Inspirando a principiantes: Audios para nivel A2

La casa de la abuela (con transcripción)

みなさん、こんにちは。おげんきですか。日本は3連休です。そして、台風が来ています。
大型の台風が九州に近づいているようです。九州にお住まいの方、大丈夫ですか。気をつけてください。
19日の月曜日は敬老の日で、23日の金曜日は秋分の日なので、今週は休みが多いです。九月のこの連休のことをシルバーウイークって言うんですよ。

我が家の高校2年生の息子は、今日は学校の文化祭。今朝は台風の影響で雨足が強かったのですが、朝6時半に家を出て行きました。青春ですね。「文化祭、何をするの」って聞くと、「モグラたたき」って。えー、何それって感じです。人間モグラたたきのようですよ。楽しいことを考えますね。
コロナ前は入場制限もなく自由に学校見学に行けましたが、コロナ禍ということで、インターネットで予約してからの入場のようです。面倒な時代ですね。でも、インターネットでの配信も少しあるみたいなので、わざわざ学校まで足を運ばなくても、文化祭の様子を垣間見ることができます。これは、親にはありがたいですね。

娘は明日が誕生日です。で、雨ですが、原宿まで洋服を買いに行きたいと。日本の小学生はおしゃれが大好きですよ。
なので、大雨の中、私の姉も一緒に原宿にお買い物に行ってきました。私の姉ですから、娘にとってはおばさんですね。たくさん試着して、さんざん悩んで洋服を買いました。
娘との買い物は、私自身も楽しみなんです。あー、こんなのが好きなんだとか、大きくなったなあって思いながら、楽しく買い物しましたよ。原宿は雨でも混んでいました。

みなさんはどんな週末でしたか。


「のぞみ」の日記

3連休（9月18日）

Un detto italiano dice: "Non si può avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca", applicandolo al tema di oggi, è molto difficile avere un salario alto e molto tempo libero. Purtroppo spesso è anche difficile avere del tempo libero pur non avendo un salario alto. Ma in genere, se è vero che il tempo è denaro, più ne vendiamo più si guadagna. Quanto vale la nostra libertà?

Tempo libero e salari

Poesia tratta dal libro di Alda Merini (Milano, 1931-2009), "La vita facile", dove la celebre poetessa sviscera le impressioni di un'intera vita: dal manicomio alla passione amorosa, dall'invecchiamento alla solitudine nella sua casa di Milano. Buon ascolto!................................................

"La Vita Facile"

A tutti i giovani raccomando:
aprite i libri con religione,
non guardateli superficialmente,
perché in essi è racchiuso
il coraggio dei nostri padri.
E richiudeteli con dignità
quando dovete occuparvi di altre cose.
Ma soprattutto amate i poeti.
Essi hanno vangato per voi la terra
per tanti anni, non per costruivi tombe,
o simulacri, ma altari.
Pensate che potete camminare su di noi
come su dei grandi tappeti
e volare oltre questa triste realtà quotidiana.

A.M.

Mi España - La Ciudad de Sevilla

Like many other grandmothers, Daisy likes to knit, and she isn't very good with technology.

Or, at least, that's what she might tell people on the phone.

Daisy also describes herself as "your worst nightmare." But don't worry, she's not talking to you — she's talking to phone scammers.

That's because Daisy is actually an AI chatbot. She was created by UK phone company Virgin Media O2 to speak to scammers on the phone and make them believe they're talking to a real person.

Older people are very vulnerable to scams. In July, a UK study found that about 67% of people over the age of 75 were victims of at least one scam attempt in the six months before the study — with almost 75% being phone scams.

Enter Daisy, who has been trained to have conversations with phone scammers and waste their time.

Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber who has spent years "scambaiting" — that is, pretending to be a clueless victim to waste scammers' time.

And that's the whole point — Daisy can't stop scammers, but she can slow them down.

"Whenever she's on the phone with a scammer, your parents, your grandparents, your relatives, are not being scammed," Browning told Sky News.

The company says Daisy is already "wasting hundreds and hundreds of hours of scammers' time," and has shared real-life conversations the chatbot has had with scammers.

Some conversations last nearly an hour. She talks about her cat, Fluffy, and people in her family. In some conversations, she gives the scammers what they want — bank details. But of course, they're not real.

Murray Mackenzie from Virgin Media O2 said Daisy is also a reminder that the person you're speaking to on the phone might not always be who they say they are.

Mastering Confidence: How to look confident in an important meeting?

Confidence is essential for success in any high-stakes meeting. It’s not just about outward appearances; it’s deeply rooted in your self-image. Your self-image is the mental picture you hold of yourself – your skills, strengths, and values.

A negative self-image can manifest in weak communication, a hesitant tone, and unconfident body language. These traits can hinder your ability to express yourself effectively and project your worth in important meetings/ job interviews / IELTS speaking tests.

By working on your self-image, you can cultivate the inner confidence that translates into powerful communication. This involves recognizing your strengths, challenging negative self-talk, and building a positive belief system about your abilities.

My mindset coaching programs help individuals awaken their inner success potential. Through targeted training, I empower clients to overcome limiting beliefs and develop the confidence necessary to thrive in demanding situations.

Are you ready to unlock your full potential in meetings? Dive into this transformative journey and prepare for change!
