The fourth planet belonged to a businessman.
这个人忙得不可开交，小王子到来的时候，他甚至连头都没有抬一下。
This man was so much occupiedthat he did not even raise his head at the little prince's arrival.
小王子对他说：“您好。您的烟卷灭了。”
"Good morning," the little prince said to him. "Your cigarette has gone out."
三加二等于五。五加七等于十二。十二加三等于十五。

你好。十五加七，二十二。二十二加六，二十八。
Good morning. Fifteen and seven make twenty-two.Twenty-twoand six make twenty-eight.

I haven't time to light it again.
二十六加五，三十一。
Twenty-six and Five make thirty-one.
哎哟！一共是五亿一百六十二万二千七百三十一。
Phew! Then that makes Five-hundred-and-one-million,six-hundred-twenty-two-thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one.
“五亿什么呀？”小王子问。
"Five hundred million what?" asked the little prince.
嗯？你还待在这儿那？
Eh? Are you still there?
五亿一百万，我也不知道是什么了。我的工作很多!

Five-hundred-and-one million, I can't stop, I have so much to do!
我是很严肃的。
I am concerned with matters of consequence.
我可是从来也没有功夫去闲聊！二加五得七…
I don't amusemyself with balderdash. Two and Five make seven...
“五亿一百万什么呀？”小王子重复问道。
"Five-hundred-and-one million what?" repeated the little prince,
一旦他提出了一个问题，是从来也不会放弃的。
who neverin his life had let go of a question once he had asked it.
这位实业家抬起头说。
The businessman raised his head.
我住在这个星球上五十四年以来，只被打搅过三次。
During the Fifty-four years that I have inhabited this planet, I have been disturbed only three times.
第一次是二十二年前，不知从哪里跑来了一只金龟子来打搅我。
The First time was twenty-two years ago, when some giddy goose fell from goodness knows where.
它发出一种可怕的噪音，
He made the most frightful noise that resounded all over the place,
使我在一笔帐目中出了四个差错。
and I made four mistakes in my addition.
第二次，在十一年前，是风湿病发作，
因为我缺乏锻炼所致。
我没有功夫闲逛。我可是个严肃的人。
现在…这是第三次！
我计算的结果是五亿一百万…

几百万什么？
这位实业家知道要想安宁是无望的了，就说道：

几百万个小东西，这些小东西有时出现在天空中。

苍蝇吗？
Flies?
不是，是些闪闪发亮的小东西。
Oh, no. Little glittering objects.
是蜜蜂吗？
Bees?
不是，是金黄色的小东西，这些小东西叫那些懒汉们胡思乱想

我是个严肃的人。我没有时间胡思乱想。

Have you wondered what is important in a job interview?


How should you speak to HR people? What skills do you illustrate best?


What if you start speaking of a wrong thing that will ‘demotivate’ an employer from hiring you?


Have you had these thoughts when preparing for a job interview?


Most people forget they have value, they stand for something, and they have a character that (if positioned properly, and I help my private students to do that), if positioned properly, you can communicate ‘in a matching’ manner.


The job interview process is a science; it takes meticulous research into the ‘unobvious traits that need to be brought up', such as pulling out your beliefs and attitudes as a'sales point’ that can potentially be the defining factor in being hired.

In today’s recording, I’ll have you sold on some ideas my CEO students, C-level managers, and vice presidents of companies told me to share with you! J Since I have direct access to these people,.

Soft skills VS Hard skills in a Job Interview.

This is a brief summary of the story of how I helped my client improve her communication at work. 

A project manager felt disrespected by her team due to a lack of technical knowledge and weak communication. To address this, I implemented a 3-step approach: 1) bi-weekly technical briefings, 2) replacing weak verbs with strong verbs to convey authority, and 3) assertiveness training to express ideas clearly. Within weeks, she confidently participated in technical discussions, leading her team more effectively. This improved communication boosted morale and led to a successful product launch.

Overcoming your Fears with Confident Language - EP 30

みなさんは「お疲れ様です」という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？日本人はこの言葉をあいさつのように使います。仕事が終わって帰る時に同僚に言うことが多いですが、何かをやり終えた人に対しても言います。
先週末は日本語能力試験-JLPTの日でした。私の生徒さんの中にも受けた人がいます。私はJLPTを受けた人全員に「お疲れ様でした。」と言いたいです。できたという人もできなかったという人もいると思いますが、まずはテストを受けるためにがんばって勉強してきた自分をほめてあげてください。テストのためにたくさん勉強してきたので、もう勉強したくないという人もいるかもしれません。そういう人はまた勉強したくなる日まで、日本語のマンガやアニメ、ドラマなどを見ながらなるべく日本語に触れる時間を作ってください。そうすれば今の日本語のレベルをしばらく保てると思います。日本語に全く触れなくなると、せっかくJLPTのために覚えた知識が消えてしまって、テストを受けた時のレベルまで戻るのに時間がかかるかもしれません。
テストは終わったけど勉強したいという人はJLPTのために覚えたことを会話の中でも使えるように練習するのが効果的だと思います。今は会話のレベルを上げるチャンスだと思います。
テストが終わったから勉強をやめるというのは絶対にやめて下さい。せっかくの努力がむだになってしまいます。少し休んでからでもいいので、勉強したことを忘れないうちにまた始めて下さい。
最後にテストに合格するかどうかはあまり大事なことではないと思います。JLPTを受けるために勉強したことを会話や生活の中で使えることの方がもっと大事なことだと思います。

私はオンラインで日本語を教えています。私のレッスンに興味がある人はリンクから予約して下さい。
テストが終わってもう勉強したくないという人はしばらく休んで、勉強したくなったら来てください。

Festivals: UP Your Small Talk Game in Chinese!

According to data from the World Food Program, nearly 20% of all food produced each year is wasted or lost before it reaches our tables. This adds up to about 1 billion meals going to waste every day.

Wasting food is not only costly but also harmful to the planet. Growing food requires a lot of land, water and energy, and these resources are all wasted when food is thrown away. Also, food waste in landfills produces harmful greenhouse gases.

In fact, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature, food waste accounts for up to 10% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. And cutting global food waste by 50% by 2030 is a key goal of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

So it's clear that food waste is a huge problem, but what can the average person do to help?

For a start, several apps have been created to help reduce food waste, one of which is called Too Good to Go.

Restaurants, cafes and bakeries create a "surprise bag" — a collection of surplus food items that would otherwise be thrown away because they're close to expiring — and advertise it on the app.

Although users can't choose what goes into their surprise bag, the food in the bag is much cheaper than it would usually be.

Too Good to Go was founded in 2015 in Denmark, as a solution to the large amounts of food that were being wasted at buffet restaurants.

Many big stores now list their surplus food on Too Good to Go, such as Starbucks and Burger King. And the app's founders say their users have saved over 330 million meals from going to waste.

So while dealing with the issue of food waste may seem overwhelming, there are steps we can all take to make a difference.
