16. Me And Mom 我和妈妈

Poesia in cui Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954), poliedrica poetessa e pittrice messicana, riflette sul valore della vita, una vita che, nonostante la grande sofferenza fisica e mentale che le ha causato, non ha mai smesso di amare.

"Di Struggente Bellezza"

Ho smesso di contare le volte in cui,
arrivata alla seconda riga,
ho cancellato e riscritto tutto nuovamente.
Cercavo un inizio ad effetto,
qualcosa di poetico e vero allo stesso tempo,
qualcosa di grandioso, ma agli occhi.

Non ci sono riuscita.
Poi ho capito,
ricordando ciò che non avevo mai saputo:
che per i grandi cuori
che muoiono nel corpo
ma che continuano a battere nel respiro della notte,
non ci sono canoni o bellezze regolari,
armonie esteriori,
ma tuoni e temporali devastanti
che portano ad illuminare un fiore,
nascosto,
di struggente bellezza.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの24回目です。寒くなくなりましたが、天気のいい日と悪い日が交互に続いています。昨日は休みでした。天気が悪かったので久しぶりに漫画を読みました。漫画は、子供の時読むのと、大人になってから読むのでは印象が違いますね。昔読んだことのある漫画でしたが、重要な部分はほとんど覚えていませんでした。

Hello. This is episode 24 of my podcast. It is no longer cold, but the weather is alternating between good and bad. Yesterday was my day off. The weather was bad, soI read comics for the first time in ages. Reading them as a child and reading it as an adult gives a very different experience. I had read this manga in the past, but I could barely remember the important parts.

春なので、面接を受ける人が多いです。今日は日本の面接について話したいと思います。面接の種類は様々です。簡単なアルバイトの面接だと、数分の面接をして、だいたい１週間以内に結果がわかります。大きな会社の面接だと、１ヶ月ぐらいかけて、３回以上面接をすることもあります。最近はオンラインの面接も増えています。

It is spring and many people have interviews. Today I would like to talk about interviews in Japan. There are different types of interviews. For a simple part-time job interview, the interview lasts a few minutes and you will usually find out the result within a week. For interviews with large companies, it may take about a month and you may be interviewed three or more times. More and more interviews are being conducted online these days.

面接を受けるときは、履歴書を持っていきます。日本の履歴書は、フォーマットが決まっています。「履歴書」という名前の用紙が、文房具屋や、100円ショップや、コンビニで売っています。英語圏の履歴書は、自分でドキュメントを作らなければいけませんが、日本の履歴書は、用紙を買って、空欄を埋めるだけなので、少し楽です。

When you are interviewed, take your CV with you. Japanese CVs have a fixed format. You can buy a form called "Rirekisyo" at stationery stores, 100 yen shops and convenience stores. While in English-speaking countries you have to create your own document, the Japanese CV is a little easier as you just buy the form and fill in the blanks.

英語圏の履歴書と違うところは、日本の履歴書には、必ず生年月日を書かなければいけないところです。他には、履歴書に証明写真を貼らなければいけません。免許証やIDに使うものと同じ証明写真が必要なので、写真撮影だけで1000円ぐらいかかります。しかも、証明写真を撮るために、髪型を整えたり、メイクをしたり、きちんとした服を着なければならないので、面倒ですね。

One Minute Challenge: Who are you grateful to?

Today's one-minute challenge is to think of people or a person that you feel grateful for.

Who is this person?

How did you get acquainted with this person?

What did they help you with?

And what are the consequences of their help? How did your life change as a result?

Take some time. You can listen to the recording several times to answer the questions. Listen to it. Reading and listening are two modalities (languages of the mind, if you will). Use them both to stimulate your mind differently!

And apply for my private 1-on-1 coaching to go from an English learner to a confident English communicator, whether for job interview preparation, an IELTS speaking exam, or improving your business English for a career and promotions.

See you in my 1-1 classes.
