06. How to Relieve Stress_ 如何缓解压力？

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

Everyday English with Teacher Alyse

Adapting to different ways of dealing with uncertainty

If you want to say HELLO, it depends on the time of day.
If it's morning, it's better to say ДОБРОГО РАНКУ.
If it's afternoon, it's ДОБРИЙ ДЕНЬ
If it is evening - then ДОБРИЙ ВЕЧІР or ДОБРОГО ВЕЧОРА
If it's night -- ДОБРОЇ НОЧІ
If you want to wish someone good night, you can use the previous phrase or ДОБРАНІЧ
It is also possible to say ВІТАЮ, but this word has two meanings: HELLO or Congratulations
These are formal greetings.
However, if you're talking to a friend, it's okay to say ПРИВІТ.

So how to say goodbye or bye? 
Goodbye is до побачення. By the way, побачення means “a date” and до in this context means “till”, but this phrase still means “goodbye”.
If you want to say “see you”, you can say “до зустрічі”. 
These are kind of formal ones.
And if you are talking to a friend and want to say “bye”, you can say:
– па-па (bye bye)
– бувай (bye)
So we can say it like “Як справи”.
“Як ти” – which is informal.

And what should we answer? 
We can say: 
Добре – which means good.
Дуже добре – very good 
Нормально – normal
Не дуже – not much. As I have said before, дуже – means very. So we literally say “not very”.
Чудово – great
Погано – bad
It is also possible to say “непогано” which means “not bad”

SWE 148 Why France is Burning

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今カタールでは、ワールドカップが開催中ですね！
日本は次がスペイン戦です。
相手はとても強いチームですが、がんばってほしいですね。

この時期、オンラインレッスンでいろんな国の人と話しているので、それぞれの国のいろんな話が聞くことができます。

カタールの人もいますし、ドイツや韓国、アメリカ、オーストラリアなどなど、本当にいろんな国の人がいます。

カタールのワールドカップに関する、いろんなニュースがありますが、一つの側面からしかとらえていないようなこともありますね。

ニュースだけに影響されるのではなく、自分の目で見て、耳で聞いて、世界を知りたいなと思います。


さてさて、話は全然変わりますが、昨日の夜、奥さんと餃子を作りました。僕の家では、時々餃子を作ります。
餃子の皮はさすがに買いますが、中に入れる具は自分たちで作ります。

僕の家の餃子は簡単な餃子です。
ミンチ
キャベツ
玉ねぎ
しいたけ
を入れて、
調味料は
醤油
ごま油
しょうが
にんにく
塩、こしょう

これらを混ぜます。
それから、この具を皮に包みます。

そして、僕の家ではホットプレートを使って焼きます。

コロナ禍の後、ほとんど自宅でご飯を食べるようになりました。みなさんもそうだと思います。

家で作ることや食べることが楽しくなり、今は家で食べる方が好きです。日本では家で作った方が安くすみます。

家で2人でご飯を作る時は、
お好み焼き
もつ鍋
たこ焼き
ピザ
他にもあるものだけでいろいろ作ったりします。

日本食で人気の寿司とか、ラーメンは家では作りません。
外で食べます。
焼肉は家でも外でも食べます。


ということで、今回は家で餃子を作りました！という話でした。

みなさんは家でどんなご飯を作りますか？
ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

今回も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！
