Intermediate Chinese Listening：4月22日 世界地球日 Earth Day 

In this podcast we'll look into some answers to 3 common questions:

1. How to answer: ‘Tell me a bit about yourself.’

2. How to answer: ‘What are your weaknesses?’

3. How to answer: ‘Describe a time you faced a challenge and what steps you took to overcome it.’

Before you'll go further - how would you do it yourself? What will your thinking be while answering?

Question One: The interviewer typically isn’t asking you about your weekend here. Take this opportunity to capture and distill the most important things they need to know about you as an employee—your most impactful job, the skills you’d most like to highlight, as well as some of the previous projects you feel showcase your abilities are all great options.

Question Two: Avoid responding with something that’s not genuine and communicates inauthenticity—saying something like ‘I work too hard!’ doesn’t come across well. Everyone has weaknesses—it’s how we manage them that’s important and expressing what you’ve already got underway to alter it is the key.

QUestion Three: This demands self-reflection and self-examination, focusing on problem solving skills and your attitude to challenges, conflict resolution and how you cope under pressure. Work through the S.T.A.R method if you get a little stuck: first, contextualise the situation for your interviewee by presenting the challenge in a professional manner and explain how it arose in the first place, then explain a little about where you fell in the group in relation to the task at hand.

Use some ideas aboe and also prepare your answers as well. At the end of the day - they are 'buying' your personality, not so much how you answer those questions so don't be shy being yourself, it countrs massively!

El Huapango de Moncayo es un poema sinfónico mágico, con ese toque de mexicanidad, que al escucharlo te alegra y te levanta el espíritu.

Es la obra sinfónica mexicana más famosa en el mundo y la más popular en México. Tuvo gran aceptación desde que la Orquesta Sinfónica de México, bajo la batuta de Carlos Chávez, la estrenó en el Palacio Bellas Artes el 15 de agosto de 1941.

No es que el Huapango de Moncayo sea mejor que otras obras musicales, como la Sinfonía India, la más popular de Chávez o las nacionalistas Sensemayá y La Noche de los Mayas, de Silvestre Revueltas.

Pero el Huapango de Moncayo, seas melómano o alguien que no es asiduo a salas de concierto, “te atrapa, más como mexicano”. Es una obra “alegre, que te levanta el espíritu”, dice el pianista y compositor Samuel Pascoe.

Quizá por eso es considerada como el segundo himno nacional de México, distinción que se disputa con la Marcha de Zacatecas.

Gran pianista, percusionista, maestro de música, compositor y director de orquesta, José Pablo Moncayo García nació en Guadalajara el 29 de junio de 1912 y murió en la CDMX el 16 de junio de 1958.

En el Conservatorio Nacional de Música, Carlos Chávez fue maestro de composición de Moncayo, quien sería percusionista y pianista de la Orquesta Sinfónica de México.

En las postrimerías del nacionalismo de esos años y a sabiendas del talento de Moncayo, Chávez le encargó que fuera al puerto de Alvarado, Veracruz, para que conociera a detalle el huapango tradicional y creara una obra sinfónica.

Huapango se estrenó cuando Moncayo tenía 29 años.

Después fue becado por el Institute Berkshire de Serge Koussevitzki y asistió a cursos impartidos por Aaron Copland en Tanglewood, Massachusetts, EU, en 1942. Ahí tuvo como como condiscípulos a Leonard Bernstein y a Blas Galindo.
