はい、こんにちはよう平先生です。
今日はN4N5の ボキャブラリーで、あまり　よくない発音（はつおん）のしかたの話（はなし）をします。
えー、今から話す あまりよくない発音（はつおん）のしかたですが、たくさんの生徒（せいと）が しています。 
はい、じゃあさっそく、例（たと）えば、”切手（きって）” スタンプ(stamp)ですね。これをたくさんの生徒（せいと）が　“きぃ  て”と言います。えー、じゃあ、もう一度いい発音(はつおん）を言ますね。
”きって”。わるい発音が”きぃ て”、 はい、これはちがいは分かりますか。えー、そうですね、『き』小さい『っ』『て』なんですが、この小さい”っ”は音楽（おんがく）のスタッカートえー英語のstaccarto ですねえー中国語で”断音”ですねえ、そのすか、スタッカートを使わなければいけません。
”きって”ですね、もし使わなかったら”きぃて”。これは”来ます”のて形動詞（けいどうし）、te form verb の”来て”と思ってしまうんですね。はい、いいですか。 
えー、他（ほか）にも”帰（かえ）って”、”帰ります”のて形動詞、te form verbですね。これをスタッカートを使わなかったら”かえぇて” 、これはチェンジ(change)の”変（か）えて”　”変えます”のて形動詞（けいどうし）、”変（か）えて”と思ってしまうんですね。
じゃ、他にも”買（か）います”のて形動詞”買（か）って”、これをスタッカートを使わずに言うとか。”かぁて”、 えー、”勝（か）ちます”の命令形（めいれいけい）、imperative verb、命令系の”かて” と思ってしまうんです。
他にも10分ten minutes ですね。十分（shi fen）ですね。えー10分、これをスタッカートを使わないで言うと”じゅうぶん” えーenough”じゅうぶん”に えー聞こえます。はい、ですから、あ、小さい”っ”はスタッカートを使ってください。はいえー今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございます。 
はい、日本語の勉強がんばってくださいね。バイバイ👋

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING

Great communicators take their audiences on a journey through storytelling, and Aristotle’s famous ‘Tell, Tell, Tell’ triptych is one of the most offered pieces of advice given to anyone hoping to become a good storyteller.

However, you don’t want to just follow the crowd, you want to stand-out and be remembered by your colleagues, your boss and your clients. So, I want to share with you an updated take on the 3-tells for the modern business era.

Firstly, share your conclusions with your audience. Start with the conclusion that you want the audience to remember. This lets them know what you are going to be communicating to them and provides a destination.

Secondly, show how and why you have reached your conclusion. This is the heart of your story and where you will spend most of your time. Because they already know the destination, this part of your presentation is more productive as your audience is already trying to convince themselves that your conclusions are correct.

Finally, tell them what you want them to do with your conclusion.
