5 idioms

Today I’m going to talk about a new system, the face pass for station ticket gate. 
It is the test stage before the full-scale operation. 
I have doubts if this system can recognize correctly who I am. 
Why do I doubt it? Please listen this story! Thank you!

先日、新聞に駅の改札に「顔パス」で通過できる改札機を試験的に導入するという記事が載っていました。　改札を「顔パス」で通過するには、あらかじめ顔写真を登録しておく必要があるそうです。　毎日　同じ駅を使って　会社に行く人や学校に行く人たちにとっては、とても便利なシステムだと思います。
すでに、「顔」をパスワード替わりに使っているアプリが普通に使われています。例えば、銀行口座のアプリでは、顔認証と暗証番号の入力のいずれかでアクセスできるようになっています。　
実は、この顔認証に私は少々不便を感じています。最初に顔を登録したとき、私はばっちり化粧をして眼鏡をかけていました。　そのため、眼鏡をかけていなかったり、寝起きの化粧をしていない顔だと本人だと認識してくれないのです。　間違いなく本人なのに、化粧をしているかしていないか、眼鏡をかけているかいないかで、本人かどうかがわからないのです。これって、なんだか変ですよね。　化粧をしていない、眼鏡をかけていない顔が　本当の私の顔のはずなのに、アプリに「本人ではありません」と判断されているのですから。
きっと、これから駅の改札に導入される「顔パス」機能も、同じようなことが起こるのじゃないかと思っています。。　そう考えると、「顔パス」登録用の顔とスタイルを決めておかなくてはいけません。　そうしなければ、私が登録していない顔で通るたびに、改札が開かずに渋滞が起きてしまいますからね。
今日は新しい駅の改札についてお話しました。


やさしい日本語（にほんご）

Face pass for the station ticket gate 駅の顔パス改札

A daily reading practice for you for today!

Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

Sheila, aged 59, says, 'I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did it when I was a child, but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.'

Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17 – but they're not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. 'It's my alarm clock so I have to,' she says. 'I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.'
