我的小猫 我有一只小猫，它叫小黑，因为它是黑色的。它长得很可爱，也很小，只有手掌(palm)那么大，它喜欢吃鱼和香肠 (sausage)。它经常跳上(jump)我的桌子看着我，我常常把它抱在怀里抚摸它。冬天的时候，它常常睡在我的床上，，当它想吃东西的时候，它会 喵喵地叫。我很喜欢它，可是后来它死了，我非常伤心地把它埋(bury)了。我希望它在天堂(heaven)可以过得很好。

f you're going to exercise, you have to stretch, right?

Well, maybe not.

The answer might depend on your goals, and what you mean by "stretch."

There are different types of stretches.

In what are known as "static" stretches, you hold a single position for perhaps as long as 60 to 90 seconds. These stretches are great for increasing flexibility.

But there are also "dynamic" stretches, where you repeatedly — but carefully — move your joints through their full range of motion.

Expert opinion on how to use these stretches has changed over the years. But it's now generally believed that dynamic stretching is best before you exercise, while static stretching is better after.

As Alisa Bowman writes for the Mayo Clinic, dynamic stretching helps improve blood flow and joint mobility, which gets your body ready to exercise. Studies have even found that dynamic stretching before exercise can improve your performance.

Meanwhile, some research has found that static stretching can temporarily weaken your muscles, which is why it's generally no longer recommended before certain sports — and especially not for high-performance athletes.

Instead, static stretches are typically recommended for helping to relax your muscles after exercise. Since you've been moving and increasing blood flow to your joints and muscles, you'll actually be more flexible, so you'll get more benefit from those stretches.

But while you may have been told that stretching will reduce soreness after you exercise, research has found that it really doesn't make much difference.

You've also probably been told to stretch to avoid injuries. But research doesn't seem to support that either — especially for static stretching.

Writing for WebMD, Sonya Collins says that, as long as you stretch sometime, it's fine if you don't do it around the time you exercise.

In fact, some experts say if you're short on time, it's better to exercise without doing any stretching than to cut your workout short!

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。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回は確定申告について。
これは、Final tax return。

どこの国でも同じだと思いますが、
所得を計算して、税金の申告をするのが確定申告です。
これはフリーランスの話。

フリーランスの人は2/16-3/15の間に、
去年1年の収入、経費、所得、株の配当金、保険、医療費、など、すべての金額を申告します。

それで所得税や住民税などが決まります。



会社員の人は、会社で年末調整をします。
これは、Year-end adjustment。
去年の11月中にします。

先に税金を一定の金額、納めています。
だいたいが少し多く払っています。
払いすぎています。

この年末調整では、会社が従業員の正しい税金を計算して、払いすぎていた税金を返す、というものです。

　
税金の話はめんどくさいですけど、大切ですね。

みなさんの国では、どんな税金がありますか？

ぜひそんなことを教えてください！

ということで、今回は以上です！

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！
