こんにちは、Japanese with Yoshikoへようこそ！多くの日本人は「サウジはとにかく暑い」と思っていますが、実はサウジにも冬があります。今日は「サウジの冬」についてお話しします。今日のフレーズは「打って変わって」です。意味を知らない人はどういう意味か想像しながら聞いてみてくださいね。

サウジの冬は12月後半から1月頃です。でも、人によって地域によって冬の定義が異なると思います。私たちが住んでいる場所は、沿岸部の平地です。夏はサウジの中でも最も暑い場所の一つです。一番寒い時期は12月後半から1月前半で日中の最高気温は17°くらい、朝晩は10°を下回ります。少し寒くなったと思ったら、一瞬で冬が終わりました。12月に入るとサウジの人は冬服を楽しみます。日中25°くらいでも公園で厚着をして遊んでいる子供たちを見かけました。日本だったら20°くらいまで半袖を着ている子供たちが多いです。サウジの家はコンクリートでできていて、リビングの床は石でできています。夏はひんやりして気持ちいいですが、冬は靴下が必須です。サウジの家族は、家が広いこともあって、冬は少し寒いと感じるようで、ストーブを出していました。
驚くべきことに、実はサウジでも雪が降る場所があります。あまり、山のイメージがないのですが、北部には2,500mほどの山があり、毎年雪が見られます。ハイキングやキャンプをする人で賑わうようです。いつか行ってみたいです。
そして、サウジの冬といえばバーベキュー!先週末の夜、また家族が集まり、3年ぶりのバーベキューをしました。日中は暖かいですが、やっぱり夜は寒いです。私たちは夜外に出る予定がなかったので、ダウンジャケットを持っていませんでしたが、なるべく厚着をさせて遊ばせました。子供たちは運転できる車やスクーターなどで遊んでハイテンション！息子は先週あんまり乗り気ではなかったのですが、前回と打って変わって、今回は終始笑顔で走り回っていました。その間に大人たちはお肉を焼いたり、焚火をしたり、おしゃべりを楽しみました。お肉は牛やラム、チキンの串焼き、ハンバーグがありました。サウジのバーベキューでは、フムスと丸いパンも一緒に食べるのが一般的なようです。息子が寝るのが遅くなって大変でしたが、だんだんいとこたちと遊ぶようになってくれて嬉しかったです。

どうでしたか？今日のフレーズは「打って変わって」でしたね。意味は「がらりと変わって、完全に変わって」です。例文です。「この町は10年前とは打って変わって、とてもおしゃれな町になったね～。」「彼は前回とは打って変わって、とても優しかった。」それではまた、ばいばーい。

【今日の質問の解答】
①北部
②お肉を焼いたり、焚火をしたり、おしゃべりを楽しんでいた。
③フムスと丸いパン

English spelling can be difficult when there are many ways to write the vowel sounds.
There are many websites that convert text to speech so you can listen and read at the same time. Practice makes perfect!

How many ways to spell the long "a" sound, /eɪ/???!!!

After 15 months, three Israeli hostages have left Hamas captivity as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold on the morning of January 19.

Dozens of Palestinian prisoners also walked free from Israeli jail as the skies above Gaza and Israel were silent for the first time in over a year, stirring modest hopes for ending the Israel-Hamas war.

The ceasefire deal, with an initial phase lasting six weeks, calls for the entry into Gaza of 600 trucks carrying humanitarian relief daily. Over the course of the deal's first stage, 33 Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza will also be released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Many Israelis stayed glued to TV screens to glimpse the three hostages — Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher — being released as militants handed them over to the Red Cross on a packed street in Gaza City.

In videos released by the Israeli government, the women were seen weeping and hugging family members. Damari raised a bandaged hand in triumph.

The military said she lost two fingers in the Hamas-led militant attack on October 7, 2023, that killed over 1,200 people and resulted in the abduction of some 250 others.

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, crowds flooded the streets around 1 a.m. on January 20 as white buses carrying 90 Palestinian detainees — all women or teens — exited the gates of Ofer prison.

Fireworks erupted, and several men climbed atop one of the buses to raise Hamas flags.

All of those being released had been detained for what Israel called offenses related to its security, from throwing stones and promoting violence on social media to more serious accusations such as attempted murder.

Khalida Jarrar, one of the freed detainees, told The Associated Press: "There's this double feeling we're living in, on the one hand, this feeling of freedom, that we thank everyone for, and on the other hand, this pain, of losing so many Palestinian martyrs."
