#1　朝の日課

みなさん、こんにちは。日本語教師の亜希子です。

いつもインスタグラムやYoutubeを見てくださって、本当にありがとうございます。

今日のテーマは、「朝の日課」についてです。私は「朝型人間」です。みなさんはこの言葉を聞いたことがありますか？朝型人間というのは、英語でmorning person、つまり早起きして、朝から活動的な人のことを言います。反対に「夜型人間」というのは、night owl、夜遅くまで起きて、夜に活動的な人のことを言います。

私は朝型人間なので、朝５時に起きます。よく周りの人からびっくりされますが、少し早く寝れば５時に起きるのはそんなに難しくありません。

私は朝の雰囲気が好きです。窓から見える青白い風景、鳥の鳴き声、少し冷たい風・・・どれも心が落ち着きます。

朝は必ずコップ一杯の水の飲み、その後、コーヒーを淹れます。そしてそのコーヒーを飲みながら、少し仕事をします。朝は頭がすっきりしているし、元気があるので、クリエイティブな仕事が捗ります。

今朝はこのポッドキャストの原稿を書いていました。なるべく分かりやすい言葉を使って書いているつもりですが、いかがでしょうか？感想が聞けると嬉しいです。

少し仕事をした後は、運動をします。だいたい10分～20分ぐらいです。その日の気分で、ヨガをしたり、HIITをしたりします。HIITとは、High-Intensity Interval Trainingのことです。短い時間なので、無理なく続けられるのがとても良いです。おススメですよ。

みなさんの朝の日課は何でしょうか？みなさんは朝型人間ですか？それとも夜型人間ですか？ぜひお気軽にコメントを残してくださいね。

それではまた次回のポッドキャストでお会いしましょう。
さようなら！

IELTS Preparation. Band 8-9 Answers. Part 3 - Gifts. Question 3.

Saudi Arabia scored a big win in its campaign to attract major sports events to the kingdom when it was formally named as the 2034 men's soccer World Cup host on December 11.

For the last year, there hasn't been too much doubt that Saudi Arabia would be confirmed as host, as the only other contender — Australia — had withdrawn from the contest to host the World Cup.

Awarding the tournament to Saudi Arabia has been seen as controversial by some soccer observers.

That's mostly because of the country's human rights record. Some have said that Saudi Arabia is using sports to divert attention from social or environmental problems, something that's known as sportswashing.

Saudi Arabia has denied this is the case.

The World Cup may be a number of years away but there are a lot of questions that need to be answered about the tournament, from where games will be played to how workers' rights will be protected.

Saudi Arabia aims to host all 104 games, though there has been speculation that some games could be played in neighboring or nearby countries.

Currently, 15 stadiums have been proposed, although eight are still on paper. They include a 92,000-seat venue planned in Riyadh and another near the capital that's set to be on top of a 200-meter cliff.

The timing may also be an issue. The tournament may have to be moved from the traditional period of June and July to the cooler months of November and December.

This also happened for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, although it wasn't a move that was popular among European soccer clubs, who had their domestic seasons interrupted.

The question of workers' rights was also discussed before and during the competition in Qatar. Saudi Arabia has promised to reform and enforce labor laws, and fully respect migrant workers, but some human rights groups are skeptical.

In the meantime, there are still World Cups in 2026 and 2030 to think about!
