Learn Three Sentences a Day: DAY15

Our thoughts and emotions impact our behaviors every day in both positive and negative ways. As teachers, we must have the self-awareness to identify these emotions and be able to communicate them to our students in a positive way. Reflection in lesson planning makes us more compassionate teachers and creates a positive learning environment.

나의 친구 강아지

작년 봄, 저는 강아지 한 마리를 만났어요.
친구가 “보리”라는 강아지를 잠깐 맡아 달라고 했어요.
처음에는 무서웠지만, 보리를 보고 마음이 바뀌었어요.
보리는 작고 귀여운 갈색 강아지였어요.

보리는 저를 처음 봤을 때 조용히 다가왔어요.
손을 살짝 핥고, 꼬리를 흔들었어요.
그때 저는 '아, 이 강아지는 착하구나'라고 생각했어요.
그날부터 우리는 친구가 되었어요.

보리와 함께 산책도 하고, 공놀이도 했어요.
제가 공을 던지면 보리는 달려가서 물고 왔어요.
매일 아침 보리와 산책하는 시간이 정말 좋았어요.

어느 날, 제가 감기에 걸려서 아팠어요.
침대에 누워 있을 때, 보리가 제 옆에 조용히 앉았어요.
보리의 따뜻한 몸이 제 마음까지 따뜻하게 만들었어요.
그때 저는 보리가 단순한 동물이 아니라 진짜 친구라고 느꼈어요.

지금은 보리가 다시 친구 집으로 돌아갔어요.
하지만 보리와 함께한 시간은 제게 소중한 추억이에요.
언젠가 다시 보리를 만나고 싶어요.

Spesso quando studiamo una lingua straniera, per ovvie ragioni pratiche, facciamo ampio utilizzo della traduzione, servendoci un dizionario bilingue, (gli amanti dell'analogico) o di un dizionario online (gli amanti del virtuale), o come nel mio caso di entrambi. il più delle volte la traduzione dei singoli elementi da una lingua all'altra funziona, grazie al duro lavoro di linguisti e traduttori, ma ci sono alcune volte nelle quali rendere esattamente lo stesso significato da una lingua all'altra non è così facile... Buon ascolto!

Movie: Mimi

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.
