¿Estás empanado?

KONNICHIWA! Here I am again. 
I picked a topic from a question I asked on the last episode: Things I want to try and it’s Kanken! (Kanji Aptitide Test)

This podcast might sound hard or complicated because I explained about the Kanken with the genres it has.
But you can train your listening skill and know about the test!

I always ask you a question at the end of an episode. Please listen carefully and think about your answer in Japanese!

Jaa Mata on the next episode.

#2 挑戦したいこと Things I Want to Try

In Chapter 3, we read the comic book that George and Harold created. The comic introduces Captain Underpants, a silly superhero who wears only underwear and a cape. Captain Underpants is brave and strong, but also very funny.

In the comic, Captain Underpants fights bad guys and saves people in silly and unexpected ways. The story is full of jokes, exaggeration, and funny pictures. This chapter shows how creative George and Harold are and helps us understand the kind of superhero they imagine before he becomes part of the real story.Send me a message for your free copy of this book to follow along.

こんにちは！今日は8月28日水曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、日本語の中でもよく使われる「の」と「こと」についてお話しします。この2つ、使い方に悩んだことはありませんか？今日は、その違いを確認していきましょう。

まず、「の」と「こと」について簡単にお伝えします。「の」も「こと」も、動詞を名詞のように表現するときに使います。

例えば
　•　「日本語を勉強するのは楽しいです。」
•　「日本語を勉強することは楽しいです。」
この2つの文、どちらも「の」と「こと」を使っていますが、意味はほとんど同じです。このように、「の」と「こと」の両方が使える場合もあれば、使い方を分ける場合もあります。

まずは、「の」だけを使う場合について説明します。「の」を使うのは、頭の中で、はっきりと形が想像できるときです。たとえば、「犬が走るのを見ました。」という文では、犬が走る姿がはっきりと想像できます。このように、「の」は、実際に目に見えるものや聞こえる音など、感じ方に関係する動詞と一緒に使われます。

たとえば、
	• 「子どもが遊ぶのを見ていました。」
	• 「友達が歌うのを聞きました。」です。

また、「止める」を使う時は「の」を使います。
たとえば、「妹がお菓子を買うのを止めました」です。

次に、「こと」だけを使う場合についてです。「こと」は、はっきりと形が想像できない場合に使います。たとえば、「会議の時間が変わることを伝えてください。」という文では、時間が変わるという内容を伝えていて、はっきりとした形は想像できません。この場合、「こと」を使うのが自然です。

たとえば、
	•　「この決まりを守ることが大切です。」
	•	「いつも一緒にいることを約束します。」

また、「です」「できる」「ある」「する」「なる」が続く場合も「こと」を使います。
たとえば、
　　•　　「趣味はアニメを見ることです。」
　　•　　「日本に住んだことがあります。」

「の」と「こと」の使い方は少し難しいですが、大丈夫です。基本は「の」を使っていきましょう。頭の中で、はっきりと形を想像できない時と、「です」「できる」「ある」「する」「なる」などが続く時だけ「こと」を使いましょう。

それでは、ここで皆さんに質問です。次の文で正しい使い方はどれでしょうか？
	1.	「子どもが遊ぶのを見ています。」
	2.	「子どもが遊ぶことを見ています。」
	3.	「1」も「2」も正しい

もう一度、言います。1.2.3.。この場合、目に見える行動を示しています。答えは「1. 子どもが遊ぶのを見ています。」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。「の」と「こと」の違いについて、楽しんでいただけましたか？このポッドキャストは、毎日日本時間の朝7時ころにお送りしています。聞き取りづらいと感じたら速度を遅くして、簡単だと感じたら速度を速くして聞いてみてください。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください！それではまた、明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

IELTS speaking fears

What are they? Here are some students' comments over the internet:

"Honestly my greatest fear in IELTS is the speaking section. I’ve taken the exam 6 times already since 2014 without hitting my target score of 7. My speaking score is consistently 6.5 throughout the exams. My nervousness really gets overwhelming with my failure. Just a mere mention of IELTS makes me cringe. I feel so hurt and phobic of the exam."

Imagine this, right?

As I said in the podcast, hard skills (preparing for the questions) aren't the only thing students need to prepare for.

Mental training, calming down, breathing exercises, and learning to cool down are some techniques you can take to elevate your score.

If it sounds new and you simply haven't heard of it, use it, and it will be a HUGE assistance for your WHOLE life.

Dive into my harmonising meditation I did earlier to learn to relax more.

Be well and let me know how I can help you.

IELTS Listening Test Summary 

First and foremost, research the company thoroughly, familiarize yourself with its values, goals, and recent developments. Understanding the company's culture and industry trends can help you tailor your responses during the interview, demonstrating your genuine interest and enthusiasm.

Practice your responses to common interview questions, but don't memorize them verbatim. Instead, focus on conveying your experiences, skills, and achievements in a clear and concise manner. Practice active listening skills, allowing the interviewer to finish their questions before formulating your responses. This demonstrates respect and attentiveness, qualities highly valued in the business world.

When discussing your qualifications and experiences, use specific examples to illustrate your points. Quantify your achievements whenever possible, highlighting the impact you've had in previous roles. Employ the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your responses, ensuring clarity and coherence.

Reframing anxiety as excitement can be empowering. Instead of dwelling on potential mistakes or shortcomings, focus on the opportunity to showcase your skills and personality. Visualize success, envisioning yourself confidently answering questions and building rapport with the interviewer.

Mindfulness techniques can also be effective in managing interview anxiety. Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nerves and center your focus. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel nervous – it's a sign that you care about the outcome. Embrace the adrenaline rush as a source of energy to fuel your performance.

After the interview, take time to reflect on your performance. Identify areas of strength and areas for improvement, using feedback to refine your interview skills for future opportunities. Regardless of the outcome, view each interview as a learning experience, building your confidence and resilience with each interaction.
