016 - Best Tips for a Happy Life Abroad (Part Three)

Today I’m going to talk about a new system, the face pass for station ticket gate. 
It is the test stage before the full-scale operation. 
I have doubts if this system can recognize correctly who I am. 
Why do I doubt it? Please listen this story! Thank you!

先日、新聞に駅の改札に「顔パス」で通過できる改札機を試験的に導入するという記事が載っていました。　改札を「顔パス」で通過するには、あらかじめ顔写真を登録しておく必要があるそうです。　毎日　同じ駅を使って　会社に行く人や学校に行く人たちにとっては、とても便利なシステムだと思います。
すでに、「顔」をパスワード替わりに使っているアプリが普通に使われています。例えば、銀行口座のアプリでは、顔認証と暗証番号の入力のいずれかでアクセスできるようになっています。　
実は、この顔認証に私は少々不便を感じています。最初に顔を登録したとき、私はばっちり化粧をして眼鏡をかけていました。　そのため、眼鏡をかけていなかったり、寝起きの化粧をしていない顔だと本人だと認識してくれないのです。　間違いなく本人なのに、化粧をしているかしていないか、眼鏡をかけているかいないかで、本人かどうかがわからないのです。これって、なんだか変ですよね。　化粧をしていない、眼鏡をかけていない顔が　本当の私の顔のはずなのに、アプリに「本人ではありません」と判断されているのですから。
きっと、これから駅の改札に導入される「顔パス」機能も、同じようなことが起こるのじゃないかと思っています。。　そう考えると、「顔パス」登録用の顔とスタイルを決めておかなくてはいけません。　そうしなければ、私が登録していない顔で通るたびに、改札が開かずに渋滞が起きてしまいますからね。
今日は新しい駅の改札についてお話しました。

5 idioms

Hi everyone, this is Jesse, your story writer, and you’re listening to the Being a Cloud podcast. 

More teachers are waking up to the power of stories to teach languages, and on this show, I share the stories I’ve made with my italki students for you to enjoy. 

Are you an ESL student? Do you want to make a story? Book a lesson with me and let’s create one together. 

In this story, an orange named Orangutan gets an unexpected text message from his girlfriend. This is part 1 of 3.

Orangutan the Orange

Rain is pouring heavily onto a small town somewhere in Russia. It’s 8:15 in the morning on a cold Monday. 

Inside of a small, community-run gym, there is an angry-looking orange lifting some weights. It’s early, so no other members are in the gym. Not all the lights are turned on. The fourteen-year-old orange is alone lifting some dumbbells. 

8 – 9 – 10 – Rest… 

He takes in huge breathes to recover. He seems very driven to push his body to its limits. 

Again… 1 – 2 – 3… 

After completing his 5th set, the orange walks over to the bench press. He lays down on the bench, grabs the steel bar and lifts the 50kg weights. He’s very strong for such a young piece of fruit. 

Then, his mobile phone makes a sound. The orange completes his set, then grabs his phone from his bag. Two new messages have arrived. He opens the first one and scans the text. 

Hi, Orangutan, my dear, it’s me. I’m sorry to say, but our relationship is over. Please don’t visit me or call me anymore. You’re very strong and handsome, but you’re not polite or considerate. While I do care for you, sometimes I don’t feel safe around you…

The message stops there. It continues in the second message. But Orangutan feels so insulted and hurt by the message. He instantly deletes both of the messages, without reading the second.
