Join me in a reading of the classic 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore first written in 1823.  This story was the inspiration for the modern-day image of Santa Claus.  Some of the words are outdated, but it remains a charming tale enjoyed by children during the Christmas season.

Episode 1:  Twas the night before Christmas

इस कहानी से हमें यह शिक्षा मिलती है कि यह ज़रूरी नहीं कि एक कमजोर और ताकतवर में से हमेशा ताकतवर ही जीते। अगर कमजोर चाहे तो अपनी अक्ल से बड़े से बड़े ताकतवर को हरा सकता है।

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

いま、日本では、東京(とうきょう)にひっこす人が増(ふ)えています。

そんなニュースをみました。

東京にひっこす人が増えています。

東京は人気なんですね。

ひっこしをする、生活する場所をかえることです。

たとえば、

"この4月から東京へひっこしをします。
東京の大学に通います。"

"去年(きょねん)、
大阪(おおさか)から神戸(こうべ)へ、
仕事(しごと)のために、ひっこしをしました。"

と言います。

ニュースにもどります。

きょねんの一年間で、

東京から、ひっこしをした人は、
つまり出て行った人は、
約38万人でした。

東京に、ひっこしてきた人は、
つまり入ってきた人は、
約45万人でした。

たくさんの人がうごいています。

でも、ひっこしをしてきた人の方が多いですね。
日本でいちばん人口(じんこう)が多いのが東京都(とうきょうと)です。
2番目(にばんめ)はどこか知っていますか？


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！

Online reviews are everywhere, whether you're looking for a movie to watch, a hotel to stay in or a new air fryer.

Many of us read these reviews carefully, even though we probably know that not all reviews are unbiased — or even real.

Now, researchers have found out something interesting about online reviews: women generally rate things higher than men.

The researchers looked at more than 1 billion online reviews on five different websites, including Amazon, Google and the movie site IMDb.

They found that, on average, women rate things more positively than men, and are more likely to give five-star reviews.

The research team then did two smaller studies to find out why this might be. They said women don't actually like things any more or any less than men, but they still generally leave better reviews.

In one of those smaller studies, more than 1,100 people were asked to rate art made by artificial intelligence software. They were asked to rate the art privately and then publicly.

Privately, there was not much of a difference between male and female ratings.

But when participants were asked to write public reviews, women were less likely to post lower ratings, especially when they really didn't like the art.

The researchers said women may feel more worried than men about the consequences of writing bad reviews.

They added that everyone should be able to write reviews without being worried about the consequences.
