Сегодня суббота. (Today is Saturday.)
Я выспалась и чувствую себя хорошо. (I slept well and I feel good.)
Я помню, когда раньше совсем мало спала, (I remember when I used to sleep very little,)
но сейчас я стараюсь спать больше. (but now I try to sleep more.)
Я ещё не знаю, что я буду делать. (I don’t know yet what I will do.)
Скорее всего, я пойду кататься на велосипеде (Most likely, I will go cycling)
и может быть куплю что-нибудь покушать. (and maybe buy something to eat.)
Сейчас утро и на улице очень солнечно. (It’s morning now and it’s very sunny outside.)
Воздух утром тоже очень свежий. (The air in the morning is also very fresh.)
Много людей сейчас едут в лес со своими собаками. (Many people are going to the forest now with their dogs.)
Собаки очень счастливы потому что им нравится бегать в лесу. (The dogs are very happy because they like running in the forest.)

#150 - Ano ang halo halo?

More than seven out of 10 Americans have been dishonest when trying to get a job, according to a new survey.

A company called ResumeTemplates asked 1,250 people in the US about how honest they are when looking for jobs, doing interviews or taking tests during the hiring process.

And 71% of US job seekers said they'd been dishonest.

One of the most common things to do was to give a false reference. Almost half of the participants said they'd done this.

Some said they didn't have a real reference to give, while others said their last boss didn't like them.

But people said they'd been dishonest all through the hiring process. More than one in five people said they'd lied on their resume.

Some companies give people tests during the hiring process — and 22% of people said they'd used Google, artificial intelligence software or the help of others to answer test questions.

So does being dishonest work?

The answer to that question might be "sometimes" — only around three out of 10 people said they had gotten caught.

Of course, that doesn't mean being dishonest is the right thing to do.

However, a 2023 survey by a company called Resume Builder found that it's not just people looking for jobs who lie.

In fact, the survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers found that almost 40% have lied to people in job interviews.

In last week's podcast episode, How to Use Informational Interviews to Land Your Dream Job, I said informational interviews are the best-kept secret in networking. 

That means they're great, but many people don't know it. So, they don't include informational interviews in their networking efforts. 

Tune in to this week’s episode to more about using “best-kept secret” and five more English phrases and idioms. You'll also get some homework at the end so you can continue to improve your English communication skills. Tune in to continue building your English vocabulary with new idioms and phrases!

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL ABUELO TOMAS.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Tienes una familia grande o pequeña?

2. ¿Que tipo de actividades haces con tu familia?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Mi abuelo Tomás tiene ochenta años y vive con nosotros. Tiene buena salud, aunque a veces dice que le duele una pierna, pero camina ágilmente cuando le llaman sus amigos para jugar a las cartas después de comer.

Todos los domingos me lleva a ver el futbol y después me compra un helado.

En vacaciones siempre viene con nosotros y le gusta mucho ir a la playa. A veces discute con mi padre cuando quiere ir a la montaña. Al final siempre se sale con la suya y mi padre acaba cediendo. Para compensarle siempre nos invita el primer día de vacaciones a un buen restaurante.

Quiero mucho a mi abuelo.
