       猫妈妈带着小猫在河边钓鱼。一会儿，一只蜻蜓飞过来，小猫就去捉蜻蜓。一会儿，一只蝴蝶飞过来，小猫又去捉蝴蝶，结果什么都没有捉到，也没有钓到鱼。这时，猫妈妈已经钓到好几条大鱼了。小猫生气地说:“我怎么钓不到鱼呢?“ 妈妈说：“你一会儿捉蜻蜓，一会儿捉蝴蝶，三心二意，怎么能钓到鱼呢?”
       小猫听了妈妈的话，就专心地钓鱼了。不一会儿，小猫也钓到了一条大鱼，她和妈妈都笑了。

C(40) Verbs Set : Hope Hover Howl Hug Hunt

In today's fast-paced business world, the pressure to deliver is constant. Emails ping incessantly, meetings fill calendars, and impromptu conversations become the norm.  Yet, amidst this whirlwind, a crucial element often gets sidelined: preparation.  Think about it – wouldn't a perfectly executed presentation or a flawlessly delivered pitch be infinitely more effective than a last-minute scramble?

The truth is, effective communication in business is rarely spontaneous.  It's a carefully crafted strategy, and the cornerstone of that strategy is pre-communication planning.  Just as athletes train before a competition, successful business professionals invest time in readying themselves for critical communication moments.

The Power of Preparation in Action:

Consider the scenario: You have a critical meeting with a potential investor.  By investing time in pre-communication planning, you've:

Researched their investment portfolio: You can tailor your pitch to align with their specific interests.
Developed a clear, concise presentation: You highlight the problem your business solves and the value proposition.
Anticipated potential questions: You have well-rehearsed responses that address any investment concerns.
The result? A confident, compelling presentation that positions your business for success.

Investing in Pre-Communication Planning:

Pre-communication planning isn't just about efficiency; it's about maximizing impact and minimizing missteps.  By dedicating time to prepare, you'll project confidence, inspire trust, and ultimately achieve your communication goals.  Remember, in the business world, first impressions matter – so make yours count with the power of preparation.

Welcome my friends to another episode of the Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host Carl and Italki American English tutor. So today I want to talk to you about… This is the last day of January of the New Year 2023. And I just had a problem this morning. I was trying to download some software, I was trying to install software on my computer and I ran out of internal storage. And so I had my computer failed to install the software. And, I wanted to make the analogy of the human brain. And the computer. So a lot of times we feel stressed out and we have lots of things going on. In our mind our mind is completely full, feels like it's running without any extra storage space.
