In this episode we will talk about guilty pleasures! What they are, how they come to be, and some examples. A guilty pleasure is defied as 'an activity or piece of media that someone enjoys but would be embarrassed by if other people found out about it'. I hope you enjoy the episode :)

The Adventures of Odyssea: Ch 3.1 - Hadessa

        李白(701- 762), 是中国唐朝时期著名的诗人，他小时候对学习很不感兴趣，经常跑到外边玩儿。一天，李白在河边发现一位老婆婆竟然在磨一根铁棒子。李白觉得很好奇，就走过去问老婆婆在干什么，原来老婆婆的孙女要学绣花，她要给孙女做一根绣花针。
        李白听完以后，像大部分孩子一样哈哈大笑，因为他认为把铁棒子磨成绣花针太浪费时间了，等老婆婆磨好了，她孙女可能也变成老婆婆了。可是，老婆婆自信地告诉他：“只要功夫深，铁杆磨成针。”
        听完老婆婆的回答，李白突然明白了一个道理：无论做什么事情，只要坚持就可能成功。从此，李白就开始努力学习、积累知识，最终成为一名伟大的诗人。

        看完这个谚语故事，你知道努力和坚持对成功有多么重要了吧？

功夫 [gōng fu] workmanship; skill
铁杵磨成针[tiě chǔ mó chénɡ zhēn]
an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle — perseverance will prevail
老婆婆[lǎo po pó] granny(used by children in addressing an old woman)
绣花[xiù huā]embroider; do embroidery


Li Bai (701- 762) was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty of China. When he was young, Li Bai was not interested in learning at all, and he often went out playing. One day, Li Bai saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle by the river. He felt so curious that he went over and asked the old woman what she was doing . It turned out that she was making a needle for her granddaughter to learn embroidery. 
Having heard this, Li Bai laughed as most kids would do, because he thought it was a waste of time to grind an iron pestle into a needle and that by the day the needle was made, her granddaughter would have turned into an old woman herself. However, the old woman told him with confidence: "As long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground down to a needle." 
Suddenly Li Bai realized that perseverance would help one succeed in everything. From then on, Li Bai began to study hard and accumulate knowledge. He finally became a great poet! 
After reading this story, you must have learned how important hard work and perseverance are to success.

Saber x conhecer 

こんにちは、Atsushiです。
今日の天気は、晴れたり、曇ったり。時々雨が降っています。気温は25℃。

今日は映画について話します。
みなさんは映画は好きですか？
私はとても好きです！


映画にはいろんなジャンルがありますね、

アクション
アドベンチャー
アニメ
伝記
コメディ
犯罪
ドキュメンタリー
ドラマ
ファミリー
ファンタジー
歴史
ホラー
音楽、ミュージカル
ミステリー
ロマンス
SF 
短編
スポーツ
スリラー
戦争

みなさんはどんなジャンルが好きですか？
私は、SFやドラマ、歴史が好きです。
反対に、ホラーは好きではありません。

日本では、映画館で見るためには、通常大人は¥1,800かかります。ですが、ファーストデイといって、毎月1日は、誰でも1,200円で見ることができたり、レイトショーといって、21:00以降などの上映を対象に割引もあります。

個人的には、最近は自宅でNetflixで映画を見ることが多くなりました。

私が最近好きな映画を3つあげます。
インターステラー。これはSFの映画です。
ミッションインポッシブル。これはアクションですね。
そして、シェフ。これはドラマ？コメディ？かな。
それぞれおもしろいです。

興味があれば、見てみてください。

みなさんはどんな映画が好きですか？
