はい、こんにちは。今回はシーズン２の７回目です。今日は大学のレポートを一つ終えました。だんだん書き方がわかってきましたが、難しいです。毎年１月は日本語の生徒さんが増えます。私の授業でも、新しい生徒さんが増えています。いつもありがとうございます。１月は新しい目標を立てて、新しい習慣を始める人が多いですね。

Hello. This is episode 7 of season 2 of my podcast. Today I finished one of my university essays. I am gradually learning how to write them, but it is still difficult. Every year in January, the number of Japanese students increases. There are also more new students in my classes. Thank you to all my students, January is the month when many people set new goals and start new habits.

最近外に出ていなかったので、今日は出かけることにしました。出かけるほどの用事がなかったので、オンラインで注文していた商品を、わざわざキャンセルして取りに行くことにしました。「わざわざ」は、しなくてもいいことをするときに使います。いい意味でも悪い意味でも使います。電車に乗って、４つ先の駅の家電量販店に行きました。先月まではそんなに寒くなかったですが、最近急に寒くなりました。今週は雪が降るそうです。先月のうちにコートをクリーニングに出しておいて良かったです。

I hadn't been outside recently, so I decided to go out today. I didn't have any things I needed to do outside, so I decided to Wazawaza cancel the items I had ordered online and pick them up at the store. 'Wazawaza (intentionally)' is used when you do something you don't have to do. It is used in both positive and negative contexts. I took the train to an electronics store four stops away. It wasn't so cold until last month, but it has suddenly become cold recently. It is going to snow this week. I am glad I got my coat dry cleaned last month.

家電量販店でコンタクトレンズを買ったら、1,000円ぐらいのポイントが溜まりました。日本の家電量販店では、よくポイントがもらえます。この店のポイントは買った金額の10%です。たとえば1,000円の買い物をすると、100円のポイントがもらえます。ポイントは同じ店で現金として使うことができます。違う店では使えません。私はこのポイントを使って、筋トレ用のアンクルウェイトを買い換えることにしました。いままで0.5kgのものを使っていましたが、1kgにしました。持って帰る時少し重かったので、改めてオンラインは便利だと思いました。

I'm a Celebrity Scandal 

When the end of the working week arrives, it can be a little harder to keep going.

If you work from Monday to Friday, you might find yourself thinking about the weekend as your brain and body get ready to rest. You may feel that you're getting less work done.

You might even feel this way near the end of each work day.

And a study from the US has found that yes, it's true — we aren't as productive and we make more mistakes in the afternoons, especially on Fridays.

While most of us could probably have guessed that result, the researchers said most studies in the past have just asked workers about their feelings related to their productivity.

But this one actually used data based on computer use, including how fast people typed and the numbers of typos they made.

The researchers, from Texas A&M University, looked at the computer use of 789 employees working from the office of a big company in Texas.

They studied them for two years and looked at their computer use at different times of the day and week.

And they found that computer use "dropped significantly" on Fridays.

One of the researchers, Taehyun Roh, said: "Employees were less active in the afternoons, and made more typos in the afternoons — especially on Fridays."

The authors added that results like this should encourage bosses to think about flexible working arrangements or four-day working weeks to get the best from their employees.
