the difference between 放松 and 轻松, show me with examples
放松 (fàng sōng) and 轻松 (qīng sōng) are both adjectives that can be translated as "relaxed" in English. However, there are some subtle differences in how they are used.
放松 (fàng sōng)  is a more general term that refers to the state of being relaxed or at ease. For example:
我喜欢做瑜伽，因为它能让我放松。(I like doing yoga because it helps me relax.)
wǒ xǐ huān zuò yú jiā, yīn wéi tā néng ràng wǒ fàng sōng.
假期让我放松许多。(The vacation helped me relax a lot.)
jià qī ràng wǒ fàng sōng xǔ duō.

轻松 (qīng sōng) on the other hand, is often used to describe an activity or task that is easy and not very demanding. For example:
这道题目太轻松了，我很快就会做出来。(This problem is too easy. I'll finish it quickly.)
zhè dào tí mù tài qīng sōng le, wǒ hěn kuài jiù huì zuò chū lái.
这项工作对我来说很轻松。(This job is very easy for me.)
zhè xiàng gōng zuò duì wǒ lái shuō hěn qīng sōng.

So, while both words refer to a state of relaxation, 放松 is more general and refers to a general feeling of relaxation, while 轻松 is more specific and refers to an activity or task that is easy and not very demanding.

こんにちは！みほです。みなさん元気ですか。私のポッドキャスト「Mihongo Nihongo」へようこそ！
このポッドキャストでは、私がみじかい話(はなし)をします。みなさんは私の話を聞(き)いて、質問(しつもん)に答(こた)えてください。

きょうの話は「休(やす)みの日」です。質問は３つです。
①私は休みの日、何を勉強(べんきょう)しますか？
②私は日曜日(にちようび)、だれと出かけますか？
③どうして私はちょっとさみしいですか？

じゃあ準備(じゅんび)はいいですか？始めましょう！

みなさんは休みの日、何をしますか。私はアニメを見たり、ゲームをしたりします。あと、英語(えいご)も勉強します。最近(さいきん)、フランス語も始めました。それから、ときどき夫(おっと)と息子(むすこ)と出かけます。息子が小さかった時(とき)は、毎週(まいしゅう)日曜日に家族(かぞく)で出かけていました。でも、最近息子は友達(ともだち)とあそぶのがたのしいから、あまりいっしょに出かけません。いいことですが、ちょっとさみしいですね。


ではもう一度(いちど)質問です。
①私は休みの日、何を勉強(べんきょう)しますか？
②私は日曜日、だれと出かけますか？
③どうして私はちょっとさみしいですか？

答えです。
①英語とフランス語を勉強します。
②夫と息子と出かけます。
③最近息子が友達とあそぶので、あまり家族でいっしょに出かけないからです。

どうでしたか？答えられましたか？
それではきょうのポッドキャストはここまで。最後(さいご)まで聞いてくれてありがとうございました。またね！
