こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、福袋について。

日本には、正月になると、福袋が販売されます。
ラッキーバッグという国もあるかもしれないです。
今調べたら、他の国ではあまりないみたいですね。

福袋の始まりは、江戸時代に服屋さんが、着物のあまりをまとめて売ったというところから始まったそうです。

今も、雑貨店や服屋さん、百貨店など、いろんなところで福袋がありますね。これも昔は売れ残ったものなどをまとめて安く売っていました。ですが、最近では、福袋用の商品が入っていることも増えたみたいです。
　
僕は今は全く福袋買ったりしません。
昔は少し買ったりしていました。
もう10年以上前ですが、その時にアップルの福袋を買った記憶があります。今もしてるんでしょうか。

今は本当に物欲が少ないので、わざわざ人が多いところに行って、福袋を買いたいという気持ちはありません。
人によっては、それが楽しみな人もいると思います。

みなさんはこういった福袋が売っていたら買いたいですか？ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！

#174 福袋について

We all want our friends and relatives to be happy, but who is responsible for their care?
Today we read a story about a 95 year old woman in the UK.

Extract: 
We're going to go through a new story today and it begins with anger as a 95 year old (is)  told to take out her bins. Now, I just want to give you some background to this first of all. So, here in the UK, we have to put our bins on the streets for them to be collected and emptied.
So we have large bins, which are referred to as wheelie bins, And we must put those on the street. Depending on your relationship with your neighbours if you live in an apartment block, someone may do this for you. But the council employees, the people who come to empty the bins, will not come upon your property to collect them. They used to. But they don't any more. Depending on the council and depending on their funding, You may be able to request them to help you if you're old or infirm. As money is tight  these days for everyone, more and more councils are refusing to do this. A council is simply a local area government.
 Now we're going to read through a story here about what's happened to a 95 year old. Now, bearing in mind that here in the UK, we don't generally mix with our neighbours unless we know them very well or are related to them.
As I’ve often told you, we view  the Government almost like a mother or father, we expect them to do the things, which perhaps in your country is done by a community.
