『日本で働く、私の日本語』へようこそ！第7回の配信です。

前回の配信では、上司をハラハラさせずに安心してもらえる中間報告のフレーズ「〇〇の件、現在〜」をご紹介しました。

仕事でうっかりミスをしてしまったとき、パニックになって「すみません！」とただ謝る言葉ばかり繰り返していませんか？
実は、日本の職場でミスが起きたときに一番大切なのは、謝罪とセットで「次にどうするか」という具体的な行動をすぐに見せることなんです。

「すみません」を連発するだけだと頼りない印象を与えてしまいますが、解決策を提示できれば「誠実で責任感があるな」と逆に信頼を深めるチャンスになります。

今回は、万が一の失敗でも上司を安心させ、プロフェッショナルな対応ができるフレーズをご紹介します！

🎧 今回のキーフレーズ：
「大変申し訳ございません。すぐに〇〇の方法で修正いたします！」

Episode 24: Behind Closed Doors: Exploring the Secrets of Daily Life Around the World Part 2

Another part 2 topic for the Summer. I also have part 3 example answers on my website.


“Well, as I live in a very busy city, I sometimes really need to escape the noise, and crowds, as well as finding a place where I can just chill out and relax in peace.  My favourite place to go is a small cafe which is about 3 kilometres from my home, and only takes me about 10 minutes to get to on my motorbike. The cafe is located in the suburbs on an extremely beautiful lake, surrounded by many different kinds of trees, and is a world apart from the busy city centre.

 

I try to go there at least 3 or 4 times a week, and usually bring my laptop with me, as I find I can be very productive in this peaceful environment, and get lots of work done, in a short space of time. I love being able to sit at a quiet table outside on a perfect sunny day, with the many trees to shade me from the hot sun. I’m also able to sit right on the bank of the lake, with a view which is out of this world.

 

I guess the main reason I love to go to this place is because it’s just so quiet and peaceful, and I can get away from all the noise, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city centre, which sometimes drives me crazy. Another reason I like to go to this place is that I find the tranquil environment really, both inspires and motivates me in my work….. And I’m able to be much more productive than I would be if sitting in a noisy office or a busy city centre coffee shop. So…yea, this is a quiet place i love to go to.
