TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

Ziua de naștere a lui Matei: cum am sărbătorit-o și ce cadouri a primit? 

!!!! Îți recomand să citești transcriptul abia după ce ai ascultat și ai rezolvat quizul! 
TRANSCRIPT: 
Astăzi a fost ziua de naștere a lui Matei. El este născut pe 05.mai.2000. A împlinit 23 de ani. M-am gândit foarte mult timp ce cadou ar fi potrivit pentru el și cum ne-am apucat recent să învățăm tenis am ales să îi cumpăr o rachetă. M-am documentat ce rachetă s-ar potrivi cu stilul lui de joc și cu experiența și am ales una de la Wilson, verde. Pentru a sărbători am invitat prietenii în oraș, la un bowling, iar după la noi acasă unde am comandat o pizza. A fost frumos: am râs, am spus, am povestit. Când i-am cântat ,,La mulți ani” Matei s-a emoționat. Am obervat ca toți ne emoționăm atunci când ni se cântă ,,La mulți ani”. Este ceva special, simți că toți oamenii care s-au strâns alături de tine îți celebrează viața și că se bucură că te-au întâlnit.

La vie de 2023, celle de 2024

Today I'm going to talk about my trip in Kyoto No.3. We visited Mr. Kotouge kentarou, a professional potter of Tanzangama. This is located in Uji, Kyoto. Mr.Kotouge taught how to make cups.  I really enjoyed making some cups. Mr.Kotouge said, "work express the person's character who make it. Oh no!  Everybody who saw my work can know my character!

陶芸体験～丹山窯～

京都旅行二日目　この日は　京都の宇治にある丹山窯を訪れました。
ここで、小峠賢太郎氏から　「手びねり」という方法で　お茶碗の作り方を教えてもらいました。
小峠賢太郎さんは　代々続く丹山窯の窯元（かまもと）の家に長男として生まれ、家業を継いでいらっしゃいます。そんなプロの方から、直々に　お茶碗づくりを教えてもらったんです。

この日、私たちは、小峠さんが作品作りに使う　とてもよい粘土を　使わせてもらいました。
それは、黄土色の滑らかな土で、やわらかく、手で簡単にちぎることができました。
まず、その粘土で手のひらより小さい丸を作ります。それを　くるくる回る円盤の真ん中に置きます。
円盤の上で　平たく伸ばすと　それが　茶碗の底になります。
つぎに　適当な大きさにちぎった粘土を　板の上で転がしながら　細い棒のように伸ばします。
その棒状というか　ひも状になった粘土を　さっきの底になる円のふちに　置いていきます。
くるくると置いていくと、コップの形になります。置いただけではだめなので、隙間をなくすように、
粘土を手で伸ばしながら、引っ付けていきます。
それから、自分の好きな形にしていきます。
私は、日本酒を飲むときに使う「おちょこ」作りに挑戦しました。ほかの人たちは、花瓶や水差し、抹茶茶碗など　それぞれ　好きなものを作ろうとしていました。
小峠氏が、「この作業は　その人の性格がでるんですよ」とおっしゃったんですが、その通りでした。
私のおちょこは、ガタガタで、表面がでこぼこしています。でも、友人が作ったものは　形がとてもきれいで、凸凹したところが全然ありませんでした。雑な性格な私と几帳面でなんでも丁寧にする友人の性格が、作ったお茶碗にしっかりと表れていました。
形がだいたいできたら、少し乾かします。その間に昼食です。食事の内容については、また次回紹介します。
昼食後、乾いた作品の形をさらに仕上げていきます。へらややすりを使って削って、形をととのえ、模様や文字を掘ります。
私たちが体験する作業はここまでです。
このあと、色を付ける絵付けやうわぐすりをつける作業をプロの方にしていただいて、焼き上げてもらいます。
私たちが自分の作品を受け取るのは２か月後です。　とても楽しみです。

それから、もう一つ。小峠氏がお茶碗を焼く「登り窯」を見せてもらいました。
この登り窯人が３，４人は入れるぐらいの部屋が、階段状に下から上に７つぐらい並んでいました。
一番下にあるのが火を燃やす部屋で、下から上に火の熱が上がるようになっているそうです。
この窯に火を入れるのは１年に１回だけだと言っていました。
テレビとかでは見たことがあったけど、実際に本物の窯を見るのはこれが初めてだったので、
その大きさと原始的なやり方にとても驚きました。

茶碗づくりは　とても　楽しかったです。
みなさんも、機会があったら　ぜひ　茶碗づくりに挑戦してみてください。
