NOVEMBER COMPETITION!
We all know how difficult it can be to stay motivated when learning languages, so this month, English In A Teacup is holding a little competition for its listeners. The winners of the competition will get a personal shout out on the podcast and will also get to decide the next topic for Season 2 of my podcast coming out in December. 
To join, send me a message on italki and I will send you the form to fill in. 
In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we will be continuing with the topic of inversions as well as learning how to write letters.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who will be writing her own letter to a travel agency to complain about her holiday from hell. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

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。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。

日本は1/1から地震があり、今も行方不明者がいたり、大変な状況が続いていますね。

それで、今回は日本に住んでいる外国人、日本語学習者向けに、地震の前に準備しておくことを話します。

これはNHKの情報を参考にします。

① 水や食べ物を準備する

大きな地震が起こると、
電気が止まったり、水道やガスが出なくなることがあります。

買い物に行けなくなったり、スーパーに物がなくなります。
簡単に食べられるものを準備しましょう。

ちなみに、水は1人1日2リットル必要だと言われています。

避難する時に持っていくかばんを準備しておきましょう。
2日分ぐらいの服や食べ物、ラジオやライトを用意しましょう。

② どこに逃げるか調べる

地震などで危険を感じた時は、近くの避難場所に逃げましょう。

避難所マップと検索すると、Yahoo!のサイトで近い避難場所を調べることができます。

避難場所マップ - Yahoo!天気・災害


はい、ということで、いかがでしょうか？

いつも準備をしていると、いざという時、困りません。
特に日本に住んでいる外国人の方は、2.3日生活できるようにカバンにいろいろ入れておくといいと思います。



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！

#429 地震が来る前に、について！

Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11jcxR3gxex8GKbcaswqp2g1txJwM47czLNFpGY2yXLw/edit?usp=sharing

Today, I want to tell you all about emotional support chickens. It seems that a nursing home here in the UK has been offered chickens by a local school in order to take away the loneliness of it’s residents and help them feel better.

Nursing Homes and Care Homes are places where we put older people who cannot look after themselves.

It's hoped that the chickens will bring residents a number of benefits. From fostering a sense of community to reducing mental health problems. Now, I'm not sure about you but for me, I'd probably rather have the cash or if  there’s perhaps other opportunities, maybe I’d prefer to talk to someone. These chickens don't actually have to be bought.It looks like they were given free to this nursing home. 

But still, if they're going to give away chickens, I'd rather have the cash.
