Hello！　I’m Yuko Nadani, Japanese teacher.
Today I'm going to talk about Gacha-Gacha in Japan. Do you know it?　It is fun for children and adults alike!　Adults may be crazy about it rather than children. Actually, I've been hooked before.

「がちゃがちゃ」
観光地や駅、スーパーでも見かけるガチャガチャ。これは、コインを入れてダイヤルを回すと、おもちゃやキャラクターグッズが入った丸いカプセルが出てくるものです。正式な名前は「カプセルトイ」と言います。
ちょっと大きいスーパーに行くと、必ずといってもいいくらい、このガチャガチャがあります。それも１台や２台ではなく、２０台とか３０台ぐらい！　１台１台、入っているカプセルの中身が違います。人気アニメのキャラクターの人形やキーホルダーが入っているものもあれば、食べ物や動物のミニチュアが入っているものもあります。観光地でよく見かけるのは、その土地の有名な場所や物を描いたピンバッチなどです。
安いものは１００円で高いものは３００円ぐらいです。ガチャガチャの機械に、どんな商品が入っているか写真が貼ってあるんですが、それぞれ数種類（すうしゅるい）混ざっているので、出てくるまでどれが手に入るかはわかりません。それで、欲しいアイテムが出てくるまで、ひたすらダイヤルを回し続ける人もいます。
実は私も「くまモン」のガチャガチャで大人買いをしたことがあります。「くまモン」とは、熊本県の営業部長兼しあわせ部長をしている“ゆるキャラ”です。日本には各県にいろいろなゆるキャラがいますが、くまモンはかなり有名で海外に出張に行くくらい人気があります。くまモンのオフィシャルホームページもあります。あ、今日はくまモンの話ではなくて、ガチャガチャの話でした。
そう、もうずいぶん前になりますが、「くまモン」の２センチほどの大きさのフィギアが入っているガチャガチャが出たことがありました。くまモンの５種類のポーズで、カプセルに一つずつ入っていました。もちろん、全種類欲しかったので、全部揃うまで、コインを入れては回しました。同じものが出てくることもあるので、５種類だからと言って、５回回せば済むというものではありません。同じ物が出てくること覚悟で、小銭を用意して、ガチャガチャをするのです。一ついくらだったかは、覚えていませんが、１０００円以上使ったと思います。こういうまとめ買いすることを「大人買い」と言うのです。子どもの少ないお小遣いでは、なかなかできないことですからね。
そして、そのおかげで、全部揃えることができました。正直なところを言えば、お金の無駄遣いだと思うのですが、「欲しい！」と思う気持ちを抑えることは、なかなか難しいです。特に、大好きなキャラクターグッズとなると！
皆さんの国にも、ガチャガチャはありますか。日本にはいろいろな場所に設置されていますので、好きなデザインやキャラを見つけて１度はやってみてください。結構、はまりますよ。

Сейча́с 7 часо́в. До́брое у́тро!  Я всегда́ встаю́ ра́но. Мне не нра́вится до́лго спать. 
На за́втрак я обы́чно ем ка́шу и пью апельси́новый  сок. Год наза́д я не знал, что тако́е ка́ша.
Но моя́ преподава́тельница ру́сского языка́ сказа́ла  мне, что э́то о́чень вку́сное и поле́зное блю́до.
По́сле за́втрака я принима́ю душ. Тепе́рь я гото́в рабо́тать. Наде́юсь, что сего́дня бу́дет хоро́ший день.

Now it’s 7 o’clock. Good morning!
I always get up early. I don’t like sleeping long hours.
For breakfast, I usually eat porridge and drink orange  juice. One year ago, I didn’t know what porridge was. But my Russian language teacher told me that it’s a  very tasty and healthy dish.
After breakfast, I take a shower. Now I’m ready to work. I hope that today will be a good day.

现在已经七点了。 早上好！
我总是早起。
我不喜欢睡很长时间。
早餐我通常吃粥，喝橙汁。
一年前，我还不知道粥是什么。
但我的俄语老师告诉我，这是一道非常美味又健康的食品。
早餐后，洗个澡。
现在我准备工作了。
我希望今天是美好的一天

Il est maintenant 7 heures. Bonjour!
Je me lève toujours tôt.
Je n'aime pas dormir de longues heures.
Au petit-déjeuner, je mange habituellement du porridge et bois du jus d'orange.
Il y a un an, je ne savais pas ce qu'était le porridge.
Mais mon professeur de russe m’a dit que c’était un plat très savoureux et sain.
Après le petit-déjeuner, je prends une douche.
Maintenant, je suis prêt à travailler.
J'espère qu'aujourd'hui sera une bonne journée

Professional networking is the strategic cultivation of relationships with individuals and groups within your industry or field. It goes beyond simply collecting business cards; it's about building genuine connections, fostering mutually beneficial exchanges, and creating a network that can support your professional growth.

The more you network, the more people you can potentially lean on when you need a professional favor. This can ultimately benefit you in your career and help you reach your professional goals.


Benefits of Professional Networking:

Career Advancement: Networking can open doors to new job opportunities through referrals, introductions, and increased visibility within your field.

Knowledge Sharing and Learning: Networking allows you to tap into the expertise and experiences of others. This includes learning about industry trends, best practices, and valuable insights that may not be readily available elsewhere.

Increased Visibility and Credibility: Actively engaging in professional networks helps you establish yourself as a thought leader within your industry. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you build trust and credibility, enhancing your professional brand.

Finding Mentors and Allies: Through networking, you can connect with experienced professionals who can offer guidance and support as you navigate your career path. These mentors can provide valuable career advice, feedback, and encouragement.
