A short Halloween story that will send shivers down your spine

English My Way

The haunting of Hollybrook Manor.

Today we have two idioms that both mean the same thing. They mean to ignore someone while they're doing something wrong, or maybe just to pretend not to notice. They are to "turn a blind eye" and to "look the other way". I hope you enjoy today's short episode!

Poisson Rouge.
Poisson Rouge en a assez de tourner en rond dans son bocal.
- Peux-tu m'aider à sortir ? demande-t-il à Hoquet le perroquet.
- Où veux-tu aller ? Tu ne sais pas marcher, pas voler, tu vas mourir si je te sors de l’eau.
- Je veux nager dans la baignoire, s’il te plaît, aide-moi !
Hoquet attrape Poisson Rouge par une nageoire et le dépose dans la baignoire. Quelle joie ! Il rencontre un étrange poisson.
- Bonjour, dit-il, comment allez-vous ?
- C'est une éponge, dit le perroquet en riant, elle sert à laver les enfants.
- Vite, replace-moi dans mon bocal, on pourrait me prendre pour une éponge, dit Poisson Rouge. Demain, je voudrais nager dans la mer, tu pourras m’y emmener ?
- Non, dit Hoquet, tu es mon seul ami, tu pourrais être mangé par un requin et j’aurais trop de chagrin.

Histoire 26 - Poisson Rouge

エピソード74　やっぱり練習は大切
きのう(2024年12月25日）、バイオリン教室のウインターコンサートがありました。
バイオリンで4曲の合奏をしました。
・パッフェルベル「カノン」
・モンティ　「チャールダッシュ」
・モーツアルト「アイネクライネナハトムジーク」
・バッハ「2つのバイオリンのための協奏曲」第1楽章
コンサートに向けて　毎日　短い時間でも　練習をしました。
私はこれまでの発表会ではいつもボロボロでした。でも、今回は違いました。
当日、完璧ではなかったけれども、コンサートで　うまく弾けました。それは、たくさん練習して自信ができたからだと思います。語学の学習も同じだと思います。練習をして　話してみる。うまく言えなければ、また練習して　トライする。それが　大切だと思います。みなさんの日本語学習も応援しています。

やさしい日本語（にほんご）

やっぱり練習（れんしゅう）は大切　The Power of Practice！

Speaker: Princess Elizabeth was born in London in 1926. She grew up in London with her younger sister and they were educated at home. She was not expected to become queen when she was born, but in 1936, her uncle King Edward VIII gave up the throne and her father became King George the Sixth. As she had no brothers, Elizabeth would become the next ruler.

Speaker: In 1947, she got engaged to her third cousin, Philip Mountbatten. In 1952, while she was visiting Kenya, the death of King George was announced, and Elizabeth returned immediately to England. She was crowned at Westminster Abbey on the second of June, 1953. For the first time ever, the ceremony was shown on TV and watched by millions of people around the world.

Speaker: Elizabeth’s role as queen was mostly ceremonial: she opened Parliament, met government ministers and signed new laws. However, she was not allowed to express her own political opinions. She also represented Great Britain abroad, visiting countries in the Commonwealth and other nations around the world. The Queen was always instantly recognizable in her classic outfit of matching dress, coat, hat and handbag.

Speaker: Elizabeth loved dogs - corgis were her favorite breed. She also bred and raced horses. Every year at Christmas, the Queen spoke to the nation on TV. In 1992, she described a particularly difficult year, as several of her children’s marriages broke up and a fire destroyed part of her home in Windsor Castle.

Speaker: Elizabeth celebrated many anniversaries and became the longest serving king or queen in British history. Some people felt that a royal family was too expensive for the country, so after 2012, she reduced spending and received less money from the government. Many people continued to find the royal family interesting, as shown by the popularity of TV shows about the Queen and her family, such as The Crown.

Speaker: Philip died in 2021 and the Queen died a year later. Her son became King Charles the Third...
