Today we're talking about a professional piece of vocabulary that we can use to talk about ourselves in a critical way, especially in the form of a jokes. This is "self-deprecating". Take a listen to today's episode of the podcast for a full explanation and I hope you find it useful!

第六颗行星则要大十倍。
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one.
上面住着一位老先生，他在写作大部头的书。
It was inhabited by an old gentleman who wrote voluminous books.
“瞧！来了一位探险家。”老先生看到小王子时，叫了起来。
"Oh, look! Here is an explorer!" he exclaimed to himself when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子在桌旁坐下，有点气喘吁吁。
The little prince sat down on the table and panted a little.
他跑了多少路啊！
He had already traveled so much and so far!
“你从哪里来的呀？”老先生问小王子。
"Where do you come from?" the old gentleman said to him.
“这一大本是什么书？你在这里干什么？”小王子问道。
"What is that big book?" said the little prince. "What are you doing?"
“我是地理学家。”老先生答道。
"I am a geographer," the old gentleman said to him.
“什么是地理学家？”小王子问。
"What is a geographer?" asked the little prince.
地理学家，就是一种学者，他知道哪里有海洋，哪里有江河、城市、山脉、沙漠。
A geographer is a scholar who knows the location of all the seas, rivers,towns, mountains, and deserts.
“这倒挺有意思。”小王子说。“这才是一种真正的行当。”
"That is very interesting," said the little prince. "Here at last is a man who has a real profession!"
他朝四周围看了看这位地理学家的星球。
And he cast a look around him at the planet of the geographer.
他还从来没有见过一颗如此壮观的行星。
It was the most magnificent and stately planet that he had ever seen.
“您的星球真美呀。上面有海洋吗？”他说。
"Your planet is very beautiful," he said. "Has it any oceans?"
“这我没法知道。”地理学家说。

"I couldn't tell you," said the geographer.
“啊！”小王子大失所望。“那么，山脉呢？”
"Ah!" The little prince was disappointed. "Has it any mountains?"
“这，我没法知道。”地理学家说。
"I couldn't tell you," said the geographer.
“那么，有城市、河流、沙漠吗？”
"And towns, and rivers, and deserts?"
这，我也没法知道。
I couldn't tell you that, either.
可您还是地理学家呢！
But you are a geographer!
“一点不错，”地理学家说，
"Exactly," the geographer said.
但是我不是探察家。我手下一个探察家都没有。
But I am not an explorer. I haven't a single explorer on my planet.
地理学家是不去计算城市、河流、山脉、海洋、沙漠的。
It is not the geographer who goes out to count the towns, the rivers, the mountains, the seas, the oceans, and the deserts.
地理学家很重要，不能到处跑。
The geographer is much too important to go loafing about.
他不能离开他的办公室。
He does not leave his desk
但他可以在办公室里接见探察家

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UN PERRO QUE SE LLAMA CURRO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes mascotas en tu casa?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


A mi perro Curro le gusta pasear por el parque a primera hora de la mañana.

Me levanto a las seis de la mañana en los días laborables para acompañarle al parque antes de ir a trabajar. Siempre me espera sentado en la puerta de mi habitación con gran impaciencia, aguardando a que me levante.

Cuando llegamos al parque acostumbro a quitarle la correa para que pueda correr libremente, ya que a esas horas no hay nadie a quien pueda molestar. Él se pone muy contento y durante un rato se dedica a explorar el parque con gran curiosidad.

Transcurrido un cuarto de hora regresa al banco donde yo lo aguardo sentado y entonces jugamos un rato con la pelota, yo se la lanzo y él me la devuelve. Después regresamos a casa y yo marcho a trabajar y él se queda feliz tumbado en su colchón.

Why people are afraid of taking interviews?

Here is a quote I found from a person - sharing their feelings about taking an interview...

I'm afraid of interviews and getting a job and having to interact with coworkers
I'm an adult but I feel like a baby. I don't have any social skills or any skills. Having to go to interviews and interact with coworkers sounds like a nightmare. I can't do this adult thing. I can't function in this --- world. I don't know what to do. I can't get help because it's too scary to speak about my problems with a stranger. I feel like I wasn't meant to be in this world. 

and this is a native speaker... certainly, the person might be starting out but my point was to illustrate to you that you are not alone...

In this podcast I share ways how you can overcome it - strategical approach you can follow to help you ace your interview.

And I offer 1-1 private coachinng/consulting classes, come and see me.

To Your Success,
Anatoly
