Positive thoughts for the New Year!
This is from a blog post I wrote at the start of 2021, but I think it is still really important now.

The Social Evolutionary

Last year was bad? Let's remember the good things.

Fake things in K-pop, Don't believe their marketing

This story uses words from '1000 most common words in English'. 


The morning comes quickly because Lemon has slept like a rock. He wakes up remembering his dream: an effortless glide through golden gates guided by angles and eagles.

“Mum, dad, I need to talk to you,” says Lemon. “I’m leaving… I’m going to go find this paradise. I need to see it for myself. I want to feel the soil between my toes and taste the unknown insects.” 

His parents are quiet for a moment. They see in his eyes that this is very important, and they only want what is best for their child. 

His mother speaks first. “You are a sweet child, little Lemon. You have a wonderful mind, brave and curious. You know you’re always welcome here. Our nest is always open.” 

“Mum, of course I’m coming back! I love you two so much and this is my home.” 

Lemon’s father says, “It has been said that there comes a point in a bird’s life when he needs to go beyond the mountains… It happened to my father and my father’s father, but never for me. That time never came. I grew up during the worst winter in known history. I had to work and sacrifice—there was no time for adventures… so, go on, Lemon. Get out there and live your life!” 

“You are the best parents a bird could ever wish for!” 

And with those words, the family hugs, a long hug which, even though freezing winds rip past them, seems to warm them to their very bones.

おはようございます。日本語だんだんpodcastのゆかりです。

いまは、11月ですね。

日本は秋から冬(ふゆ)になる季節(きせつ)です。

11月だと、すこし寒(さむ)いです。

でも、今年(ことし)はまだまだ、あたたかいです。

今日、大阪の気温は24度もありました。

11月にしては、あたたかい・・というより、

あつい！です。

ニュースでは、今年の日本の冬は、

"暖冬(だんとう)"といっています。

暖かい冬、とかいて、だんとうです。

いみは、そのまま、あたたかい冬。

いつもの年より、あたたかい冬、ということです。

寒いより、あたたかい方が、きもちがいいですね。

でも、雪があまりふらないと、
スキーやスノーボードができません。

こまることもあります。

今年の日本の冬は"暖冬"。

さて、どうなるでしょうか。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です、


また明日！

Hello and welcome to my Chinese Channel. Today let's take a look at how to express the different nationalities, such as I am Chinese. And how to ask which country do you come from? Are you ready?
