ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

EP1: JOB INTERVIEWS 

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

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。


今日は12/26ですね。
12/26をboxing dayということをはじめて知りました。

日本ではそのような日はないです。

Wikipediaで調べたことをもとに日本語で話しますね。

元々は、教会が貧しい人たちのために寄付を募り、箱に入れられたクリスマスプレゼントを贈る日だったことから"Boxing Day"と呼ばれる。

それから、クリスマスも働かないといけなかった使用人などに翌日休みを与えた。その時、主人が箱に贈り物を入れて彼らに配った。

他、クリスマスにはたらいている郵便配達員にも、ねぎらいの意を込めて26日に箱入りのプレゼント（Christmas box）をする。


こんな日があるんですね。
全然知らなかったです。

この話は一般的には、キリスト教にゆかりのある国が行うことが多いみたいです。


みなさんの国ではどうですか？
今日は何か特別なことがありますか？

そんな話をオンラインレッスンでしましょう！
お待ちしています！

ということで、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！
