3- Finding a new job - پیدا کردن کار جدید

みなさん、こんにちは。おげんきですか。日本は3連休です。そして、台風が来ています。
大型の台風が九州に近づいているようです。九州にお住まいの方、大丈夫ですか。気をつけてください。
19日の月曜日は敬老の日で、23日の金曜日は秋分の日なので、今週は休みが多いです。九月のこの連休のことをシルバーウイークって言うんですよ。

我が家の高校2年生の息子は、今日は学校の文化祭。今朝は台風の影響で雨足が強かったのですが、朝6時半に家を出て行きました。青春ですね。「文化祭、何をするの」って聞くと、「モグラたたき」って。えー、何それって感じです。人間モグラたたきのようですよ。楽しいことを考えますね。
コロナ前は入場制限もなく自由に学校見学に行けましたが、コロナ禍ということで、インターネットで予約してからの入場のようです。面倒な時代ですね。でも、インターネットでの配信も少しあるみたいなので、わざわざ学校まで足を運ばなくても、文化祭の様子を垣間見ることができます。これは、親にはありがたいですね。

娘は明日が誕生日です。で、雨ですが、原宿まで洋服を買いに行きたいと。日本の小学生はおしゃれが大好きですよ。
なので、大雨の中、私の姉も一緒に原宿にお買い物に行ってきました。私の姉ですから、娘にとってはおばさんですね。たくさん試着して、さんざん悩んで洋服を買いました。
娘との買い物は、私自身も楽しみなんです。あー、こんなのが好きなんだとか、大きくなったなあって思いながら、楽しく買い物しましたよ。原宿は雨でも混んでいました。

みなさんはどんな週末でしたか。

SWE 172 - "Go with the flow" Travel Update

Parrots are known for being able to copy some of the sounds that people make — they might squawk "hello" or "how are you?" if they get used to hearing words and phrases like these. They might even say some rude things!

Some birds are also able to learn the names for objects — and identify them.

And a 5-year-old parrot in the US has been recognized by Guinness World Records after correctly identifying 12 objects in three minutes.

That record-breaking bird is an African gray parrot named Apollo, who lives in Florida. He can identify things like books, bugs and socks.

He's become popular on TikTok, where he has about 3 million followers. He also has around 1.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel called "Apollo and Frens."

And a TikTok video of Apollo asking questions from 2023 has been watched 66 million times.

Apollo actually broke the record in 2023 but he's among the stars in the Guinness World Records book that was released in September.

The parrot is owned by a couple named Dalton and Victoria Mason. They're content creators and they've been working hard to train the bird.

The owners say they teach Apollo as if he were a child of preschool age.

"We teach him as much as we can," the couple told Guinness, adding that they focus on things that Apollo wants to focus on.

Researchers have found that some African gray parrots are able to do better at some cognitive tasks than 5-year-old children.

And Apollo's owners plan to keep teaching the bird to see how much he can learn and how many more records he can break.

Record-Breaking Parrot Can Identify and Name Objects

If you want to encourage someone to do something then maybe you can give them an incentive, or incentivise them to do something! This is a formal word that we can use to talk about giving people reasons to achieve their goals and rewards as encouragement toward certain behaviors. Another great piece of professional, business English vocabulary that you can use at work!
