みなさんこんにちは! 前回のエピソードではブリュッセルの好きなところをお話ししたので今回はブリュッセルの嫌いなところをお話しします。
一つ目は、治安があまりよくないところです。ブリュッセルではスリや盗難がたまにあります。特に観光地や電車の中では、持ち物に気をつけなければいけません。
二つ目は、物価が高いところです。特にレストランや外食は、日本と比べるととても高く感じます。そのため、外食は特別な日にだけにすることが多いです。
三つ目は、天気が悪いところです。ブリュッセルではくもりや雨の日が多く、冬は日が短いので、少し悲しい気持ちになることもあります。でも、そんなときはおいしいケーキや温かい飲み物で元気を出すようにしています。
こんなふうに、ブリュッセルには好きなところも嫌いなところもありますが、どちらも含めて楽しく暮らしています。みなさんも、もしブリュッセルに来ることがあったら、ぜひ私の好きなところを体験してみてくださいね。
それでは、また次のエピソードでお会いしましょう！

Have you ever wondered how Business English students acquire the language skills necessary to excel in the professional realm? As an enthusiastic educator, my goal is to equip these students with the tools they need to thrive in the business world. In my classroom, I immerse them in industry-specific vocabulary, exploring diverse sectors like technology, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. By delving into functional areas such as marketing, finance, and human resources, we unravel the language used in different business roles. Additionally, we navigate the terminology associated with vital business processes like supply chain management and customer service. Through engaging discussions, practical activities, and contextual application, I empower my students to confidently communicate with colleagues, clients, and partners, ensuring their success in the competitive professional landscape. Together, we embark on a journey of language acquisition, enabling them to make a lasting impact in the business world

因此，善于用兵打仗的人，不依靠战场厮杀而让敌人的军队降服，不依靠强攻来夺取敌人的城池，能消灭敌国而不必进行旷日持久的征战。他们用“全胜”的策略，既能不使国力、兵力受挫，又能获得全面胜利。这正是以谋略克敌制胜的法则。
 所以，在实际作战中的战术方法是：我方的兵力十倍于敌军时，就实施围歼；我方的兵力五倍于敌军时，便发起猛攻；我方的兵力两倍于敌军时，就要设法将敌军分散，各个击破；敌我双方的兵力相当时，可以与敌军对抗；我方兵力比敌军少时，就要设法摆脱敌军；我方的实力不如敌军时，就要尽量避免与其交战。因为，弱小的一方如果死拼固守，就必然会被实力强大的对方所击败制服。

English Conversation/Dialogue

Job Interview

Are you keeping going back and forth in your IELTS speaking?

Have you found yourself saying the same thing over and over again when you answer various part 1, 2, or 3 questions of the IELTS??

Students are too eager to try to be perfect, and with this perfectionism, they get stuck on being dissatisfied with what they are saying (almost always!). Have you had that?

In this podcast, I go over one element that can make a huge difference in your performance if corrected. 

You may feel enlightened just by noticing it and becoming aware of it, and once corrected, the rewards might surprise you.

Jump into the recording, improve yourself there, and check my availability if you are preparing for any kind of interview or English-speaking engagement ahead of you.

I've helped thousands of people succeed in the spoken English arena; I can do the same for you.
