Testo

Aisha è nata ad Assilah, in Marocco e vive a Torino nel quartiere di San Paolo. Ogni giorno per andare a lavoro in via Nizza prende la metropolitana. Aisha vive in un appartamento con il fidanzato Matteo, che è originario di Catanzaro, il loro bambino Pierpaolo, il gatto Galileo e il cane Michelangelo. Matteo lavora come programmatore per una famosa ditta di computer americana. Aisha lavora come insegnante di matematica nella scuola superiore. Siccome oggi è sabato, Aisha non lavora e insieme a Matteo e al loro figlio, fanno un giro al mercato di Porta Palazzo e al mercato delle pulci chiamato Balon. Poiché Aisha ha già fatto la spesa, allora a Porta Palazzo non compra niente. Al Balon ogni volta che va, c’è davvero molta gente che arriva per trovare delle occasioni  e in effetti oggi ci sono davvero tanti oggetti incredibili e vintage. Oggi Matteo ha comprato un vecchio telefono e anche una macchina fotografica antica degli anni sessanta. Dopo il loro giro al mercato Aisha e Matteo si fermano a mangiare del pesce fritto in un posto a Porta Palazzo e poi vanno al cinema Massimo a vedere un film. A loro gli piace molto il cinema e hanno deciso che il prossimo anno vogliono andare a vedere la mostra del cinema di Venezia. Ma quest’anno non possono ancora andare perché Aisha deve lavorare molto. Ad Aisha nel tempo libero piace leggere dei libri gialli mentre Matteo preferisce ascoltare musica blues. Matteo capisce il francese ma non lo parla. Aisha invece parla l'arabo el’amazigh, il francese e l’italiano. Tutti e due parlano anche inglese.

こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですかー？もう2026年ですね。時がたつのは早い！
今日は冬休みについて話したいと思います。
先週末まで１２日間息子の学校が冬休みでした。
２学期制の学校なので、１２月末から期末試験が２週間弱あり、そのあと冬休みでした。
毎年、若干休みがずれますがだいたい１２月末から１月のはじめくらいに冬休みが始まります。今年の冬休み、直前までノープランでした。だいたいどの休みもノープランなのですが、春に日本に行く予定なので大きな旅行もいけないし、近くのお出かけスポットも行きつくしたので、どうしようかなーという感じでした。
期末試験最終日は息子の友達を連れてショッピングモールにあるプレイグラウンドに行きました。しかし、後半からすんごい疲れた感じで、そのあと友達の家について大好きなゲームで遊ぼうといっても「疲れたし、帰りたい」と言ったので、ちょっと滞在して帰りました。夕食後、かなりしんどそうだったので熱を測ってみると３８．９度。出ました、高熱。だいたい１週間以上の休みのたびに高熱が出ます。なんででしょうね。安心感から出る熱でしょうか。ということで息子は５日間熱で寝込んだりゆっくりしていて、お出かけにはいけませんでした。完全に治った翌日に今月オープンしたイベントに行ってみようと誘ってみたのですが、「混んでそうだから、行きたくない」と断固拒否。結局、一度ピクニックに行っただけでした。息子はかなりのインドア派。最近はどんなに天気が良くても「公園は楽しくないから嫌だ」と言います。でもひさしぶりに行った公園に行くと、どんなに古い公園でも「ここ実は好きな公園なんだ」と言います。それを聞くと毎回面白い。親としては、天気がいいときは、少しでも外で体を動かして、太陽の光を浴びてほしいのですけど、無理やりしたくないことをさせるのもお互いにとって良くないですね。時々バトルになりますから。
今週から学校が始まりました。３週間の春休みまで６週間、頑張るぞー！！

それでは今日のフレーズです。今日のフレーズは「断固拒否」です。強い意志で拒否することを意味します。例えば「息子に新しいアラビア語学習のアプリを提案したが、断固拒否された。」それではまた、マアッサラーマ！

A social media ban for children under 16 has passed the Australian Senate and will soon become a world-first law.

The law will make social media platforms — TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram — liable for fines of up to $33 million for failures to prevent children younger than 16 from holding accounts.

The platforms will have one year to work out how they could implement the ban before penalties come into effect.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the ban is necessary, having previously argued that there is a "clear, causal link" between social media and the harm done to the mental health of young Australians.

Opposition Senator Maria Kovacic shared similar views.

"The core focus of this legislation is simple: It demands that social media companies take reasonable steps to identify and remove underage users from their platforms," she told the Senate.

"This is a responsibility these companies should have been fulfilling long ago, but for too long they have shirked these responsibilities in favor of profit," she added.

But while many support the ban, some argue the legislation could cause more harm than it prevents.

Senator David Shoebridge, from the Greens party, said mental health experts agreed that the ban could dangerously isolate many children who used social media to find support.

"This policy will hurt vulnerable young people the most, especially in regional communities and especially the LGBTQI community, by cutting them off," Shoebridge told the Senate.

Opponents also argue the ban would isolate children, deprive them of the positive aspects of social media, drive them to the dark web, discourage children too young for social media to report harm and reduce incentives for platforms to improve online safety.

While the law is the first of its kind worldwide, other countries have discussed similar measures.
