Wyn's Way to English - Listening Practice "Citizenship"

The European Union (EU) has encouraged citizens across the continent to stockpile food, water and other essentials to last at least 72 hours as war, cyberattacks, climate change and disease increase the chances of a crisis.

The call to action for the EU's 450 million citizens comes as the 27-nation bloc rethinks its security, especially after Donald Trump's US administration warned that Europe must take more responsibility for it.

In recent years, the EU has been forced to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, and the threat from Russia, including its attempts to exploit Europe's dependence on its natural gas to weaken support for Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has warned that Russia could be capable of launching another attack in Europe by 2030.

"Today's threats facing Europe are more complex than ever, and they are all interconnected," said Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib as she shared a new strategy for dealing with future disasters.

While the commission is keen not to be seen as alarmist, Lahbib said it's important "to make sure people have essential supplies for at least 72 hours in a crisis." She listed food, water, flashlights, ID papers, medicine and radios as things to stock.

Lahbib said the EU should build up a "strategic reserve" and stockpile other critical resources including firefighting planes; medical, energy and transport equipment; and specialized assets against chemical, biological and nuclear threats.

The EU's plans are similar to those in France, Finland and Sweden.

Last year, Sweden updated its civil emergency advice "to better reflect today's security policy reality" such as what to do in case of nuclear attack.

Not all EU countries have the same level of crisis preparedness, and the commission also wants to encourage them to coordinate better in case of emergency.

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said: "New realities require a new level of preparedness in Europe."

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。

旅行の話の続きをしますね。

前回のPodcastでは、アメリカ旅行の話していました。
大学を卒業する時に行った旅行ですね。
日本では卒業旅行といいます。

で、今回はアメリカ旅行の続き、ラスベガスへ行った話ですね。ラスベガスに行ったことありますか？僕が行った時は22歳？の時だったので、ギャンブルにも興味がないし、お金も持っていないので、カジノではほとんど遊んでません。

その時は、ユニークな形のホテルがたくさんあったので、それを見て回りました。ホテルの前でいろいろとアトラクションがあったので、それもいくつか見たと思います。

今調べてみましたが、今もいろんなホテルがありますね。
いろんな国がテーマになっているホテルがあります。
たとえば、エジプトがテーマのルクソール、
イタリアがテーマのベネチアン、
ニューヨーク、とか
いろいろありますね。

ホテルの中にジェットコースターがある場所もあります。
本当に他の場所では見られないようなホテルがたくさんありました。

そんなホテルの1つにストラトスフィアというホテルがあります。そこに大きなタワーがあって、1番上にビッグショットというアトラクションがあります。僕たちはそれに乗りました！2回！乗りました。

これはぜひYouTubeで検索して見てほしいんですけど、めっちゃおもしろかったです。

ラスベガスの夜景を見ながら、この高い場所で激しく上下に動くアトラクション、ビッグショットに乗りました。これはめずらしく、見た景色を覚えています。それぐらい特別な体験だったんだろうなと思います。

今日はラスベガスの話で終わります。
また続きは次のPodcastで話しますね。

みなさんにとって特別な体験の旅行はありますか？
ぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

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！
