설악산에 다녀왔어요.

나는 지난 주말에 친구들과 함께 설악산에 다녀왔다. 설악산은 한국에서 아주 유명한 산 중 하나이다. 우리는 아침 일찍 출발해서 설악산 국립공원에 도착했다.

처음에는 날씨가 조금 흐렸지만, 공기가 상쾌하고 기분이 좋았다. 우리는 천천히 산을 오르기 시작했다. 산길에는 아름다운 나무와 맑은 계곡이 있었다. 나는 그 풍경이 정말 아름답다고 생각했다.

산을 오르면서 우리는 여러 곳을 구경했다. 먼저 신흥사라는 절을 방문했다. 절은 조용하고 고요해서 마음이 편안해졌다. 절 근처에는 큰 부처님 동상이 있었다. 우리는 그 앞에서 사진을 찍었다.

그 후, 우리는 권금성으로 가는 케이블카를 탔다. 케이블카를 타고 올라가니 멋진 경치가 보였다. 높은 곳에서 아래를 내려다보니 산과 바다가 함께 보여서 정말 아름다웠다. 나는 친구들과 함께 감탄하며 사진을 많이 찍었다.

점심으로 우리는 산에서 유명한 감자전과 막국수를 먹었다. 감자전은 바삭하고 맛있었고, 막국수는 시원하고 맛있었다. 음식을 먹으면서 친구들과 이야기하며 즐거운 시간을 보냈다.

식사 후, 우리는 비룡폭포를 보러 갔다. 폭포는 물이 시원하게 떨어지고 있었고, 소리가 우렁찼다. 나는 폭포 앞에서 손을 씻었는데 물이 아주 차가웠다. 친구들과 함께 폭포 앞에서 사진을 찍고 잠시 쉬었다.

하산할 때는 다리가 조금 아팠지만, 마음은 행복했다. 설악산의 자연은 너무 아름다웠고, 좋은 추억을 많이 만들었다. 다음에 기회가 되면 단풍이 아름다운 가을에 다시 오고 싶다.

이 여행은 정말 즐거운 경험이었다. 😊

前回のエピソードで「休み」の重要な使い方を説明するのを忘れていました。前回のエピソードをまだ聞いていない人は後で聞いてみてください。

「今日私は休みです。」皆さんはこの文の意味がわかりますか？これは「今日私は仕事がありません。」という意味です。
アルバイトをしている人は「バイトがない」「シフトがない」という意味です。
何かの理由があって仕事に行かなかった場合には「今日学校を休んでいます」「昨日仕事を休みました」と言います。
仕事の予定がなかった場合は「今日は休みです」「昨日は休みでした」と言います。
また連休という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？連休とは連続した休みのことです。例えば、土日がいつも休みの人の場合、月曜日が祝日で休みの時は土曜日と日曜日と月曜日が休みなので三連休になります。

みなさんは次の連休に何をしますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

重要な：じゅうような　important

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.

The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.

Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.

Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.

For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.

These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.

People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.

Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.

Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.
