 今年夏天很特别，从中国到外国，北方到南方，天气都非常热，温度也特别高。比如上海，夏天一般在三十五度左右。可是今年夏天有多热呢？最热的那段时间差不多每天都有四十多度。大家都说，这是最近二十年最热的夏天。有的专家说这是因为气候变化，环境被破坏了，以后全世界每年都会有这种不正常的天气，我们必须开始重视保护环境了。

In Shanghai, for example, it's usually around 35 degrees in summer. But how hot will it be this summer? During the hottest days, it was more than 40 degrees every day. By all accounts, it was the hottest summer in the last twenty years. Some experts say that this is because of climate change, the environment is destroyed, the world will have this abnormal weather every year, we must start to pay attention to the protection of the environment.

こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですか？私は元気ですよ～！今日は「サウジの民族衣装」についてお話ししたいと思います。
サウジなどの湾岸諸国では男性は白い衣装を着ます。地域によって呼び名は異なりますが、サウジではトーブやソーブ（Thobe)と呼ばれています。長袖で長いタイトスカートのような感じです。中に白くて長いパンツをはきます。素材は基本的にはコットンで通気性がよく暑い気候に適しています。冬はウールなどの暖かい素材を使っていて、黒やグレーなどの暗い色のトーブが人気です。安いもので3,000円、オーダーメイドだと3万円以上することもあります。カジュアルなものだと、ジッパー付きや2色使いなどいろんなデザインのものがあります。Wikipediaによると、生地は輸入に頼っていて、なんと日本製が約40%を占めているとのことです。中東と日本の意外なつながりを発見しましたね！
着るタイミングはというと、役所などでの仕事、役所や警察署、結婚式などフォーマルな場で着たり、家族の集まりや普段のお出かけなど日常的に着る人も多いです。白であればフォーマルな場でもカジュアルな場でもどちらでも大丈夫です。
そして先日、家でサウジの東側の伝統的なハロウィーンのような子供のパーティーがあり、息子に初めてトーブを買いました。白い普通のトーブです。イベント用のトーブもありますが、他のときにも使えるように白にしました。トーブを着ると、すっかりサウジの子供に見えました。ちゃんとトーブを着てパーティーを楽しんでくれて良かったです。

それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！

第32回：サウジの民族衣装~Saudi national dress~

This episode describes the journey from the airport to the hotel, and gives you the vocabulary you may need for taking the underground. 
Please also use this for pronunciation.

Now that I’ve gone through customs and found my way out, I have to find transport. I go past the welcoming committee of people thronging to greet their loved ones, and look for signs that show bus, car, or train. 

I decide to take the train or underground railway. It’s called the Metro, the Underground, or the Tube in most countries. I have to ask about the best ticket for my journeys around the city, so I go to the ticket counter to get help. Once I know what I want, I can just use my debit or credit card and go to the self-service kiosk. 

I buy my ticket, and pass through the ticket barriers to go down the escalators to the floors below. I keep reading the boards to see if I’m going in the right direction.  It’s a long walk, and I sometimes have to carry my suitcase down the stairs. I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t just have taken a taxi. 

Some people offer to help, and, because it’s so heavy and no one could just run away with my luggage, I agree gratefully. 

The Tube is crowded, but I manage to find a seat. I listen carefully for my stop, and hop onto the platform. 

Once I’m out of the Tube station, I see my hotel across the road, so I go through the entranceway into the lobby. At least this hotel doesn’t have revolving doors, because it’s really awkward to manage that when you have baggage. 

I go straight across the lobby to the clerk at the reception desk. I tell them I have booked a room and tell them my name. They ask me for my passport or other identity document. I give it to them. I go to my room and the valet brings my luggage. I give him or her a tip.

I unpack my bag into the cupboards and drawers. I take a shower with the freshly laid out towels. I am now ready for my exploration in the town.

Please feel free to book a lesson with me. #knowmyteacher #pronunciation
