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「好(す)きな色(いろ)」です。質問は３つです。
①私は何色(なにいろ)の服(ふく)をたくさん持(も)っていますか。
②私は若(わか)いとき、何色が好きでしたか。
③私は昔(むかし)の写真(しゃしん)を見ると、どう思(おも)いますか。

準備(じゅんび)はいいですか？はじめましょう！

みなさんは何色(なにいろ)が好きですか。私は青(あお)と緑(みどり)と黒(くろ)が好きです。服(ふく)を買(か)うとき、よくこの３色(さんしょく/3 colors)を探(さが)します。特(とく)に、黒の服(ふく)はたくさん持(も)っています。でも、二十歳(はたち)ぐらいのときは、ピンクが大好きでした。コートやバッグ、ケータイ、なんでもピンクでした。今、昔(むかし)の写真(しゃしん)を見るとちょっと恥(は)ずかしいです。

ではもう一度(いちど)質問です。
①私は何色(なにいろ)の服(ふく)をたくさん持(も)っていますか。

Impersonal verbs are verbs that do not use a specific subject, but instead use the generic subject it. They’re often called “weather verbs” or “meteorological verbs” because they’re commonly used to describe the weather, like in the impersonal verb examples “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing.” 

 Words and phrases with asterisks mean that they are not always impersonal, depending on the meaning.

A Guide to Impersonal Verbs

It might sound like the worst start to your day — you get into the shower, and it's ice cold. But while you might not enjoy it, a cold shower could actually be good for your health.

Spending time in cold water is not a new idea — the Ancient Greeks used cold water as a form of therapy as early as 3,500 BC. And things like cold water swims and ice baths have become quite popular around the world.

Experts believe there are a few reasons cold showers could be good for us.

Corey Simon, a doctor at Duke School of Medicine in the US, told CNN that having one or two cold showers a week helps him be more mentally present.

He believes the reason for this is that he has to mentally prepare himself for something stressful: the cold water. But once he's in it, he feels like he's in control of that stressor.

In fact, a 2022 study found that participants who showered for a minute in 10- to 14-degree water every day for two weeks had lower stress levels than a control group.

Cold showers could also be good for our immune system. In a study done in the Netherlands in 2016, people who spent 30 to 90 seconds in a cold shower took 29% fewer sick days from work.

Cold water has also been found to improve circulation, and can reduce muscle pain after a workout. Research suggests that taking a cold shower often could increase your metabolism too.

But experts say it's important to speak to your doctor before taking cold showers often, because it could be dangerous — especially for those with certain conditions, like heart or circulatory problems.

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
