IELTS Part 2 on Describing a Memorable Journey, Holiday, Place, or Experience

Le ballon rond rassemble des millions de personnes à travers le monde, c'est aussi le sport le plus populaire en France. Mais comme beaucoup de français(es) je m'intéresse à beaucoup de disciplines, c'est toujours plus facile de commenter depuis son canapé. Et toi, quel le sport national dans ton pays ?

Un pequeño viaje a Europa.

Jimmy è un signore inglese di Bristol. Abita in Italia, a Venezia, da pochi mesi. Jimmy ha lavorato per tanti anni come panettiere. Un giorno ha scoperto che un lontano parente gli ha lasciato in eredità cinque milioni di euro. Quindi Jimmy ha chiuso la panetteria, ha studiato l’italiano e poi è andato a vivere in Italia.
Adesso la sua vita è molto semplice ma felice: tutte le mattine Jimmy si sveglia presto e va a fare una passeggiata per le strade di Venezia. Di solito mangia un cornetto e beve un cappuccino al suo bar preferito, poi si siede a leggere il giornale fuori se c’è bel tempo o dentro se il tempo è brutto.
Mentre le persone hanno fretta perché devono iniziare a lavorare, Jimmy è calmo e tranquillo perché ha tutto il tempo del mondo.
Passa le mattine a leggere in biblioteca - a Venezia ci sono molte biblioteche, alcune civiche e altre universitarie - e a studiare la lingua italiana.
Dopo pranzo passeggia oppure voga una gondola. A volte visita le altre isole della laguna veneziana. Spesso visita i musei perché ama l’arte. Raramente passa un’intera giornata a casa e non cena mai da solo.
Lavorare come: Maria lavora come insegnante di italiano (Maria è insegnante di italiano), Lucrezia lavora come astronauta (Lucrezia è astronauta).
Lasciare in eredità: Il nonno ha lasciato in eredità ai suoi nipoti la casa al mare.
Il tempo è bello/il tempo è brutto: Oggi il tempo è bello, possiamo andare al mare. Puoi anche dire: c’è bel tempo/c’è brutto tempo. Esempio: domenica prossima c’è brutto tempo, staremo a casa tutto il giorno. Puoi anche dire “fa bello/fa brutto”: Com’è oggi il tempo a Milano? Oggi fa bello.
Avere fretta: Le persone la mattina hanno sempre molta fretta perché devono correre al lavoro.
Abitare in Italia da: Studio italiano da due settimane. Sono sposata da cinque anni.
Lavorare per tanti anni: Ho lavorato in Cina per due anni. Ogni giorno studio italiano per due ore.

La giornata di Jimmy

“ I actually just finished a wonderful engrossing book just last week, which I couldn’t put down for a moment, and read from cover to cover in just two days. The book was an autobiography on a very famous musician and member of one of the most famous rock bands in history, the Rolling stones….

 

It was one of my friends who is also interested in music recommended the book to me, as he knew I am a huge fan of the Rolling Stones. That evening I checked out reviews for the book online and everyone was giving it a 5 star rating, so it was off to the bookshop for me to pick up a copy as quickly as I could. 

 

The book basically tells the life story of a music legend from his time growing up as a young child in England in the 1950s to becoming a rock legend, and a founding member of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. It really gave an incredible insight into his life, from a very humble beginning to becoming a megastar. It certainly was not heavy reading, and the author’s sense of humour actually made it light reading.

 

The reasons I really loved this book so much apart from being a lifetime fan of the central character, were firstly…. It gave me an amazing insight into the real life of a rockstar, which was actually very thought provoking…….I also found it very inspiring and uplifting….to discover how this young boy from a very normal background believed in his dreams, and stopped at nothing to achieve them….and of course the crazy journey of a rock star along the way…So….yes…..It really was one of those books that i just couldn’t put down, and would have no hesitation in recommending  to anyone.

こんばんは！
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。

さて、今日は、夏の風物詩、ふうぶつし、について話します。

風物詩とは、その季節を感じるもの、です。
この季節といえばこれ、という感じです。

まぁ、だいたいは夏の風物詩、花火の話をする時に使います。

日常生活の会話で使うわけではないですが、ニュースやテレビなどで聞くと思います。

それで、あらためて、夏の風物詩、といえば、ほとんどの人は花火、と言うと思います。

それぐらい、日本人は夏の花火大会や祭りが好きです。

ぼくは7月の終わりに、北海道から地元の大阪へ引越をしました。大阪に久しぶりに戻ってきて、日本語教師の仲間と一緒にご飯を食べて、いろんな話をしました。

その時に、花火大会の話になり、改めて日本人にとって、夏の花火大会は生活の一部になっているなぁ、と感じました。



それで少しだけ花火大会の始まりについて調べてみました。

打ち上げ花火のはじまりは、江戸時代だそうです。
1733年に隅田川で行われた水神祭がそのはじまりです。

その当時、飢饉・疫病が流行り、たくさんの人が亡くなっていました。

その慰霊のために祭がひらかれ、打ち上げ花火があげられました。

もとはそういった、暗い気持ちを取り払う目的から始まった花火は、夏の川開きなどの行事と結びつき、今は夏を楽しむ1番の行事になっているようです。

特に8月は毎週末、いろんな場所で、たくさんの花火大会があります。夏の夜に少しだけ涼しさを感じながら、(いや、ぜったい暑いですが、楽しめるものとして定着しました。

今この時期に日本に旅行に来ている方や、日本で生活を始めた方は、ぜひぜひ、旅行先や住んでいる場所の花火大会を探して行ってみてくださいね！

もちろん、人はたくさんいますし、電車もめっちゃ混みますので、気をつけて行ってくださいね！

北海道から大阪に帰ってきて、夏を感じたので、今回はこんなトピックにしました。


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！
