動画レッスン:First-class is getting an upgrade

  First-class is getting an upgrade 動画レッスン:ファーストクラスがアップグレード https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_FkqW6Mjg&t=3s   Vintage first-class travel catered to those who could really afford it. From this pristine propeller to classic fine dining, the Peninsula Hong Kong’s China Clipper lounge gives us a glimpse into the heyday of luxury travel. Fast-forward to today, a number of airlines are announcing revamps to first-class seats post-Covid, with the first to announce being Lufthansa and Qantas. The whole look and feel of first class shows it’s not just a seat anymore. The airlines want you to feel like you’re in a mini hotel room. Qantas has enclosed suites with high walls that offer complete privacy at the front of the plane. It’s big enough to sit with a companion traveler to have your own first-class dining experience in the sky. Lufthansa has also added first-class suites with a particular cabin designed just for couples. It might not come close to Etihad’s The Residence ...

動画レッスン:What will the future of jobs be like?

What will the future of jobs be like? 動画レッスン:どうなる、「仕事の未来」 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH1fFdjzJAw&t=57s   Covid 19 is one of the biggest crises of our time. It has impacted every single one of us, shaken out social systems, and disrupted every sector of our economies. The automation of work combined with the global recession led workers to lose their jobs at an accelerated pace compared to previous years. And this trend is expected to continue. The ongoing shift in the division of labor between humans, machines and algorithms might displace 85 million jobs worldwide in the next 5 years, while 97 million new roles, ones that are more adopted to this new task distribution, may emerge. By 2025, companies expect to displace roughly 6 % of their total workforce, one in two workers will need reskilling, and those remaining in their current roles will need to update 40% of their skills set to adopt to the changing labor market. There is a way to collectively benefi...

動画レッスン:How we're doing on the path to zero emissions

  How we're doing on the path to zero emissions 動画レッスン:排出量ゼロへの道のりをどう歩む? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipkPcrNsCv8 I believe that we will be able to avoid a climate disaster. Innovators now have way more funding than ever before. Private companies are making serious climate commitments. Governments are passing advanced climate legislation. As a result, there are a number of clean technologies in development that cover every area of emission. But when I first started working on this issue, emissions were 51 billion tons each year and we are still at that level, and the time is running out. Alongside my belief that we can solve it, it can be difficult to actually contemplate the scale of change required for this energy transition. Of course, we have to invent new ways of doing these things, but it took a hundred years to build a very energy intensive industrial economy. We also need to replace all of that physical infrastructure in a much much shorter period of time. There’s never b...

Happy by Pharrell Williams 歌詞・文法解説付き https://www.discogs.com/ja/master/745457-Pharrell-Williams-Happy-Live Do you use music streaming service?  Seems like records are on the rise but I'm sure that streaming is the most common means to listen to music nowadays. 音楽の配信サービス使っていますか?レコード人気が復活しているようですがそれでも主流は配信ですよね。 Yesterday, my platform recommended this song and and I was like "This is it!" as soon as it started playing. It's not like it had been my favorite song or anything but it was just what I felt like listening at that moment. Since then I've been  repeatedly  playing it. 昨日いつも使っている配信サービスがある曲をおすすめしてきたのですが、聞いた瞬間「これこれ!これこれ!」って思ったんです。特に好きだった曲というわけではないんですがちょうどその時の気分にマッチしていたようで。そこから数日間リピート再生中です。 Here we go. I'd say this is intermediate-level. ではでは。レベルは中級といったところでしょうか。 It might seem crazy what I am 'bout to say 今から言おうとしていることはちょっとクレイジーに聞こえるかもしれない I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way 日の光、彼女はここにいる、休憩...

Do you like to travel overseas? 海外旅行は好きですか?

Do you like to travel overseas? あなたは海外旅行しますか? "Do you like to travel overseas?" "Which countries have you been to?" "What kind of  scenery touched your heart?" "What were some unforgettable moments during your trips?" "Where would you like to go next?" 海外旅行好きですか?どこへ行ったことありますか?感動した光景は?旅行中に経験した忘れられない瞬間は?次に行きたいのは? These are the regular questions I often ask my students in the first lesson. Just because of my curiosity. Although it wasn't so easy to cross borders as it used to be before the pandemic, travel experience has always been one of the most exiting topic to discuss. And I am glad that people have started enjoying their journeys. よく初めてのレッスンでは生徒さんにこんな質問をさせてもらっています。ただ単に私が興味があるから。コロナ前のように簡単に海外へ渡航することができなくなっていたとは言え、旅行についての話はやっぱり楽しいと思うのです。今多くの人が旅行を再開することができるようになって嬉しい限りです! But come to think of it, I have never counted the exact number of countries that I've ever been to despite the fact that I love to travel. So here comes the lis...

動画レッスン:What is Passover in Judaism

Passover in Judaism 動画レッスン:ユダヤ教の春行事ペサハ:過越祭って何? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o_qrMadfIw   You are about to see what Passover looks like here in the Holyland. Passover is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the freedom of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. The festival goes back thousands of years. It’s ca sacred and widely celebrated holiday in Judaism. During this time Jews from all across the world come together with the family to have Passover celebrations. These celebrations include a retelling of Exodus story and a special dinner. All to remember freedom from oppression which the Jewish people experienced for over 400 years in Egypt. But today there are some interesting things that happen across Israel to prepare for the holiday.   During Passover there are some ingredients that are forbidden to eat. Anything with yeast in it is forbidden like most bread. So that’s why grocery stores across Israel block off food in stores like this to keep what they call “K...
