★★Text(Kanji)★★
中高生のとき、イタリアのことを　たくさん　教科書で　見ました。コロッセオ、ボッティチェリのえを。サンタルチアの歌も　歌いました。それで、ずっと　思っていました。
「いつか　イタリアに　行きたいなぁ」って。

２４歳のとき、初めて　イタリアに　行きました。教科書で　見たものが　たくさんありました。でも、日本には　ない　野菜の　匂いや味、街の音、人の声、空気、色々なことを　肌で　感じて、イタリアが　大好きになりました。

旅の最後に、フィレンツェの　きれいな広場に　行って、夕日を　見ながら、願いました。「またここに戻ってくることができますように！」って。いま　イタリアに　住んでいますよ。


★★Applied conversation practice★★
（わたしのくに・まち）には　ない
｛〇〇の　におい（Smell）や　〇〇の　あじ（Taste）、〇〇の　おと（Sound）、〇〇の　こえ（Voice）、〇〇の　いろ（Color）、くうき｝
いろいろなことを　はだで　かんじて、にほんが　だいすきになりました。

１）タイ：スパイス、すいぎゅう、ビーチ（Thailand: spices, buffalo, beach）
２）トルコ：トルココーヒー、いのり、ブルーモスクのブルータイル（Turkey: Turkish coffee, prayer, blue tiles of the Blue Mosque）
３）your own


★★Extra thinking training★★
考えたことを強調して言うために、倒置法（とうちほう）を使います。
Use inversion method to emphasize what you have thought about.

れい１）「いつか　イタリアに　いってみたいなぁ」って　ずっと　おもっていました。
　　　⇒ずっと　おもっていました。「いつか　イタリアに　いってみたいなぁ」って。

れい２）ゆうひを　みながら、
　　　「またここにもどってくることができますように！」と　ねがいました。
　　　⇒ゆうひを　みながら、ねがいました。
　　　「またここにもどってくることができますように！」と。

１）「早く　日本に　いきたいなぁ」って　ずっと　おもっていますよ。

NOTE
とうちほう（倒置法）
The inversion method is a technique for expressing sentences. You can make an impact by using expressions that change the word order of ordinary sentences. You can also use this technique when you want to emphasize what you are thinking.

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.
