美国上周初请失业金人数增幅超过预期，但这可能并不意味着就业市场状况出现实质性转变。目前就业市场依然紧张。鉴于劳动力市场的动荡，雇主可能不愿裁员，因为雇主仍关注员工的留任问题。总体而言，未来几周的不确定性将很大，因为与假日相关的典型季节性模式与依然异常紧张的劳动力市场相冲突。科技行业的裁员人数有所增加，比如推特、亚马逊和Meta。然而，预计这不会对劳动力市场和整体经济造成重大拖累

The "th" sound is the hardest sound for everybody. You need to give it special attention.

Tongue twisters with “th”
		The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
		
		I thought a thought. But the thought I thought Wasn’t the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought, Had been the thought I thought, I wouldn’t have thought I thought.
		
		Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug – although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty-year-old thug thought of that morning.
		
		Thirty-three thousand feathers on a thrushes throat.

げんき、第２課57ページ、かいわより。 リスニングとリーディングのれんしゅうです。私が言ったあと、リピートしてください。 2かいめは少しはやいです。 
It‘s for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんき２, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time. 
这是为了你的听力和阅读练习。 即使你有课本，也不要读　げんき２、跟着我重复。 我第二次说得快一点。 
もしあなたが中級（ちゅうきゅう）でも、いいれんしゅうになると思います。 
It should still be good practice even if you are an intermidiate-level student. 
即使您是 N4 或以上级别的学生也很有用

げんき2課

Mascotte, la marmotte
Pendant tout l'hiver, bien au chaud au fond de son terrier, que fait Mascotte la marmotte ?
Elle dort... Elle a accroché une pancarte à l’entrée: Ne pas déranger, j’attends le printemps !
Un jour, Oscar, le lézard, a voulu lui faire une farce, il est entré dans le terrier et a crié :
- Réveille-toi, Mascotte, c'est le printemps !
On était en plein hiver, il y avait même de la neige ! Mascotte, encore tout endormie, a fait quelques pas, mais, quand elle a senti le froid, elle est repartie à toute vitesse, pas contente du tout.
Oscar riait beaucoup.
- Quand tu dormiras au soleil, j’irai te tirer par la queue, a-t-elle promis. Puis elle s’est rendormie en rêvant à l'été et aux fleurs qui recouvrent la montagne.

Histoire 22 - Mascotte, la marmotte

Listen to me reading a short news article as part of my Conversational English course.

News article: would it be wrong to eradicate mosquitoes? 

Love is blind is a #mustwatch dating show as it shows an entertaining way of finding love, by having 30 singles date each other for up to 10 days without ever seeing each other.  Then, it's up to them whether they choose to get engaged if they believe that they have found the love of their life or go back home. Only after getting engaged do they actually get to meet each other. I do think it's a crazy way of searching for love. 

Please share your thoughts about this show in the comments section. I hope you enjoy watching the show :)
