Hi everyone! It's December! It's Christmas! So, in this episode obviously I talk about Christmas in Japan. Some of you may have heard about how Japanese people celebrate it, like what we eat. I explain how a typical Japanese would do on 24th and 25th of this month.

おはようございます。日本語だんだんPodcastのゆかりです。
私はいま、シンガポールにいます。

シンガポールははじめてです。

いろいろなことに、おどろいています。

例えば、駅(えき)のポスターに
こう書いてありました。

"食べること、飲むことは禁止(きんし)。"

禁止とは、してはいけないことです。

シンガポールでは、電車やバスで、

食べること、飲むこと、は禁止です。

罰金(ばっきん)があります。

罰金とは、お金をはらうことです。

電車やバスでお水を飲むと‥

シンガポールドルで500ドル、はらわなくてはいけません。

日本円だと、50,000円(ごまんえん)です。

アメリカドルだと、＄360です。

びっくりですね。気をつけます！


みなさんの国(くに)では、どうでしょうか？

日本では、ふつうの電車やバスで、
食べることは、あんまり良くないです。

飲むことは、大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)です。

あ、新幹線(しんかんせん)は食べること、飲むこと、どちらも大丈夫です。

でも、普通のバスや電車はあんまり良くないです。

禁止ではありませんが、
マナーとして、あまりしません。

シンガポールでは禁止なので、
みんなにわかりやすいですね。

あいまいなルールよりも、
いいなぁと思います。

では今日も最後まで、聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。
また明日！

Do you know how to get better at anything? Athletes do. They work with a coach. 

You don’t have to try to get better at something on your own--a coach can help! Surgeon Atul Gawande says in a popular Ted Talk,  "Great coaches are your external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality." 

Some people seek out coaches proactively. They hire a professional coach to help with their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn Profile, and interview responses before they ever apply for a job. These people undoubtedly get jobs quicker because they hired a coach. However, the majority of people wait too long to get a coach, only seeking out help after a period of failure. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn different approaches to bet better at something and the tremendous career opportunities from working with a coach. You’ll hear how others’ lives have been enriched by working with coaches. I talk about my experience working coaches in Brazil and the US. You’ll also hear a story about one of my clients - an engineer in Taiwan who enlisted my help after trying and failing to get a job for years.  You will find out what type of professional coaches exist and how they can help you. If you want to increase your English vocabulary, continue listening to the end, where you’ll hear definitions of five idioms and phrases that came up during the episode.

How to Get Better At Anything, Including Getting A Job 

Today we have two idioms that both mean the same thing. They mean to ignore someone while they're doing something wrong, or maybe just to pretend not to notice. They are to "turn a blind eye" and to "look the other way". I hope you enjoy today's short episode!
