「ネコのクロエちゃん」My cat Chloe


The aim of this lesson...
ペットのことを　話します。
to talk about pets!!



4)Text, Applied conversation practice, Extra thinking training　［3：05］ 


★★Text(Kanji)★★
クロエちゃんは　ネコです。うちに来てから、もうすぐ１年です。初めは　テレビの　後ろに　隠れていましたが、今は　ベッドの　真ん中で　グーグー寝ています。

かくれんぼが　大好きです。
わたしが　隠れると、クロエちゃんは　ニャーニャーなきながら、わたしを　探します。ご飯が　食べたいとき、口を　ペロペロしています。本当に　かわいいです。

そんなクロエちゃんを　見ていると、
元気な気持ちに　なります。クロエちゃんは　わたしの　癒しです。いつも　クロエちゃんに　癒されています。



★★Applied conversation practice★★
（Animal species）の（Pet Name）は　（Animal noises）なきながら、
・・・　What your pet does　・・・ます。


れい）〈いぬ〉ポチ、ワンワン、まいにち　げんかんで　ぼくを　むかえる（　He greets me at the door every day.　）
　1）　〈ねこ〉たまちゃん、ニャーニャー、わたしを　さがす
　2）　〈ブタ〉じろう、ブーブー、いえのなかを　うろうろする（　He wanders around the house.　）



★★Extra thinking training★★
「すると、いつも」の「と」は、どれですか。
Which is the “と” in “すると、いつも"?

れい）いぬの　ぷーすけは、おかあさんと　いっしょに　スーパーに　いきました。　×

れい）いぬの　ぷーすけは　おかあさんを　みると、とんで　よろこびます。　◎

１）いぬの　ぷーすけは、とりを　みて、「わん」と　なきました。
２）いぬの　ぷーすけは　ごはんを　たべると、すぐに　ねます。　


NOTE:
The sentence pattern “Vdic. と、～” means “Vます。すると、いつも～”. Therefore, the example sentence “いぬの　ぷーすけは　おかあさんを　みると、とんで　よころびます” means “いぬの　ぷーすけが　おかあさんを　みる→ いつもとんでよろこぶ”. It has the same meaning as “V る+とき ,” but with the added nuance of “いつも(always)”.

ネコのクロエちゃん（4）

Greenland's prime minister has said that the people of the mineral-rich Arctic territory don't want to be Americans.

However, he understands the US President-elect Donald Trump's interest in the island given its strategic location, and he's open to greater cooperation with Washington.

The comments from the Greenlandic leader, Múte B. Egede, came after Trump said that he wouldn't rule out using force or economic pressure in order to make Greenland — a semiautonomous territory of Denmark — a part of the US.

Trump said that it was a matter of national security for the US.

Egede acknowledged that Greenland is part of the North American continent, and "a place that the Americans see as part of their world." He said he hasn't spoken to Trump, but that he's open to discussions about what "unites us."

"Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions," he said.

Egede has been calling for independence for Greenland, presenting Denmark as a colonial power that hasn't always treated the Indigenous Inuit population well.

"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," he said.

Trump's desire for Greenland has caused anxiety across Europe. The US is a strong ally of the European Union, and many Europeans were shocked by the suggestion that an incoming US leader could even consider using force against an ally.

Greenland has a population of 57,000. But it is a vast territory possessing natural resources that include oil, gas, and rare earth elements, which are expected to become more accessible as ice melts because of climate change.

It also has a key strategic location in the Arctic, where Russia, China and others are seeking to expand their interests.

Greenland, the world's largest island, lies closer to the North American mainland than to Denmark.

Câu chuyện về túi khoai tây
Vào một buổi học, thầy giáo tôi mang vào lớp rất nhiều túi nhựa và một bao khoai tây thật to. Thầy  chậm rãi giải thích với mọi người rằng mỗi khi cảm thấy oán giận hoặc không muốn tha thứ lỗi lầm cho ai, hãy viết tên những người mình không ưa hay ghét hận rồi cho vào túi. Chỉ một lúc sau, chiếc túi nào của chúng tôi cũng đã căng nặng, đầy khoai tây. Thậm chí, có người một túi không chứa hết khoai tây, phải thêm một túi nhỏ kèm theo.............

Technology plays a crucial role in today's modern workplace, and dealing with outdated or malfunctioning equipment can be a significant challenge for HR professionals. Addressing these issues promptly is essential to maintain productivity, employee satisfaction, and overall organizational efficiency.

When faced with technology issues, it's important to first identify the root cause. This may involve troubleshooting hardware, software, or network problems. Once the issue is identified, take appropriate steps to resolve it. This might include updating software, replacing faulty hardware, or seeking assistance from IT professionals.

To prevent future technology issues, it's crucial to implement regular maintenance and updates. This includes scheduling routine maintenance checks, ensuring software is kept up-to-date, and providing employees with training on proper equipment usage. Additionally, consider investing in redundant systems and backup solutions to minimize downtime in case of failures.

Addressing technology issues effectively requires a collaborative approach between HR and IT departments. HR professionals can play a key role in communicating with employees about technology-related disruptions and providing support. They can also work with IT to ensure that employees have the necessary training and resources to use technology effectively.

By proactively addressing technology issues and implementing preventive measures, HR professionals can contribute to a more efficient and productive workplace.
