TALK or SPEAK

RESTARE IN FORMA: perché dopo una certa età... sono cavoli amari!

In questo episodio parliamo di un argomento che riguarda moltissime donne: il rapporto con il nostro corpo, il peso e l'alimentazione.

Restare in forma non significa inseguire la perfezione o vivere a dieta, ma capire che, soprattutto con il passare degli anni, il nostro corpo cambia e dobbiamo imparare a prendercene cura.

Parleremo di alimentazione, metabolismo, movimento e di quelle piccole abitudini che spesso sottovalutiamo. Perché diciamocelo: mangiare senza pensarci troppo oggi potrebbe presentarci il conto domani.

E allora sì, ogni tanto bisogna fare attenzione a quello che mettiamo nel piatto... perché altrimenti sono davvero cavoli amari!

¡LA PRIMAVERA LA SANGRE ALTERA!

今日は午前中仕事が1時間しかなかったので、ほぼ午前休みでした。
というわけで、近所にある広島焼きのお店に歩いて行ってきました！
ここ数日はあまり天気が良くなくて、雨が降りそうで降らない天気が続いています。
空もちょっとどんよりしていますね(´;ω;｀)

私が住んでいる町は大きな大学があるので、価格が安くておいしい、ボリューム満点のメニューがたくさんあるレストランが多いんです。
実は広島焼きのレストランを神奈川で見かけることはあまりないんですが、ここは美味しくて本場の味だということで定評があります。Googleレビューもとても良いです。
家族も大好きなお店でなので、年に数回は必ず行きます。
お持ち帰りもできますよ！

店内で焼いた広島焼きを目の前の鉄板の上にのせてくれます。
そこからヘラを使って切り分けて自分のお皿に盛りつけます。
最後にソース、マヨネーズ、紅ショウガをお好みで好きなだけかけます。
私はソースもマヨネーズも紅ショウガも大好きなのでたくさんかけます。
私は関東の人間なので広島焼きについてあまりうまく説明できないので、広島焼きの特徴を調べてみました。

広島焼きは、関西のお好み焼きのように具と生地を混ぜ合わせてから焼くのとは違い、上に具をのせて層を作っていく「重ね焼き」が特徴だそうです。 具体的には小麦粉の生地を薄くのばし、キャベツや豚肉、焼きそばなどを山盛りにし、薄く焼いた卵などを重ねて蒸し焼きにしたもので、皮が薄くて、キャベツなどの野菜がたっぷりなので、 お好み焼きやもんじゃ焼きと比べても、ヘルシーなんだそうです。

ミニサイズを注文しましたが、キャベツが多めでかなりお腹いっぱいになりました！

その後、少しスーパーに買い物に行きました。
実は前の日も同じスーパーに買い物に行ったのであまり買うものがなかったのでぶらぶらしながら、魚コーナーやお菓子コーナーを見ていました。すると、『買えば買うほど安さがわかります』という面白いフレーズを見かけました。この意味が分かりますか？JLPT N3レベルの文法ですよ！分かった方は是非コメントしてくださいね！

HSK 3 Lesson 13 Text 4


Think of a meeting and you might immediately imagine a large table with lots of chairs and people wearing suits.

Or perhaps you imagine a computer screen filled with your colleagues' faces.

But have you ever thought about having a meeting while going for a walk? Many of us already take calls while we're walking, but it's said that walking meetings are becoming more popular too.

Those who like them say it's good to get out of the formal office environment.

Robert Mitson from meeting management company Sherpany says talking to someone when you're walking side-by-side can create a more relaxed atmosphere.

In a small walking group, colleagues can also move from person to person more easily to have one-on-one chats — something that may not be so easy to do in an office or online.

Research has also found that walking can make you more creative, with experts saying that getting moving is a good way to think of new ideas.

And of course, walking is good for our bodies. So a walking meeting lets us get some exercise at the same time as working.

However, walking meetings may not be right for everyone — for example, people who find it difficult to walk, or if someone in the group needs to use a computer.

Others say they find it difficult to focus when they're out for a walk.

And if companies are going to try walking meetings, experts say it's a good idea to choose a quiet place with plenty of space.
