小狗太可爱了。它美发去哪儿做? 

귀엽죠? 저희 강아지 미용은 제가 집에서 주기적으로 직접 하고 있어요.
可爱吧? 我亲自在家定期给它做。 

전문적으로 미용기술을 배우신 거예요? 가게에서 한 줄 알았어요.
你专门学过美容技术吗? 我还以为是在店里做的。 

배운지는 몇 달 밖에 안 되었는데, 전보다 실력이 좀 많이 늘었어요. 
虽然刚学了没几个月, 但是比以前进步了不少。

大家好，今天我们来聊聊这个灯笼高挂、谜语飘香的节日——元宵节。
元宵节，又称为上元节, 时间为每年农历正月十五 ，是新年第一个月圆之夜。这天大家会出门赏月、赏花灯、猜灯谜、还能吃元宵。其中最受欢迎的莫过于赏花灯和猜灯谜了。街头巷尾，各式各样的灯笼争奇斗艳，有的像盛开的莲花，有的像活蹦乱跳的小兔子，还有的像龙飞凤舞，热闹非凡。而猜灯谜则是智慧的较量，漂亮的灯笼上会贴上各种谜语，这些谜语往往巧妙诙谐，猜中谜语还会有奖品，趣味十足。
Hi everyone! Today we’re talking about the festival of glowing lanterns and riddles in the air—Lantern Festival!
Also known as Shangyuan Festival, it falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, marking the first full moon of the new year.
On this night, people go out to admire the moon, enjoy colorful lantern displays, solve lantern riddles, and eat yuanxiao (sweet glutinous rice balls).
The most popular activities? Lantern viewing and riddle guessing!
Streets and alleys light up with dazzling lanterns of all shapes and sizes—some bloom like lotus flowers, others hop like playful rabbits, and some soar like dragons and phoenixes dancing through the sky. The whole scene is bursting with joy and energy!
As for lantern riddles: they’re a fun test of wit! Riddles are pasted onto beautiful lanterns—clever, witty, and often full of wordplay. If you solve one, you might even win a little prize! It’s festive, brain-teasing fun for all ages.

Apa kabar semua? Saya harap semua sehat ya! 
Wah, waktu berjalan sangat cepat. Tahun 2022 hampir selesai dan kita akan mulai dengan tahun 2023! Banyak hal yang terjadi di tahun ini untuk saya. Bagaimana dengan kalian? Pasti ada kegembiraan, kemarahan, kesedihan dan juga kesenangan di tahun ini, kan. Di Bahasa Jepang, empat emosi ini adalah "喜怒哀楽”. Di Bahasa Inggris yaitu "joy", "anger", "sadness", and "pleasure". Saya harap di tahun 2023, banyak kegembiraan yang akan didapat, tidak perlu mengingat hal-hal sedih yang sudah terjadi, dan semoga pintu kesempatan untuk hal-hal baru juga terbuka ya! 
皆さん、よいお年をお迎えください！来年もよろしくお願いします！ 
Happy New Year! Selamat berlibur dan sampai jumpa tahun depan! ^^
