※ きょうかしょの「メアリーさん、しゅうまつは”たいてい”何をしていますか」はおかしいです。
『メアリーさん、しゅうまつは”いつも”何をしていますか』にしました。
The original sentence　メアリーさん、しゅうまつは”たいてい”何をしていますか。 is unnatural for me.
I fixed as 『メアリーさん、しゅうまつは”いつも”何をしていますか』.


たけし：メアリーさん、しゅうまつは　いつも何をしていますか。

メアリー：そうですね。たいていうちでべんきょうしています。でもときどきえいがを 見ます。

たけし：そうですか。じゃあ、どよう日にえいがを見ませんか。

メアリー：どよう日はちょっと…。

たけし：じゃあにちよう日はどうですか。

メアリー：いいですね。

Takeshi: Then, how about Sunday? 

Mary: That`s fine.

Imagine being asked this question in an interview, do you have our DNA? 

It's so strange that it'll make most people feel ackward since they've never heard of this question, right? 

Take you for example, what would you say to a question like this? Will you lose face and be out of words or..?

I help my students to find the right words and I talk about it in today's recording. Jump into it.

You can read Harvard's article on the DNA's topic here if you'd like to have a further research into this topic: 

https://hbr.org/2008/02/whats-your-companys-dna

Real DNA contains genetic information about how we look and behave, and it also defines what makes us different from each other

On the other hand,  a brands DNA is not an advertising slogan or a statement coined for the purposes of positioning. Since it is the center of all brand-building efforts, it should convey a strategic message! 

If you'll spot it in your research and will communicate about it in your interview heavily - you'll set yourself apart from the competition!

Come of my 1-1 training and we'll dive deep into preparing you for success in a job interview or any spoken English related endevoir!

Job Preparation Counseling. How To Impress the manager in a matter of minutes?!

One of Coca-Cola's many taglines was: "You can't beat the real thing." The company was trying to say that even though there were a lot of similar drinks, none of them was as good as the "real" Coke.

You might not agree. But when it comes to art, researchers in the Netherlands think it's true — you can't beat the real thing.

A small study has found that real artworks stimulate the brain much more than posters or prints of the same work.

The Mauritshuis ("MAO-rits-haus") Museum in The Hague commissioned the study. The museum's best-known artwork is Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Researchers showed this artwork and four others to 20 people. While they were looking at the paintings, their brain activity was measured using a brain scanner.

The participants were also asked to look at posters of those same five artworks. The researchers compared their brain activity when looking at the real artworks and when looking at the posters.

They found that when looking at the real artworks, participants had an emotional response that was 10 times stronger compared to when they were looking at the posters.

Martine Gosselink from the museum said this was an "enormous difference." She said they had thought that looking at the real thing might give people a richer experience, but now "we can really say that it is true."

The researchers said the real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is involved with self-reflection and personal memories.

Some have said that this research demonstrates the importance of museums and galleries for people of all ages.
