Phrasal verbs are very common in English, especially in informal contexts. 
 They are made up of a verb and a particle or, sometimes, two particles. The particle often changes the meaning of the verb. Today let's learn 5 simple phrasal verbs with "look".

¡Hola chicos y chicas! Welcome to our pre-Zoom Spanish session with yours truly, David, your enthusiastic Spanish teacher. This quick rundown before our Zoom class is designed to get you primed and ready for some language fun. We're diving straight into the essential review of place markers - those nifty little phrases like "en frente de" (in front of) and "al lado de" (next to) that help us navigate spaces in Spanish. We'll zip through a review, then jump into an interactive exercise on room vocabulary, where you'll guess objects in Spanish with your classmates. So, if you're pumped and ready to boost your Spanish skills, hit me up, and let's make learning español a blast! ¡Vamos a empezar! (Let's start!)

I attended this wonderful concert as a member of choir of 10,000 people. 
I am going to talk about it in two parts. In No.1, what is サントリー１万人の第九? and how was the lesson?   
Please listen to me until the end. Thank you!

サントリー１万人の第九　№１ 
みなさんは　『サントリー１万人の第九』って聞いたことがありますか。
今回は２回にわたって、この『サントリー１万人の第九』についてお話をします。

第１回目は　『サントリー１万人の第九』についてと　合唱の練習についてお話します。
第２回目は　前日のリハーサルとコンサート当日のことをお話しますね。

２０２３年１２月３日　日曜日　私は友人といっしょに、『サントリー１万人の第九』に合唱団員として参加しました。
この『サントリー１万人の第九』は１９８３年。今から４０年前。
毎年１２月の第一日曜日に開催されてきました。
ところが、コロナで２０２０年と２０２１年は動画投稿による合唱で行い、昨年は２０００人の生合唱で行うなど　形を変えて開催されました。
そして、今年２０２３年は　ふたたび１００００人の大合唱団が　大阪城ホールに集いました。

私は、ベートーベンの交響曲第９番の第４楽章の合唱パートを歌うのは２回目ですが、この『サントリー１万人の第九』に参加したのは初めてです。
日本全国の練習会場やオンラインで、レッスンが８月２０ごろから本番まで１２回ありました。　私は毎週火曜日に　オンラインのレッスンを受けました。　また、いつでも見ることができるレッスンビデオが用意されていました。　ドイツ語の発音、パート別レッスン、指揮者佐渡さんのワンポイントレッスン、仕上げ用のハーモニーレッスンなどがありました。　それぞれ１２レッスンずつあり、とても丁寧で濃い内容で　それをいつでも見て練習することができました。
どうしてもわからないところは、合唱経験のある友人に教えてもらって練習しました。

ドイツ語は子音が大事で、大げさすぎるぐらい発音するようにと指導されました。
特に、喜びという意味のFreude！の最初のFの音や、兄弟たちよという意味のBruder！のBの音は　何度も練習させられました。　日本人には馴染のない発音の仕方なので、今もまだうまく言うことができていないと思います。

週に１回、計１２回のレッスンはあっという間で、気が付いたら１１月の後半になっていました。
１１月２８日には　指揮者の佐渡さんが直接指導してくれるレッスンが　尼崎のアルカイックホールで行われました。そのとき、初めて大勢の人たちと声を合わせて合唱しました。この時点で、私はまだちゃんと歌えていませんでした。どうしよう！という感じで、それから本番まで毎日ビデオを見て練習しました。

サントリー１万人の第九№１　Suntory10000Freude Beethoven's 9th

More and more people are once again booking flights to exciting places around the world.

But as they take their seats, many travelers will remember that spending time with other passengers is not always easy.

Travel website Only Wanderlust surveyed over 1,500 travelers about the most annoying passengers on a plane.

Nine percent of travelers agreed that people who kick your seat are the most annoying passengers. Here are the top 10 on the list.

A passenger who kicks your seat.
A passenger who doesn't smell too nice.
A passenger who talks loudly.
A passenger who pulls on — or pushes against — your seat.
A drunk passenger.
Crying babies or children.
A passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
A passenger wearing strong smelling perfume.
A passenger who doesn't wear their mask correctly.
A passenger who snores when sleeping.
Number seven on the list is a topic that is often discussed.

In the survey, Only Wanderlust asked if passengers have a right to recline their seats, and almost two out of three travelers said that they did.

The website also asked some airline companies about the right to recline. None of the airlines said they had a policy on this topic. But they recommended talking to the passenger in front or behind, or if there is an argument, asking a member of staff for help.

As for crying babies: they can't really help it. But as we get older, perhaps we can all try to think about the people around us when we're on a plane.
