〈#20〉3月21日月曜日　災害の時に、外国人に情報を伝えるチーム

...
Тихо тянулись дни, тихо вставало горячее солнце и обтекало синее небо, распростершееся над Волгой и ее прибрежьем. Медленно ползли снегообразные облака в полдень и иногда, сжавшись в кучу, потемняли лазурь и рассыпались веселым дождем на поля и сады, охлаждали воздух и уходили дальше, дав простор тихому и теплому вечеру.

Если же вдруг останавливалась над городом и Малиновкой черная туча и разрешалась продолжительной, почти тропической грозой — все робело, смущалось, весь дом принимал, как будто перед нашествием неприятеля, оборонительное положение. Татьяна Марковна походила на капитана корабля во время шторма.

— Гасить огни, закрывать трубы, окна, запирать двери! — слышалась ее команда. — Поди, Василиса, посмотри, не курят ли трубок? Нет ли где сквозного ветра? Отойди, Марфенька, от окна!

Пока ветер качал и гнул к земле деревья, столбами нес пыль, метя поля, пока молнии жгли воздух и гром тяжело, как хохот, катался в небе, бабушка не смыкала глаз, не раздевалась, ходила из комнаты в комнату, заглядывала, что делают Марфенька и Верочка, крестила их и крестилась сама, и тогда только успокоивалась, когда туча, истратив весь пламень и треск, бледнела и уходила вдаль.

Утром восходило опять радостное солнце и играло в каждой повисшей на листьях капельке, в каждой луже, заглядывало в каждое окно и било в стекла и щели счастливого приюта.

Negotiation and Change Management: Navigating the Corporate Seas

In the ever-evolving landscape of business, the ability to negotiate and manage change is akin to navigating treacherous seas. Successful captains of industry understand that these skills are not just necessary; they are the rudder that steers the corporate ship through both calm and stormy waters.

The Art of Negotiation

Negotiation is the subtle art of reaching an agreement that benefits all parties involved. It’s a dance of communication, where each step is carefully calculated to achieve a harmonious outcome. For managers, negotiation skills are indispensable. They are the tools that help forge strong stakeholder relationships, drive business objectives, and resolve conflicts that could otherwise fester into costly disputes.

Change Management: The Compass of Progress

Change management, on the other hand, is the compass that guides a company towards progress. It involves preparing, supporting, and helping individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. Leaders who excel in change management not only anticipate the shifts in their industry but also create the strategies that will enable their teams to adapt swiftly and efficiently.

Combining Forces for Success

When negotiation and change management converge, they create a powerful synergy. Negotiation skills allow managers to involve key stakeholders in the change process, increasing buy-in and reducing resistance. Meanwhile, change management provides the framework for implementing the negotiated agreements, ensuring that the change is not just accepted but embraced.


As we sail into the future, the waters of business will only get more challenging. But with robust negotiation and change management skills, managers can not only weather the storms but also harness the winds of change to propel their organizations to new heights. It’s time to set sail and navigate the corporate seas with confidence and skill.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE UNA ESTUDIANTE QUE SE LLAMA VICTORIA.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.

1. ¿Que tan bueno eras en la escuela?

2. ¿Cual era tu materia favorita?

Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Victoria al escribir los números en su libreta lo
pasa muy bien.

Para hacer el uno pinta una rayita de arriba
abajo en el papel y le pone después una teja.
Para hacer el dos dibuja con cuidado el cuello
de un cisne.

Para dibujar el tres pone dos montañas de pie y
sigue con sus dibujos, para hacer un cuatro primero
una cruz y después le baja un palito como una vela.


Sigue con el cinco y el seis. ¡Qué fácil es! El
seis es un círculo que no puede cerrar. Y así poquito
a poco hasta el nueve que lo pinta despacito primero
un círculo y después le añade con cuidado una cola
de gato.

Victoria ya sabe escribir todos los números.

Textile waste is an urgent global problem, with only 12% recycled worldwide, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a fashion sustainability nonprofit.

Nowhere is the problem greater than in China, the world's largest textile producer and consumer, where more than 26 million tons of clothes are thrown away each year, according to government statistics. Most of it ends up in landfills.

The country's clothing industry is dominated by "fast fashion" — cheap clothes made from unrecyclable synthetics. And Chinese e-commerce brands Shein and Temu make the country one of the world's largest producers of cheap fashion, selling in more than 150 countries.

Currently, only about 20% of China's textiles are recycled, according to the Chinese government. And many Chinese consumers are unwilling to buy used items anyway.

Still, among younger Chinese, there is a growing awareness of sustainability and some "remade" clothing businesses have emerged.

Designer Zhang Na's fashion label, Reclothing Bank, sells clothes, bags and other accessories made from materials such as plastic bottles, fishing nets and flour sacks.

The items' labels have QR codes that show their composition, how they were made and the source of the materials.

Reclothing Bank began in 2010 to give "new life to old things," Zhang said of her store in Shanghai. A large used clothes deposit box sits outside the entrance.

Zhang said she has seen sustainability consciousness grow since she opened her store, with core customers in their 20s and 30s.

But recycled garments sold at stores like Reclothing Bank cost much more than fast-fashion brands due to their production methods.

And that's the real problem, said Sheng Lu, professor of fashion and apparel studies at the University of Delaware.

"Studies repeatedly show consumers are not willing to pay higher for clothing made from recycled materials" he said.
