Por que saber Português para ir ao Brasil?

...
Тихо тянулись дни, тихо вставало горячее солнце и обтекало синее небо, распростершееся над Волгой и ее прибрежьем. Медленно ползли снегообразные облака в полдень и иногда, сжавшись в кучу, потемняли лазурь и рассыпались веселым дождем на поля и сады, охлаждали воздух и уходили дальше, дав простор тихому и теплому вечеру.

Если же вдруг останавливалась над городом и Малиновкой черная туча и разрешалась продолжительной, почти тропической грозой — все робело, смущалось, весь дом принимал, как будто перед нашествием неприятеля, оборонительное положение. Татьяна Марковна походила на капитана корабля во время шторма.

— Гасить огни, закрывать трубы, окна, запирать двери! — слышалась ее команда. — Поди, Василиса, посмотри, не курят ли трубок? Нет ли где сквозного ветра? Отойди, Марфенька, от окна!

Пока ветер качал и гнул к земле деревья, столбами нес пыль, метя поля, пока молнии жгли воздух и гром тяжело, как хохот, катался в небе, бабушка не смыкала глаз, не раздевалась, ходила из комнаты в комнату, заглядывала, что делают Марфенька и Верочка, крестила их и крестилась сама, и тогда только успокоивалась, когда туча, истратив весь пламень и треск, бледнела и уходила вдаль.

Утром восходило опять радостное солнце и играло в каждой повисшей на листьях капельке, в каждой луже, заглядывало в каждое окно и било в стекла и щели счастливого приюта.

Toddlers in the UK get almost half of their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), according to a new study.

Researchers also found that 7-year-olds get 59% of their calories from UPFs.

UPFs include things like ice cream and cookies, but also ham, sausages, flavored yogurts, breakfast cereals and some breads.

Eating too much of these types of food has been linked to an increased risk of a number of different health conditions, including obesity, diabetes and heart problems.

The study looked at food diaries completed by the parents of more than 2,500 children aged 21 months, and 600 children aged 7.

The most common UPFs that toddlers ate were flavored yogurts and whole-grain breakfast cereals.

Although these are seen as quite healthy choices, they are still ultra-processed. They're usually industrially produced and contain ingredients that most people wouldn't have in their kitchens, like emulsifiers.

The researchers said children who eat more UPFs as toddlers are more likely to eat a lot of them as they get older, so choosing the right foods for young children is important.

Previous research has found that teenagers in the UK may get more than 60% of their calories from UPFs.

However, the study's lead author, Rana Conway, said it's not only parents that are to blame.

She said these foods "are often cheaper than the foods parents would like to give their children, such as fresh fruit and vegetables.

"Also, despite labels suggesting they're a healthy choice, ultra-processed foods marketed for children often contain too much sugar and salt. This makes it harder for parents to make healthy choices."

Studies done in the US have found similar problems with the diets of children there.

はい、こんにちは。今回はシーズン２の７回目です。今日は大学のレポートを一つ終えました。だんだん書き方がわかってきましたが、難しいです。毎年１月は日本語の生徒さんが増えます。私の授業でも、新しい生徒さんが増えています。いつもありがとうございます。１月は新しい目標を立てて、新しい習慣を始める人が多いですね。

Hello. This is episode 7 of season 2 of my podcast. Today I finished one of my university essays. I am gradually learning how to write them, but it is still difficult. Every year in January, the number of Japanese students increases. There are also more new students in my classes. Thank you to all my students, January is the month when many people set new goals and start new habits.

最近外に出ていなかったので、今日は出かけることにしました。出かけるほどの用事がなかったので、オンラインで注文していた商品を、わざわざキャンセルして取りに行くことにしました。「わざわざ」は、しなくてもいいことをするときに使います。いい意味でも悪い意味でも使います。電車に乗って、４つ先の駅の家電量販店に行きました。先月まではそんなに寒くなかったですが、最近急に寒くなりました。今週は雪が降るそうです。先月のうちにコートをクリーニングに出しておいて良かったです。

I hadn't been outside recently, so I decided to go out today. I didn't have any things I needed to do outside, so I decided to Wazawaza cancel the items I had ordered online and pick them up at the store. 'Wazawaza (intentionally)' is used when you do something you don't have to do. It is used in both positive and negative contexts. I took the train to an electronics store four stops away. It wasn't so cold until last month, but it has suddenly become cold recently. It is going to snow this week. I am glad I got my coat dry cleaned last month.

家電量販店でコンタクトレンズを買ったら、1,000円ぐらいのポイントが溜まりました。日本の家電量販店では、よくポイントがもらえます。この店のポイントは買った金額の10%です。たとえば1,000円の買い物をすると、100円のポイントがもらえます。ポイントは同じ店で現金として使うことができます。違う店では使えません。私はこのポイントを使って、筋トレ用のアンクルウェイトを買い換えることにしました。いままで0.5kgのものを使っていましたが、1kgにしました。持って帰る時少し重かったので、改めてオンラインは便利だと思いました。
