#1 Рецепт селёдки под шубой

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【考研】的话题。2023年全国硕士研究生招生考试将于2022年12月24日至26日举行。这几年考研人数越来越多，2022年的考研人数达到457万，几乎是2018年的两倍。那么为什么这么多人想考研呢？我们来听听以下的报道。
很多人热衷考研，一个很重要的原因就是他们担心本科学历不足以支撑他们找到满意的工作。而通过考研，可以提升学历，未来可以实现更好的就业。我们继续往下看。顾宇刚刚入职苏州一家科技公司，企业开出了年薪18万的待遇。他告诉记者，这样的待遇都得益于三年前做出的考研决定。
顾宇：“现在社会竞争压力这么大，我也是想提升下自己的学历，然后这样子在步入社会以后也更有竞争力。”
顾宇告诉记者，与其说考研是为了逃避就业，不如说是为了更主动地提升就业质量。一项对12.6万名大学生的调查显示，就业前景好和职业发展需要是本科毕业生选择考研的最主要动机。
《中国大学生就业报告》副主编：“主要的大部分的这个原因呢，还是为了提升自己将来在职场上的一个竞争力、主观上对于自己就业现状的满意程度。”
2020届毕业生薪酬数据显示，硕士研究生及以上学历的起薪为7337元，本科生为5102元，大专生为4562元。但业内人士提示，并不是所有的行业研究生学历都有明显优势。专家表示，尽管目前研究生学历在就业市场上是一块不错的敲门砖，但是本科毕业生还是要根据自身情况以及所学专业特点来做决定。
你会选择考研吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

In the developed world, fewer children now suffer from the disease which arc still a problem in developing countries, but the number of young people around the world with asthma has increased. There arc various reasons for this, but doctors believe that breathing difficulties, are often caused by allergies to cigarette smoking, certain types of food or pollution.

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。

今日もN2です！
〜っぽい、やります。
これは、〜のように感じる、見える、みたいなことを言いたいときに使います。


・このスマートフォンのケースは100均で買ったんですが、安っぽい感じがしなくていいです。

・このラーメンは味噌っぽいですが、普通の味噌とはちょっと違います。

・あの人はよく怒るので子供っぽいと思います。

・ちょっと熱っぽいので、早めに寝ます。

・せっかく誘っていただいたんですけど、明日ご飯に行くのは無理っぽいです。ごめんなさい！

こんな感じですね。
最後の文は、仲良い人に使う時にしてください。
職場だったら、先輩などには使わずに、〜はむずかしいです。すみません。っぽく伝えてください。


っぽいは、カジュアルな表現ですので、友達とか仲の良い人に使ってくださいね。

ビジネスの時にはあまり使いません。

いつも通り、声に出して練習したり、自分で例文を作ってみたりしてくださいね！

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！
