you prepare for IELTS speaking in the same way you prepare to get a raise or to be promoted. You do a lot of exceptional job with a spirit of enthusiasm and you'll find in time that others never had your thoughts, they never felt as excited as you and they were not that keen on achiving the goal, just had a simple wish. What makes you different? IT'S THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES AND THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH YOU ARE GOING AFTER YOUR DREAMS THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

The missing element that got me to be the best in my career and can do for you

Swedish furniture company IKEA has opened a new store.

There's nothing strange about that. But wait a minute — the new store is inside a video game. And it's paying real people to work there!

IKEA advertised for 10 positions in a virtual store it has opened in Roblox — and got more than 178,000 applications!

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform that lets users play games and create their own.

IKEA has created The Co-Worker Game on the platform. And it needed some employees.

At the start of June, IKEA began looking for people aged 18 and over in the UK and Ireland to work as paid members of staff at the in-game store.

It said staff would help customers, and would be able to get promoted and move departments, just like in real life.

The company said it wanted to show that it does things a little differently.

Wes Davis from technology website The Verge called it a "weird" but "harmless" idea.

He said he'd never heard of other companies paying people to work in a game, but added that US company Walmart has already created a game on Roblox.

IKEA said its employees would be paid a little over $16.50 per hour during their work-from-home shifts, which is about the same as the company's other workers get paid in the UK.

The store opened on June 24. It's not clear how long the workers will be employed for, although the company said the positions would be on a "limited contract."

It also said anyone who didn't get a job could still experience the virtual store and win in-game prizes.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

旅行の話の続きをしますね。

前回のPodcastでは、アメリカ旅行の話していました。
大学を卒業する時に行った旅行ですね。
日本では卒業旅行といいます。

で、今回はアメリカ旅行の続き、ラスベガスへ行った話ですね。ラスベガスに行ったことありますか？僕が行った時は22歳？の時だったので、ギャンブルにも興味がないし、お金も持っていないので、カジノではほとんど遊んでません。

その時は、ユニークな形のホテルがたくさんあったので、それを見て回りました。ホテルの前でいろいろとアトラクションがあったので、それもいくつか見たと思います。

今調べてみましたが、今もいろんなホテルがありますね。
いろんな国がテーマになっているホテルがあります。
たとえば、エジプトがテーマのルクソール、
イタリアがテーマのベネチアン、
ニューヨーク、とか
いろいろありますね。

ホテルの中にジェットコースターがある場所もあります。
本当に他の場所では見られないようなホテルがたくさんありました。

そんなホテルの1つにストラトスフィアというホテルがあります。そこに大きなタワーがあって、1番上にビッグショットというアトラクションがあります。僕たちはそれに乗りました！2回！乗りました。

これはぜひYouTubeで検索して見てほしいんですけど、めっちゃおもしろかったです。

ラスベガスの夜景を見ながら、この高い場所で激しく上下に動くアトラクション、ビッグショットに乗りました。これはめずらしく、見た景色を覚えています。それぐらい特別な体験だったんだろうなと思います。

今日はラスベガスの話で終わります。
また続きは次のPodcastで話しますね。

みなさんにとって特別な体験の旅行はありますか？
ぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
