Hi! I’m Sanne (you can also call me Sanny), and I am looking for an English-speaking friend to chat with regularly to improve my English. I would like to meet online via Zoom or Skype for about 30–60 minutes once a week. I enjoy talking about music, animation, travel, psychology, and creative projects, and I will make sure to practice speaking naturally in English while sharing my own language and culture. If this sounds like what you are looking for, please send me a message so we can arrange a time to talk. Let me know if you are interested!

Today was a busy day, and I feel a little tired now. In the morning, I went to the dentist. I do not like going there, because the sound and the smell make me nervous. The treatment was not very painful, but I felt stressed the whole time. When it was finished, I felt relieved. I was happy that I did not need to worry about it anymore. After that, I went to an eyebrow salon. It was quiet and clean inside. I lay down and closed my eyes while the staff worked. It was relaxing, and I almost fell asleep. When I looked at my face in the mirror, my eyebrows looked neat. My face looked better than before, and it made me feel more confident. In the evening, I started to feel strange. My body felt hot, and my head hurt. I checked my temperature and found that I had a fever. I was surprised because I felt fine earlier. I think my body got tired after a long day. I decided to stay home, drink water, and take some medicine. Today was not perfect, but I learned that I need to rest more and listen to my body. I hope I will feel better tomorrow.

"Ding!" I received a message from the airline that told me that my flight was cancelled due to some unknown reasons. This was an actual thing happened during my summer trip. Before the trip, I made a perfect plan for the next several days. All the schedules really depended on all the plans before it went well. After everything was ready, I got started my trip. Before my fight would take up, I received the message mentioned above. I felt really sad! I just chose a budget airline to save some money to book better hotels and have tasty food. I even accepted the fact that the airline wouldn't offer lunch , but I never expected the flight would be cancelled. In that case, the only thing I could do is to spend much more money to book another airline which could take off on time. Fortunately, the rest of the trip made me fell really relaxed until the night befor returning. When I woke up to drink some water, I checked a notification on my phone that said my train was cancelled. Oh, I didn't care at that moment. I spent more money booking a flight, then fell asleep again. Though it's a great trip, I exceeded the budget a lot !

Stop saying "I don't know" in your meetings 💼 In a high-stakes meeting or presentation, saying "I don't know" can sometimes feel like you’re losing momentum. To sound more professional and maintain control, try these "Career Advancement" alternatives: 1️⃣ When you need to check the facts: • "I don’t have those specific figures / that information to hand, but I will get back to you by end of day." 2️⃣ When you want to provide a partial answer: • "Based on the data I have right now, [X] is the case, but let me verify the final details for you." 3️⃣ When the question is outside your scope: • "That’s a great question. [Name] is actually the best person to speak on that, but from my perspective..." The Goal: You aren't just giving an answer; you are managing the conversation. This is the difference between "textbook English" and Boardroom Fluency. ________________________________________ 🟢▶︎▶︎ Want to master the language of leadership?
