TASK 62 - THE QUEEN  (old version)

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

〈#147〉動物をとるために、ドローンを使う！

Сегодня снова почитаем детскую литературу, а именно - рассказ Леонида Пантелеева “Испанские шапочки” про приключения двух маленьких сестёр, которых зовут Белочка и Тамарочка. Эту серию легко читать тем, кто учит русский язык, благодаря обилию диалогов и простых предложений. Кстати, слова здесь часто употребляются в уменьшительно-ласкательной форме: не платье, а платьице, не шкаф, а шкафчик. 

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: поза́втракать - есть завтрак - to have breakfast; полу́чше - чуть лучше - better, rather; посу́да - всё, что используем для еды: чашки, тарелки, кастрюли и т.д. - dishes, crockery, tableware; убира́ть - to clean up; мыть - очищать от грязи при помощи воды, воды с мылом - to wash, bathe; вытира́ть - убирать влагу - to wipe, mop; шкаф - cupboard; по́лка - shelf; ти́хо - без звука - quietly; блю́дце - маленькая тарелка под чашку или стакан - saucer; раско́кать - уронить и разбить - to unravel; ходи́ть на цы́почках - ходить на кончиках пальцев ног - walking on tiptoe; шёпот - тихая речь, когда говорят без участия голосовых связок - whisper; препира́ться - спорить по пустякам - to spar, altercate; неча́янно - случайно - accidentally, unintentionally; наступи́ть - придавить ногой - to step on, tread on; смо́рщиться - to wrinkle, wince, pucker; ве́жливый - соблюдает правила приличия, учтивый - polite, gentle; воспи́танный - умеет хорошо себя вести - civilized, well-mannered; гляде́ть - смотреть - to look, see; налюбова́ться - сильно любоваться (рассматривать с удовольствием) - to admire; сад - garden; сто́ить - нужно, следует - to be worth, deserve; ма́ло ли что - всё, что угодно - you never know what, anything; пла́тье - dress; споко́йнее - более спокойно - calmly, quietly, peacefully.
