水曜日のワークショップ　チラッと

**0:01F**

All right, let's get started.

**0:12 Y**

Thread.

**0:13F**

Thread can mean both sewing materials and relationships. When you hear "thread," what comes to mind?

**0:40 Y**

I know thread refers to both relationships and sewing, but I'm not good at handmade sewing. I used to make clothes with a machine for two years, but I don't do it anymore.

**1:45 F **

So, you’ve made clothes yourself? That’s impressive.

**2:10 Y**

Yes, I still have some of those clothes at home. In terms of relationships, the idea of a thread as a connection is strong.

**2:45 F **

Right, people often associate "thread" with relationships or connections.

**4:04 F **

My next question is about the concept of "parallel." It can refer to things running alongside each other, like ideas or even in a gymnastic sense. What does "parallel" remind you of?

**5:19 Y2 **

Parallel reminds me of a book I read, where common ideas were contrasted with more abstract ones. It’s about how different perspectives can run parallel but may never meet.

That’s an interesting take. Sometimes, when two people can't find a solution, it’s better to pause the discussion and approach it later.

**10:02 F **

Let’s talk about "name cards." What do they represent to you?

**10:41 Y **

Name cards are still important in formal work settings. They help establish connections, though nowadays, they also serve as registration cards in companies.

**12:14 F **

Yes, these days, name cards often double as identification within companies.

**14:16 F **

Next topic: "fact." How do you see the role of facts in communication?

**14:59 Y2 **

Facts remind me of mystery novels. I'm really into them, and I love trying to figure out the criminal before the story reveals it. Even if the story is sad, uncovering the facts is always satisfying.

Mysteries are all about discovering the truth.

**17:34 F **

Let’s discuss "Japanese pears." What do you think of when you hear that?

**17:58 Y **

Japanese pears remind me of the place where I grew up. It's famous for its pears. I used to send them to family and friends, but now I buy them from a local farmer because they’re cheaper and fresh.

**22:37 Y2 **

That’s nice. I used to send pears too, but they can be quite expensive.

**24:15 F **

Next up, "highway." What comes to mind when you think of highways?

**24:40 Y **

Since we sold our car, I don't use highways much. Highways remind me of driving to visit relatives in Tokyo, where traffic was always a challenge.

**29:12 Y **

Highways in Japan are different from those abroad—expensive and often crowded.

**32:15 Y2 **

Yes, that’s true. Japanese highways can be quite crowded, especially during holidays.
