14_Selbstfahrende Autos

(A)  Ob es uns gefällt oder nicht: Selbstfahrende Autos werden kommen. Für die meisten Menschen ist es eine EIGENARTIGE Vorstellung, in so einem Auto zu sitzen. Man hat das Gefühl des Kontrollverlusts und das ist den wenigsten Leuten angenehm. Dabei sagt eine STUDIE, es könnten 90% der tödlichen Unfälle vermieden werden, wenn keine Menschen am Steuer säßen. 
(B)  Was aber soll man in einem computergesteuerten Auto tun? Nun ja, man könnte sich entspannen, man könnte in Ruhe lesen, man könnte PLAUDERN, man könnte sogar am Laptop arbeiten. Bei einem hohen Anteil von selbstfahrenden Autos wäre auch der Verkehr besser zu kontrollieren und damit würden die LEIDIGEN Staus der Vergangenheit angehören. 
(C)  „Ja, aber was ist, wenn die Technik ausfällt?“, fragen die Kritiker. Und immer wieder kommt die Frage mit dem Kindergarten-Ausflug und dem Spaziergang der Bewohner eines Seniorenheims: Gegen wen sollte sich ein selbstfahrendes Auto entscheiden, wenn eine Kollision unvermeidlich ist? Aber so weit sind wir noch lange nicht. Und man könnte alle Kritiker darauf hinweisen, dass Flugzeuge schon längst autonom fliegen.

Ciudad Perdida: La Joya Oculta de la Sierra Nevada

The boardroom shimmered with anticipation. It was our moment – the chance to present our green energy solution to a potential billion-dollar partner.  Months of research and development hung in the balance.  As CEO, I knew the presentation had to be flawless.

Flashback six weeks.  We'd made the initial contact with them, but our initial proposal was met with a lukewarm response.  Their feedback – "unclear goals" and "lack of data-driven evidence."  It was a harsh lesson.  We'd underestimated the importance of clear communication.

This time, we went all in on preparation.  We drilled down on their specific needs, tailoring our presentation to address their environmental goals and cost-saving projections.  Data became our mantra.  Charts, graphs, and case studies were meticulously crafted to showcase the impact of our technology.

Anticipating questions was paramount.  Our team planned every scenario, rehearsing responses until they were clear, concise, and confident.  Even the presentation slides – clean, visually appealing, and focused on the message – became a communication tool.

Fast forward to the meeting.  My opening statement resonated.  It wasn't just about our technology; it was about a shared vision for a sustainable future.  The data painted a compelling picture, each statistic linked back to the investor's needs.  When questions arose, our team delivered prepared, impactful responses.

The atmosphere shifted.  Their executives leaned forward, engaged.  The follow-up discussions were lively, brimming with possibilities.  We left that day with a handshake and a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks later, they signed the partnership agreement.  Looking back, it wasn't just our technology that won them over.  It was the preparation, the clear communication, and the confidence we exuded. In business, effective communication is the bridge between good ideas and successful partnerships.  And that bridge is built on preparation.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン2の11回目です。現在は大学で、社会教育経営について学んでいます。大学の教科書が増えてきて、本棚のスペースが足りなくなってきました。教科書は紙の本より電子書籍がいいです。だけど本屋に行くのは好きです。

Hello, this is episode 11 of season 2 of my podcast. I am currently studying Social Education Management at university. The number of university textbooks is increasing and I am running out of space on my bookshelves. I prefer e-books to paper books for textbooks. But I like going to bookshops.

最近日本語の授業で、お寺と神社に行くときのマナーについて質問がありました。イスラム教のモスクに入る時は、薄着ではいけません。「薄着」とは、あまり服を着ていない状態のことです。たとえば、夏の服装です。たくさん服を着ている状態は、「厚着」と言います。日本では宗教に入っていない人の割合が60%以上なので、宗教に関するルールはあまり厳しくありません。お寺で祈る時は、胸の前で手を合わせたまま、お辞儀を１回します。神社では、お辞儀を２回して、そのあと２回手を叩いて、最後にもう一度お辞儀をします。お寺で祈る時は、手を叩いてはいけません。

In a recent Japanese class, there was a question about etiquette when visiting temples and shrines. When entering a Muslim mosque, you must not wear usugi. 'Usugi' (light clothing) means not wearing much clothing. For example, summer clothing. Wearing a lot of clothes is called 'atsugi' (heavy clothing). In Japan, more than 60% of people are not religious, so the rules regarding religion are not very strict. When praying at a temple, you bow once, keeping your hands clasped in front of your chest. At shrines, you bow twice, then clap your hands twice and bow again at the end. When praying at a temple, you must not clap your hands.

私はときどき、italkiのニュースレターの記事を書いています。これは日本語を勉強している人向けの記事ではなくて、日本語を教えている先生向けの記事です。授業を効果的に行う方法についてお話ししています。最近、勉強の仕方について考える機会がよくあります。今日の授業でも生徒さんと、どんな勉強方法が効率がいいか話し合いました。彼は同じ本を100回読むと、記憶が深くなると言っていました。面白い方法だと思いました。勉強で一番大事なのは、続けることだと思います。続けている限り、下手になることはありません。運動を続けている限り、健康でいられるのと同じです。上手になることも重要ですが、続けることに一番意味があると思います。
