第十一课 lesson 11

This morning, we watched a news which was the company's entrance ceremony this year.  They were held face to face for the first time in four years on April 3rd. Monday.   I was able to watch a lot of smiles of the new guys and girls. 
Today I'm going to talk about three company's entrance ceremony that were impactful to me.
****************************************************
4月4日火曜日　今朝のニュースは、4月3日月曜日に行われたさまざまな会社の入社式の模様が報道されました。
対面での入社式が行われたのが、実に4年ぶりだったことに、私は改めて驚きました。
日本航空　JALは、コロナの影響で3年間客室乗務員の採用がなかったそうです。そのため、その間ＪＡＬへの就職を希望していた学生たちは、他の会社に就職して　採用再開を待っていたと言っていました。　ＪＡＬの入社式は羽田空港の飛行機の格納庫で行われていました。　広いスペースが、去年の6倍の2000人の新入社員で埋め尽くされていました。　そして何より印象的だったのが、それぞれの「抱負」を書いた紙飛行機を飛ばしたときの彼らの笑顔です。本当に晴れやかな笑顔で、テレビのこちらで見ている私まで嬉しくなりました。
それから、東京都を走る小田急電鉄の入社式も印象的でした。　今年の秋で引退する特急ロマンスカー「ＶＳＥ」の車内で　入社式が行われていました。　式典のあと、列車に乗車したまま新宿駅に移動すると、駅のホームでは歓迎のメッセージを持った先輩社員たちが出迎えてくれていました。　鉄道会社らしい素敵な入社式ですよね。
もう一社、印象に残ったのは、ユニリーバ・ジャパン・カスタマーマーケティングの入社式です。こちらも4年ぶりに本社開催だったそうですが、髪型、服装は自由、マスク着用も自由。「自分らしさを表した髪型、髪色」「服装も入社式にこだわらなくていい」とのこと。
入社式といえば、黒や紺のスーツに白色のカッターシャツかブラウスというのがお決まりのスタイル。　自由に自分で決めるということは、案外難しいことだと思いますが、ユニリーバの新入社員さんたちは、会社からのそのリクエストを楽しんでいるように見えました。　
コロナ渦で閉じ込められてきた若いエネルギーが解き放たれた瞬間を　入社式のニュースで見ることができました。　入社、おめでとう！

Hola, Hola, Camila desde Buenos Aires con un podcast para los viajeros y las viajeras!

Quiero hablar del reto de COMER LEJOS DE CASA.
Se que muchos de ustedes deben pensar "¿el reto?" "me encanta probar comida de otros países". Y si, entiendo eso, y a mi también me gusta. Pero ahora quiero que imaginen que por tres o cuatro meses no pueden comer comida de casa... nada, no hay en el lugar donde están, no encuentran, y lo poco que encuentran masomenos similar, no es realmente igual, ¿cómo se sentirían?

Analicemos un poco lo que representa la "comida de casa".

Te invito a explorar este podcast conmigo, y a ENTRENAR TU ESPAÑOL JUNTOS!

Testo

Aisha è nata ad Assilah, in Marocco e vive a Torino nel quartiere di San Paolo. Ogni giorno per andare a lavoro in via Nizza prende la metropolitana. Aisha vive in un appartamento con il fidanzato Matteo, che è originario di Catanzaro, il loro bambino Pierpaolo, il gatto Galileo e il cane Michelangelo. Matteo lavora come programmatore per una famosa ditta di computer americana. Aisha lavora come insegnante di matematica nella scuola superiore. Siccome oggi è sabato, Aisha non lavora e insieme a Matteo e al loro figlio, fanno un giro al mercato di Porta Palazzo e al mercato delle pulci chiamato Balon. Poiché Aisha ha già fatto la spesa, allora a Porta Palazzo non compra niente. Al Balon ogni volta che va, c’è davvero molta gente che arriva per trovare delle occasioni  e in effetti oggi ci sono davvero tanti oggetti incredibili e vintage. Oggi Matteo ha comprato un vecchio telefono e anche una macchina fotografica antica degli anni sessanta. Dopo il loro giro al mercato Aisha e Matteo si fermano a mangiare del pesce fritto in un posto a Porta Palazzo e poi vanno al cinema Massimo a vedere un film. A loro gli piace molto il cinema e hanno deciso che il prossimo anno vogliono andare a vedere la mostra del cinema di Venezia. Ma quest’anno non possono ancora andare perché Aisha deve lavorare molto. Ad Aisha nel tempo libero piace leggere dei libri gialli mentre Matteo preferisce ascoltare musica blues. Matteo capisce il francese ma non lo parla. Aisha invece parla l'arabo el’amazigh, il francese e l’italiano. Tutti e due parlano anche inglese.

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
最近在中国年轻人中间刮起了一阵新热潮，那就是去寺庙烧香，求神拜佛。我们一起来听听看是为什么吧？
游客：“马上要毕业了嘛，然后就是希望自己能够顺顺利利的，未来都是一路平坦的。嗯，就是这么一个比较平凡的愿望。”
记者：“上班和上学之间你会选择哪个？我身边的这些年轻人，他们选择的是来上香。今天是周二工作日，北京还下着雨，并且降温了10度。我的右边很多人在排队点香，我的左边很多人正在上香。寺庙游现在是中国平台搜索最火爆的。不但是北京的雍和宫、灵隐寺、九华山，吸引了好多好多的年轻人。很多人真是来寺庙上香比上学还认真。他们为什么沉迷于寺庙呢？那我们就来听听年轻人的答案。”
游客：“就是大家可能最近压力都比较大，然后就是有一些东西，可能觉得自己虽然已经很努力了，但是也希望借助一些神佛的力量。对，就是所以（来寺庙的年轻人）还蛮多的。像平时可能会心里面比较焦躁一些，那来到这块可能还是会感觉比较平静。因为这块所有人都是抱着一个比较虔诚的心来的嘛，所以能感觉到这里的人都是非常虔诚的。
