Teacher Joseph's Podcast

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DREAM JOB - Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are trying to get, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and can't wait to get to work. / WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD YOU REFUSE TO WORK WITH? - Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organisation, violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will label you as a whiner. / TELL ME ABOUT A PROBLEM YOU HAD WITH A
SUPERVISOR, TEAM LEADER, MANAGER, OR BOSS - The biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any
trouble you might have had.

こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですか？私は元気ですよ～！今日は「プレゼント選び」についてお話ししたいと思います。

サウジアラビアに来てから、プレゼントを買う機会が格段に増えました。
主に息子や息子のいとこたちのためのプレゼントです。
サウジアラビアでは、年に二回イードという日本で言うお正月みたいなお祝いのお休みがあります。イードのときには、子供たちにお金やプレゼントをあげます。
私と夫は今のところイードの時は毎年お金は渡さず、おもちゃとお菓子をプレゼントしています。確かにお金だと選ぶ必要がないので楽なのですが、やはり小さい子供はおもちゃやお菓子をあげた方が喜びますね！
今回、イードは４月中旬とちょうど先週ありました。今年は息子のいとこたちにあげるおもちゃを選ぶのは少し大変でした。去年二回のイードと彼女たちの誕生日プレゼントで、三回おもちゃを渡していて、すでに持っていなさそうなおもちゃを選びたかったからです。去年はあまりじっくり考える時間がなかったのですが、今年は早めにリサーチして、ちょっとずつおもちゃを買いました。バブルガンやルームプロジェクターなどをプレゼントしました。みんなの喜ぶ顔を見ると嬉しいですね。
また、7月に息子の6歳の誕生日があるので、誕生日プレゼントも探していました。息子は毎月2,3個はおもちゃをもらったり、買ったりしていたので、こちらも悩みました。いろいろ考えた末、息子が最近ハマっている忍者コスチュームや百科事典、カメラ、ボードゲームをあげることにしました。買いすぎましたね。今は学校に行っていなくて暇なので、「早めの誕生日プレゼント1、2」とか言って、少しずつプレゼントしています。今日、忍者コスプレセットが届いて早速渡したところ、大喜びでした。誕生日にメインのプレゼントを渡すのが楽しみです！
それではまた、マアッサラーマ！

第36回：プレゼント選び~choosing gifts~ 【スクリプト】

“As I live in a pretty small town, I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people from different countries or cultures, but I've had the pleasure of getting to know James, an English teacher from the UK. 

James hails from London, and moved here about 2 years ago to work as an English tutor in one of the local high schools. I guess he’s in his mid-twenties, and being one of the few foreigners here, has become a kind of local celebrity. 

The first time I met James was at an English corner, which was held at one of the local coffee shops in town. I saw it advertised, and decided to go along, as I really needed to brush up on my English speaking skills. I remember, I was the first to arrive, and introduced myself to James, and was immediately taken aback when he started to introduce himself in the local dialect! 

We got chatting, and hit it off from the start, getting along like a house on fire. Not only did it turn out that we were both football fanatics, but also shared the same taste in music. 

We have since become the best of mates, and hang out at least once or twice a week. I really love chatting to him, and getting to learn all about English culture, as well as sharing different aspects of my own culture with him. I have great respect for James, as he has really made an effort to immerse himself into the local culture here. On top of that, getting to know him has been a real eye opener, and helped to dispel any negative cultural stereotypes.”

Episode 5: In The Clothing Store - Giyim Mağazasından Giysi Alıyorum..

King Charles III was officially named Britain’s head of state on September 10. The ceremony was held at St. James’s Palace, in London, England. The tradition is centuries old. But this was the first time it was broadcast live online and on TV.

In a speech, Charles promised to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on his new role. “I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities . . . which have now passed to me,” he said.

The ceremony ended when a royal official announced the news from a palace balcony. With trumpet players by his side, he led cheers of “Hip, hip, hooray!” for the new king.

King Charles’s coronation, or official crowning, is likely months away. It will be held at London’s Westminster Abbey.
