自転車の看板や、めがねの看板やそのほか 
いろんな看板が、あるものは新しいペンキでかかれ、
あるものは、古い壁のようにはげていましたが、
町に はじめて出てきた子狐にはそれらのものが
いったい何であるか分らないのでした。
とうとう帽子屋がみつかりました。
お母さんが道々よく教えてくれた、
黒い大きなシルクハットの帽子の看板が、
青い電燈に照らされて かかっていました。
子狐は教えられた通り、トントンと戸を叩きました。

「こんばんは」
　
すると、中では何かことこと音がしていましたが
やがて、戸が一寸ほどゴロリとあいて、
光の帯が道の白い雪の上に 長く伸びました。
子狐はその光が まばゆかったので、めんくらって、
まちがった方の手を、
――お母さまが出しちゃいけないと言って
よく聞かせた方の手を 
すきまから さしこんでしまいました。

朗読 『手袋を買いに』第八話 Buying Mittens #8


Acing a job interview goes beyond showcasing your skills and experience. It's about persuasion – convincing the interviewer you're the perfect fit. Here are three key techniques to transform your interview from good to great:

1. The Power of Storytelling: Facts and figures are important, but stories resonate. Weave a compelling narrative about a time you faced a challenge in a previous role.  Describe your thought process, actions taken, and the positive outcome. This not only highlights your skills but also demonstrates your problem-solving abilities and impact.

2. The "Why" Factor:  Don't just explain what you can do; connect it to the company's mission. Research the company's values and goals. During your interview, explain why their vision aligns with your own aspirations. This showcases your genuine interest and how you'd contribute to their success.

3. Anticipation is Key:  Prepare for their questions, but also anticipate potential objections about your experience or qualifications.  For example, if you lack direct experience in a specific area, highlight transferable skills or relevant coursework.  Have data or references ready to back up your claims, demonstrating your initiative and preparedness.

By mastering these techniques, you'll move from simply answering questions to shaping the narrative of the interview. You'll showcase your passion, problem-solving skills, and alignment with the company, ultimately persuading them that you're the ideal candidate for the job. Remember, a successful interview is a two-way street. Let your enthusiasm and persuasive communication shine through, and you'll be well on your way to landing your dream job.

How to Be Confident in Your Opinions

In part two, Teacher Smith discusses how our brains learn best. They explain that traditional English lessons often struggle to help us remember words, especially when we try to translate them. Teacher Smith suggests that emotional connections help us remember words better, similar to how we know song lyrics by heart.

They introduce mnemonics as memory tricks, like acronyms or phrases, to aid in remembering information. However, while helpful for tests, mnemonics can be slow to recall and aren't ideal for speaking fluently.

Teacher Smith then introduces "Word Webs," which are interconnected networks of words that help with memory retention. They compare word webs to spider webs, emphasizing their resilience even if some connections are lost.

The episode reveals the "Billion-Dollar Memory Secret," explaining how leading companies secure top-of-mind awareness. They highlight the challenge for new companies to establish themselves in consumers' minds and draw parallels to remembering new words automatically.

Finally, Teacher Smith discusses the challenge of replacing memories in the brain, especially when learning a new language. They explain how thinking in one's native language can hinder the recall of English words and suggest creating new mental categories to bridge the gap.

In the next episode, Teacher Smith promises to explore solutions to this problem.
