В первом выпуске, вы узнаете, что такое сказка, и почему нам так интересно их читать, а ещё познакомитесь с основными типами сказок. Это хороший старт, чтобы начать изучать русскую литературу и культуру. 
Здесь будут трудные слова с переводом: Древнерусский язык = Old Russian; Устная форма = Oral; Добавлять = To add; Cмелый и честный = Courageous and honest; Добро побеждает зло = Good conquers evil; Враг = Enemy; Волшебник, волшебство = Wizard, magic

In today's podcast we take a look at the vocabulary you need to talk about clothing and fashion. In particular, you learn what it means to 'dress up to the nines', and the difference between 'it doesn't fit me' and 'it doesn't suit me'. We also learn about some of the most common mistakes students make when they discuss this topic (never say 'I bought many clothes recently'). And finally, we take a look at some of the most common IELTS questions about clothes. So whatever your needs, listen now, and feel more confident whenever you talk about what you wear, going shopping, and looking fashionable.
Please feel free to write me a message about this topic, or tell me about what topic you'd like on my next podcast. Better still, book a lesson now, and let's start talking all about clothes and fashion.

The one about clothes and fashion

I'm going to talk about an article of newspaper, which is about one Japanese company that have been making it for 50 years! It... it is a narrow house with a red roof. It's usually put around kitchen for them!  
***********************************************
先日、新聞を読んでいたら、こんな記事がありました。

アース製薬の「ごきぶりホイホイ」が、今春、発売５０年を迎えた。

５０年間、ずっと　ゴキちゃんを何とかしたい日本中の人たちが　使っていたということか～と感心していると、

記事と一緒に掲載されている１枚の写真に目が行きました。　その写真では、女性従業員が　右手にサウジアラビア向けHOYHOYを、左手にアメリカ向けHOYHOYを持って、にこやかに笑っています。

へえ～！！！

ごきぶりホイホイって日本だけじゃなくて、世界でつかわれていたんだ！

ホンダ、トヨタの車が世界で販売されているのは知っていたけど、こんなものまで…という驚きでいっぱいでした。

ところで、５０年というと、私より少し歴史が若いということになります。
それで、思い出したのですが、そういえば、私が子どものころは、ホイホイなかったな・・・
確か、ゴキブリやハエとかが出てきたら、ハエたたきを持って、パシッと一撃！　ハエたたきというのは、プラスティックでできた　長さが５０㎝ほどの棒の先に　約１０センチ四方ぐらいの板状のものがついているものです。それで、ゴキブリやハエを追いかけて、狙いを定めて、叩くのです。とても原始的なやり方で　家の中の害虫を　やっつけていました。

ときに大きめのゴキちゃんが、黒く光った羽をひろげて、パア～と飛んだりすると、もう絶叫です。「うきゃ～～！！！」って叫びながら、ハエたたきを握りしめて　逃げたものです。

それがあるときから、紙でできた赤い屋根の細長い家のおかげで、ずいぶんゴキちゃん事情が変わったと思います。ハエたたきで追いかけることも、ほとんどなくなったと思います。

今は、さらに進化したゴキちゃん用商品が出ているので、ほとんどゴキちゃんに会うことはなくなりました。でも、「１匹見たら、１００匹はいる」ということらしいので、たぶんどこかにたくさん潜んでいるのだと思います。

おーい、ゴキちゃん、勝手に人ん家に住まないで！家の人より大勢で住むなら　家賃払ってよね！


やさしい日本語（にほんご）

来ないで！　Don’t come!

The boardroom shimmered with anticipation. It was our moment – the chance to present our green energy solution to a potential billion-dollar partner.  Months of research and development hung in the balance.  As CEO, I knew the presentation had to be flawless.

Flashback six weeks.  We'd made the initial contact with them, but our initial proposal was met with a lukewarm response.  Their feedback – "unclear goals" and "lack of data-driven evidence."  It was a harsh lesson.  We'd underestimated the importance of clear communication.

This time, we went all in on preparation.  We drilled down on their specific needs, tailoring our presentation to address their environmental goals and cost-saving projections.  Data became our mantra.  Charts, graphs, and case studies were meticulously crafted to showcase the impact of our technology.

Anticipating questions was paramount.  Our team planned every scenario, rehearsing responses until they were clear, concise, and confident.  Even the presentation slides – clean, visually appealing, and focused on the message – became a communication tool.

Fast forward to the meeting.  My opening statement resonated.  It wasn't just about our technology; it was about a shared vision for a sustainable future.  The data painted a compelling picture, each statistic linked back to the investor's needs.  When questions arose, our team delivered prepared, impactful responses.

The atmosphere shifted.  Their executives leaned forward, engaged.  The follow-up discussions were lively, brimming with possibilities.  We left that day with a handshake and a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks later, they signed the partnership agreement.  Looking back, it wasn't just our technology that won them over.  It was the preparation, the clear communication, and the confidence we exuded. In business, effective communication is the bridge between good ideas and successful partnerships.  And that bridge is built on preparation.
