FOOD

CASAMENTO - Adélia Prado

Há mulheres que dizem:
Meu marido, se quiser pescar, que pesque,
mas que limpe os peixes.
Eu não. A qualquer hora da noite me levanto,
Ajudo a escamar, abrir, retalhar e salgar.
É tão bom, só a gente sozinhos na cozinha,
de vez em quando os cotovelos se esbarram,
ele fala coisas como “este foi difícil”
“prateou no ar dando rabanadas”
e faz o gesto com a mão.
O silêncio de quando nos vimos a primeira vez
atravessa a cozinha como um rio profundo.
Por fim, os peixes na travessa,
vamos dormir.
Coisas prateadas espocam:
somos noivo e noiva.

Korean Conversation 1 - Lesson 13. Part 1 한테, 한테(서), Part 2 -지만  (Beginner 1)

Traditional Chinese Medicine subject considers cold things will cause the body to get cold which influences Yang deficiency or blood stasis. When I was little, my mother always told me that don’t drink cold water, eat less ice cream, instead of that, drink hot water. 

But, if you want an iced drink, what can you do? It’s elementary, just say:  
我要冰的。 Wǒ yào bīng de – I want the cold one.’ ’冰’‘s meaning is ‘冰凉的（ice-cold）’。In the south of China, they use another word too, ‘冻(dòng)’.So, if you’re in Guangdong, you can also say such as’我要冻的- I want the cold one.’ or 冻啤酒(ice beer)’ and so on.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は曇り。
気温は22℃。

北海道はどんどん涼しくなっています。
みなさんが住んでいる地域はどうですか？

さて、今日はアレルギーについて。
私はアレルギー性の鼻炎があります。
花粉やハウスダストにアレルギーがあります。
季節の変わり目にも、アレルギーの症状がよく出ます。
くしゃみや鼻水が出る症状になります。
ひどい時は、くしゃみが止まらなくなる時もあります。

この症状をおさえるために、薬を飲むことが多いです。
薬を飲むと、1時間後ぐらいにはほとんど症状がおさまります。マスクをしていても症状は出るので、薬でコントロールすることが多いです。

ここ数日はアレルギーの症状が出ています。
最近、あまり出ていなかったので、少し油断していました。
北海道の何かか、季節の変わり目だからか理由はわかりませんが、アレルギーの症状が出ています。

症状がおさまらないと、集中できないので良くないですね。
早くおさまってほしいです。

みなさんはアレルギーがありますか？
ありませんか？

ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！
ということで、今日はアレルギーについて話しました。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
