EPISODIO 002. DELE B1. TAREA 1 HABLANDO SOBRE EL MEDIO AMBIENTE. 

On January 1, music magazine Rolling Stone released its list of "The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time," including famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, and many more.

Rolling Stone first released a list of its "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008, and has added 100 more artists for 2023.

Aretha Franklin is again number one on the list, with Rolling Stone calling her singing "the most magnificent sound" to ever come out of America.

Next is Whitney Houston at number two, while soul singer Sam Cooke is number three. Jazz singer Billie Holiday is fourth, while pop star Mariah Carey is fifth.



However, some music fans are unhappy that their favorite artists are very low on the list, or aren't included at all.

For example, some Twitter users are angry that Michael Jackson is number 86, while Beyoncé is in the top 10.

Rolling Stone seemed to expect mixed reactions, writing that people should remember that this is the "Greatest Singers" list, not the "Greatest Voices" list.

The magazine said it was looking at things like originality, how many songs someone made and how much they changed music, not just how well they could sing.

Many Twitter users are also angry that Céline Dion was not included on the list — with more than one calling it "a crime against humanity."

The Canadian singer is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with many Grammy awards and even several Oscars for her songs from films, including Titanic and Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna and Justin Bieber are also not on the list, while Ariana Grande and Bob Dylan are.

Rolling Stone Names '200 Greatest Singers of All Time'

Once again, the Mediterranean diet has been named the world's best by US News & World Report.

The diet, which is eaten across the world but is based on foods and recipes from countries around the Mediterranean Sea, has now been at the top of the list for six years.

Its focus on fruit, vegetables, olive oil and fish has helped the Mediterranean diet to the top, according to US News.

A team of experts looked at 24 different diets, putting them in order from best to worst.

There were also a number of different category winners.

The Mediterranean diet was chosen as the best plant-based diet, and, along with the flexitarian diet, it tied as the best for families. It also tied with the DASH diet as the best for healthy bones.

The flexitarian diet encourages people to eat a vegetarian diet most of the time, but still allows some meat.

The DASH diet is meant to help people with high blood pressure. It focuses on fruit, vegetables and whole grains, as well as low-fat products.

The flexitarian and DASH diets also tied for second place on the overall list.

The Mediterranean diet is not exactly the same across all Mediterranean countries, but these countries do share the same basic eating principles.

This low-fat way of eating — which also includes beans and grains, and not much red meat or butter — has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and other health problems.

Speaking to CNN, Gretel Schueller from US News said we can all use these ideas to eat a Mediterranean diet wherever we are in the world.




Mediterranean Diet Named World's Best — Again

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、記憶について。

みなさんは
めっちゃ昔のことでも覚えていることはありますか？

僕は基本的に記憶力が弱いと思うので、あんまり覚えられない方なんですけど、こんな僕が謎にとても良く覚えていることがあります。

それは、音楽です。
イントロ、曲のはじまりを聞いて、1、2秒だけで、曲がわかります。ただし、これは条件があります。僕がラジオを良く聴いていた時の音楽に限ります。15才ー25才ぐらいまで、FMラジオで良くかかっていた、日本の音楽に限ります。これは、本当です。ずっと覚えているわけではないんですが、1、2秒その音楽を聴いただけで、誰の曲か、さらには曲名も思い出せることもあります。自分でもおどろきますが、この記憶はなくならないと思います。

なんの話をしたいか、ということなんですけど、語学の勉強って、結構記憶力も重要なポイントになりますよね。でも覚えるのはとても大変ですね。

それで、記憶力のことを時々考えます。
で、この僕の音楽の謎の記憶力から考えられることは、覚えようとしないことも大切なのかなと思います。僕は音楽を覚えようとした訳ではなくて、ラジオで良くかかっていたから聴く回数が多くなって、自然と覚えたんだと思います。

だから、毎日見たり聴いたりすることが大切なんだと思います。

脳の仕組みを調べていた時に知ったことの1つですが、脳ははじめは全然覚えようとしないですが、毎日同じ情報があると、それを大切だと認識するそうです。要は脳をだます、ということですね。脳に必要な情報だと認識させることができれば、自然と覚える、かもしれないです。

僕は今も決して記憶力は良くないですが、この自分の音楽の謎の記憶力と、毎日ふれる情報は必要だと認識する、という脳の特性を利用して、記憶に定着させようと実験しているところです。


ということで、今回は記憶について、の話でした。
みなさんには、ずっと覚えている記憶は何かありますか？
それはなぜ残っていると思いますか？

ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

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！
