Friday's Assignment

Abigail: It’s a  memo about a safety inspection scheduled for next week. 

Lon: A safety inspection? How are we ever going to pass a safety inspection? 

Abigail: What do you mean? This isn’t an unsafe workplace. We’ve had a good record. None of our employees have had on the job injuries this year and we’ve never had a   fatalityI don’t understand why you’re so worried. 

Lon: From what I’ve heard, the inspectors don’t just look at injury rates. They look for the smallest hazard that may be remotely dangerous  If we get cited, we may be shut down 

Abigail:With all due respect, I don’t think that’s how it works. Yes, the inspector will look at our work environment and our gear  and machinery to make sure there are no hazards or toxic substances. 

Lon: That’s what I’m worried about. 

Abigail: But, if they find a violation , we’ll get a chance to fix the problem. They won’t shut us down without giving us a chance to comply with their safety standards.

my mother has influenced my life.

  Every person has some role model who can be a source of inspiration for him. Today, I would like to confess that my source of inspiration has been My Mother. She has a tremendous personality. The way she handles situations with peaceful is her love to us. I am grateful to have such a mother who taught me manners and the way to effusively deal with this critical world. Moreover, she has a graceful personality with resplendent features. she has amiable nature and is gregarious just like mother-fairy. I am really happy  to have such mother who has adjusted herself in every rise and fall of life and has compromised to give her children a standardized living style. 

   My mother has been always there when I need a anyone the most. She has been my guardian and my caretaker. She has tried to keep her family united and avoided being hostile to anyone. She never discriminated between her children. My mother was the one who never slept at night knowing her daughter was in pain. She taught me how to talk, how to walk and how to carry on with life. She was the only one who brought e up, told me the difference between good and bad and the fact of facing bitter realities of life. My mother, for me, is an angel sent from heaven. So my mom is my greatestest source of inspiration. 

I love her forever.....

The weather in Iran and in Canada

Iran has regions with different temperatures even at a specific period of time. Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but in reality, its climate is as diverse as its landscape.

Iran has a hot, dry climate characterized by long, hot, dry summers,  and short, cool winters.

Iran Being situated inside a dry belt of the globe and because of the check imposed by the Alborz Mountain and Zagros mountain ranges the plateau has a dry desert peculiarity. Winter temperatures often fall below freezing especially in the mountains, while summers are usually hot. In the northern coastal areas of the Caspian Sea climate is mild and humid. The southern parts and the Persian Gulf region have rather a hot and humid weather with pleasant winters. Therefore, because of these climatic diversities one can enjoy from winter sports while at the same time within a few hours of travel it is possible to swim in the warm waters of the Persian Gulf.

In Canada Summers can be hot and dry on the prairies, humid in central Canada, and milder. Spring is generally pleasant across the country. Autumns are often crisp and cool, but brightened by rich orange and red leaves on trees. Winters are generally cold with periods of snow.

Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures are the norm in spring and fall.

10 most annoying gestures during a job interview.

• Not making eye contact, but make sure you keep eye contact; it's said that the most annoying thing for an interviewer is when interviewees look around everywhere, but fail to make eye contact.
• A weak handshake. You want the job, right? Then show that by putting all your energy into that handshake. Not too hard though, you don't want to pull their arm out of their socket!
• Not asking questions at the end. It's almost guaranteed that at the end of the interview you'll be asked if you have any questions; always have some prepared. An interview is a two way process and the interviewer loves answering your questions, it's their job, make sure you use them!
• Talking too much or too little. You have to keep a balance in between; they are not counting how many words are coming out of your mouth, but just make sure it's a sensible amount.
• Criticising your old boss. This gives a very bad first impression, something you don't want! Also, your old boss might know the interviewer, then you'll definitely be in trouble.
• Turning up late without letting them know. Your car has broken down, fair enough, you must make sure you've picked up the phone and given them a call to let them know you'll be a bit late.
• Leaving your phone on loud. Make sure your phone is either switched off or on silent!
• If you are actually sick, reschedule the interview; don't turn up and give the interviewer a cold!
• Never turn up to an interview drunk or hungover. Common sense really.
• Don't play with your phone or anything else under the table! Keep your hands on the table, occasionally moving them for gestures, etc.

one of the traditional food is kookoo

KooKoo is a persian food. Iranians make many different types of kookoos with a variety of flavorings. It is a frequently vegetarian dish, made with eggs which then are folded in with various ingredients. it cooks for a shorter amount of time, over a low heat, before turned over or grilled briefly to set the top layer. For the typical kuku-ye sabzi recipe, the eggs and herbs are mixed and seasoned with salt, black pepper,sometime barberries, sometimes baking powder and turmeric.

the mixture is then poured into a preheated oiled pan, covered and cooked over low heat until set, Some cooks saute the herbs briefly before adding the eggs. The amount of herb ingredients usually greatly exceeds the amount of eggs, which merely serve to hold the kookoo together, making the predominant flavor that of the herbs rather than that of a typical "egg omelette. and barberries are a favorite garnish for on top. It is often sliced and served hot or cold with bread or rice, Kuku can be a main dish or an appetizer. we use kookoo as traditional meal consumed for nuroz.

culture shock

Culture shock is the personal confusing and many feel unfamiliar due immigration or a visit a new country, a move between social environments, or simply travel to another type of life. Some of the most common causes of culture shock in a foreign country is; Honeymoon, emptiness, acceptance.

Honeymoon; during this period, the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic way. For example, in moving to a new country, usually might love the new food and the locals' habits. During the first few weeks, most people are happy by the new culture. Like most honeymoon periods, this stage eventually ends.

Emptiness; After some time usually around three or four months, differences between the old and new culture become very clear and may create anxiety. Language, stark differences in public hygiene, traffic safety, food accessibility and quality of life, now a day I am exactly in this situation and always I compare my situation in may own  country and Canada.

Acceptance; slow by slow people are beginning to accept the situation of themselves, I think acceptance of the new culture is not so easy for me.

fit in

1.Fifteen years ago she said that she felt she didn't fit in anywhere in the industry.

Dear Mina

I want to explain Canadian work culture in Canada; One of the most exciting and interesting parts about working in Canada, is that you are likely to work with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Although diversity is respected and encouraged in Canada.

Canadian’s are very team worker in the workplace, and you will often see “teamwork” as a desired skill in job postings. How to demonstrate teamwork in the workplace:

They treat everyone with respect - Greet someone working in an entry level position with the same courtesy and enthusiasm as you would an Executive Director.

Show interest in people’s work, interests and achievements

Offer support when you see a coworker under stress or falling behind. This demonstrates teamwork, and the person might return the help when you need it down the road!

Every workplace will have really different expectations and policies regarding clothing.In general, when you start anew job, it is best to dress more formally and conservatively that you think is necessary while you learn more about the workplace culture and expectations.
