Slow Japanese

Episode #82 - Pointless rule in schools

Yaş otuz beş! yolun yarısı eder.

Dante gibi ortasındayız ömrün.

Delikanlı çağımızdaki cevher,

Yalvarmak, yakarmak nafile bugün,

Gözünün yaşına bakmadan gider.

 

Şakaklarıma kar mı yağdı ne var?

Benim mi Allahım bu çizgili yüz?

Ya gözler altındaki mor halkalar?

Neden böyle düşman görünürsünüz,

Yıllar yılı dost bildiğim aynalar?

 

Zamanla nasıl değişiyor insan!

Hangi resmime baksam ben değilim.

Nerde o günler, o şevk, o heyecan?

Bu güler yüzlü adam ben değilim;

Yalandır kaygısız olduğum yalan.

 

Hayal meyal şeylerden ilk aşkımız;

Hatırası bile yabancı gelir.

Hayata beraber başladığımız,

Dostlarla da yollar ayrıldı bir bir;

Gittikçe artıyor yalnızlığımız.

 

Gökyüzünün başka rengi de varmış!

Geç farkettim taşın sert olduğunu.

Su insanı boğar, ateş yakarmış!

Her doğan günün bir dert olduğunu,

İnsan bu yaşa gelince anlarmış.

 

Ayva sarı nar kırmızı sonbahar!

Her yıl biraz daha benimsediğim.

Ne dönüp duruyor havada kuşlar?

Nerden çıktı bu cenaze? ölen kim?

Bu kaçıncı bahçe gördüm tarumar?

 

Neylersin ölüm herkesin başında.

Uyudun uyanamadın olacak.

Kimbilir nerde, nasıl, kaç yaşında?

Bir namazlık saltanatın olacak,

Taht misali o musalla taşında.

How to prepare for ielts speaking? 5 Proven Steps to Help Your Ace It.

Forget the fancy suits and practiced answers.  Job interviews are about why, not what.  Why are you here? Why should we care?  The truth is, the scripted responses you rehearse might not resonate.  But what if you could tap into your authentic self, the one brimming with passion and ideas?  That's the power of mastering impromptu speaking.

Think of an interview not as an interrogation, but a conversation fueled by purpose.  Impromptu speaking allows you to sound natural and convincing.  It lets you ditch the script and dive straight into the wellspring of your "Why."  The interviewer throws a curveball question?  No problem.  You can think on your feet,  demonstrating your ability to adapt and solve problems –  essential skills in today's ever-changing workplace.

Imagine being asked about a weakness.  A scripted response sounds robotic.  But with impromptu fluency, you can talk about a past challenge, how you learned from it, and how that experience fuels your drive to succeed.  It's a story, not a statistic.  Stories connect.  They show your human side, your ability to overcome obstacles – all qualities that make you a compelling candidate. 

Confidence is another perk.  When you can speak confidently and articulately without a script, you project a powerful presence.  It shows you believe in yourself and your ideas –  the kind of person who inspires trust and gets things done.  So, ditch the memorization and embrace the impromptu.  It's not about having all the answers, but about the passion and purpose behind them.  That's the "Why" that will land you the job.

Don't wait for the interview to start honing your impromptu skills.  Start conversations with friends, family, or even strangers.  Challenge yourself to think on your feet and express yourself clearly.  Record yourself and watch it back.  Sign up for a session and we can focus on improving your impromptu speaking ability to make sure you get hired!
