Lily's Chinese 对话

20240111毛泽东自传节选

You’re just mingling at a networking event. Someone suddenly starts pitching a business idea. You can’t just walk away — you need a way to step out without making it awkward. 


Situational Chinese with Yancy Grey 

 When Someone Starts Pitching Business  | Ep06

In today's podcast, I discuss how to build rapport during a job interview!

Active Listening: Demonstrate genuine interest in what the interviewer is saying by actively listening to their questions and comments. Maintain eye contact, nod occasionally, and respond thoughtfully to show that you value their input.

Mirror Body Language: Subtly mirror the body language of the interviewer to establish rapport on a subconscious level. This doesn't mean copying their every move, but rather mirroring their posture and gestures to create a sense of harmony and understanding.

Find Common Ground: Look for shared interests, experiences, or values that you can connect with the interviewer on. This could be anything from a similar educational background to a shared passion for a particular industry trend. Bringing up these commonalities can help build rapport and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Ask Thoughtful Questions: Show genuine curiosity about the company, the role, and the interviewer's experiences by asking thoughtful questions. This demonstrates that you're engaged in the conversation and eager to learn more, which can help build rapport and leave a positive impression.

Share Personal Stories (Strategically): When appropriate, share relevant personal anecdotes or experiences that showcase your skills, values, and personality. This can help humanize you in the eyes of the interviewer and create a more meaningful connection. However, be mindful of oversharing or veering off-topic, as this can detract from your professionalism.

11. El carro (el transporte en Perú)

La Ciudad de México está llena de lugares que bien podrían describirse como mágicos. Calles, museos, monumentos y avenidas inundan los alrededores de la capital mexicana. Una de las avenidas más largas y emblemáticas de la Ciudad es, sin duda, Paseo de la Reforma, que va desde el poniente de la ciudad, en donde se conecta con Constituyentes, hasta el centro con dirección al norte, conectándose con las calzadas de Guadalupe y de los Misterios, recorriendo 14.7 kilómetros de longitud.

A lo largo de su historia han ocurrido importantes acontecimientos, además de que es centro frecuente de manifestaciones populares y conciertos en donde se han reunido miles de personas. A lo largo de la avenida, que se podría considerar incluso la más importante del país, se pueden encontrar destacados recintos y monumentos, como la Fuente de la Diana Cazadora, el Ángel de la Independencia (el cuál es tomado como un referente icónico de la capital mexicana), la Torre del Caballito, la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, la Torre mayor, la Estela de Luz, entre muchos otros. Es un lugar que no puede faltar en las visitas de los extranjeros que vienen a nuestro país.

PASEO DE LA REFORMA

Today's phrase is "to be rigged" which means something has been set up to operate in some kind of unfair way. 

Today's phrase is to be rigged. Now when something is rigged, it is believed that it's operated using some kind of dishonest behaviour to promote a desired outcome. Now, let me just give you some examples to show you what I mean:

So, if we say, for example, 

The job vacancy has been advertised in the newspaper but I believe it's been rigged. We all know who's going to win.

 The football match was definitely rigged. I don't think the football players were playing in their usual way today. 

The competition to win a holiday in the local newspaper has been won by an employee of that newspaper. That was definitely rigged.
