Привет! Это мой подкаст «По-русски легко»! Мои студенты иногда спрашивают меня: почему в России так много праздничных нерабочих дней? Я уже рассказывала про длинные новогодние каникулы в январе. А сегодня я расскажу вам, почему в России люди много отдыхают в мае.
Прежде всего, как мы узнаём, когда и сколько нерабочих дней будет в следующем году? Каждый год Правительство Российской Федерации утверждает производственный календарь на следующий год. Потом газеты и интернет-ресурсы публикуют актуальный календарь. Люди знают когда и сколько у них будет нерабочих праздничных дней.
В мае в России празднуют два важных праздника. 1 мая — Праздник Весны и Труда, 9 мая — День Победы.
В 2025 году 1 мая – это четверг. Поэтому россияне отдыхали с 1 мая по 4 мая – четверг, пятница, суббота, воскресенье
9 мая — День Победы – очень важный праздник в России. Люди буду отдыхать 8, 9, 10, 11 мая. Это значит, мы не будем работать с четверга по воскресенье. Итак, это будет короткая рабочая неделя, всего 3 рабочих дня – понедельник, вторник, среда.
В этот праздничный период будет много официальных мероприятий. По всей стране пройдут концерты, парады, выставки и фестивали. Это очень интересно. Если вы будете в России, я рекомендую вам посмотреть. 
Многие люди берут дополнительные дни отпуска и уезжают отдыхать в отпуск на неделю. А ещё в майские праздники люди ездят на дачу, на пикник или просто гуляют в парках. 

По-русски легко!

I was watching the podcast of Vivian Tu, when I noticed some remarks on the comment section are saying that she is very masculine. I believe that many women in business had to toughen up a bit and become more like men so that they can succeed. For somehow, who  is also trying her luck in business, I felt like my character is becoming more of a man and I am losing my feminine side because I can't even cry anymore.

WHY WOMEN IN BUSINESS ,SOCIAL MEDIA AND TOUGH INDUSTRIES BECOME MASCULINE?

Welcome English learners! Today we’re continuing the conversation between Jennifer and James. In the last episode, James had just met Jennifer while he was walking in the park. Her dog had fetched a ball and had come close to him. Jennifer was in the middle of telling him why she started dog sitting for her friend. Listen to the story in this episode to grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!
“I was having coffee with my friend, Sarah, and we were talking about how difficult it is to live up to the standards of being a “modern woman.” Jennifer started her story.
“Oh, that sounds like an interesting conversation…” James responded. “I’ve always felt like it must be almost impossible for women to balance career and family. Especially single women.”
“Well, yeah, that’s what we were saying to each other. There’s a lot of pressure on women to be “independent,” as if they don’t need men in their lives. I think marriage and family are great and I hate the stigma that is sometimes given to housewives in our society.”
“That’s an interesting perspective to hear from a woman.” James replied. “You wouldn’t know that based on what you see in the media.”
“Exactly. Anyways, Sarah is married, so she and her husband are taking a trip this weekend. She works as an accountant, so she stays busy, but she wants to have kids, too. That’s why we were talking about “modern women.” Anyhow, I offered to watch their dog for the weekend, so here I am!” Jennifer explained.
“I see. That’s nice of you to do for her!” James appreciated this small act Jennifer was doing for her friend. He wanted to learn more about her, but she had a question for him.
“So, what brings you out to the park on a Saturday morning?” Jennifer inquired.
“I like to go for a walk when I’m thinking about something.” James told her.
“Ah, ok. So, can I ask what’s on your mind?” Sarah asked with an inquisitive look on her face. 
James was more than happy to tell her.
