Wyn's Way to English

Wyn's Way to English - "Break the ice"

Today we're talking about work like balance. This is one of the most important topics that we discuss with our colleagues and friends so today I want to give you some vocabulary and ideas to make you more confident and fluent when speaking about this subject. Maybe you want to ask your boss if you can work from home, or maybe you're trying to protect your time and stop working on weekends! Hopefully today's podcast can give you some tools, tips, and ideas for how to do this. We'll talk about some natural and native ways to talk about your journey to and from work and negotiating for more time when scheduling deadlines. Also, if you're taking the IELTS or TOEIC tests, hopefully you'll find some useful, natural, and native sounding vocabulary here too that can improve your score.

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんpodcastのゆかりです。

私はこの前、トルコで羊(ひつじ)のスープをのみました。

羊(ひつじ)ですね。

はじめての味(あじ)に、とてもおどろきました。

そして、日本ではあまり羊を食べたことがないので・・
ちょっと口に合いませんでした。

このとき、

「これは、きらいです。」
「これ、おいしくないです。」
「これは、まずいです。」

と言うと、けっこう強(つよ)いですね。
強い表現(ひょうげん)です。

そのかわりに、
「これは、苦手(にがて)です。」
「これは口に合(あ)わないです。」

と言うことができます。

口に合う
口に合わない

とは、自分が好きか、きらいか、について言っています。
たとえば、

「この料理はちょっと口に合いません。」

といいます。
でも、その料理が"まずい"とは言っていませんね。
自分にとっては、合わない、ということです。

たとえば、
「日本のごはんはどうでしたか？
お寿司や納豆は食べましたか？」

「はい、お寿司も納豆も食べました。
でも、納豆は‥ちょっと、口に合わなかったです。」

といいます。

旅行をすると、いままで食べたことがない、料理(りょうり)に出会(であ)いますね。

かわった食べものにも、出会いますね。

旅行のたのしみだと思います。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。

01 白雪放假啦！Báixuě fàng jià la! Baixue is on holiday!

今天，白雪告诉我，下个星期她有七天的假期，这是她的年假。她跟我分享了她的计划。

放假的时候，她一点儿也不想待在家里。因为她非常喜欢运动，所以她打算下个星期每天都去锻炼锻炼。她觉得工作日的时候，每天待在办公室八九个小时，需要坐在电脑前面很长时间。如果不运动，身体会慢慢变得不健康。

星期一早上她打算去公园跑步；
星期二她可能去游泳；
星期三她和朋友们去打篮球；
星期四她想去小河边骑自行车；
星期五她会去爬山。
星期六她不出门儿，她得打扫一下儿她的家，然后喝喝咖啡看看书，好好儿休息一下儿。

她问我星期天有没有空，她想和我一起去买衣服，吃饭和看电影。我高兴地答应了！真希望星期天快点儿来呀！

Today, Bai Xue told me that she has seven days' holiday next week, which is her annual leave. She shared her plan with me.

She doesn't want to stay at home at all during the holiday. Because she likes sports very much, she plans to exercise every day next week. She felt that she needed to sit in front of the computer for a long time when she stayed in the office for 8 or 9 hours every day on weekdays. If don't exercise, body will slowly become unhealthy.

She is going to run in the park on Monday morning;

She may go swimming on Tuesday;

On Wednesday, she went to play basketball with her friends;

On Thursday, she wants to go cycling by the river;

She will go climbing on Friday.

She doesn't go out on Saturday. She has to clean her house, drink coffee, read books and have a good rest.


She asked me if I was free on Sunday. She wanted to go shopping, dinning out and watching movies with me. I said yes happily! I really hope this Sunday come soon!
