PingpingChinese E01：Third Tone Rule

Recruiter: Why do you want to do this job?

Candidate: I would be very happy to work here because I really respect the work that this company does and I have always had a positive opinion of it. I believe that with the skills that I have learned over the past six years in this industry, I would be an excellent person to have on the team.

Recruiter: What experience do you have?



Candidate: When I started, I worked as a sales rep for two years and learned a lot during that time and went to a lot of training courses. After two years, I was promoted and became an area manager with a small team of two other people. I did that for three years, before moving to the job I do now. I currently manage a different area with a larger team of five people and since I have been there, our sales have increased by 25%.

Recruiter: Why are you looking for work?

Candidate: Ihave been with this company for six years now and I would like to have experience with a new company and I’m looking for a new challenge. Also, I have a new manager who started a couple of months ago and I don’t really get along with him. He’s pretty stupid.

Recruiter: How would you describe yourself?

Candidate: I’m a hard worker and enjoy learning new skills. I really love working in sales and don’t have a problem with working as long as I need to reach my goals. I’m good at working as part of a team, but I’m happy to work by myself too.

Recruiter: What is your dream job?

Candidate: Selling ice cream on a beach! Sun, ice cream, and sales: my three favorite things.

Recruiter: What are you good at?

Candidate: One of my biggest strengths is listening to customers to find out what they need and building relationships with them.

Recruiter: How do you deal with a large amount of work?

Candidate: First, I decide what are the most important tasks to deal with and I do those first. If I’ve got a lot to do, I will get up extra early and get a head start.

Recruiter: What are your hobbies?


English Conversation/Dialogue

Job Interviews

MARK: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the library is?
NANCY: Yes, it’s that way. You go three blocks to Washington Street, 
then turn right. It’s on the corner, across from the bank.
MARK: Thanks! I’ve only been in town a few days, so I really don’t 
know my way around yet.
NANCY: Oh, I know how you feel. We moved here a year ago, and 
I still don’t know where everything is!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Could you tell me … is slightly more polite than “Can you tell me …?”
• Could you tell me where the library is? Notice that “library” is stressed here because 
it is the word with the important information. This is an indirect question, so the subject 
(the library) comes before the verb (is). The word order is reversed in a direct question 
(Where is the library?).
• Yes, it’s that way. Notice the stress on “that.” The speaker is pointing in a certain 
direction and wants to emphasize that direction.
• I know how you feel is a way of saying “I understand.” Notice the emphasis on “feel.” 
The speaker wants to show empathy and understanding.
• I still don’t know where everything is! Notice the word order of where “everything 
is.” The subject (everything) comes before the verb (is). This word order is different from 
the direct question (Where is everything?)

История о том как под Новый год случаются чудеса!
А какие подарки судьбы вы получали на новый год?

Новогодняя история 

Este es el último episodio de la serie “Especial Navidad”. Y en él hablo de la última celebración de las Navidades españolas. Probablemente la favorita de los niños, ya que es hoy cuando los españoles abrimos nueros regalos de Navidad. 

Y, por supuesto, tenemos cosas típicas de este día. Escucha el episodio para descubrir como celebramos los españoles el Día de Reyes.

ERROR-fe de erratas*-lo siento, en la grabación menciono que las rebajas empiezan mañana 8 de enero, pero por supuesto, hoy, Día de Reyes es 6 de enero, por lo tanto, mañana es 7 de enero, que es cuando empiezan cada año las rebajas. No el 8, mi error)
