where she lives, and they fined her almost $2,000.

About $300 of the fine was for walking on the beach, and the rest was for using a boat that wasn't allowed to travel to the island.

Authorities say there are signs telling people they cannot enter the area.

No one lives on the island, which is just north of the large island of Sardinia.

However, a man whose boat broke down nearby lived on the island for more than 30 years until he was told to leave in 2021.
