Job Interview Tip 6. 3 Elements to consider befor going for a job interview.

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.

From Poverty to Popularity: The History of Pizza

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気は晴れ。
気温は21℃です。暑くないです。

今日はコーヒーについて。
私はオンラインで日本語を教えながら、オンラインでコーヒー豆を売っています。日本だけで売っています。

自分でコーヒーを焙煎ばいせんしています。
焙煎の意味は、roastですね。
焙煎すると、とても良い香りがします。

コロナ禍になってから、家で焙煎をはじめました。
もともとは自分のためにしていましたが、焙煎したてのコーヒーは香りが豊かです。香りがとても良いです。焙煎したてのコーヒーの香りやおいしさをたくさんの人にも楽しんでもらいたいと思い、オンラインで売ることを決めました。

香りの良い、おいしいコーヒーがあると、家での時間もいいものになりますね。

友達や知り合いも飲んだ後に、おいしかったー、香りが良かったー、などと良いリアクションをくれます。とても嬉しいです。

コーヒーがあると、人とつながりがうまれます。
そのことがとても好きです。

日本語も同じだと思います。
ただ日本語を学習するのではなく、それを通して、人としてつながることが楽しいと私は思います。
私はみなさんの日本語学習のサポートを通して、考えや知識、価値観など、たくさん広がりました。

みなさんにとっても、日本語学習を通していろんな人とつながりが生まれたら、私はとてもうれしいです！


コーヒーの話から日本語の話になりましたが、要は、コーヒーや日本語は人と関わるためのtool、道具で、大切なのは、人とつながりをもつこと、そして、自分の気持ちをオープンできる人に出会えることだと思います。

ということで、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！
