スマホじゅみょう寿命をの延ばすためにこころが心掛けたい3つのポイント Three Points to Consider for Extending the Lifespan of Your Smartphone by すずき鈴木あきこ明子
Batteries are a central part of daily life, and this article will introduce you to some practical tips for maximizing their useful lives!
This short reading is typical of this kind of 'practical prose'. The vocabulary is quite advanced in terms of frequency of kanji; however, it is quite predictable: even though the words might be less common, they are assembled from common kanji, so this is good practice in guessing how to read them.
For example, although you might not know the word 電池, both kanji are very common, and both have only a single common 'on' reading, so you can easily guess both the reading (でんち), and the meaning (lake of electricity = battery).
This reading also introduces several common and very useful idiomatic expressions - see in particular sentence 4!
This text has been selected to suit reading level: Intermediate.
However, it includes some vocabulary and phrases that you would not necessarily be expected to know at that level.
We believe knowledge of such vocabulary and phrases is beneficial at any stage of Japanese language learning,
as they are commonly used in everyday language.
Many of the readings in the Reading Corner, such as this one, have additional notes in the introduction.
The notes often provide extra information that will help you get more out of the text, including links to articles in the Grammar library.
Additional notes are included with some of the individual sentences in a reading directly below the text.
