はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の１回目です。シーズン１の最終回は７月でしたから、３ヶ月ぐらいお休みしていたことになります。お休みしている間にも、Youtubeでチャンネル登録者数が増えていました。どうもありがとうございます。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 1 of season 2. The last episode of season 1 was in July, so I was on a break for about three months. Even while I was on a break, the number of subscribers to my Youtube channel increased. Thank you very much.

この３ヶ月、私は何をしていたかというと、大学の入学準備を進めていました。私は大学で美術を勉強しましたが、もう一度大学に行って、今度は教育学を勉強することにしました。教育学では、教育史や、心理学や、社会学など、先生になるための勉強をします。京都に教育学で有名な大学があります。私は現在大阪に住んでいて、京都に電車で一時間ぐらいで行けるので、そこに行くことにしました。大学の授業はほとんどオンラインなので、仕事を続けながら受けることができます。大学は今月始まったばかりです。

What I have been doing for the past three months is preparing to go to university. Before, I studied art at university, but I have decided to go to university again, this time to study education. In education, I study the history of education, psychology, sociology, etc., in order to become a teacher. There is a university in Kyoto that is famous for education studies. I currently live in Osaka and can get to Kyoto by train in about an hour, so I have decided to go there. Most of the university’s classes are online, so I can take them while continuing to work. The university classes just started this month.

大学ではたくさん本を読んで、レポートを書かなければいけません。レポートは3000字ぐらい必要です。私は今、教育原論についての本を読んでいます。この本は、私が行っている大学の教授が書いた本です。この本には、教育というシステムがどのように始まったかとか、どこの国でどんな教育が行われたかなどが書いてあります。ヨーロッパや日本の教育の歴史を勉強します。そして、現代の教育の課題について考えます。現代の教育では、貧富の差や、社会的マイノリティーへの教育、不登校などが問題になっています。「貧富の差」とは、お金持ちの人と貧乏な人のギャップのことです。「不登校」とは、生徒が学校に行かないことです。

〈#64〉5月24日火曜日　道東　野菜などが順調　

In today's episode we learn an anecdote about the American tourists who once met the Queen and had no idea who she was. Here's the story. 

Key Vocabulary:
An anecdote   /ˈanɪkdəʊt/   noun  = a short, interesting story about a real incident or person.
To play a prank on someone = To carry out a trick, deception, or practical joke on someone.
To pull someone's leg  =  to deceive someone playfully; tease someone.
Cantankerous	/kanˈtaŋk(ə)rəs/ adjective   = bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative.
To be a fly on the wall =  you would like to hear what will be said or see what will happen while not being noticed

Former Royal Protection Officer, Richard Griffin said he and the Queen met the American hikers one day while they were walking near Balmoral Castle, her holiday home in Scotland.
"The Queen would always stop and say hello," Griffin said. "And it was clear from the moment we first stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen."
Griffin said one of the Americans asked the Queen where she lived.
"She said, 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home near here,"' Griffin recalled. 
The hiker then asked if she had ever met Queen Elizabeth.
"Well I haven't, but Richard here meets her regularly," the Queen replied.
The hiker then turned to Griffin and asked: "Oh, you've met the Queen? What's she like?"
"I decided to pull her leg, so I said, 'she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour".
The American then got his camera out, and gave it to the Queen, asking if she could take a picture of him with the royal protection officer. "Then we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the Queen and we waved goodbye". "The Queen said to me, 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to their friends —  hopefully someone tells him who I am.'"
