How many times have you been trapped in a boring presentation? How many times have you given a boring presentation? And why are so many presentations boring by the way?

Homem finge a própria morte para descobrir quem aparece no funeral

Hello, everyone! This is Kate.

Welcome to my podcast. Today we are going to study one very interesting and important grammar, which is gonna help you to sound like a native speaker.

Ready?-Let’s go!


Okay, imagine that you need to go to the hairdressers. Your hair is long and obviously it’s time to do something with it. How would you tell this to your companion?  

“I’m gonna cut my hair?”, but you are not doing it yourself, so, there is a better option.

If you are getting some services, there is a construction which simplifies everything.

To have something done.

Listen to my examples:

I have my hair cut every month.
I’m having my hair cut right now.
I’ve decided. I will have my hair cut!

The verb have is used like any other verb and it follows all the rules.

Present simple: I have my windows cleaned every week. Someone cleans them for me.
Present Perfect: I have just had my dinner cooked. Someone cooked it for me.
Past Continuous: I was having my homework checked yesterday.


You see, it’s super easy and handy!


Practise yourself, here are some sentences in the description below:

I didn't cook my dinner myself. Someone prepared it for me.
I usually don't clean the windows by myself.
I have never cut my hair myself
I will not fix my car. My dad will do it for me.
I won’t check my blood pressure myself.

Have something done: WHAT IS IT?

Use mirroring - It’s one of the simplest, most invisible, easiest ways to deal with insanely aggressive-assertive people. It builds a connection. You don't have to agree or disagree with people. You can physically match their body language / position and say the magic phrase, which is >>> "It sounds like you have a good reason for saying that."<<< This is an important signal for the other side. When you say that, the other person then feels like they have got your attention. They also really want to be heard as they've thought a lot about what they want to say. It shifts to a collaborative relationship.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL ABUELO TOMAS.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes una familia grande o pequeña?

2. ¿Que tipo de actividades haces con tu familia?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Mi abuelo Tomás tiene ochenta años y vive con nosotros. Tiene buena salud, aunque a veces dice que le duele una pierna, pero camina ágilmente cuando le llaman sus amigos para jugar a las cartas después de comer.

Todos los domingos me lleva a ver el futbol y después me compra un helado.

En vacaciones siempre viene con nosotros y le gusta mucho ir a la playa. A veces discute con mi padre cuando quiere ir a la montaña. Al final siempre se sale con la suya y mi padre acaba cediendo. Para compensarle siempre nos invita el primer día de vacaciones a un buen restaurante.

Quiero mucho a mi abuelo.

Apps are so common in our day-to-day lives that we don't even think twice about using them. Google Maps, Spotify, Gmail, banking, the list goes on and on.
 
In this episode, we thought it would be interesting to talk about the top apps and explain why we find them so useful!

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は19℃。

北海道は日本の中で1番上にあります。
ですので、寒くなるのは日本のどこよりも早い場所です。
今10月中旬ですが、この時期、ちょうど紅葉シーズンをむかえています。

海外から旅行で来られる方も増えていると思いますので、今日は北海道の紅葉スポットについて話そうと思います！私もまだ行ったことがないところですが、近々行きたいと考えています。

① 円山公園
札幌駅から4キロほどの場所にある、旅行客でも簡単に行ける場所です。札幌駅から歩いても行けます。たぶん1時間ぐらい。ここは、結構大きな公園です。
札幌神社、運動場、動物園などもあります。
でも1番は原始林とつながっているこの公園にはたくさんの自然があります。
この公園の紅葉はとても綺麗なようです。
11月のはじめぐらいまでが紅葉の見ごろかもしれませんね。

② 北海道大学
次は北海道大学です。こちらは、札幌駅から歩いて10分ほどです。こちらはイチョウ並木が有名です。まっすぐの道に、70本ほどのイチョウが植えられています。
天気が良ければとても気持ちいいかもしれませんね。


はい、ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
今日は北海道の札幌駅から手軽に行ける、紅葉のオススメスポット2ヶ所をお伝えしました。

もし、ちょうどこの時期、2022/10月中旬から11月初旬ぐらいに北海道、札幌に来られる方がいたら、ぜひ、時間を作って行ってみてください！ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
