EPISODE 2: LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

How do you like your eggs in your country? Do you prefer them sunny-side up? Or maybe hard-boiled?
In Japan, we have a very special way of eating them: we pour a raw egg directly over a bowl of hot rice. We call this "TKG"—short for Tamago Kake Gohan.
Whenever I tell my students about this, many of them are shocked. They ask, “Wait, you eat raw eggs?! Won’t you get a stomachache?” It’s a natural reaction if you aren't used to it!
But don't worry—there's a reason why it's safe and why we love it so much. Today, I’m going to take a deep dive into the world of TKG and share the secrets behind Japan’s favorite soul food.
みなさんの国では、卵をどうやって食べますか？
目玉焼き（めだまえき）？ゆで卵？
日本では、生の卵をそのままご飯にかけます。これを「TKG」と言います。
「えっ！生の卵を食べるんですか？お腹が痛くなりませんか？」と驚く学生さんが多いです。
今日は、TKGの秘密（ひみつ）について長くお話しします。

What's Your Opinion? Chocolate or Vanilla

الرِيَاضَة بِتْسَاعِدْنَا نِبْقَى بِلَيَاقَة وصَحَّة جَسَدِيِة وَعَقْلِيِة مْنِيحَة.
Sports help us stay fit and in good mental and physical health.
مُمَارَسِة الرِيَاضَة مُمْكِن تْقَلِّل التَوَتُر وكَمَان بِتْزِيد التَرْكِيز بِالمَهَام اليَومِيِة.
Practicing sports can reduce stress and also increase the focus in the daily tasks.
والرِيَاضَة بْتِلْعَب دَور مُهِم بِنَجَاح الإِنْسَان لأَنّهَا بِتْعَلِّم الإِنْسَان عَالإِنْضِبَاط 
And the sport plays a main role in the success of the person because it teaches discipline to the person
والرِيَاضَات الجَمَاعِيِة بِتْعَلِّمْنَا كِيف نِشْتِغِل كَفَرِيق.
Team sports teach us how to work as a team.
بِالإِضَافِة, الرِيَاضَات مُمْكِن تْسَاعِدْنَا نْكَوِّن أَصْحَاب جْدَاد
In addition, sports can help us make new friends.
بِالمُقَابِل, مُشَاهَدِة الرِيَاضَة تُعْتَبَر طَرِيقَة مْنِيحَة للتَوَاصُل مع العَيلِة والأَصْحَاب.
On the other hand, watching sports is considered as a great way to connect with family and friends.
بِشَكِل عَام, إِضَافِة الرِيَاضَة بِرَوتِينَّا اليَومِي بْزِيد السَعَادِة بِالَحَياة 
In general, including sport in our daily routine increases the happiness in the life
