Confusing words  (A2 - Elementary)

Confusing words - fun , funny

Асханада жұмыс істеймін. Бүгін таңертең бір азамат келді. Кассадағы кезегі жеткен соң «Менің артымда тұрған қыздың кофесін мен төлеп кетейін. Менен оған «Қайырлы күн!» тілей салыңызшы» деді. Ол кеткен соң қыз оның қылығына таң қалды. Көп ойланбастан өзінен кейін тұрған адамға ол да солай жақсылық жасағысы келді. Осылай бес адам бірінен соң бірінің кофесін төледі! Жақсы күн тілеймін! Жақсылықты көп жасайық!

I work in the canteen. A man came here this morning. As soon as it was his turn at the checkout, he said, "I'll pay for the coffee of the girl behind me. He asked me just say, " good afternoon!" to the woman. When he left, the girl was surprised by his behavior. Without thinking much, she wanted to do the same thing to the person standing after her. So five people paid for coffee one by one for each other! Have a good day! Let's do good things more!

Whether you live to work or you work to live, having a healthy work-life balance is good for both you and your employer.

Here are just a few ways to keep your balance healthy!

Plan
It can help to plan your time, making sure to include social activities in those plans, says Allaya Cooks-Campbell from job coaching website BetterUp.

Even scheduling a night in front of the TV is enough — it will give you a bit of time to switch off.

If you're able to, you could also plan to take short breaks during the day, and perhaps even use them to take a walk or read a few pages of a book.

Use apps to help
Cooks-Campbell also suggests using an app to block distracting websites during the work day — which might include things like social media.

You can then do the same in the evening and block work apps, if you find it difficult to stop checking them.

Be kind to yourself
It's important to be realistic about your work-life balance, and not to get too stressed if you don't follow your plan. That's according to Kate Eby from work management company Smartsheet.

Being kind to yourself, she says, can help you improve your mental health.

Talk to your boss
If you're finding it difficult to get your work-life balance right, speaking to your manager may be a good idea — although not everyone will feel comfortable doing this.

It may be that you have been given too much work to do, or there is a better way to do it — and talking to your boss could help you work smarter, not harder.

However, Cooks-Campbell says different things work for different people — so you have to find what's right for you!

Plan, Be Kind: Tips for a Healthy Work-Life Balance

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は雨。昼まではくもっていましたが、今は雨がふっています。気温は19℃なので、少し寒いですね。


さて、今日は、わかれのあいさつについて。
どの国でも、出会った時と、別れる時には必ずあいさつをしますね。

ともだちと別れる時や、職場から帰る時など、どういうか知っていますか？どう言っていますか？
その話をしましょう！

一般的には、
・失礼(しつれい)します。
・おつかれさまです。/おつかれさまでした。
・おつかれさまです、失礼します。
が1番良く使います。

ともだちと別れる時や、夜ご飯を食べた帰りなどでは、
・じゃあ、またね
・おやすみ/おやすみなさい
・では！
・じゃ！
・また！
と言うことがおおいです。

関西弁(かんさいべん)だと、
・ほな！
・ほんなら！
と言う人がおおいかもしれません。
これは、それでは、が転じてほんなら→ほなら→ほな、となっているようです。

ともだちと別れる時には、また！で終わることが多いですが、また！会おうね、の意味が含まれていますね。日本人はすべてを伝える文化ではないので、また！(会おうね)で終わっているような気がします。直接的に伝えるのは恥ずかしいのかもしれません。

個人的には、オンラインレッスンをしている時、話しているみなさんは、感謝の言葉や、ほめることをすべて伝えてくれます。それはとてもうれしいことです。

日本人どうしも、もう少し恥ずかしがらずに、感謝の気持ちや、相手の良いところを伝えるようになった方がいいと思います。

ということで、今回は、別れの挨拶(わかれのあいさつ)について、話しました。
いつもこのポッドキャストを聞いていただいて、本当にありがとうございます！
それではまた！
