In questo episodio, ascolteremo cosa succede quando qualcuno decide di iscriversi all'Anagrafe del proprio comune di residenza. Avremo l'opportunità di seguire un dialogo tra una persona che ha bisogno di registrarsi e un impiegato del comune che la guida attraverso i vari passi. Attraverso la loro conversazione, scopriremo quali documenti sono necessari e come si svolge il processo. Ma non si tratta solo di burocrazia; ascolteremo anche come si sviluppa l'interazione tra le due persone, dagli scambi di base fino alla risoluzione di eventuali problemi che possono emergere. Questo episodio è pensato per chi deve affrontare questo passaggio o per chi semplicemente vuole sapere di più su come funziona la registrazione all'anagrafe, il tutto raccontato in modo diretto e con un occhio alla realtà quotidiana degli uffici anagrafe italiani.

最近、中華鍋を買いました。中華鍋とは炒め物を作ることができる鍋のことです。
私は今までフライパンで炒め物をしていましたが、私のフライパンは浅いので、材料がこぼれ落ちることがありました。
でもこの中華鍋を買ってからは、材料がこぼれ落ちなくなり、炒め物を作りやすくなりました。

私の家の近くには中華料理のレストランがありません。
だからいつもYoutubeやインターネットでレシピを探して自分で作っています。
材料があれば、自分で作った方が安いし、おいしいです。
ちなみに日本人は家で中華料理をよく作りますが、中華鍋を持っている人はあまりいないと思
います。
みなさんは家で中華料理を作りますか？
中華鍋を持っていますか？
おすすめの中華料理のレシピはありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。


炒め物：いためもの　stir fly
材料：ざいりょう　ingredient
こぼれ落ちる：spill out of
深い：ふかい　deep
浅い：あさい　shallow
