[모임공지] 4월6일 M-PIS 257th Meeting and Topic Notice

[ben~]

오랜만에 단비가 오네요.

회사에서 새로운 보직을 받아,

여태 퇴근 못하고, 책상 지키고 있습니다.

그냥 평범한 날 보다는,

이렇게 살짝 찌푸리거나,

비오는 날의 존재도..

일상을 지루하지 않게 만드는

좋은 매개 인것 같아요~^^

지난주엔

회사 업무로 인해 Hans가 대신 스터디를 맡아주었습니다.

다시한번 감사인사^^

4월의 첫번째

토픽과 모임공지 올리며...

다음주 월요일에 만나길 기대 합니다.

Topic1. Expat

 A new report shows which are the friendliest countries in the world. The HSBC bank conducted the Expat Explorer Survey to find out which countries offered the most comfortable lifestyles. Researchers questioned people in one hundred different countries between May and July 2011. They asked 3,385 respondents to assess how willing they would be to make different countries their second home. The questions were based on how easy it is to make friends with the local people; learning the local language, fitting in with the new culture, and integrating into the local community. The top-ranked country was New Zealand, followed by Australia, South Africa, Canada and the United States.

Head of marketing for HSBC, Lisa Wood, said: “As the largest global survey of expats, Expat Explorer allows us to capture invaluable insights into expat life and how it differs from country to country, continent to continent and from an expats’ home country of origin.” The lowest ranked country was the United Arab Emirates, which is surprising as around 80 per cent of the whole population comprises of expatriates. Most of these are poorly paid labourers who are unlikely to be eligible for HSBC’s survey. India finished second bottom. Danish expat Pia Mollback-Verbic said the country “is simply a minefield of relentless mental, emotional and practical daily challenges for most non-Indians.”

Questions

1. Would you like to live in another country?

2. What’s our country like for foreigners to live in?

3. What is a comfortable lifestyle?

4. How comfortable is your lifestyle?

5. Do you think it’s important to make friends with the local people if you live in another country?

6. Do you think you’re good / would be good at fitting in with other cultures?

7. Can you understand why the top country in the survey was New Zealand?

8. How do you think the UAE could rank so lowly if most of the population is expatriate?

Topic2. Cockpit

 Airlines across the world have begun putting in place requirements for two crew members to always be present in the cockpit. The new measures come in the wake of the Germanwings crash in the French Alps on Tuesday in which 150 people died. The swift response from airlines is because of the news that the co-pilot of the Germanwings flight had deliberately crashed the plane. Reports are that he locked the pilot out of the cockpit and set the aircraft on a collision course with a mountain. Britain's Monarch Airlines said having two pilots ever-present in the cockpit would now be mandatory on all its flights. Cabin crew will also regularly enter the flight deck during the flight to check on the pilots.

Airlines are also considering revamping their screening procedures to assess the mental health of pilots. There is speculation in the media that the Germanwings co-pilot was depressed. He had to stop his training seven years ago because he was suffering from depression and 'burnout'. His boss said the co-pilot had taken several months off work and had to retrain to join the company, but insisted he was "100 per cent fit to fly". News is also emerging of the final moments of Flight 9525. The pilot sensed something was wrong after he had gone to the toilet and realised he was locked out of the cockpit. There was "absolute silence" in the cockpit as the co-pilot steered the plane into the mountain.

Questions

1. How difficult do you think it is to fly a plane?

2. Should there always be two crew members in the cockpit?

3. How safe do you think air travel is?

4. What extra safety features should airplanes have?

5. What are the best and worst things about flying?

6. What do you worry about when you fly?

7. What do you think about remote-control, pilotless planes?

8. What's the best airline in the world, and why?

9. How do you feel when you see news of an air crash?

우리반을 처음 찾으시는 분들을 위한 안내의 글입니다. 

 초중급반이란?

   - 마이존엔 초급과 중급이 나뉘어져 open class로 운영되고 있습니다.(정원제가 아니라는 뜻입니다^^)

     그러나, 별다른 인터뷰도 없고 오로지 본인의 판단만으로 반을 결정해야 하는 문제점이 있네요..

     초급과 중급사이에서 모호함을 느끼는 분들~은 초중급반에서 부터 마이존 경험을 시작해 보세요.

     색다른 즐거움과 motivation이 기다리고 있습니다.

    우리반은 매주 신입멤버를 모집합니다.

     9;00~9;50  Conversation  2

     9;50~10;00 wrap up the study

      스터디가 끝난 후엔 친목도모 혹은 허기를 달래고자 하는 목적으로 거의 매주 개더링이 이뤄집니다.

           한시간 남짓한 시간이 가져다 주는 활력과 즐거움을 이루 표현할 수가 없네요 ㅎㅎ
