Episode 6: Talking About the Weather

         悬梁xuan2 liang2--------东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。开始由于知识浅薄得不到重用，连家里人都看不起他，使他大受刺激，下决心认真钻研，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样就会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。这就是孙敬“悬梁”的故事。

        刺骨ci4gu3--------战国时期，有一个人名叫苏秦，也是出名的政治家。在年轻时，由于学问不多不深，曾到好多地方做事，都不受重视。回家后，家人对他也很冷淡，瞧不起他。这对他的刺激很大。所以，他下定决心，发奋读书。他常常读书到深夜，很疲倦，常打盹，直想睡觉。于是他想出了一个方法，准备一把锥子，一打瞌睡，就用锥子往自己的大腿上刺一下。这样，猛然间感到疼痛，使自己清醒起来，再坚持读书。这就是苏秦“刺股”的故事。

悬梁刺股---孙敬/苏秦

Anita: OK, so we’ve got three possibilities for the advertisement we will be using here and I want to talk about each of them with you and get your point of view. So first of all, here’s number one. What do you think, Gerry?
Gerry: Oh, that’s interesting! I like the colors. They’re very warm. I didn’t think a cartoon would work very well, but I think this is quite fun. Tina, what do you think?
Tina: Personally, I don’t think it works. We’re really aiming at customers who are 20 and older. I think it might look a little young for them.
Brett: I’d agree with Tina, I’m not very keen on it. These will be used in magazines and on trains and buses. I don’t think it will really stand out. It’s very nice to look at, but I don’t think it will really get anyone’s attention.
Gerry: OK. I see what you mean, Brett. Well, let’s have a look at the others then. Well, I think it’s great, but I may revise my opinion when I see the others.
Anita: I will say that this one is cheaper than the other two. Right, then. Here’s number two.
Brett: Oh, I like that much more. It’s really creative. That’s a beautiful photograph and the name of the product is really clear.
Tina: I’m not sure about the model they used. She’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But she looks a bit unhappy. I don’t think that gives the right message.
Gerry: I like it, but I don’t think I feel strongly about it. I’m sure we could get them to find an older model if we wanted. It just seems very serious compared to the last one and I’m not sure I like it as much.
Anita: Yes, although I should point out that if we do that, it will add to the cost of the advertising. Also, I don’t know if this will change anyone’s mind, but the cost of using a photograph for the advert will be far higher than using a cartoon. About 40% more altogether which will leave us less to use for future advertising.
Brett: Well, I think this would work really well. If we need to change the model, we can do that. But I think it’s really exciting to look

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。

きのうは、東京にひっこしをする人が増(ふ)えている話をしました。

日本で一番(いちばん)、人口が多いのは、東京ですね。

人口(じんこう)とは、人の数のことです。

たとえば、

"日本の人口は約1億人(いちおくにん)です。"

"人口が多い国は、インド、中国、アメリカなどです。"

"残念(ざんねん)なことに、日本の人口は減(へ)っています。"

といいます。

日本で1番人口が多いのは東京都です。

2番目は、神奈川県です。

神奈川県(かながわけん)は、横浜市(よこはまし)や鎌倉市(かまくらし)があるところですね。

箱根温泉(はこねおんせん)も、とても有名です。

日本の人口、3番目の都市(とし)はどこでしょうか？

3番目は大阪府(おおさかふ)です。

あなたの国の人口はどのくらいですか？

人口はふえていますか？
それとも、へっていますか？

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！

In this episode of Streetwise English Podcast, I talk about why I like studying languages on italki. My teacher profile: https://italki.com/teacher/1947582 Thanks for listening! 
Welcome my friends to another episode of the Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host Carl and Italki American English tutor. So today I want to talk to you about… This is the last day of January of the New Year 2023. And I just had a problem this morning. I was trying to download some software, I was trying to install software on my computer and I ran out of internal storage. And so I had my computer failed to install the software. And, I wanted to make the analogy of the human brain. And the computer. So a lot of times we feel stressed out and we have lots of things going on. In our mind our mind is completely full, feels like it's running without any extra storage space.
