大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【相亲】的话题。
在中国，相亲是一种很常见的找结婚对象的方式。相亲也分为很多种，亲戚介绍，朋友介绍，或者同事介绍。还有一些新的方式，例如在网上的婚恋平台找对象，甚至是参加相亲的电视节目。
有些公园还出现了一个特别的地方“相亲角”。在那里，你可以看到墙上贴着很多纸，上面写着单身男女的个人信息。年龄、身高、学历、工作、收入、对另一半的要求。去那里的基本上是这些单身男女的父母，他们非常希望自己的孩子能早一点找到对象，结婚。
很多人大学毕业以后，家里就开始安排相亲了。我在刚毕业的时候也参加过一次相亲。那个男生是我叔叔的朋友的儿子，因为我们在同一个城市工作，还是老乡，他们觉得很合适。我们加了微信开始聊天，然后一起去吃了几次饭。后面没有成功，因为他希望找一个人早一点结婚，而我还没有准备好要结婚。我觉得这是中国式相亲最大的一个特点，就是“希望早点儿结婚”。那是我第一次相亲，也是最后一次，因为我不喜欢这种要很快结婚的感觉。
我很多回老家工作的女生朋友都是通过相亲结婚的，基本上一年内就会结婚，然后生小孩。在大城市的朋友有通过相亲脱单，也有通过参加活动认识另一半的，单身的人也不少。
我觉得不管是什么形式的相亲，都是一个让我们认识人的机会。最关键的是你要想清楚自己要找什么样的人， 过什么样的生活。
你支持相亲吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

En la actualidad celebramos la Independencia de México disfrutando de la gastronomía, servicios y productos culturales con los que nos hemos forjado una identidad. El Grito que dio el insurgente Miguel Hidalgo, la noche del 15 de septiembre que incitó una revuelta contra el Virreinato, se celebra gritando a todo pulmón lo que somos y lo que tenemos.

Vuelve el deporte nacional de El Grito de Independencia este 2022, tras una pausa debido a la pandemia. De nueva cuenta hay acceso libre al Zócalo y se llevará a cabo diferentes espectáculos que incluirán música y baile previo a la ceremonia del Grito.

Se llevará a cabo el Sorteo de la Lotería Nacional en punto de las 20:00 horas, la apertura de la Plaza de la Constitución a las 21:00 horas, y una hora después, a las 22:00, iniciará el espectáculo musical.

Las Fiestas Patrias en Huichapan Hidalgo, se ponen intensas porque todo comenzó aquí. Fue el primer sitio en donde se celebró el Grito de Independencia la madrugada del 16 de septiembre de 1812. En este lugar, se celebra a lo grande porque es la fiesta más especial del pueblo: Cabalgata Charra, charreadas, pasillos gastronómicos, exposiciones culturales y una representación en conmemoración del primer Grito de Independencia, después hay un espectáculo de juegos pirotécnicos y bailes populares.

¡El rugido de la Independencia será dado por los increíbles Tigres del Norte! Un concierto gratuito precedido por diversos invitados especiales, entre quienes estará el hijo del activista estadounidense por los derechos humanos, Martin Luther King.

As a communication coach, I witness the transformative power of preparation in business communication.  Winging it might work occasionally, but for consistent success, pre-communication planning is your secret weapon.  Here are my top 6  tips to ensure you dominate your next meeting, presentation, or email exchange:

1. Know Your Audience:  This isn't a cliche; it's the foundation.  Research your audience's background, interests, and pain points.  Tailor your language and message to resonate with them.  Imagine explaining your idea to a friend – that level of clarity and connection is what you're aiming for.

2. Define Your Purpose:  What is the single most important takeaway you want your audience to have?  Is it to inform, persuade, or simply update?  Having a clear purpose keeps your message focused and avoids information overload.

3. Craft a Compelling Message:  Less is more.  Eliminate jargon and redundancy.  Structure your message with a clear beginning, middle, and end.  Practice your delivery beforehand, paying attention to pacing, tone, and body language.

4. Anticipate Roadblocks:  Forewarned is forearmed.  Think of potential objections or questions your audience might have.  Prepare clear, concise responses that address these concerns head-on.  This demonstrates confidence and proactive problem-solving.

5. Choose Your Weapon Wisely:  Not all communication channels are created equal.  Consider the purpose and audience when selecting your method.  A complex proposal might be best delivered as a written document, while a team update could thrive on a video call.

6. Embrace Technology:  Utilize presentation tools effectively.  Visuals can significantly enhance understanding and retention of your message.  However, avoid information overload –  keep slides clean and focused on supporting your core points.
