カンパネラ爺は、机のひきだしから 古びたアンモナイトの殻をとりだし、
ラッパの根もとに むけました。あのときのオルゴールです。
ハンドルを ゆっくりまわすと、アンモナイトのオルゴールから
とても やさしい音色が ながれました。
アンモナイトのオルゴールの やさしい音色は、カンパネラ爺が５０年かけて 
こしらえたラッパを とおって、大きな大きな音になり、空中帝国の はしのはしまで
鳴りひびきました。こんな やさしい音色は、いままで だれも聴いたことが ありません。　
世界のすべてが、とまったかのようでした。
だれもが一度、手をやすめ、その音色に心を うばわれました。


【Kanji】

古びた　　　　　　ふるびた
殻　　　　　　　　から
音色　　　　　　　ねいろ
鳴りひびきました　なりひびきました

While you won’t know the interview questions ahead of time, most behavioral interviews will focus on various work-related challenges that demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving, and situations that showcase leadership skills, conflict resolution and performance under pressure. 

Here is one example of how to answer popular a behavioral interview question using the STAR method:


Q. "Share an example of a time when you faced a difficult problem at work. How did you solve this problem?"
