Episode 20 : Exam stress (Vocabulary and discussion)

La música folclórica o música tradicional es la denominación para la música popular que se transmite de generación en generación como una parte más de los valores y de la cultura de un pueblo.
El folklore de El Salvador, o sus expresiones culturales populares, comparte rasgos comunes con la región mesoamericana. En El Salvador, la presencia de las civilizaciones ancestrales de los Mayas, Toltecas, Nahuas -entre otras-, dejaron su presencia en muchos de los aspectos de la vida cotidiana de la región.
Pancho Lara, eterno enamorado de su terruño, le dedicó muchas de sus composiciones musicales a la naturaleza, canciones dedicadas a los árboles, a las flores, a los lagos, a los pueblos que sobresalieron por alguna actividad comercial o de comportamientos tradicionales Pancho Lara fue un cantor solitario. Con su guitarra bajo el brazo compuso esta cancion llamada 
LAS CORTADORAS: Don Pancho trabajaba como administrador de café en la fresca ciudad de Jayaque. Nace la canción en una noche estrellada y con un frío que calaba hasta los huesos.
Las Cortadoras
Esta pieza dedicada a las cortadoras de café de El Salvador, creada por el maestro Pancho Lara, es bailada en grupo mixto, la mayoría de veces con trajes tipicos de color blanco.

Hi, everyone, Today I'm going to give you the best and the real life example answer to What are you weaknesses question?
Welcome to "Career Insights," the podcast where we explore essential career advice and strategies to help you succeed in the workplace. I'm your host, Anthony, and today we're diving into a common but tricky interview question: "What are your weaknesses?"

Understanding the Purpose
First, it's important to understand why interviewers ask this question. They want to see if you:
Have self-awareness: Can you identify areas where you need improvement?
Are honest and transparent: Are you willing to acknowledge your imperfections?
Are proactive about personal development: Do you take steps to address your weaknesses?
Choosing the Right Weakness
When selecting a weakness to discuss, consider the following:
Relevance: Choose a weakness that is relevant but not critical to the job you're applying for. For example, if you're applying for a financial analyst position, you might not want to highlight a weakness in attention to detail.
Authenticity: Be genuine. Interviewers can often tell if you're being insincere or giving a cliché answer.
Improvement: Select a weakness that you are actively working on improving. This shows initiative and a growth mindset.

1月の第2月曜日は「成人（せいじん）の日」です。日本では去年から18才が大人のスタートになりました。世界では18才の国が多いようですね。
例外を調べてみました。えーシンガポールは21才ですね。でも、お酒とたばこは18才からって、日本と反対なのが、おもしろいです。それから、プエルトリコは14才ですか！選挙（せんきょ）もお酒もたばこもOKだなんて、ちょっと想像（そうぞう）ができない…すみません、プエルトリコの方、いらっしゃったら、教えてください。
