Cultura Brasileira com a Ju

In this story, an elephant named Eleven does whatever it takes to maintain peace, even using violence. This is Part 4 of 5. 

As Eleven watched the thieves creep forward, he considered what course of action to take. He could tell the monkeys about the thieves, possibly causing a physical fight to break out. Or he could stop the thieves himself, either scaring them off with his roar or his powerful tusks. Either way, conflict was unavoidable. 

Peace was Eleven’s his highest value. If anything attempted to disrupt it, he made sure to remove it from his life. He saw himself as a protector of peace. It never occurred to him that he might have been actually afraid of healthy conflict.
 
So, believing there to be no ethical dilemma, Eleven decided to conceal the thieves’ robbery. This way the thieves would get what they want, the monkeys would only realize after the fact, and, most importantly, Eleven could get back to his relaxing day in the sun.  

Eleven positioned himself in such a way as to block any view of the robbery. The fox and wild chicken snatched the bananas and made their way for the bushes. However, at that exact moment, one of the monkeys, having climbed up a tree and swung itself into the river, was flying through the air and saw the robbery. 

Splashing into the river, the monkey screamed and shrieked, trying its best to alert the others. But they were too busy slapping each other to notice anything.
 
In an instant, without giving the moment proper reflection, only thinking about his own interests and his self-appointed duty, Eleven forcefully swung his trunk and whacked the shrieking monkey, who flew with great speed into the dense forest and out of sight.

Knowing Everything About Chinese Cultrue

10Traditional Chinese Medicine

有点 (yǒudiǎn) and 一点 (yīdiǎn) both translate to "a little" or "slightly" in English. However, they are used slightly differently in Chinese.

有点 (yǒudiǎn) is used to describe a small amount or degree of something. It is often used to describe an adjective or an adjective phrase. For example:

这个电影有点好看 (zhège diànyǐng yǒudiǎn hǎokàn) means "this movie is a little bit good-looking."
这个饭有点辣 (zhège fàn yǒudiǎn là) means "this meal is a little spicy."
一点 (yīdiǎn) is used to describe a small amount or degree of something, but it is often used to describe a noun or a verb. For example:

我想吃一点苹果 (wǒ xiǎng chī yīdiǎn píngguǒ) means "I want to eat a little bit of apples."
我会说一点中文 (wǒ huì shuō yīdiǎn zhōngwén) means "I can speak a little bit of Chinese."
In general, 一点 (yīdiǎn) is more commonly used than 有点 (yǒudiǎn) in Chinese. However, both can be used to describe a small amount or degree of something, and the choice between them depends on the context and the specific word or phrase that they are modifying.

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

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

最近のNHKのニュースで、10月の日本への訪日外国人が250万人を越えた、というニュースを見ました。

これはコロナが始まる前、2019年の同じ月より多いようです。

内訳は、
韓国が63万人
台湾が42万人
中国が25万人
アメリカが21万人
です。

日本を好きな人たちが日本を訪れてくれいるのはとても嬉しいです。ですが、円安も大きな影響であることを忘れてはいけないですね。そして、物価、物の値段も安いと思います。時には安すぎるかもしれないです。

食べ物や清潔さなどはとてもクオリティ、品質が高いと思います。海外と比べると、そういう素晴らしい物が時々安すぎると思います。

さらに、たとえ会社の売上が上がっても、働く人の給料は簡単には上がりません。

そして働く人の給料がなかなか上がらないことは、日本人の生活が良くならない大きな理由です。

たくさんの人が日本を訪れるのはとても良いことですし、いいチャンスです。こういうタイミングで、日本の中もいろいろ変わっていくと良いなと思います。

みなさんの国の観光客はどの国の人が多いですか？
それはなぜですか？

あなたはどこの国に行きたいですか？
それはなぜですか？

そんな話をたくさんしましょう！

もしぼくと話したい！と思った方はオンラインレッスンでお待ちしています！

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！
