今日は暖かくて天気が良かったので、梅の花を見に行ってきました。
ここ長野では、まだ桜は咲いていなくて、今は梅の花が満開なんです。

梅の花は桜と似ていてピンク色の花を咲かせますが、でも桜よりちょっと小さくて、丸くて、おとなしい感じがします。

風が吹くと、梅の花のなんだか清々しくて少し甘い、とてもいい香りがしました。
ミツバチたちがブンブンと元気いっぱいに花の周りを飛ぶ音も聞こえました。

体中で春をいっぱいに感じて、とても気持ちが良かったです。

 
梅の花は寒い冬の間、ずっと我慢してがんばってきたからこそ、春になって、やっときれいな花を咲かせていい香りを出すことができると昔から言われています。

つまり、難しいことがあっても、がんばり続ければ必ずいい結果になる、ということですね！

日本では多くの会社や学校で、4月から新しい一年が始まります。
私たちもすてきな花を咲かせられるように、がんばりましょうね！

As time goes by more and more characters are created. How many Chinese characters do we have? And how many characters should a foreign learner master that can manage daily conversations ? Am I suppose to learn all Chinese characters? Don't be worry, this audio will give you an answer.

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.

How to overcome shyness with a coach - Episode 76

In today's episode, a Ukrainian student, Kateryna, talks about the day that she met the war, and how her life in Kiev has changed in recent months. This is not a political podcast; it is the heart-wrenching story from the mouth of one student who has been affected by the conflict. In the podcast, Kateryna talks about how she was over 1,000km from her children when the fighting started, and her journey to find safety as war raged around her. She also speaks about the little creature comforts she misses from home, and how her love for her husband has grown even stronger since the outbreak of the war. Most importantly, she talks about her hopes for the future, once the fighting has stopped. Listen now to Kateryna's moving story.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は19℃。

北海道は日本の中で1番上にあります。
ですので、寒くなるのは日本のどこよりも早い場所です。
今10月中旬ですが、この時期、ちょうど紅葉シーズンをむかえています。

海外から旅行で来られる方も増えていると思いますので、今日は北海道の紅葉スポットについて話そうと思います！私もまだ行ったことがないところですが、近々行きたいと考えています。

① 円山公園
札幌駅から4キロほどの場所にある、旅行客でも簡単に行ける場所です。札幌駅から歩いても行けます。たぶん1時間ぐらい。ここは、結構大きな公園です。
札幌神社、運動場、動物園などもあります。
でも1番は原始林とつながっているこの公園にはたくさんの自然があります。
この公園の紅葉はとても綺麗なようです。
11月のはじめぐらいまでが紅葉の見ごろかもしれませんね。

② 北海道大学
次は北海道大学です。こちらは、札幌駅から歩いて10分ほどです。こちらはイチョウ並木が有名です。まっすぐの道に、70本ほどのイチョウが植えられています。
天気が良ければとても気持ちいいかもしれませんね。


はい、ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
今日は北海道の札幌駅から手軽に行ける、紅葉のオススメスポット2ヶ所をお伝えしました。

もし、ちょうどこの時期、2022/10月中旬から11月初旬ぐらいに北海道、札幌に来られる方がいたら、ぜひ、時間を作って行ってみてください！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！
