In this 1 minute episode I will be discussing 'British Politeness'.

Please find the transcript of the episode below.

Welcome to this British English podcast. 

In this episode I'll be discussing the topic 'British politeness'.

Brits, which is short for 'British people', are often known for being polite. 

Polite means "showing respect for other people". For example, many Brits often say 'please and thank you'.

In Britain, people often say 'sorry'. They use the word 'sorry' in many different situations. For example,

"sorry I'm late!" or if a person bumps into you, they will often say 'sorry' very quickly. 

 British people are indirect when speaking. For example, a British person wouldn't say
"give me the salt", instead they would say "could you pass me the salt, please?". 

Finally, British people love to queue. 
To queue means 'to wait in line'. They queue for everything! Especially the bus!

Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking: Why Planning Isn’t Always the Right Thing to Do

You’re overseeing a project and have all the pieces in place.

Your detailed timeline is mapped out. You’ve set expectations with leaders and team members. You’re prepared to keep all the deliverables organized.

Halfway through the project, a team comes to you with a suggestion—they think they’ve found a better way to handle a piece of the process.

Your stomach drops into your shoes. You’re the taskmaster. The organizer. The keeper of the schedule. This change in direction will only throw a wrench into the flawless plan you spent hours agonizing over. Even if it is a better way to go, you’re cringing at the idea of straying from your beloved system.

Sound familiar? It’s a common scenario for project managers. When you’re the one who’s solely responsible for keeping everything on track, it’s understandable that you’ll white-knuckle your tried and true processes.

But, think about this: You may be limiting the wiggle room team members need to take that project to the next level. By planning away every last inch of flexibility, you’re making it that much tougher to adapt to new information and evolving demands.

So, what do you do? It’s time for project management professionals to not only think of themselves as the keepers of plans, but also the ones responsible for pulling the very best out of teams.

To do so, they need to encourage and enable both pieces of the creative problem-solving process: divergent thinking and convergent thinking.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
昨日、北海道から大阪へ飛行機で移動しました。
今週、大阪と岡山で用事があるので、大阪へ来ました。

ということで、昨日大阪に来て思ったことを話します。
1つ目は、とてもむし暑い！
前に住んでいたからわかりますが、たぶん、大阪では少し涼しくなってきたんだろうと思います。夜は風もありました。でも、北海道から移動してくると、やっぱりもわっとする感じがあります。少し熱気があるというか。北海道だとさらっとしている感じですね。関西空港の自動ドアを出た時に1番はじめにそれを感じました。

2つ目。虫の声が秋を感じさせます。
夏はセミがとても激しく鳴いていたと思いますが、夏から秋に変わると、特に夜はジーーという虫の鳴き声が聞こえます。あれは何の虫なのかいまだにわかりませんが。北海道では、そういう虫の声はあまり聞かないので、昨日夜歩いていて、あ、秋になっていってるんだな、と感じました。

3つ目。電車が早い、安い！
昨日、関西空港についてから、家まで電車で帰りました。
60キロ近くの距離を電車で1時間半ぐらいで帰りました。¥1,300ぐらいでした。北海道だと、千歳から札幌まで30キロちょっとあります。30分ほどでつけるので早いですが、¥980ぐらいかかるので、少し高く感じます。大阪ー京都だと45キロぐらいで、JRで¥570でした。なので、やっぱり北海道は少し電車が高く感じます。

今日は大阪に帰ってきて、感じた3つのことを話しました！
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
