Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. My name is Carl. Today I want to talk about breaking the ice. So breaking the ice means meeting someone new that you don't know for the first time. So when you go to a party or you go to a new workplace or a new school, you're always going to have the occasion where you need to meet people for the very first time.


And sometimes this can be awkward and you can feel embarrassed about talking to someone if you don't know them and they don't know you and you're not friends yet. So I just wanted to talk really briefly about some advice that I have for you to meet people for the first time in any environment. And this is especially true if you are not a native speaker of their language.


So the first tip I have is to simply smile. Make your face look friendly and welcoming and give eye contact to the person that you want to talk to. It sounds really simple and obvious, but if you missed this step um, you know, this is a very important step and this is half the battle. So make sure that you look approachable yourself and you smile And you might even make a slight hand gesture, like, uh, a mini wave of some sort.  And the next thing is to simply say hello.


You don't have to come up with any kind of clever saying or pick up line or joke just simply saying hello. And you can see if the other person is interested in having a conversation with you.


And another tip is that you can be observant of what the person looks like or what clothes they're wearing and use that as a clue um, to tell you about who they are. For example, if the person is wearing very nice running shoes you kind of have the idea that this person likes to run or this person may be a runner or if you notice that the person has, um, cauliflower ears, you know, scarred ears from wrestling OK, this guy is probably a fighter.

SWE17 How to Break the Ice?

みなさん、あけましておめでとうございます。
2023年、みなさんはどんなお正月を迎えましたか？わたしは新年早々ものが壊れて修理してばかりです笑！
＜Transcript>
みなさん、あけましておめでとうございます。
2023年、みなさんは、どんなお正月を迎えましたか？わたしは実家で、日本らしい静かなお正月を迎えました。お正月の料理を食べたり、テレビを見たり、近くの神社へ、今年初めてのお参りに行ったりしました。
また、5年くらい前から、毎年1月2日に、高校のときの友達と集まって、おしゃべりしています。今年も楽しくおしゃべりできました。
天気も晴れて、穏やかなお正月でした。感謝、感謝です。
でも、新年早々ものがよく壊れて、直してばかりです。
まず、お正月に母とホームセンターへ行ったときに、車を擦ってしまいました。去年も、マンションの駐車場の柱にぶつけて、その時の凹みをまだ直していなかったので、2つまとめてお店にお願いしました。
更に更に、テレビとビデオのリモコンが壊れてしまいました。新しいのを買うか、自分で分解して直すか迷いましたが、純正品じゃなく代理品で安く売っていたので、代理品を買うことにしました。慣れていない私が、何時間もかけて分解して直すより、1600円くらいなら代理品を新しく買った方が、ぜったい時間もストレスもかからないと考えたからです。
なんだか、いろいろ修理が多い幕開けですが、順調な1年が過ごせますように。
今年は毎月0のつく日（10日、20日、30日）に、この「にほんごのこばなし」をあげるつもりなので、今年もどうぞよろしくお願いしますね！　最後まで聞いてくれて、ありがとうございました。それでは、また。

#5 新年早々(しんねんそうそう)

Береза
Белая береза
Под моим окном
Принакрылась снегом,
Точно серебром.
На пушистых ветках
Снежною каймой
Распустились кисти
Белой бахромой.
И стоит береза
В сонной тишине,
И горят снежинки
В золотом огне.
А заря, лениво
Обходя кругом,
Обсыпает ветки
Новым серебром.
[1913]

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a powerful tool to conquer the anxiety, frustration, and perfectionism that hinder language learning. Discover Albert Ellis's ABC model to learn how your beliefs about mistakes—not the mistakes themselves—cause suffering. This episode provides a practical framework to dispute irrational "musts," shows how the process of learning a language can be inherently healing, and guides you in using your target language to build a more resilient and rational mindset.
