イントロ

Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

Today I went up to the ski village because it was really sunny and I wanted to take some photos before it starts snowing. There are these little bugs everywhere in the evenings now so apparently it’s going to start snowing soon.
And I found this white eggplant. Someone was selling some vegetables outside a café so we bought some. I don’t remember ever seeing a white eggplant before.

I also picked up a few t-shirts from Scott Adventure Sports – so I have one to give away to a tdes member (not this one, another one.) There’s a whole list of giveaways this month … so you can go and check out this page if you’re interested in becoming a member and send us an email with your membership number and tell us what you want to be in the draw for.

Today I recommend this video from this YouTube channel.
You can follow the link to that in the description.

This is a video made by a Canadian guy who is teaching English in South Korea. I think it’s an excellent example of using music in the classroom. The kids are obviously having a great time and they’re learning some language which is very useful, as you can see in the video.









The Acadia Report

Interview with Christa Bowes Senior Resident Assistant, Christofor Hall and Eaton House
　ACADIA大学キャンパス学生寮"Christofor Hall"と"Eaton House"の寮長をしているChrista Bowesさんのインタビュー

What’s the difference between Eaton and Christofor?
　"Eaton"と"Christofor"の違いは何ですか？

Um, Christofor is a quieter res. Um, often times, doors, um, are closed. People take a lot of time to study in this residence. Eaton’s definitely a more social atmosphere. Um, most of the parties that happen between the two buildings happen in Eaton House.
　"Christofor"の方がより静かです。　ほとんどドアは閉まっていてこの寮の学生たちは勉強に多くの時間を費やしています。　"Eaton"はより社交的な寮です。　パーティーをやっているのはほとんどの場合"Eaton"の方です。

How are rooms chosen?
　どのように部屋を決めるんですか？

So, rooms are often chosen by a process called room draw. Where fourth years have first choice, then third years, then second years. Often times rooms are held for people who are given scholarships from Acadia for first year students.
　抽選によりしばしば決められます。　４年生が先に選んで次に３年生、２年生と続きます。　ＡＣＡＤＩＡ大学の奨学生１年生に優先して入ってもらっています。

What kinds of rooms are there?
　どのような部屋がありますか？

We have four different types of rooms in Eaton and Christofor. In Eaton we have a suite where there’s a room, a living room and a washroom. And then we have single deluxes that have a double bed and it’s a bigger room. Or there’s just a single. And there’s also doubles.
　"Eaton"と"Christofor"の部屋のタイプは４種類あります。　部屋、リビング、トイレがあるタイプ。　シングルデラックスと言うダブルベッドに大きめの部屋。　ただのシングルルーム。　ただのダブルルーム。

Why did you decide to be an RA?
　なぜＲＡ【Resident Assistant、寮長】になろうと思ったんですか？

I decided to be an RA because I love staying in res. I really enjoy doing programming for the house, making sure that there’s a good community atmosphere. I think it’s a great way to meet more people in residence.
　私は寮に篭もるのが好きだからＲＡになろうと思いました。　寮の催しを企画したり良い雰囲気を作ることが大好きなんです。　寮で生活する学生たちとの知り合える素晴らしい方法でもあります。

How long did you stay in Cutten House?
　"Cutten House"ではどれくらい生活していましたか？

I stayed in there for two years and this is my third year here at Acadia and now I’m living in Eaten House.
　あそこでは２年間生活しました。　私は"Eaton House"で暮らしているACADIA大学３年生です。

Was that very different?
　それぞれに違いはありますか？

It’s very different. Cutten House is a huge house. There’s a huge variety of people. We had a lot of international students. And we had a lot of, ah, honors students or graduate students. Where Eaten House is mostly first, second years. In Christofor you’ll find a few more third years. 
　大きく違います。　"Cutten House"は巨大な寮です。　バラエティーに富んだ人たちが住んでいます。　多くの留学生たちが暮らしています。　研究者や大学院生も暮らしています。　"Eaton House"で暮らすほとんどは１年生か２年生です。　"Christofor"は３年生が多く暮らしています。









STICK NEWS

Kia Ora in Stick News today Stephen Harper is still the Prime Minister of Canada.

Stephen Harper was born in Toronto in 1959. He got into politics when he was still at high school. He tried to get into parliament in 1988. But he failed. He eventually became an MP in 1993. And became the Prime Minister in 2006. On Tuesday there was a general election in Canada and Harper’s party got the most votes. Harper belongs to the Conservative Party of Canada which was formed by the 2003 merger of the Progressive Conservative Party and Canadian Alliance (which used to be called the Reform Party). According to Wikipedia, Harper owns a large record collection and is an avid fan of The Beatles and AC/DC.

And that was Stick News for Thursday the 16th of October.
Kia Ora.

conversations with sarah

　I am so gutted

Sarah
Oh, man, I am so gutted.
　あー、もー、超ガッカリ。

Silas
Why?
　何で？

Sarah
Oh. You know how there’s an election coming up in New Zealand.
　ニュージーランドで選挙が迫っているの、知ってるよね。

Silas
Yeah. When is it?
　うん、いつだったっけ？

Sarah
It’s on the eighth of November.
　１１月８日

Silas
Oh, that’s the same day as the US election.
　アメリカの大統領選挙と同じ日じゃん。

Sarah
No, that one’s on the fourth.
　アメリカのは４日。

Silas
Oh, OK.
　そうだったか。

Sarah
Yeah, anyway. I was just thinking about what I need to do to vote and I went and checked on the website and stuff. And then I realized … I can’t vote.
　まあ、とにかく、ニュージーランドの選挙の投票方法をウェブサイトで調べたら、何と私、投票できないことが分かった。

Silas
Why not?
　えっ、何で？

Sarah
Because I haven’t been in New Zealand for the last three years.
　ニュージーランドに３年以上、戻っていないから。

Silas
Really?! When was the last time you went back?
　マジで？　前に戻ったのは何年前だったっけ？

Sarah
Almost four years ago. I couldn’t believe it, I was staring at my passport thinking: This can’t be right. But it is. I went and checked my old email account and everything. I can’t believe it. I’m so annoyed … I wasted all that time thinking about who I was going to vote for.
　４年くらい前。　信じらんない、パスポートを眺めながら、イヤこれは間違っている、と思ったけどそうだった。　昔のメアドとか全部チェックしたけどやっぱりそうだった。　信じらんない、サイアク。　どこに投票するか考えぬいた時間が全て無駄になった。

Silas
Really?
　そうなの？

Sarah
Yeah. Cause I decided that I don’t really like the party I voted for last time, so I was reading all this stuff, and trying to decide … and it’s like, uh, what a waste of time.
　うん、前回の選挙ではあまり好きじゃない政党に投票しちゃったから、今回は読めるモノは全部読んでじっくり決めたのに・・・時間の無駄になっちゃった。

Silas
So what are you going to do?
　で、これからどうするの？

Sarah
Just go back to following the American election. It’s more exciting anyway.
　アメリカ大統領選挙に注目する。　こっちの方がエキサイティングだし。
