안녕하세요.

오늘은 새해 계획을 말할 거예요.

여러분은 연초에(at the beginning of the year), 계획을 세워요? (계획을 세우다 make a plan)
저는 사실(actually) 새해 계획을 잘 세우지 않아요.

계획을 세우면 꼭 그 계획을 지켜야 할 것 같아서, 조금 부담스러워요. 
(계획을 지키다 keep to plan, a.부담스럽다 burdensome)

그래서 계획 대신, 올해 하고 싶은 것들을 더 생각하는 편이에요. 

2024년에는 작년보다 더 성장하고 싶어요. (v. 성장하다 develop)
한국어 선생님으로서도 더 성장하고 싶고, 인간적으로도 더 좋은 사람이 되고 싶어요.

그래서 책도 더 많이 읽고 자기 계발도 더 많이 하고 
좋아하는 사람들과 즐거운 시간을 더 많이 보내고 싶어요. 
(자기 계발 self-improvement, self-developement)

영어 공부도 더 하고, 다른 외국어들도 더 공부할 거예요. 
옛날에 독일어하고 러시아어하고 중국어를 공부했었는데 연습하지 않아서 다 잊어버렸어요. 독일어 공부를 다시 시작해 볼 생각이에요 ㅎㅎ

아! 그리고 원래 건강에 별로 관심이 없었는데,
이제 서른 살이 되어서 좀 건강에 신경을 써 보려고 해요.

저는 운동을 너~무 싫어해서, 운동보다는 건강한 음식을 먹는 것으로 건강을 더 신경 쓰려고 해요. 라면을 아주 좋아하는데 라면을 먹는 횟수를 좀 줄여야 겠어요 ㅎㅎ

여러분은 새해 계획이 있어요? 연초에 어떤 계획을 세워요?
올해 어떤 사람이 되고 싶어요? 무엇을 하고 싶어요?

반짝반짝 빛나는 여러분을 언제나 응원합니다.
새해에는 소망하는 모든 일들이 다 이루지기를 진심으로 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

 Dealing with Internet Outages: A Realistic Role-Play for English Learners Real English Conversations Podcast On Italki


Acing a job interview goes beyond showcasing your skills and experience. It's about persuasion – convincing the interviewer you're the perfect fit. Here are three key techniques to transform your interview from good to great:

1. The Power of Storytelling: Facts and figures are important, but stories resonate. Weave a compelling narrative about a time you faced a challenge in a previous role.  Describe your thought process, actions taken, and the positive outcome. This not only highlights your skills but also demonstrates your problem-solving abilities and impact.

2. The "Why" Factor:  Don't just explain what you can do; connect it to the company's mission. Research the company's values and goals. During your interview, explain why their vision aligns with your own aspirations. This showcases your genuine interest and how you'd contribute to their success.

3. Anticipation is Key:  Prepare for their questions, but also anticipate potential objections about your experience or qualifications.  For example, if you lack direct experience in a specific area, highlight transferable skills or relevant coursework.  Have data or references ready to back up your claims, demonstrating your initiative and preparedness.

By mastering these techniques, you'll move from simply answering questions to shaping the narrative of the interview. You'll showcase your passion, problem-solving skills, and alignment with the company, ultimately persuading them that you're the ideal candidate for the job. Remember, a successful interview is a two-way street. Let your enthusiasm and persuasive communication shine through, and you'll be well on your way to landing your dream job.
