Today I’m going to talk about a new system, the face pass for station ticket gate. 
It is the test stage before the full-scale operation. 
I have doubts if this system can recognize correctly who I am. 
Why do I doubt it? Please listen this story! Thank you!
****************************************************************
先日、新聞に駅の改札に「顔パス」で通過できる改札機を試験的に導入するという記事が載っていました。　改札を「顔パス」で通過するには、あらかじめ顔写真を登録しておく必要があるそうです。　毎日　同じ駅を使って　会社に行く人や学校に行く人たちにとっては、とても便利なシステムだと思います。
すでに、「顔」をパスワード替わりに使っているアプリが普通に使われています。例えば、銀行口座のアプリでは、顔認証と暗証番号の入力のいずれかでアクセスできるようになっています。　
実は、この顔認証に私は少々不便を感じています。最初に顔を登録したとき、私はばっちり化粧をして眼鏡をかけていました。　そのため、眼鏡をかけていなかったり、寝起きの化粧をしていない顔だと本人だと認識してくれないのです。　間違いなく本人なのに、化粧をしているかしていないか、眼鏡をかけているかいないかで、本人かどうかがわからないのです。これって、なんだか変ですよね。　化粧をしていない、眼鏡をかけていない顔が　本当の私の顔のはずなのに、アプリに「本人ではありません」と判断されているのですから。
きっと、これから駅の改札に導入される「顔パス」機能も、同じようなことが起こるのじゃないかと思っています。。　そう考えると、「顔パス」登録用の顔とスタイルを決めておかなくてはいけません。　そうしなければ、私が登録していない顔で通るたびに、改札が開かずに渋滞が起きてしまいますからね。
今日は新しい駅の改札についてお話しました。

Apresentação do podcast

DOCTOR: What seems to be the problem?
CATHY: Well, I have a bad cough and a sore throat. I also have 
a headache.
DOCTOR: How long have you had these symptoms?
CATHY: About three days now. And I’m really tired, too.
DOCTOR: Hmm. It sounds like you’ve got the flu. Take aspirin
every four hours and get plenty of rest. Make sure you 
drink lots of fluids. Call me if you’re still sick next week.
CATHY: OK, thanks

LANGUAGE NOTES 
• What seems to be the problem? means “What is the problem?” Notice that the intonation 
falls at the end of the question. The doctor wants information, not a “yes/no” answer.
• Well is used as an introductory word. Notice how the vowel is drawn out, to sound like 
“Weeeeeell …” This can be used as a way to “buy time” while you think about what you 
want to say next.
• A bad cough … a sore throat … a headache: Notice the article “a” before each symptom.
• About is used to mean “more or less.” It’s used here to give an estimate of time.
• Take aspirin … get rest … Make sure … Call me: Notice the doctor uses the simple tense 
here to give instructions. This is the imperative form of the verb.
• Still sick means “continue to be sick.”

The Missing Element in All Types of Interviews

In a job interview, make your case fast and be sure your suit is pressed, too. But it's not what the recording is about :) 

You might laugh, but it takes a few seconds for an experienced HR manager to decide on the outcome of the interview.

One of my students from China working as a general manager for a luxury firm said, "Oh, Anatoly, I watch for the words they use; if they have a victim mentality, the chances of them succeeding with us are low.". 

What are you going to do now after reading this?

I mean, I hear these remarks by my students who are top managers—they don't want to hear any kind of whining or complaining about the past. All they care about is how successfully you are going to assist and support the company's evolution and growth!

The winner's attitude is what they are looking for, and to be honest, it's a rare-case scenario.

If you check with yourself, what do you like? A complainer? A thrilled and excited individual? Are you happy about the changes, or does the future seem dark and gloomy?

Top managers got themselves trained to pick those nuanses, and so do I, as I've had top performers as my students for 8 years, and I did close to 21 thousand meetings with them—it's evident!

Let me know if this text was an eye-opener for you. I would be for me!!!
