#11 Trip to Taipei // N5 Level

¡ Al fin en el hotel ! Ayer por la noche he llegado a la ciudad de Guayaquil de Ecuador. El hotel está a pocos minutos del Malecón 2000 . Hace dos meses que he hecho la reserva. ¡Y estoy encantada! Mi habitación es de tamaño grande. Tiene mucha luz y unos grandes ventanales. Tengo un baño muy lindo  y una gran caja fuerte. Lamentablemente la cama no es muy cómoda , pero el televisor me fascina . Los empleados del hotel son muy simpáticos y amables . Me ha atendido una recepcionista que sabía hablar muy bien Inglés. ¡Qué suerte tengo ! 
Me gusta mucho la ciudad. El centro de Guayaquil es realmente bonito y aquí la gente es muy agradable. Hay un restaurante de comida típica muy rico y barato  cerca de mi hotel. 
 El hotel es un poco  antiguo, pero está muy bien conservado. Sin embargo, hay mucho ruido por las noches . Continuamente escucho música y las bocinas  de los autos . Esta primera noche no he podido dormir muy bien, pero la  recepcionista del hotel me ha dicho que mañana me cambiará de habitación para que no me moleste el ruido . Ha sido muy atenta.

In the world of business, persuasion reigns supreme. It's not just about slick sales pitches; it's about influencing others to see your point of view, be it a client considering your product, a colleague on a new strategy, or an investor on your venture.

The core of persuasion lies in understanding your audience.  What are their needs, wants, and potential objections? By tailoring your message to address these concerns, you build trust and credibility.  Facts and figures are powerful, but framing them in a way that resonates with your audience is key.  Highlight how your product solves their pain points or your idea benefits their goals.

Different audiences respond to different persuasive tactics.  For analytical thinkers, data and research hold weight.  Emotional connectors, on the other hand, respond better to stories and testimonials that paint a vivid picture of the positive impact.

Remember, persuasion is a two-way street. Listen attentively to your audience's perspective. Acknowledge their concerns and address them directly.  This fosters a collaborative environment where they feel heard and respected, making them more receptive to your ideas.

Effective persuasion goes beyond mere words.  It's about non-verbal cues too. Confident body language, strong eye contact, and an enthusiastic tone project conviction and inspire trust.

Finally, persuasion is an ongoing process.  Be prepared to answer questions and provide additional information.  The goal is not to pressure, but to guide your audience towards a win-win situation.

By mastering the art of persuasion, you can become a powerful advocate for your ideas, your business, and yourself.

CHISTES MEXICANOS

arrator: Elvis Presley was born to a very poor family in Mississippi in the south of the United States in 1935. His twin brother died at birth, and he was an only child. The family moved to Memphis, Tennessee thirteen years later. As a teenager, Elvis was interested in all kinds of music and wore colorful clothes with a distinctive hairstyle that he kept for much of his life.
Narrator: In 1954, Sam Phillips, a music producer at Sun Records in Memphis, asked Elvis to come in for an audition. When he played a song that he had composed himself, Phillips recognized the young man’s talent. He offered Elvis a contract and put together a three-piece band for him. They played blues and country music that they knew from the radio, night clubs and churches with both black and white members. The band had a big hit later that year with a cover of a song by Arthur Crudup called, “That’s All Right,” using a style called rockabilly. Their popularity took off in the southern states as people saw them perform in local venues and even heard them on national radio programs.
Narrator: In 1956, Elvis met Colonel Tom Parker, who became his manager and organized a contract with RCA Records in New York. As the hits kept on coming, he changed over to a more rock and roll sound and performed in numerous TV shows and in films.
Narrator: However, in 1958, Elvis was drafted into the army and gave up performing for a couple of years. When he finished his military service, he returned to his music career and during the 1960s he made more than thirty movies and recorded lots of songs. He also married and had a daughter.
Narrator: In 1968, Elvis performed in a Christmas TV special, which boosted his popularity for a while. Between 1969 and 1976, he also put on hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, with tickets regularly selling out. However, in the 1970s, his career started to go downhill, partly because of his lifestyle. He was living in Graceland, a mansion in Memphis that he had bought in 1957.
