If you thought social media was just a place for viral dances and cat photos, think again.

Popular influencers on apps like TikTok and YouTube have been boosting book sales with their videos.

And many are watched by millions.

The BookTok community on TikTok has been influential in encouraging users — who are often young people — to buy real books in bookshops.

But a survey from 2022 found that YouTube is actually the most popular place for young people to discover new books on social media.

The survey was done in November 2022 by Nielsen Book Data. It found that in the UK, 34% of people aged between 14 and 25 used YouTube — which is known for its BookTube community — for their book ideas.

TikTok was used by 32%, and 27% went to Instagram to find out about new books.

Some reports in recent years have said that young people are reading less than ever. But according to The Guardian, people in the 14 to 25 age group bought around 61 million books in the UK in 2022.

This was 18% of all books bought.

And it's not just social media where they're finding reading recommendations.

The most common way to discover new books is by talking to friends. Forty-one percent said they do this, while 35% find out about their books by visiting bookshops.

The survey also reported that fantasy action and fantasy adventure stories are the most popular among young people.

Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

男：时间来到了9月1号，不仅是中小学，不少地方的幼儿园小朋友们也开学了。幼儿园迎来了整个学习里说是最忙碌的一天。
女：是，大家通常会把这一天称作叫“神兽归笼”。幼儿园呢确实变成了大型的“伤别离”现场。我们也看到网上有很多的视频引发了大家的热议，有网友就开玩笑说：“哇幼儿园开学第一天真的是听取哇声一片。”
男：是小朋友第一次离开家要出个小远门了哈。有嗷嗷大哭的，有含泪一步三回头的，也有搂着爸爸妈妈脖子，挂在身上不愿意下来的。老师呢恨不得长八只手，感觉哄不完，根本就哄不完。
女：其实爸爸妈妈也没好到哪儿去，因为他们的分离焦虑呀可能比孩子们更严重。
男：是，通过大家发布的视频呢我们总结了一下哈，比如说，有这个老父亲送完了萌娃回来一直抹眼泪的，有上一秒嘴上说着“解放了”下一秒却化身壁虎各种趴墙头偷看孩子的。
女：特别理解啊，为人父母的心情。你像幼儿园是孩子离开家庭独立成长的第一步，其实也是爸爸妈妈面临和孩子分离的第一步。这世上大部分的爱都是关乎拥有的，但唯独呢父母对子女的爱却应该是逐步放手的爱。所以啊，对于家长们来说呢，希望大家也要提前做好准备，也给孩子充分的信任和鼓励。
男：是，其实每一次流泪呢也都是孩子成长的一个契机，所以家长们也要相信孩子啊，当他们独立面对陌生环境的时候，将爆发出意想不到的小宇宙。

#002 iPhoneを衝動買いしました (I was an impulse buy iPhone)

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は27℃。暑いですが、北海道は風もあって涼しいです。


今日は天神祭(てんじんまつり)について。
前回は祇園祭でした。今回も日本三大祭りの1つ、天神祭の話をします。

天神祭とは、平安時代の貴族であり、政治家の菅原道真の命日(亡くなった日)にちなんだ祭のことです。

天神祭は大阪天満宮が建てられた951年より始まったとされています。
太鼓(たいこ)や神輿(みこし)が歩いて通る陸渡御(りくとぎょ)や、大川という大阪の川で神鉾(かみほこ)を流して、流れ着いた場所でおはらいをする船渡御(ふなとぎょ)、奉納花火があります。

歴史の中で、途切れたこともありますが、千年以上の時を超えて、今も続けられているというこの祭は、とても日本的な文化そのものですね。

私は、先日実際に見にくことができました。
とても親しみのある楽しい祭でした。
京都の祇園祭では、警備がしっかりされていて、行事を進める人と、観客が完全に別れていましたが、大阪の天神祭では、行事で歩いている人たちは、その途中でも、歩道で知り合いを見つけたら、あいさつと会話を交わしたり、時々、見にきている家族と写真を撮ったり。みんな楽しそうで、和やかな祭でした。

日本三大祭り、あともう一つの祭りは東京の神田祭、というものです。
見たことがないので、今は説明できませんが、また見る機会があれば、みなさんに紹介したいと思います。

今日も最後まで聴いていただきありがとうございます！
ではまた！
