【ビジ英徹底復習】 2022 L8 Technology to Help Enrich Seniors' Lives

Hello everyone.

Studying English in the morning on my days off is bliss.
This week I had two 3-day weekends and worked 3 days a week.
The four-day workweek has been discussed before, but will the world ever come to a point where we have five days off in a week?

I have three more days this weekend, and I am looking forward to enjoying the best time of my life.

休日の午前中に英語の勉強をするのが至福の時です。
今週は3連休が2回もあり、週3日勤務でした。
週休4日制が以前話題になりましたが、果たして週のうち5日が休みになる世界は来るのでしょうか。

今週末も3日あるので、最高の時間を楽しみたいと思います。

2022年秋号が発売になっています。

Lesson 10 Workplace Romance and Single People
Lesson 11 Four-Day Workweek
Lesson 12 Appreciating Humor
の4本です。
