Lily's Chinese 对话

20240109高尔基致罗曼罗兰的信

Calling for Help
PETER: Hey! That car just ran a red light and hit that truck!
GAIL: Is anyone hurt?
PETER: I don’t know … let’s call 911. … Hello? I’d like to report
a car accident near the post office on Charles Street.
It looks like a man is hurt. Yes, it just happened. OK, 
thanks. Bye.
GAIL: What did they say?
PETER: They’re going to send an ambulance and a police car 
right away.
GAIL: Good, they’re here. I hope the man is OK.
PETER: I know. You have to be so careful when you’re driving.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hey! This expression is used to show surprise. Notice how That car just ran a red light
and hit that truck! is said with a lot of energy.
• Is anyone hurt? This is a yes/no question, so the intonation rises at the end. Notice 
how this question is asked in a worried way.
• 911 is the phone number you dial for emergency services. The person who answers 
will ask you questions about the emergency situation and then send out the necessary 
emergency services, which may include police officers, firefighters and an ambulance.
• I’d like to report a car accident near the post office on Charles Street. Notice how 
the key words “car accident,” “post office” and “Charles Street” are stressed. These are 
the important details that the emergency services need. 
• It just happened is a way of saying “It happened a moment ago.” Notice the stress on 
“just,” which emphasizes that the accident happened very, very recently.
• What did they say? Notice how “say” is emphasized, but the intonation falls at the end 
of the word. This is a “what” question, so the intonation falls at the end

Day 13: Calling for help

غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا تِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس يشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمَّة بَس.
وهَذا الشِي يِعْكِس صُورَة مِثَالِيَّة لحَيَاة بَعْض النَاس اللي هي عَكْس الصُورَة الحَقِيقِيَة.
بَس كَمَان هَذا الشَي يِسَبِّب ضَغْط عَالِي على هَذُول الأَشْخَاص لأنو لازم يِظْهَرُوا دَائِمًا بِصُورَة مِثَالِيَّة.
بِالمُقَابِل, الأَشْخَاص الآخَرِين يقَارْنُوا حَيَاتْهُم مَع حَيَاة هَذُول الأَشْخَاص. 
بَس لِلْأَسَف هذه المُقَارَنِة ممكن تْأَدِّي للشُعُور بِالإِكْتِئَاب.
لازم نِتْذَكَّر دَائِمًا إِنُّو الأشياء اللي قَاعْدِين نْشُوفْهَا على السوشال ميديا ما بِتْكُون الصُورَة الكَامْلِة, وكُل إِنْسَان عِنْدُه مَشَاكِل بِالحَيَاة والحَيَاة المَثَالِيَّة مَا مَوجُودِة!

Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, the other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we are seeing on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.

Personal biases held by HR managers - how to overcome them?

Personal biases at work refer to the subconscious preferences, opinions, or prejudices that individuals hold towards certain people or groups based on their personal beliefs, experiences, or societal influences.

These biases can affect various aspects of the work environment, including hiring, promotion, performance evaluation, decision-making, and interpersonal interactions

Pay attention to potential biases that may arise during the job interview process and proactively prepare strategies to handle them effectively in the moment.

By actively listening and observing, you can identify any biases that may surface during the interview, such as personal preferences, stereotypes, or preconceived notions. Being aware of these biases can help you navigate the interview more effectively and present yourself in the best possible light.

To ensure you are well-prepared, focus on highlighting your skills, abilities, and relevant experiences during the interview. Emphasize your accomplishments and provide concrete examples to demonstrate your qualifications. Practice articulating your thoughts and responses in a persuasive and confident manner.

If you feel that personal assistance would be beneficial in enhancing your interview skills and effectively addressing biases, I am available to provide personalized 1-1 training. 

This training can help you develop strategies to showcase your strengths, communicate effectively, and navigate any biases that may arise during the interview process. Request a 1-1 training session with me now to receive tailored support in preparing for your job interviews.

Desde los tacos, ya sean de pastor, de suadero, de longaniza, de canasta ; o ya sean las quesadillas, el caldo tlalpeño, las chalupas, el guajolote hidalguense, las enchiladas, las enmoladas; o simplemente para acompañar el guiso de cualquier mexicano, la tortilla es el alimento primordial.
En una mesa mexicana, a la hora de la comida, se ve el guisado, las aguas frescas para tomar, y un paquete de tortillas, generalmente de un kilo, para ir degustando, con una mano tu platillo en la cuchara, y con la otra un pedazo de tortilla. De esta manera, la tortilla se vuelve esencial en la dieta mexicana. 
¿Cuándo comenzó a servirse de esta manera? ¿Por qué es tan importante en la dieta de un mexicano? ¿Cuál es el origen de la tortilla?
Pues resultó que, la tortilla, es un aditamento gastronómico que nos acompaña desde al menos el año 500 a. C, pues en la región de Oaxaca se han encontrado vestigios de planchas de arcilla para preparar tortillas que datan de esa época.
El maíz, siendo la base principal de alimento para las civilizaciones mesoamericanas, se utiliza al mismo en diferentes formas. Los conquistadores y los frailes que convertían a los indígenas, localizarían a la tortilla como un pan de maíz. Los conquistadores creían que era como un pan cocido, o un pan que no tiene volumen.
Sus técnicas para preparar la tortilla, variaban considerablemente. Por ejemplo, en el caso de las tortillas prehispánicas, la masa era moldeada con las manos limpias, por lo que quedaba con una apariencia poco regular. A lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XX aparecerán nuevas máquinas, algunas semi-manuales, como las  que diseñaron Salvador Guzmán en 1935 y la fabricación por Félix Rábago en 1936. Ambas consistentes en dos planchas de metal, pero sustituyen la palanca por un rasero que extiende la masa de nixtamal en el agujero circular que se encuentra en la plancha superior, de modo que al levantar esto se obtiene el disco de masa.
