This episode introduces listeners to Walt Whitman, "America's World Poet." Listen to Whitman's poem, "Beginning My Studies," along with a short description of his life and a discussion of the language he uses.

Beginning my studies, the first step pleas’d me so much, 
The mere fact, consciousness — these forms — the power of motion,
 The least insect or animal — the senses — eyesight — love;
 The first step, I say, aw’d me and pleas’d me so much,
 I have hardly gone, and hardly wish'd to go, any farther,
 But stop and loiter all the time, to sing it in ecstatic songs.

샤프 하나로 일찐을 물리친 천재 [약한 영웅 Class1]

A businessman in China has announced that his workers can take days off if they're not in a good mood.

It has been called "unhappiness leave." And Yu Donglai, who is the founder of a supermarket chain called Pang Dong Lai, said his employees can use 10 days of this leave each year.

"I want every staff member to have freedom. Everyone has times when they're not happy, so if you're not happy, do not come to work," Yu said earlier this year.

He added that shop managers cannot deny workers this leave if they ask for it.

This leave is in addition to the days off that the company's employees already have.

According to the South China Morning Post, Pang Dong Lai workers get between 30 and 40 days of leave each year, as well as five days off during New Year. Their working days are seven hours long, and employees don't work on weekends.

Yu said of his company: "We do not want to be big. We want our employees to have a healthy and relaxed life, so that the company will too."

The average monthly salary at Pang Dong Lai is about $970, which is much higher than the average in China for workers in similar jobs.

Yu has 13 shops in Henan province, and they have become known for their customer service. He's known as a good boss in a country where many workers are said to be feeling burned out at work.

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！元気ですかー？私はとっても元気ですよー！
今日のトピックは「誕生日パーティー」

先週土曜日、息子のいとこの誕生日だったので、誕生日パーティーに招待されて行ってきましたー！室内遊園地の施設内にあるパーティールームで行われました。サウジ人はパーティー好きなので、よく室内遊園地やマックにパーティールームがあるんですよね～。家族、クラスメート、その親と兄弟、メイドあわせて50人以上のとても大きなパーティーでした。日本にいたときは、幼稚園で誕生日会があったので、クラスメートを呼んでのパーティーはしたことがなかったし、小さい家族だったので、今回のパーティーの規模の大きさに驚きました。
3歳になった女の子のいとこは、ミニーマウス、ミッキーマウスが大好き。だから、ミニー、ミッキーをテーマにしたかわいいパーティーでした。ピンクの大きなバルーンアーチに名前入りのバルーン、大きなミニーの巨大特注ケーキ、ペットボトルや紙皿もミニー。子供たちにはミニーとミッキーのカチューシャが配られて、女の子はミニーの顔をペイントしてもらってました。息子は絶対いやーという感じでカチューシャつけなかったですけどね笑
人がある程度そろったら、輪投げと椅子取りゲームが始まりました。ダンスと音楽を楽しんで、そのあとはお待ちかねのケーキ。ミニー好きのいとこは目をキラキラさせながら、ろうそくの火を消していました。ケーキカットと思いきや、ケーキを食べる前に、子供たちは室内遊園地のプレイカードをもらって、フリータイム。息子はあまり遊ばなかったけど、みんな大はしゃぎで遊園地を楽しんでいました！
初めての外での誕生日パーティー、息子は少し緊張しながらも楽しんだようです！
それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！
