花粉症は、花粉が鼻や目から入って、くしゃみが出たり目がかゆくなったりする病気です。
東京都は、2月15日から杉の花粉が飛んでいることがわかったと言いました。去年より9日、遅くなっています。
今年、東京都では去年の1.5倍ぐらい多く杉の花粉が飛びそうです。そして3月の中ごろにいちばん多く飛びそうです。東京都のウェブサイトやツイッターで、どのくらい花粉が飛んでいるか見ることができます。
専門の医者は「新型コロナウイルスになった人が花粉症になると、くしゃみでウイルスを広げてしまうことがあります。くしゃみをするときはマスクの上からハンカチで鼻や口をおおうようにしてください」と言っています。
＜ニュースについてのコメント＞
私は花粉症になったことがありません。毎年、春になると、「今年は花粉症になるんじゃないか」と心配になります。日本ではたくさんの人が花粉症に悩んでいます。コロナがおわって、マスクをつけなくてよくなっても、花粉症のためにマスクをつける人が増えるかもしれませんね。

The Destructor of of Motivation 

I don't understand why people buy such poor quality items of clothing, wear them a few times and then throw them away. It's terrible for the environment.
I hate the fashion trade. I read somewhere that companies can sell a dress for $5, but they don't make any profit. They're just aiming to attract more consumers to their websites so that they'll spend more money.
My brother's a fashion designer, but I think designer labels are a waste of money. I just shop in high street stores and I only buy casual clothes.

Negotiations are a dance – a balance between collaboration and advocating for your position. Confidence is, of course, key, and the language you use plays a crucial role in conveying it. 

Here's how to harness the power of words in three key areas:

1. Framing & Highlighting Value:

Start Strong: Open with a positive, confident statement that positions your value. Instead of "We're happy to discuss this opportunity," try "Our solution has a proven track record of increasing sales by X%."

Focus on Benefits: Shift the conversation from features to the benefits your offer brings. Don't just say "Our software is user-friendly," explain how it "streamlines workflows and saves your team time."

2. Concession Language with Strength:

Conditional Agreements: Acknowledge their points without conceding defeat. Use phrases like "That's a valid concern. To address it, we can offer..." This shows you're listening while steering the discussion.

"We Can" vs. "We Might": Use strong verbs that project confidence. "We can offer a discount for a bulk order" sounds more assured than "We might be able to consider a discount."

3. Closing the Deal with Clarity:

Active Voice & Ownership: Phrases like "We propose a contract with..." sound stronger than "Perhaps we could have a contract."

Summarize & Confirm: Recap key points and confirm next steps. End with "By finalizing the contract today, we can begin implementation next week"

Confident language isn't about aggression; it's about clear, persuasive communication. By strategically using these tips, you'll project confidence, effectively advocate for your value, and navigate negotiations with power and professionalism.
