最近、ドイツのスーパーでは小麦粉や油、パスタが売り切れになっています。油については揚げ物に使うひまわり油は売り切れていますが、オリーブオイルはあります。小麦粉や油を置いている棚には「1人２個まで」と書いた紙が貼ってあります。
この状況がなぜ起こっているのか、私には詳しい理由がわかりません。戦争のせいでウクライナやロシアから商品が来ていないからかもしれないし、緊急の場合に備えて買いだめをしている人が多いからかもしれません。
２年前にパンデミックが始まった時にも小麦粉とトイレットペーパーが売り切れになりました。
幸い、私の家には去年イタリアでもらったオリーブオイルとパスタがたくさんあるので困っていません。
みなさんの国ではどうですか？

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DREAM JOB - Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are trying to get, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and can't wait to get to work. / WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD YOU REFUSE TO WORK WITH? - Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organisation, violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will label you as a whiner. / TELL ME ABOUT A PROBLEM YOU HAD WITH A
SUPERVISOR, TEAM LEADER, MANAGER, OR BOSS - The biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any
trouble you might have had.

In this episode we are going to learn how to【introduce my day】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

我的一天 My day（for beginner）

Un escritor terriblemente vanidoso, que no podía soportar que nadie criticara sus obras, estaba un día en el café y entró un amigo diciendole:
Acabo de Hablar con uno que anda diciendo horrores de tus escritos.
-¡Esto es una ofensa! ¡Dime quien es! ¡Prónto!
-Es alguien a quien no conoces.
-Está bien: voy a salir a la calle, y al primero que no conozca: ¡le rompo la cara!
