***MindsetCoaching*** Boosting up your self-esteem!

Speaker 1: For me, having a dumbphone would be …dumb. I really like surfing the web on my phone to find out about things. If I hear the name of an actor I don’t know about, I can look them up, or if I‘m in a new place and I want to find a restaurant to go to, I can find somewhere easily. Plus, I love Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I follow loads of celebrities and I love to watch concerts and live-tweet what is happening. Without my smartphone, my friends wouldn’t know what I was doing. It would feel very strange.

Speaker 2: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dumbphone. I hate how the battery on my smartphone is in control of my life. I always have to find somewhere to charge the phone when I’m out and I’m always worried about it. I also don’t like the way search engines record your history and use it to sell you things. I feel as though my attention is always taken away from everything I do with my smartphone because I use it so much. I was with a friend the other day and after a while, we were sitting there not talking, just looking at our phones. It was like our phones just killed the conversation. We didn’t even realize it was happening.

Speaker 3: I like the idea of a dumbphone. I’m just not sure if I would like it in practice. I travel a lot with my work, so it really helps being able to access my inbox when I’m out. If I didn’t, I would spend all my time in the office answering emails. I also have a favorite podcaster who I listen to all the time when I’m traveling. I can download his latest episode and pass the time when I’m on a flight or a train. I do enjoy being offline as I feel as though I am always using my phone to communicate, with email, Skype, phone calls, and text. But I think if I didn’t have access to the Internet most of the time, I would worry.

DUMBPHONES

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は京都の鴨川について話します。

みなさんは京都の鴨川を見たことがありますか？
実は先週、京都に行きました。

鴨川にそって歩きました。
とても気持ち良かったので、海外の人にも行ってほしいなと思ったので、Podcastで話そうと思います。

ぼくは今回は鴨川沿いを2時間ぐらい歩きました。

京都駅から歩いて行きました。
京都駅の目の前に京都タワーがあります。
それを見て右へ行きます。
東ですね。

歩いて行くと鴨川に着きますので、それを左、北の方へ歩きます。階段を降りて鴨川沿いを歩くことができます。

日本人も外国人もいます。
歩いている人、自転車の人、遊んでいる人、走っている人、いろいろです。

川沿いは時間が少しゆっくり流れているように感じて気持ちがいいです。

川の周りはあまり大きな建物はないので、北の山の方まで景色が見えて気持ちがいいです。

途中で清水寺の方へ行ったり、二条城の方へ行ったりするのも良いですね。

世界遺産がたくさんありますが、この鴨川をのんびり歩くのもとても良い旅行の方法だと思います。

京都に1週間ぐらい滞在する人も多いと思うので、もし時間がある人は行ってみてください！


こんな感じで、日本の旅行の話についてもいろんな話をすることができます。ぼくと話したい、と思った方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

お待ちしています！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
