!چه عجب از اینورا

"Скучно Егорке целый день в избе. Глянет в окошко: бело кругом. Замело лесникову избушку снегом. Белый стоит лес...."
Краткое содержание:
Главному герою всего тринадцать лет, и он любит охотиться в лесу. Мальчик живёт с отцом-лесником в своей избушке в лесу. Как-то раз мальчик отпросился у отца на охоту. Отец согласился, ведь он знал, что сын опытный охотник и у него есть ружье, так что ему нечего бояться. Но мальчик не возвратился. Отец пошел на поиски ночью, но не смог ничего найти. Утром он продолжил искать, и по следам на снегу смог найти сына. Мальчик сидел на дереве, потому что спасался от волков.


рассказы

Рассказ В. Бианки "По следам"

Recruiter: Why do you want to do this job?

Candidate: I would be very happy to work here because I really respect the work that this company does and I have always had a positive opinion of it. I believe that with the skills that I have learned over the past six years in this industry, I would be an excellent person to have on the team.

Recruiter: What experience do you have?



Candidate: When I started, I worked as a sales rep for two years and learned a lot during that time and went to a lot of training courses. After two years, I was promoted and became an area manager with a small team of two other people. I did that for three years, before moving to the job I do now. I currently manage a different area with a larger team of five people and since I have been there, our sales have increased by 25%.

Recruiter: Why are you looking for work?

Candidate: Ihave been with this company for six years now and I would like to have experience with a new company and I’m looking for a new challenge. Also, I have a new manager who started a couple of months ago and I don’t really get along with him. He’s pretty stupid.

Recruiter: How would you describe yourself?

Candidate: I’m a hard worker and enjoy learning new skills. I really love working in sales and don’t have a problem with working as long as I need to reach my goals. I’m good at working as part of a team, but I’m happy to work by myself too.

Recruiter: What is your dream job?

Candidate: Selling ice cream on a beach! Sun, ice cream, and sales: my three favorite things.

Recruiter: What are you good at?

Candidate: One of my biggest strengths is listening to customers to find out what they need and building relationships with them.

Recruiter: How do you deal with a large amount of work?

Candidate: First, I decide what are the most important tasks to deal with and I do those first. If I’ve got a lot to do, I will get up extra early and get a head start.

Recruiter: What are your hobbies?

冷凍のカンジャンケジャンを買い、解凍して食べました。
私の祖母は「美味しい」と言ってたくさん食べていましたが、正直私はしょっぱ過ぎると思いました。私は薄味の料理が好きで、祖母は濃い味が好きです。母はなんでも好きです。
私たち家族はみんな韓国ドラマが好きなので、韓国ドラマに出ている色々な料理に挑戦してみたいです。

If you watch ‘the glory' on Netflix, 
you can hear this expression in the first episode.
Yeon-jin’s daughter says this. 

우리 엄마는 주인공이 아니에요. (My mom is not a leading role)
우리 엄마는 부자니까요.(Because she’s rich)
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까.(Because the leading roles have always been poor)
You can hear ~~니까 in common. 

In Korean language, there are several expressions meaning “because”.
Some of You may already know about that. 
The basic thing is “~~이기 때문이에요”, “~이기 때문에”
If we replace the lines with ~~이기 때문에, 

우리 엄마는 부자이기 때문이에요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하기 때문에. 
But you can also use “~~니까” instead of ~~때문에

우리 엄마는 부자니까요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까. 

Here are other samples. 
사람이니까 실수할 수 있어요. Because you are a human, you can make a mistake.
더우니까 아이스크림을 먹고 싶어요. Because it’s hot, I want to have an Ice-cream.

Don’t forget this.
