Всем привет!
Hello, everyone!
Salut, les amis!

Being a French language learner I am always eager to make an order in a restaurant myself without any help of a menu in English (if such exists). Moreover, I need to be very precise about a terrible allergy I have. Otherwise… no more learning, or teaching, or going to restaurants for your teacher Elena 😊.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊游戏。
在我小时候，小孩子没有手机和ipad，我们的游戏是更传统的。那个时候最流行的游戏是《老鹰捉小鸡》，有一个小朋友当老鹰，一个小朋友当母鸡，其他小朋友躲在后面当小鸡。母鸡要保护小鸡不被老鹰捉走，被捉到的小鸡就输了。大家在草地上跑来跑去，又紧张又好玩。我们还有其他的游戏，例如：跳绳、打弹珠（也叫打玻璃珠）和打扑克牌等等。
现在的小孩子更多的时间花在学习上，没有那么多时间在室外玩。他们很小就有手机，可以在手机上玩游戏，看视频。因此，近视戴眼镜的小孩子也越来越多。
我觉得我们小时候可以玩的东西更多，学习压力比较小。现在的孩子有机会学习更多的东西，压力也比较大。真希望他们也有机会做一些我们小时候的游戏，虽然简单，但是很快乐。
你小时候喜欢做什么游戏呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

はい、こんにちは。今回は、ポッドキャストの14回目です。私は一昨日の夜、久しぶりにカレーを作りました。前回にもお話ししたように、私は普段、カレーを食べる時は近所のインド料理レストランでテイクアウトをしています。最近、コロナウイルスの影響で、このレストランが午後の4時までしか開いていないので、夕飯が買えません。なので一昨日は自分で作ることにしました。

Hello. This is the podcast episode 14. I made curry the night before last, for the first time in a long time. As I told you last time, when I eat curry, I usually get takeout from an Indian restaurant in my neighborhood. Lately, due to the coronavirus, this restaurant is only open until four in the afternoon, so I can't buy dinner. So the day before yesterday I decided to make it myself.

材料は、人参と、玉ねぎと、じゃがいもと、牛肉と、カレールーで、カレールーというのはスパイスや、スープの素を固めたものです。野菜を炒めて、煮て、水を入れて、カレールーを入れると、カレーが完成します。ものすごく久しぶりに、自分でカレーを作りました。作り方は間違っていなかったはずなんですけど、このカレーはすごくまずかったです。

The ingredients are carrots, onions, potatoes, beef, and curry roux, which is a hardened mixture of spices and soup stock. Stir-fry the vegetables, boil, add water, and add the curry roux, and the curry is ready. It has been a very long time since I made curry by myself. I'm sure I made it right, but this curry was really bad.

私は子供の時、カレールーで作るカレーをすごく美味しいと思っていました。でも最近は、レストランのカレーばかり食べています。やっぱりレストランのカレーと比べると、カレールーで作るカレーは味が薄くて美味しくないですね。そして調べてみたら、スパイスから作るカレーは、そんなに材料が高くないし、作り方も簡単なことを発見しました。だから今度挑戦してみたいと思います。

When I was a child, I used to think that curry made with curry roux was very tasty. But recently, I have been eating only restaurant curry. Compared to restaurant curry, curry made with curry roux has a thinner taste and is not as tasty. Then I did some research and found out that curry made from spices is not that expensive and easy to make. So I'd like to try it next time.

先週はほとんど記事の仕事をしていました。前回の ポッドキャストでもお話しした通り、日本のポッドキャストについての内容です。おすすめのポッドキャストや、 自分に合ったポッドキャストの選び方や、ポッドキャストを使った勉強方法についてお話ししています。是非読んでみてください。

Ep.8 「大阪（おおさか）」へ行ってきました🍴☕️

While the focus of job interviews is typically on skills, experience, and cultural fit, understanding the potential for micromanagement can be a strategic advantage. By recognizing the signs of a micromanager during the interview process, candidates can make informed decisions about accepting a position.

A micromanager often exhibits specific behaviors during interviews. They might excessively inquire about minute details of past roles, demonstrating a potential for future over-involvement. Overemphasis on control, rather than outcomes, could be another red flag. Conversely, candidates who have experienced micromanagement can leverage their insights during interviews. They can highlight their ability to work independently, problem-solving skills, and resilience in challenging environments.

Preparing for potential micromanagement involves understanding your own tolerance for control. Reflect on past experiences and identify your preferred work style. During the interview, ask questions that reveal the company's management style. Inquire about team autonomy, decision-making processes, and performance expectations. By proactively addressing this issue, candidates can increase the likelihood of finding a suitable work environment and avoid falling victim to micromanagement.

Ultimately, recognizing the potential for micromanagement is a valuable tool for job seekers. By being prepared and asking the right questions, candidates can make informed decisions about their career paths and increase their chances of finding a fulfilling and productive role.
