У вас є домашні тварини?
 У мене, наприклад, є кіт. Я хотів мати пса, але тато сказав, що наша квартира занадто маленька для пса, тому мені купили кота.
Йому́ вже 6 ро́ків. А мені́ 9 ро́ків. Це значить, що я на 3 ро́ки ста́рше. Кота звати Рудо́льф, він рудий та незграбний. А ще він ду́же товсти́й. Мабу́ть, тому він таки́й леда́чий. Чи навпаки́, він леда́чий, тому що зана́дто товсти́й. 
Мені́ подо́бається його́ гла́дити. А він не лю́бить, коли́ його́ гла́дять. Тому́ він ча́сто мене́ дря́пає. Він дряпає мене і диван. І ніколи не дряпає маму, тому що вона його годує.
Кажуть, що коти бачать привидів. Я сподіваюсь, що це неправда, тому що Рудольф іноді довго дивиться в одне місце. Краще я не буду про це думати, тому що мені страшно.
Що він там бачить?
Але я дуже люблю нашого кота. І він любить нас так сáмо. Тільки він занадто гордий. Життя без тварин нуднe і сумнe. Як добре, що у нас є кіт!

CHAO‘s HSK Listening Capsule（Advanced）HSK5-3一次难忘的旅行An unforgettable trip 

arrator: Elvis Presley was born to a very poor family in Mississippi in the south of the United States in 1935. His twin brother died at birth, and he was an only child. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee thirteen years later. As a teenager, Elvis was interested in all kinds of music and wore colorful clothes with a distinctive hairstyle that he kept for much of his life.
Narrator: In 1954, Sam Phillips, a music producer at Sun Records in Memphis, asked Elvis to come in for an audition. When he played a song that he had composed himself, Phillips recognized the young man’s talent. He offered Elvis a contract and put together a three-piece band for him. They played blues and country music that they knew from the radio, night clubs and churches with both black and white members. The band had a big hit later that year with a cover of a song by Arthur Crudup called, “That’s All Right,” using a style called rockabilly. Their popularity took off in the southern states as people saw them perform in local venues and even heard them on national radio programs.
Narrator: In 1956, Elvis met Colonel Tom Parker, who became his manager and organized a contract with RCA Records in New York. As the hits kept on coming, he changed over to a more rock and roll sound and performed in numerous TV shows and in films.
Narrator: However, in 1958, Elvis was drafted into the army and gave up performing for a couple of years. When he finished his military service, he returned to his music career and during the 1960s he made more than thirty movies and recorded lots of songs. He also married and had a daughter.
Narrator: In 1968, Elvis performed in a Christmas TV special, which boosted his popularity for a while. Between 1969 and 1976, he also put on hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, with tickets regularly selling out. However, in the 1970s, his career started to go downhill, partly because of his lifestyle. He was living in Graceland, a mansion in Memphis that he had bought in 1957.

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。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
打をやります！　

音読み　だ
訓読み　うーつ　送り仮名は、つ

意味は、うつ、たたく、とかです。
打つ、という言葉は日本では野球で使われることが多いです。その為、この文字は野球の関係の言葉が多いです。また、野球の言葉から転じて日常生活で使うこともよくあります。

例えば、

・打撃ーだげき　強く打つこと、相手に痛手を与えること

・打刻ーだこく　時刻を記録すること

・打算ーださん　損得を考えて判断すること

・打席ーだせき　野球のバッターボックスのこと、ビジネスなどの機会などの表現にも使う

・代打ーだいだ　ピンチヒッター。交代して打席に立つこと。転じてビジネスなどで誰かの代わりに仕事を受けること。

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・物価がほとんど変わらなかった30年は日本の成長に大きな打撃を与えた

・仕事から上がる時には忘れずに打刻してください

・彼はいつも打算的に行動する

・できるだけたくさんの打席に上がった方がいいよ

・今日は鈴木さんの代打で来ました。よろしくお願いします。


こんな感じです。

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！
