Hey Guys,  this is Chinese teacher Cara, welcome to my Channel,  you’re listening a B1 lesson.
今天为大家朗读的是一篇短文，题目是：美国人如果应对旅游旺季？
美国有很多出行旺季 peak season。最高峰的季节在十一月底，也就是感恩节期间。十二月底到一月初也有很多人出行。当然了，夏季从六月到八月的学校暑假也是旅行季节。

那么美国人怎么出行呢？短途旅行的话，开车是最常见的选择。如果开车得八小时以上，搭乘飞机则是最常见的方式，边开边玩的公路旅行 road trip 也很受欢迎。

有趣的是，在美国，火车票通常比机票更贵，虽然坐火车比飞机慢得多。比如说，从旧金山到纽约，搭乘飞机只需要不足到六小时，如果选择坐火车或坐汽车，同样的旅程需要超过三天，而且费用比飞机票更贵。

你喜欢旅行吗？你今年计划去哪里旅行呢？Please let me know in a comment or we can talk about it in the class, Thanks for listening.我们下次节目再见。

Can I Say Can I Do

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘 팟캐스트에서는 한국어에서 자주 쓰이지만 학습자들에겐 생소할 수 있는 표현
[ -가지고]에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요. 
우리가 흔히 아는 [그래서, -기 때문에, 왜냐하면] 등의 여러 표현 외에도, 일상 대화에서 [-가지고]라는 표현을 굉장히 많이 사용해요.
영어로는 ‘because’ 나 ‘since’의 의미로 이해하면 돼요.

우선, [-가지고]는 약간 구어체적인 느낌을 주는데요, 특히 친구들끼리 편하게 대화할 때 자주 쓰여요. 
예를 들어, “아, 늦잠 자가지고 수업에 늦었어”라고 하면 “늦잠 자서 수업에 늦었어”와 비슷한 의미지만, 좀 더 캐주얼하게 들리죠.

예문으로 볼까요?
"배가 너무 고파가지고 편의점에서 뭐 좀 샀어."

여기서 -가지고는 "너무 배고파서"의 뜻이에요. 이렇게 가볍게 이유를 덧붙이는 느낌이죠.

"버스를 놓쳐가지고 학교에 걸어갔어."

“버스를 놓쳐서”라고 할 수도 있지만, [-가지고]를 쓰면 좀 더 말하는 사람의 불만스러운 느낌이 잘 살아요.

마찬가지로,
"길이 막혀가지고 늦었어."

길이 막혀서 늦었어 대신, 더 원어민스러운 느낌이 들죠.

여러분도 평소 대화에서 [-아서] 나 [-기 때문에] 대신 [-가지고]를 한번 써보세요!
한국인 친구들이 여러분의 한국어 실력에 깜짝 놀랄지도 몰라요!

넌 결혼을 언제 할 생각이야?
你打算什么时候结婚? 

아직 결정 안 했어. 좋은 인연이 나타나면 하고, 아니면 혼자 사는 거지.
还没有决定。要是缘分到了就结婚, 否则我就自己过。
 
난 결혼 할 생각이 없어. 한 사람과 평생 생활해야 하는 건 나랑 맞지 않아.
我不想结婚。跟一个人生活一辈子不太适合我。

넌 정말 독신주의자구나.
你果真是单身主义者呀。

인연 缘分
그렇지 않으면, 아니면 否则
평생, 한 평생 一辈子
독신주의자 单身主义者

〈#49〉4月29日金曜日　道の駅に子どものための施設

Many leaders struggle to strike the balance between friendliness and firmness. One client, let's call her Sarah, excelled in collaboration but found her team didn't take her directives seriously. Her challenge? Assertive communication.

Over 12 weeks, we embarked on a journey to transform Sarah's communication style. Our bi-weekly coaching sessions (Mondays for planning, Fridays for review) provided structure and accountability. Here's how we achieved results:

Unveiling the Power of "I" Statements:  Instead of accusatory "you" statements ("You always miss deadlines!"), we practiced "I" statements ("I feel frustrated when deadlines are missed"). This shifted the focus to the impact on Sarah and the team, fostering collaboration.

Body Language Bootcamp:  Nonverbal cues speak volumes. We practiced confident posture, strong eye contact, and clear gestures. Standing tall while giving instructions and mirroring team members' positive body language fostered a sense of mutual respect.

The Art of the Pause:  Sarah often rushed through instructions, leaving room for confusion. We mastered the power of the pause. Strategic pauses after key points allowed information to sink in and empowered team members to ask clarifying questions.

Innovation in Role-Playing:  Traditional role-playing can feel awkward. We gamified the process, creating scenarios based on Sarah's real-life situations. This playful approach allowed Sarah to experiment with assertive language in a safe space, boosting her confidence.

Celebrating Small Wins:  Progress wasn't always linear. We celebrated even minor victories, like delivering a firm but respectful instruction. Acknowledging her achievements fueled Sarah's motivation and helped her stay on track.

The Result? Measurable Change: Within three months, Sarah's communication transformed. Team meetings became more focused, deadlines were met consistently, and her leadership presence flourished.
