日本料理をつくるときに　基本の調味料を入れる順番があります。
それが「さしすせそ」です。
「さ」は　砂糖
「し」は　塩
「す」は　酢
「せ」は　しょうゆ
「そ」は　味噌

料理によって使わない調味料はありますが、おいしく作るには　まず甘味をつけて　それから辛みをつけていくのが　日本料理の基本です。

ところが、友だちが　何をまちがったのか、「あいうえおの順番に　調味料は入れないとね」なんて言うです。
「あいうえお？？？」
「さしすせそ　でしょう？」
「あ！」

この会話のあと、私たちは　しばらく笑っていました。

When cooking Japanese cuisine, there is a specific order to add the basic seasonings.
It’s called "Sa-Shi-Su-Se-So."

"Sa" stands for sugar (sato).
"Shi" stands for salt (shio).
"Su" stands for vinegar (su).
"Se" stands for soy sauce (shoyu).
"So" stands for miso (miso).
While not all these seasonings are used in every dish, the key to delicious Japanese cooking is to start with sweetness and then gradually add the salty flavors.

However, my friend made a funny mistake and said,
"You have to add the seasonings in the order of A-I-U-E-O, right?"
"A-I-U-E-O??? Wait, don’t you mean Sa-Shi-Su-Se-So?"
"Oh!"

After that conversation, we couldn’t stop laughing for a while.

What is the Difference between “dis-” and “mis-”? — Making Negative Words in English

Part of mastering communication is learning the arts. Here is a business themed poem for you to explore. After practicing with this, make your own. Take some time to ponder your business as well. 

In the bustling business bazaar, bold bankers briskly bargain. Trading trinkets, tallying treasure, they twist tongues with finance fervor. Swiftly scribing, stocks they stir, savvy whispers in the blur.

Business Poetry - Episode 4

Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.
