Rédaction professionnelle : Comment rédiger des courriels, rapports et documents d'affaires de manière claire et efficace (C1-C2)

In the vocabulary of 'Minna no Nihongo' Chapter 1, there are the words ”きょうし”  and ”せんせい” . Do you understand the difference? Both translate to 'teacher,' but ”きょうし” generally refers to school teachers, with a few exceptions. For example, it does not refer to those who teach at cram schools . On the other hand, ”せんせい” has a broader meaning. At this point in Lesson 1, you might not need to worry too much about it, but I will explain.

Of course, school teachers are included, but also instructors at cram schools, doctors, politicians, and sports instructors can all be called '先生.' In Lesson 17 on page 145, there is a conversation between a doctor and Matsumoto-san, and if Matsumoto-san were to refer to this doctor, they would normally call them “せんせい” not ”いしゃ” , which means ”doctor.”

This might change the subject a bit, but regarding my 'Minna no Nihongo course,' I have created a substantial amount of homework with audio. Just taking lessons alone won't significantly improve your skills. I believe this homework will be quite effective. Of course, it is not mandatory; whether to do it or not depends on the students. 
For those who want to start Japanese lessons but aren’t sure where to begin, please give it a try.

Alright. So everyone, please do your best with Japanese. See you again!

너에게 감사

사랑하는 사람들 사이에서는
더 많이 사랑하는 사람이
단연코 약자라는 비밀

어제도 지고
오늘도 지고
내일도 지는 일방적인 줄다리기

지고서도 오히려
기분이 나쁘지 않고
홀가분하기까지 한 게임

사랑하는 사람들 사이에서는
더 많이 지는 사람이
끝내는 승자라는 비밀

그걸 깨닫게 해준 너에게
감사한다.

Are You 'Happy-Go-Lucky?'
Is there someone in your life who is always happy? Or maybe someone who brings you a lot of joy? If so, here are some expressions you can use to describe them.

For example, some people call their baby a "bundle of joy." The expression probably comes from the practice of putting babies in blankets, which makes them look like a bundle.

So not long after you were born, your mother could have said to a friend, "Would you like to meet my little bundle of joy?"

A person who doesn't worry about things going wrong and lives their life in a relaxed and happy way can be described as "happy-go-lucky." The expression was first used in print in 1672, but back then it meant "whatever is going to happen will happen."

So if you were worried about your first day of school, your mother might have told you, "Just be your usual happy-go-lucky self, and you'll make lots of friends."

If someone is very happy, you can say they are "as happy as Larry," an expression that comes from either Australia or New Zealand. Some say it refers to Larry Foley, an Australian boxer from the late 19th century who never lost a fight. Others say it refers to the word "larrie" which meant "joke," or to "larrikins," — young men that caused trouble in Australian and New Zealand cities.

So if you came home from school smiling because you had a good time, your mother could have said, "You look as happy as Larry!"

Are You 'Happy-Go-Lucky?'

Este cuento transcurre en un intervalo de tres trillones de años Iniciando en el año 2061. 

Dos técnicos de sistemas trabajan asistiendo a Multivac, una gigantesca computadora de kilómetros de tamaño que ayudó a trazar las trayectorias para el hombre llegar a la Luna, Marte y Venus. El 14 de mayo de 2061 Multivac cumplió su tarea más importante: almacenar la energía del Sol y utilizarla en el planeta Tierra. 

Aunque la felicidad era inmensa porque la energía obtenida era suficiente para abastecer todos los gastos energéticos de la humanidad por 20 mil millones de años,  aun así, el sol y todas las estrellas en el universo moriran y  por lo tanto  la civilización humana. ¿Sabría Multivac como devolver toda la energía al sol después de que este muriera?.  Los técnicos le preguntaron. Multivac no tenía datos suficientes para responder. 

Multivac  evolucionó en ACs planetarias: computadoras de 150 kilómetros cuadrados, que habían hecho posible los viajes interestelares y los saltos hiperespaciales. Luego de esta, vino la Microvac, con un tamaño mucho menor que las AC’s planetarias y mucho más poderosa que Multivac.

Con la ayuda de una Microvac se trasladaba Jerrodd, Jerrodine y Jerrodette I y II desde la Tierra hasta el planeta X-23. Microvac conducía  la nave, la abastecía de energía y realizaba los cálculos para los saltos hiperespaciales.

Durante el recorrido Jerrodine pensaba en la cantidad de planetas y estrellas, y como las siguientes generaciones de humanos seguirian viajando a otros planetas en busca de un lugar para vivir.

Jerrodd hizo caer en cuenta a Jerrodine de que esa dinámica no iba a durar para siempre porque las estrellas, las unidades fundamentales de energía iban a morir en algún momento, ¡la entropía debe aumentar!. ¿Será que Microvac tendría alguna solución para esto?. Todavía no tenía datos suficientes para responder.
