SWE27 How to play H-O-R-S-E Basketball Shooting Game

こんにちは、Mikaです
このPodcastでは私の日々の出来事を通して
日本語をより身近に、楽しく感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。
短い間ですがリラックスした気分でどうぞお付き合いください。

今日は2024年の7月に開催されるパリオリンピックのメダルについてお話ししたいと思います。
皆さんはニュースでパリオリンピックのメダルのデザインを見ましたか？
私はニュースでもう見ました。
メダルのデザインは国によってオリジナリティがあって、形やデザインやリボンの色などが本当に様々で面白いですよね！どの国のメダルも素敵でしたが、次のパリオリンピックのメダルはとても素敵なデザインとアイデアのあるメダルです。

実はエッフェル塔で使われていた "鉄" がメダルの中心の部分に使われています。そして形はフランスの形を表す "ろっかっけい" になっていて表彰台に上がったアスリートがメダルとしてエッフェル塔の一部を持ち帰ることができるという貴重なものです。
アイデアがとてもおしゃれで、さすがフランスですよね♪

私が注目している競技はゴルフとスケートボードですが、本当にたくさんの種目があるので、どの種目も見てみたいと思います。
すべての国の選手がパリオリンピックでベストを尽くせるように、とても楽しみにしていますし応援しようと思います。

皆さんはどの競技を楽しみにしていますか？是非教えてください。
それでは今日も笑顔の多い一日を！またね～

Habit stacking is a technique where you link a new habit or task to an existing one so it's easier to form. 

To prepare for an interview, start small by reviewing your resume after breakfast each day.

Then, build on that by following it with researching common interview questions while you commute. 

Next, add practicing answers aloud in your car or on a walk. 

Gradually increase difficulty by recording mock interviews on your phone and reviewing where you can improve. 

Soon, your routine will be: 

breakfast > resume review > research questions > practice answers > mock interview. 

Then, take it a step further. After work, fit in calling contacts for referrals during your regular exercise. 

Follow exercise with reviewing your networking and researching the company more in-depth. 
Right before bed, update your notes so it's fresh in your mind. 

Within a few weeks, all these small, connected habits will have you fully prepared without much effort since it's just an extension of your daily routine. 

Habit stacking makes interview prep seamless and ensures you put your best foot forward on the big day!
