ベルギーの新しい働き方とは週の勤務時間を変えずに、１日に働く時間を増やすことで、週４日勤務を可能にする、勤務時間外の上司からの連絡を拒否できる、というものです。
この働き方について生徒と話していて、気づいたことがありました。

まず、一つ目はこの働き方ができる職種は限られるということです。サービス業の人や医療に関わる仕事をしている人は難しいと思います。
二つ目は、その人の体力によってできる人とできない人がいるという問題です。週に40時間働いている人が週４日勤務にする場合は１日に約10時間働く必要があります。週に10時間働くのは体力的に難しい。長時間働くと集中できなくなり、効率が悪くなるという人もいると思います。

「勤務時間以外の上司からの連絡を拒否できる」というルールについてもできる職業とできない職業があると思います。

でも、こういう選択ができるようになるということはとても素晴らしいことだと思います。この新しい働き方ができるようになって生活が楽になったり、ストレスが減る人もいると思います。
みなさんは週４日勤務ができるようになれば、やってみたいですか？

ベルギーの新しい働き方について、みなさんはどう思いますか？(For advanced learners)

In this episode, you’ll learn how to answer one of the most common questions you’ll hear when eating out in Korea:
👉 “몇 분이세요?” – “How many people are you with?”
We’ll break down what it means, how to respond naturally (and politely), and avoid some common mistakes like saying “세 분이세요” or “삼 명이에요.”
Let’s practice together and speak Korean with confidence!

[English Ver.]How to answer one of the most common questions in Korea "몇 분이세요?"

Being a picky eater can mean a number of different things. It may describe someone who doesn't like to try new foods, or someone who prefers plain meals. It can also refer to someone who eats quite a narrow range of foods.

It's quite common for children to be picky eaters. They may only like their pasta without sauce, or their bread cut in a certain shape.

Parents often feel they're to blame when their children are picky eaters. But according to a new study, picky eating is mostly caused by our genes.

Researchers in the UK looked at data from identical and non-identical twins who had been followed from birth since 2007.

Identical twins share 100% of their genes, while non-identical twins share half, on average. Studying these twins allowed the researchers to compare the eating habits of people who were genetically the same and those who weren't, but still grew up in the same home together.

More than 4,800 twins were included in the study. Their parents completed questionnaires about how picky their children were aged 16 months, then again at the ages of 3, 5, 7 and 13.

Not all parents completed the questionnaires as their children got older, but from the results, the researchers found that the eating habits of identical twins were much more similar than those of non-identical twins.

They also found that genetic variation explained 60% of the differences in food pickiness at 16 months, and 74% between the ages of 3 and 13. Meanwhile, shared environment only explained 15% to 26% of these differences, and the environmental effect was strongest when children were younger.

However, the researchers added that environmental effects are still important: parents can still influence their children's eating habits by eating together as a family, and by offering a wide variety of different foods, for example.
