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

今日は、大寒波！について。
日本は今、今年1番の寒さになっています。
こういう時、大寒波を迎えた(だいかんぱをむかえた)などといいます。

今回の寒波は、10年に1度の寒さ、とも言われています。
昨日は北海道や東北も雪が降りましたが、西日本、鳥取や岡山、京都、滋賀などが大変だったようです。

電車が数時間止まったりしたようで、とても大変だったみたいですね。北海道などは除雪車が雪の翌日は必ず通るので、大丈夫なんですが、西日本だと基本的には除雪車はないかもしれないので、こういう時は結構大変です。

僕も鳥取に住んでいる時に雪が結構積もったことがありました。家の駐車場から車を出す為に雪かきしないといけないですし、大きな道路に出るまでの道は雪が積もったままなので、本当に大変だった記憶があります。

北海道では、もちろん場所によると思いますが、僕が住んでいる千歳では、小さな道でもだいたい除雪されているので、移動で苦労することは少ないですね。

日本語のレッスンでいろんな国の方と話していますが、今いろんな国でも気温が下がっているようですね。


外に出るのも大変なので、家で過ごせるようにいろいろと買っておかないといけないですね。北海道では、知り合いに聞くと、家は25℃ぐらいにしておく、食べ物は3日間分ぐらい買っておく、ガスコンロや水を用意しておく

ことが大切みたいです。

実際に停電になることもあるようなので、しっかり準備しておこうと思います。

みなさんも、気をつけてくださいね！
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！

#189 大寒波！について

“A family member that I'd really love to work with in the future is my cousin John, who is a few years older than me, and now has his own successful marketing company. I’m now in my final year of studying media marketing, and John has always been there for me, anytime I needed some advice or help with my studies. I guess you could say he has been like a mentor to me.




I actually had the pleasure of working with him during my summer holidays last year, which was a really amazing experience, and I got a lot of great hands-on working experience . 




As I'm studying media marketing, John's marketing company would be a perfect fit for me to put my years of study to use. I’m especially interested in social media marketing, and would love the opportunity to specialise in this niche market. I have also discussed this with my cousin, and he is also very interested in breaking into this market in the future.




If this could happen in the future I really would be over the moon with happiness, and it would be like a dream come true. I think it would be an amazing opportunity, as well as a challenge that I would relish. I think I could learn so much from my cousin, as well as working hard to prove myself. I also think having him take me under his wing would be a great start to my working life.
