想念的地图

假如想念是一张地图，打开思念的地图，你也许会发现，不管这张地图有多么复杂，想念的起点也是终点。小孩子想念的是亲人，长大了，想念的是恋人，后来，想念的对象又变成了亲人。人生最初的想念和最后的想念几乎是一样的，无论我们走多远，也是殊途同归。

想念一个人到底是什么滋味？如果可以不要想念一个人，是不是会比较自由？想念一旦展开，我们都是不自由的。当我老了，当一切都结束，远方不再有想念，那时候我会感受到能够想念一个人，也被人想念，这张地图是漂亮的。

学习重点：殊途同归

Meetings can be intimidating for a lot of people, even to native speakers! 
Especially if you’re meeting with people who you don’t know very well, if at all. Today we’re going to look at a few pieces of vocabulary that you might hear in meetings and that you might be able to use yourself. At the end we also have our 'big discussion question'.

You can find the vocabulary from this podcast in the vocabulary sets on my profile. I hope you enjoy today's podcast and I look forward to meeting you on a call very soon!

How many times have you been trapped in a boring presentation? How many times have you given a boring presentation? And why are so many presentations boring by the way?

Most people have a deep fear of giving presentations. A negative mindset, coupled with little preparation time, results in boring presentations.

However, when you learn to see the opportunities associated with giving presentations and learn how to prepare for them, you will be able to influence people, share ideas you are excited about, and motivate others.

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn how to develop a positive mindset, plan, structure, prepare, and deliver an effective presentation. Your audience will not fidget anxiously or scan their phones from boredom, but be attentive from start to finish. Specifically, you'll discover six steps for creating a high-quality presentation that resonates with your listeners.

At the end of the episode, you'll learn definitions for English idioms and phrases.
