马克：丽丽，明天就要去见你的爸爸妈妈了。我准备买点儿鲜花送给阿姨，带一瓶红酒给叔叔。
Mǎkè: Lìlì, míngtiān jiù yào qù jiàn nǐ de bàba māma le。 Wǒ zhǔnbèi mǎi diǎner xiānhuā sòng gěi ā yí，dài yī píng hóngjiǔ gěi shūshu。
丽丽：不用买这些，我们一家都很喜欢吃水果，买点儿水果过去就好了。
Lìlì  :   Bùyòng mǎi zhèxiēū, wǒmen yī jiā dōu xǐhuan chī shuǐguǒ, mǎ diǎnr shuǐguǒ guòqù jiù hǎo le。
马克：就这么简单吗？跟我们那里不一样。
Mǎkè: Jiù zhème jiǎndān mā? Gēn wǒmen nàlǐ bù yīyàng。
丽丽：就是这么简单，太隆重了，他们反而觉得不自然。
Lìlì:     Jiùshì zhème jiǎndān, tài lóngzhòng le, tāmen fǎnér juéde bù zìrán。
马克：我担心这样做不礼貌呢。
Mǎkè: Wǒ dānxīn zhèyàng zuò bù lǐmào ne。
丽丽：投其所好，入乡随俗。我们也请你吃一顿家常便饭。
Lìlì:     Tóu qí suǒ hào, rù xiāng suí sú。 Wǒmen yě qǐng nǐ chī yī dùn jiā cháng biàn fàn。

Mark: Lili, I'm going to meet your mom and dad tomorrow. I'm going to buy some flowers for my aunt and a bottle of red wine for my uncle.  
Lili: There is no need to buy these. We all like fruit very much. Just buy some fruit.  
Mark: Is it that simple?  It's not like where we are.  
Lili: It's as simple as that. If they're too grand, they don't look natural.  
Mark: I'm afraid that would be rude.  
Lili: Do as the Romans do.  We'll treat you to a potluck dinner.

Hello, dear learners! 
Here is a situation number two - "how to ask for help".
Here are survival phrases that are highly recommended to learn by heart to react quick when necessary. Oh boy... I am sure you will never use it but it's kind of safer to be 100% prepared when travelling (not only in Russia!)
Your teacher,
Elena

Как попросить о помощи/How to ask for help


Decreased Productivity: Employees who are not adequately trained may struggle to complete tasks efficiently, leading to lower productivity and missed deadlines.

Increased Errors and Mistakes: Insufficient training can result in errors and mistakes that can negatively impact quality, customer satisfaction, and the organization's reputation.

Lower Morale and Engagement: Employees who feel underprepared may experience frustration and decreased job satisfaction, leading to higher turnover rates and lower employee engagement.

Slower Onboarding: New hires may take longer to become productive if they lack adequate training, which can increase costs and reduce efficiency.

Addressing the Training Gap

To mitigate the negative consequences of insufficient training, organizations must prioritize ongoing learning and development initiatives. This includes:

Needs Assessments: Regularly conducting comprehensive assessments to identify training gaps and ensure that training programs are targeted and relevant.
Tailored Training Programs: Developing customized training programs that address specific needs and learning styles, leveraging a variety of delivery methods such as online courses, workshops, and in-person training.
Continuous Learning: Encouraging employees to participate in ongoing learning and development opportunities, such as online courses, conferences, and professional certifications.
Mentorship and Coaching: Pairing employees with experienced mentors or coaches to provide guidance, support, and opportunities for skill development.
Performance Reviews: Using performance reviews to identify training needs, provide feedback, and recognize employee achievements.

课文五       《影子》
影子在前，
影子在后，
影子常常跟着我，
就像一条小黑狗。
影子在左，
影子在右，
影子常常陪着我，
它是我的好朋友。
