Personal stuff  وسایل شخصی

In todays episode I would like to discuss the importance of reading, and the reasons you should follow to start your English learning ability.

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 2 : Why is reading important for students? 

Modern society's emphasis on instant gratification has made people less patient.
In this episode, I explore the concept of patience, sharing some common expressions and explaining how patience relates to self-control, strength of character, and emotional intelligence. I include reflections on the importance of patience in modern society, including its impact on personal growth, resilience, and the everyday challenges of life. (Level B2+)

Il francese mi perseguita

Every time you're online, you are bombarded by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their story. Unfortunately, not all of these stories are true. Sometimes they want you to click on another story or advertisement at their own site, other times they want to upset people for political reasons. These days it's so easy to share information. These stories circulate quickly, and the result is … fake news.

There is a range of fake news: from crazy stories which people easily recognise to more subtle types of misinformation. Experts in media studies and online psychology have been examining the fake news phenomenon. Read these tips, and don't get fooled!

1. Check the source
Look at the website where the story comes from. Does it look real? Is the text well written? Are there a variety of other stories or is it just one story? Fake news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don't have many real stories about other topics. If you aren't sure, click on the 'About' page and look for a clear description of the organisation.

2. Watch out for fake photos
Many fake news stories use images that are Photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed. Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search. It will show you if the same image has been used in other contexts.

3. Check the story is in other places
Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust. If you do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn't fake (although there are some exceptions), as many big news organisations try to check their sources before they publish a story. 

4. Look for other signs
There are other techniques that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS and lots of ads that pop up when you click on a link. Also, think about how the story makes you feel. If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
打をやります！　

音読み　だ
訓読み　うーつ　送り仮名は、つ

意味は、うつ、たたく、とかです。
打つ、という言葉は日本では野球で使われることが多いです。その為、この文字は野球の関係の言葉が多いです。また、野球の言葉から転じて日常生活で使うこともよくあります。

例えば、

・打撃ーだげき　強く打つこと、相手に痛手を与えること

・打刻ーだこく　時刻を記録すること

・打算ーださん　損得を考えて判断すること

・打席ーだせき　野球のバッターボックスのこと、ビジネスなどの機会などの表現にも使う

・代打ーだいだ　ピンチヒッター。交代して打席に立つこと。転じてビジネスなどで誰かの代わりに仕事を受けること。

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・物価がほとんど変わらなかった30年は日本の成長に大きな打撃を与えた

・仕事から上がる時には忘れずに打刻してください

・彼はいつも打算的に行動する

・できるだけたくさんの打席に上がった方がいいよ

・今日は鈴木さんの代打で来ました。よろしくお願いします。


こんな感じです。

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！
