LISTENING AND COMPREHENSION OF SPANISH PARAGRAPH 

An urban design firm is hoping to create the "world's greenest highway" by covering a major road in Dubai with gardens, trees, walkways and solar panels.

The proposed 64-kilometer-long road, called the "Dubai Green Spine," would see the Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, one of Dubai's main highways, enhanced with over 1 million trees and enough solar panels to power 130,000 homes.

Dubai-based design firm URB says its road concept would help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1 million metric tons per year, and help the city manage the needs of a population that's expected to grow from over 3 million today to nearly 8 million by 2040.

URB's design aims to reduce city heat and improve air quality while offering a safe, attractive and accessible route for commuting and leisure. Green spaces would be combined with walking and cycling paths, and electric tram lines would have solar panels built directly into the tracks.

Bus shelters and elevators would have rooftop solar panels, while garden-covered paths over the highway would make a walk from one side to the other easy and enjoyable.

URB CEO Baharash Bagherian says the concept is about "proving that our streets can do more than facilitate car traffic; they can significantly enhance quality of life."

He says the design takes a "human-centric approach" that prioritizes people and green spaces over cars.

However, it takes a lot of water to grow plants in Dubai. CNN notes that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) already consumes around 550 liters of water per person every day, compared to an average of 310 liters in the US and 144 liters in the European Union.

And most of the UAE's water isn't used for drinking — it's just needed to keep parts of the desert country green.

With this in mind, URB's design includes drought-resistant plants and special soil that helps retain water.

URB has also proposed designs for a 93-kilometer indoor cycling and walking "highway" called

나의 친구 강아지

작년 봄, 저는 강아지 한 마리를 만났어요.
친구가 “보리”라는 강아지를 잠깐 맡아 달라고 했어요.
처음에는 무서웠지만, 보리를 보고 마음이 바뀌었어요.
보리는 작고 귀여운 갈색 강아지였어요.

보리는 저를 처음 봤을 때 조용히 다가왔어요.
손을 살짝 핥고, 꼬리를 흔들었어요.
그때 저는 '아, 이 강아지는 착하구나'라고 생각했어요.
그날부터 우리는 친구가 되었어요.

보리와 함께 산책도 하고, 공놀이도 했어요.
제가 공을 던지면 보리는 달려가서 물고 왔어요.
매일 아침 보리와 산책하는 시간이 정말 좋았어요.

어느 날, 제가 감기에 걸려서 아팠어요.
침대에 누워 있을 때, 보리가 제 옆에 조용히 앉았어요.
보리의 따뜻한 몸이 제 마음까지 따뜻하게 만들었어요.
그때 저는 보리가 단순한 동물이 아니라 진짜 친구라고 느꼈어요.

지금은 보리가 다시 친구 집으로 돌아갔어요.
하지만 보리와 함께한 시간은 제게 소중한 추억이에요.
언젠가 다시 보리를 만나고 싶어요.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は曇り。
気温は22℃。

北海道はどんどん涼しくなっています。
みなさんが住んでいる地域はどうですか？

さて、今日はアレルギーについて。
私はアレルギー性の鼻炎があります。
花粉やハウスダストにアレルギーがあります。
季節の変わり目にも、アレルギーの症状がよく出ます。
くしゃみや鼻水が出る症状になります。
ひどい時は、くしゃみが止まらなくなる時もあります。

この症状をおさえるために、薬を飲むことが多いです。
薬を飲むと、1時間後ぐらいにはほとんど症状がおさまります。マスクをしていても症状は出るので、薬でコントロールすることが多いです。

ここ数日はアレルギーの症状が出ています。
最近、あまり出ていなかったので、少し油断していました。
北海道の何かか、季節の変わり目だからか理由はわかりませんが、アレルギーの症状が出ています。

症状がおさまらないと、集中できないので良くないですね。
早くおさまってほしいです。

みなさんはアレルギーがありますか？
ありませんか？

ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！
ということで、今日はアレルギーについて話しました。

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！
