Intentional living is a way of living your life. It forces you to get to know yourself and identify what it is that is important to you. You decide how you want to live and what you want to cut out of your life. It forces you to prioritise what you want and live each day in alignment with these priorities. In today’s world we are stressed, overstressed, and anxious all the time and it’s no surprise that intentional living is becoming increasingly popular. But what does it mean to live intentionally?

Chinese story:
《漂亮的学校大门》
“我说不来，又叫我来，这个大门又旧又烂，我不想在这里念书！”一位女学生在大学门口大声地说。

在中国，学生很多，但是大学却不多，所以要考上一所大学不是一件容易的事。这位年轻的女学生非常努力地考上大学，难道只是希望学校有一个漂亮的大门？

大部分的学生都喜欢学校有一个漂亮的大门，当自己的爸爸、妈妈，或者朋友来参观的时候，他才会觉得有面子。

大部分中国的大学都希望有一个漂亮的大门，因为这是一个学校的形象。大学是这样，一般的中学、小学也是这样的。

有漂亮的校门是很好的事，但是如果学生只是因为学校没有漂亮的大门，就不想读大学，这就变成了一件奇怪的事。


English translation:
The beautiful school main gate

I said I don’t want to come. Why you asked me to come here? The main gate of this school is old yet rotten. I don’t want to study here.” A female student shouted in front of a university’s main entrance.
In China, students are too many. But universities are few. Getting an admission to a university is a tough work. This young female student must’ve studied very hard to gain approval for a place. Is it only for a beautiful school main gate?
Many students want their school to have a beautiful main gate. So that when their parents or friends come to visit them, they would feel proud of themselves.
In fact, most universities in mainland China definitely want to have a beautiful main gate which stands for the image of a school. Universities want that, and general high schools and elementary schools want that as well.
It is certainly a good thing to have a great-looking main gate. But if a student doesn’t want to go to a university simply depends on the outward appearance of main gate, this is really a weird thing.

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。
今日は、ウェルカムSuicaについて、お話します。

まず、Suicaとは、ICカードのことです。
お金をチャージすることができます。

Suicaでバスや電車に、乗ることができます。

コンビニやスーパーで、お金を払(はら)うこともできます。

SuicaはJRがつくっていますが、
日本のどの電車でも、使うことができます。

カードをつくるときは、500円のデポジットが必要(ひつよう)です。


では、ウェルカムSuicaとは何でしょうか？

これは、ふつうのSuicaとちがうところが、3つあります。

まず、一つ目(ひとつめ)。

ウェルカムSuicaは、
500円のデポジットが必要(ひつよう)ありません。

お金をかけずに、カードをつくることができます。
これは旅行をするとき、とてもいいですね。

二つ目(ふたつめ)は、買うことができる場所は決まっています。

ふつうのSuicaは駅で買うことができます。

ウェルカムSuicaは、空港で買うことができます。

今は、東京の、
羽田空港(はねだくうこう)と
成田空港(なりたくうこう)だけです。

大阪や福岡では買うことができません。

実は、いまカードが足りていません。

カードがとても少ないです。

なので、買うことができる場所が、
空港だけ、なんですね。

これはちょっと悲(かな)しいですね。

3つ目は、使うことができるのは、28日間だけです。

Suicaには、このような期限はありません。
ずっと使うことができます。

ウェルカムSuicaは28日間だけです。
でも、けっこう長いですね。

ウェルカムSuicaは、
ふつうのSuicaとデザインがちがいます。

桜がとてもすてきなデザインです。

日本に旅行に来るときは、
ウェルカムSuica、
ぜひ、しらべてみて下さい。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。

🗣️ Diálogo: Miedo a Hablar en Inglés

Carlos: Sofía, tenemos que hablar en inglés en esta reunión… ¡y estoy muerto de miedo!

Sofía: ¡Yo también! ¿Y si me equivoco y todos se ríen?

Carlos: Exactamente, siento que mi pronunciación es terrible.

Sofía: ¡Y yo olvido palabras cuando me pongo nerviosa!

Carlos: ¿Y si nos quedamos callados? Mejor dejamos que los demás hablen.

Sofía: No, Carlos. Vinimos aquí para practicar. No podemos huir siempre.

Carlos: Lo sé, pero me siento tan inseguro…

Sofía: Piensa en esto: nadie espera que seamos perfectos.

Carlos: ¿Y si no me entienden?

Sofía: Si hablas despacio y con calma, seguro te entienden.

Carlos: Tal vez… pero me cuesta.

Sofía: A mí también, pero si no lo intentamos, nunca mejoraremos.

Carlos: Ok, ¿qué tal si nos apoyamos? Si uno se bloquea, el otro ayuda.

Sofía: ¡Me parece genial! Así no nos sentimos solos.

Carlos: ¿Y si nos equivocamos?

Sofía: ¡No pasa nada! Lo importante es intentarlo.

Carlos: Tienes razón… ¡vamos a hacerlo!

Sofía: ¡Sí! Y después, nos merecemos un café por el esfuerzo.

Carlos: ¡Trato hecho!
