002 Making a Blueberry Pie

arrator: Elvis Presley was born to a very poor family in Mississippi in the south of the United States in 1935. His twin brother died at birth, and he was an only child. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee thirteen years later. As a teenager, Elvis was interested in all kinds of music and wore colorful clothes with a distinctive hairstyle that he kept for much of his life.
Narrator: In 1954, Sam Phillips, a music producer at Sun Records in Memphis, asked Elvis to come in for an audition. When he played a song that he had composed himself, Phillips recognized the young man’s talent. He offered Elvis a contract and put together a three-piece band for him. They played blues and country music that they knew from the radio, night clubs and churches with both black and white members. The band had a big hit later that year with a cover of a song by Arthur Crudup called, “That’s All Right,” using a style called rockabilly. Their popularity took off in the southern states as people saw them perform in local venues and even heard them on national radio programs.
Narrator: In 1956, Elvis met Colonel Tom Parker, who became his manager and organized a contract with RCA Records in New York. As the hits kept on coming, he changed over to a more rock and roll sound and performed in numerous TV shows and in films.
Narrator: However, in 1958, Elvis was drafted into the army and gave up performing for a couple of years. When he finished his military service, he returned to his music career and during the 1960s he made more than thirty movies and recorded lots of songs. He also married and had a daughter.
Narrator: In 1968, Elvis performed in a Christmas TV special, which boosted his popularity for a while. Between 1969 and 1976, he also put on hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, with tickets regularly selling out. However, in the 1970s, his career started to go downhill, partly because of his lifestyle. He was living in Graceland, a mansion in Memphis that he had bought in 1957.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日は日本人が意識している、また国としても大切にしている、防災について話します。

みなさんの国では、防災の意識は高いですか？
日本は災害が多い国です。ですので、防災の意識はとても高いと思います。特に2011年の東日本大震災があって、さらに高まったと思います。家には災害時に持っていくための防災グッズなどを用意している人も多いです。

また、9/1は防災の日とされていて、会社や地域などで防災訓練が行われます。他の国ではこういうことはあるんでしょうか。

防災グッズに入れているものはこんな感じです。

		飲料水
		食料
		衛生用品・生理用品
		医薬品
		貴重品
		照明器具
		情報収集ツール
		毛布・寝袋
		災害用調理器具
		簡易トイレ

このような物を入れています。
私の家では、少し服も入れていますね。

水や食べ物はローリングストック、といって、避難グッズの中のものも定期的に食べながら、賞味期限切れにならないように気をつける、ということもよく言われています。

日本の災害発生数のトップ3は、
台風
地震
洪水
だそうです。

台風は毎回、日本列島を通ります。
被害もよく出ます。

私は直接大きな被害にあったことはありません。
ですが、いつあうかわからない、という気持ちはいつもあります。

少し心配になるトピックだったかもしれませんが、日本人は防災の意識は高いので、何かあっても対応する力はあると思います。みなさん、日本に来る時、もし何か起こっても、周りの日本人が助けてくれると思いますので、助けを求めてくださいね！

ということで、今回は防災について話しました。
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！

90  防災について

How long do you want a movie to last? When do you start looking at your watch and wonder when you can leave the darkness of the cinema?

Or maybe it doesn't matter because you watch everything on streaming services, and you can pause anytime you like.

But according to a survey from the US, the perfect movie length is 92 minutes — about the same as a soccer match.

A polling company called Talker Research asked 2,000 people how long movies should be.

Only about 2% said they thought movies should be longer than two and a half hours, while just 15% want to watch a movie that's more than two hours long.

Movies like Dodgeball, Kung Fu Panda and Toy Story 2 are all about 92 minutes long.

But data suggests that the most popular movies are getting longer and longer.

A website called What to Watch found that the average length of the most successful movies has increased from 110 minutes in 1981 to 141 minutes in 2022.

The Guardian reports that nine out of the top 10 most successful films of all time are longer than two hours. Three of them are longer than three hours.

However, some say it's not the length of the film that's important, but how good it is.

There are really long films that feel much shorter because they're so interesting, and there are shorter movies that you wish would just end fast!
