🍽️ Diálogo: Probando un plato extraño 🌶️🐙

Carlos: Bueno, aquí estamos… listos para probar algo nuevo.

Ana: Sí, pero… ¿estás seguro de que esto es comestible? Se ve un poco extraño.

Carlos: ¡Claro! Es un plato típico de este país. Se llama takoyaki, son bolitas de pulpo con salsa.

Ana: Hmm… nunca he comido pulpo antes.

Carlos: Pues hoy es el día. ¡Vamos, pruébalo!

Ana: (Da un mordisco) ¡Uy! Está más suave de lo que pensaba.

Carlos: Sí, la textura es algo chiclosa, pero el sabor es bueno.

Ana: Me gusta la salsa… es un poco dulce y salada al mismo tiempo.

Carlos: Y esas hojuelas encima se están moviendo. ¡Parece que tienen vida!

Ana: ¡No digas eso! Son hojuelas de bonito, pero sí, parece que bailan por el calor.

Carlos: ¿Qué te parece el pulpo en sí?

Ana: Sorprendentemente, sabe bien. Es tierno y tiene un ligero sabor a mar.

Carlos: Sí, pero lo mejor es la combinación con la masa crujiente por fuera.

Ana: Definitivamente. Aunque creo que está un poco picante, ¿o soy yo?

Carlos: No, tienes razón. La salsa tiene un toque de jengibre y pimienta.

Ana: Me gusta más de lo que esperaba. No pensé que comería pulpo algún día.

Carlos: ¡Ya ves! Probar cosas nuevas siempre es una buena idea.

Ana: Ahora me pregunto… ¿qué otro plato raro podemos probar?

Carlos: He oído que aquí tienen helado de ajo… ¿te animas?

Ana: ¡Eso sí suena demasiado raro! Pero… ¿por qué no?

ARE YOU A TEAM PLAYER? - You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY TOWARDS WORK? - The interviewer is not looking for a long or complicated answer here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organisation.

한국의 문화

🎃 할로윈 데이 (About Halloween)

"Seek the company of those who know the heart's secrets, rest beneath the tree that bears the ripest fruit. In the market of life, choose not the idle wanderer's path but the shop filled with sweetness. Not every bubbling pot holds a feast, not every pen writes truths, not every gaze sees beyond the surface, not every ocean bed holds pearls."
