みんなは田舎と都会、どっちが好き？
おれはねぇ、けっこうどっちも好きなんだけど、どっちかっていうと田舎の方が好きなんだよなぁ。
なんか小さい頃は田舎って正直つまんないなぁって思ってたんだけど、大人になってからは都会で人が多すぎるとちょっとストレスになっちゃうからあんまり都会は好きじゃなくなっちゃったわ。
まぁいま住んでるとこみたいに田舎過ぎても、そんなに好きじゃないんだけどね。
でも、どっちかっていうと田舎の方が好きだな。
今日も聞いてくれてありがとう！

Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

田舎派？都会派？

Narrator: Malala Yousafzai was born in 1997 in the Swat Valley in northern Pakistan. Her father was a social activist and educator, and he named his daughter after a female hero who led the Afghan people to victory in an 1880 battle against the British.

Narrator: Malala attended the girls’ school that her father had founded, but when the Swat Valley came under the control of the Taliban in 2007, the family, including her two younger brothers, had to leave. The Taliban is a political and religious group that follows a strict form of Islam. They do not believe that girls should attend a school or that women should play an active part in society. Upon the family’s return in 2008, Malala gave her first public speech, called “How dare the Taliban to take away my basic right to an education?” As the Taliban continued with their violent campaign of closing and destroying girls’ schools, Malala started to blog for the BBC under a different name. During the next few years, she made two documentaries with a US filmmaker about the local situation and met with United Nations workers. Her activism attracted global attention, including a nomination from South African archbishop Desmond Tutu for the International Children’s Peace Prize.

Narrator: On the ninth of October 2012, Malala was traveling home from school when a Taliban gunman got onto her bus and asked, “Who is Malala?” She was shot in the head and had to be transferred to the UK for medical care. She and her family stayed in that country with relatives, and she continued her studies thereafter she got better. She did not visit Pakistan again until 2018.

Narrator: The Taliban’s violent actions led to a new international focus on and action for girls’ educational rights, and Malala’s work was right at the heart of these efforts. In 2013, on her sixteenth birthday, she gave a speech at the United Nations in New York. She was also named one of Time magazine’s most influential people of the year and published her life...

Baffling Lingo

Descriptions

During the summers not too long ago, when politicians were on vacation and schools were closed, news in the UK often featured stories about things like cats in trees and UFOs, because there wasn't much else to report.

It was called "silly season" in the UK — of course there was other news, but not the usual daily politics, so there was more time for happier stories.

But some may feel like there isn't time for silly season these days.

And according to a recent study, thinking about the news is making British people anxious, something that's causing some of them to avoid engaging with it.

It also means they're less likely to engage with politics, the study suggests.

Researchers spoke to 43 people in the UK who said they never or rarely engage with professionally made news, whether that's on television, in newspapers or online.

The research was published in September 2022, but the interviews took place between November 2016 and March 2017, not long after the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU).

However, for most, it may not have been leaving the EU that caused them to avoid the news. Many reported feeling anxious or afraid when thinking about news stories featuring crime, war or terrorism.

People did think that they should know a little bit about global and national events, but this wasn't always enough to make them follow the news.

Many felt they could not understand the country's politics, or that political news was not relevant to them.

For politicians themselves, this could be a challenge, suggests the study — trying to communicate with those who avoid the news.

'It Makes Us Anxious': Why Some People Avoid the News



こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は25℃。少し涼しいですね。

地域によっては結構大雨になっている場所もあります。
少し心配です。


今日は関西弁についてもう少し話します。
前回、1つ間違えて話していたことがありました。
イントネーションと話していましたが、アクセントの間違いでした。

イントネーションとは、文全体の音の高低のことで、
アクセントとは、単語の高低のことを言います。

間違えてすみませんでした！



では、今日は関西弁のおもしろい例文があるので、それを紹介します！

ちゃうちゃうちゃうんちゃう？

わかりますか？もう1度言いますね、

ちゃうちゃうちゃうんちゃう？

解説しますね。
ちゃうちゃうは犬の種類の名前ですね。
ちゃうはちがう、という動詞です。

なので、標準語だと、
チャウチャウ犬と違うんじゃない？
というような意味になります。

もう1度言います。

ちゃうちゃうちゃうんちゃう？

関西弁はとても個性的で、おもしろいと思いますので、興味のある方はいろいろ調べてみてください。


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
