English Phrases and Idioms

A passenger was arrested at an Australian airport after he left a parked airplane through an emergency exit, walked along a wing, and then climbed down a jet engine to the ground.

Jetstar Flight JQ507 arrived at Melbourne Airport from Sydney on August 22. It was parked at a terminal gate when the man left the plane by the right-side exit, officials said.

Opening the exit deployed a slide from the back of the wing to the ground, a Jetstar statement said. But instead of going down the slide, the man walked along the wing and climbed down one of the Airbus A320's two engines.

Passenger Audrey Varghese said passengers screamed as the man started behaving erratically shortly before he opened the door.

She told Melbourne radio 3AW that as soon as the plane had started coming to a stop, the passenger went straight to the emergency exit row, pushing people out of the way, and opened the emergency door.

Another passenger told 9News that the man had been vaping — which is not allowed — during the 90-minute mid-morning flight and had unsuccessfully demanded the air crew provide him with alcohol.

Melbourne Airport said the man was detained by aircrew and ground staff before police arrested him.

"Melbourne Airport is proud of the exceptional response from ground crew, which meant there was no immediate danger to other passengers or airport staff," an airport statement said.

He was assessed by paramedics and taken to a hospital, a police statement said. Police will continue to investigate and charges are likely to be laid at a later date.

2023年の抱負
2023年になって早くも10日が過ぎました。みなさん、いかがお過ごしですか。
私は、今週から日本語学校での仕事も始まり、ちょっと忙しくなってきました。
学校では2クラス　週４つの授業を受け持ちます。2つのクラスの内、一つは前の学期も受け持ったクラスですが、もう一つは初めて受け持つクラスです。初めての授業は、内容に関わらず　緊張しました。早く、学生の顔と名前を覚えたいと思います。

ところで、みなさんは2023年をどんな年にしようと思っていますか。
私は、まず　「健康」！このコロナの3年間、在宅ワークをしていると、運動量がめっきり減って、どんどん大きくなってしまいました。10月に受けた健康診査の結果を見ても、痩せなくてはいけないことは明らかです。だから、月並みな目標ではありますが、
「ダイエット！マイナス15キロ」が今年の最優先事項です。
次に、「仕事」と「プライベート」の充実！仕事では、働くことを楽しみたいと思います。　日本語を教えることは、意外に難しいです。苦労もあります。でも、それ以上に様々な国の人たちと話すことは楽しいです。日本語を学習している人たちのお役に立てるように今年はもっとスキルアップしていきたいです。
「プライベート」では、今年は久しぶりに海外に旅行したいと思っています。ドイツに住んでいる友人が、遊びにおいで～と言ってくれているので、計画を立てるつもりです。
でも、ドイツ語を全然知らないので、旅行で使える簡単なことばを勉強しようと思います。私の2023年の目標としたいことは以上です。
みなさんの2023年が充実したいい年になることを願っています。


やさしい日本語（にほんご）

2023新年の抱負"New Year's Resolution2023"

Some people will spend lots of money to keep themselves feeling younger for longer.

But researchers believe there are actually plenty of cheap — and easy — ways to help keep our minds healthier as we get older.

And a new study has found that eating fish may be linked to a lower risk of cognitive decline.

An international team of researchers looked at 35 previous studies on the effects of eating fish on cognitive function.

They found that those who ate the most fish had a lower likelihood of cognitive decline compared to those who ate the least.

Cognitive decline — or impairment — refers to the difficulty that older adults have with thinking, learning, remembering, decision-making and concentrating.

But it's not just normal aging: the term is used to describe a situation where a person's brain functions have changed more than is usually expected as we get older.

It can happen suddenly or over time. And with more people living longer than ever before, experts think we will see more cases of cognitive decline, as well as more cases of conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

The study found that the risk of cognitive impairment decreased the more fish people ate, starting from about 50 grams per day.

However, the same pattern was not observed with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The study authors said that more research would be required to look into the effects of fish on these conditions.

In some parts of the world, fish are a very important part of the diet. But many people in countries like the UK and the US don't eat enough fish, experts say.

Fish contain a range of vitamins and minerals, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to brain and heart health.

However, some experts are worried that our polluted rivers, lakes and oceans are making fish less safe to eat.
