【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は7月10日水曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、「アイス」と「氷（こおり）」の違いについてお話しします。

みなさん、夏にアイスを食べるのは好きですか？アイスは甘くて冷たいお菓子です。日本語で「アイス」と言いますが、英語では「ice cream」と言いますね。一方、英語の「ice」は日本語で何ていうか知っていますか？日本語で「氷（こおり）」のことです。これらについて詳しく説明します。

まず、「アイス」について説明します。「アイス」は、甘くて冷たいお菓子のことです。夏の暑い日に食べると、とてもおいしいです。アイスは、子どもから大人までみんな大好きです。夏にアイスを食べると、気持ちがいいですね。

次に、「氷（こおり）」について説明します。「氷」は、水を冷やしてかたくしたものです。飲み物を冷たくするために使います。暑い日に冷たい飲み物を飲むとき、氷が入っているととても気持ちがいいです。

「アイス」と「氷」の違いがわかりましたか？「アイス」は甘くて冷たいお菓子で、「氷」は飲み物を冷たくするためのものです。同じ「冷たい」ものですが、指す意味が違いますね。

では、ここで「アイス」と「氷」を使ったいくつかの例文を見てみましょう。
	1.	「アイスを食べる。」
	2.	「ジュースに氷を入れる。」
	3.	「かき氷を作る。」

かき氷について少し詳しく説明しましょう。かき氷は、氷を細かくして、その上に甘いジュースみたいなものや果物をかけたものです。夏に食べると、とてもおいしいです。

日本では、夏にたくさんのアイスを楽しむことができます。いろいろな種類のアイスがあります。例えば、チョコレートに包まれたアイスやジュースみたいに飲むアイス、コーヒー味のアイスなどがあります。いろいろな味や形のアイスがあるので、ぜひいろいろ試してみてください。

ここで、みなさんに問題です。「アイス」は何のことですか？
冷たいお菓子
	2.  暑い飲み物
	3.	冷たい飲み物に入れるもの
正解は「1.冷たいお菓子」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。「アイス」と「氷」について、わかりましたか？ぜひ、これからも日本語の勉強を続けてくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

Hi, everyone, Today I'm going to give you the best and the real life example answer to What are you weaknesses question?
Welcome to "Career Insights," the podcast where we explore essential career advice and strategies to help you succeed in the workplace. I'm your host, Anthony, and today we're diving into a common but tricky interview question: "What are your weaknesses?"

Understanding the Purpose
First, it's important to understand why interviewers ask this question. They want to see if you:
Have self-awareness: Can you identify areas where you need improvement?
Are honest and transparent: Are you willing to acknowledge your imperfections?
Are proactive about personal development: Do you take steps to address your weaknesses?
Choosing the Right Weakness
When selecting a weakness to discuss, consider the following:
Relevance: Choose a weakness that is relevant but not critical to the job you're applying for. For example, if you're applying for a financial analyst position, you might not want to highlight a weakness in attention to detail.
Authenticity: Be genuine. Interviewers can often tell if you're being insincere or giving a cliché answer.
Improvement: Select a weakness that you are actively working on improving. This shows initiative and a growth mindset.

Trasferirsi in Sicilia
Elena vive a Ferrara vicino a Bologna, con il marito Igor e la figlia Luisa.
Elena è nata a San Pietroburgo in Russia e poi ha lavorato a Londra come traduttrice dal russo all’inglese. Ma dopo alcuni anni si è accorta che voleva vivere in Italia. Da bambina vedeva sempre molti film italiani e l’Italia è entrata subito nel suo cuore. Appena lei è arrivata in Italia si è trasferita a Modena, dove ha trovato lavoro come insegnante di russo in una scuola privata e dove ha conosciuto Igor. Igor è nato a Pachino, un piccolo paese della Sicilia e a venti anni si è trasferito a Reggio Emilia, per frequentare un corso da pasticcere. Adesso lavora come pasticcere presso una famosa pasticceria del centro di Ferrara e tutti lo conoscono perché prepara dolci buonissimi. Elena e Igor ormai vivono a Ferrara da circa dieci anni; i primi tempi uscivano insieme quasi ogni sera per andare a mangiare fuori con gli amici o per vedere qualche concerto, ma da quando è nata Luisa, hanno molto meno tempo. Tutti e due amano molto l’Italia ma il clima di Ferrara per loro è troppo freddo e umido. Inoltre tutti e due amano molto il mare che però non c’è a Ferrara. Allora visto che Igor guadagna molto bene ed è un pasticcere molto richiesto, stanno pensando di trasferirsi nel sud Italia, a Catania e di aprire una pasticceria. Catania per loro è il posto ideale per vivere perché c’è spesso il sole, il cibo è squisito, le persone sono accoglienti e poi…è sul mare!
“Quando vivi in un posto dove c’è il mare non ti senti mai triste!” Ha detto un giorno Luisa, loro figlia, e loro hanno sorriso. 
Elena vuole cambiare città entro la fine del 2023 e per farlo devono dare un preavviso al proprietario della casa che affittano di sei mesi. 
Per la fine dell’anno, quando tutta la famiglia si riunisce per la cena del veglione, esprimono tutti insieme il desiderio di cambiare città e festeggiano allegramente il loro progetto per il futuro.
