The word whisky comes from the Scottish Gaelic word "uisge". But it's meaning is very surprising!
I also look at the origin of the word vodka.

How can you use critical thinking more? Listen to the podcast to find some tips.

-------------------------

In English exams like the IELTS test, there are speaking or writing questions that require critical thinking skills. If you feel weak in this area, you’re not alone. Many people do. The reason is that critical thinking is challenging, and this isn’t helped by the fact that not all education systems or schools focus the same energy on developing such skills. So what does it mean to think critically, and how can you do it more often?

***What is critical thinking?***

There are many different aspects to critical thinking. It may be about using your knowledge to predict what consequences different actions will have. It may be about looking at information and then forming opinions or reaching conclusions. It may also be about understanding when some important information is missing, and being able to gather the extra information that you need. In your work life or student life, these skills are vital for finding solutions to problems. If you have them and can present your analyses to other people effectively, you will be a valued member of any forward-thinking team.

If you want to work on your critical thinking with a qualified, experienced teacher, and to practise applying it when speaking or writing, please get in contact with me or book a class.

My English is poor” - Breaking Free: Step 3 (Episode 396)

Unlock Your Potential: The Essential Element for Confident Communication

Welcome to episode three of our series on transforming the belief “My English is poor.” Today, we’re going a step further.

My goal is to open up a world of possibilities, helping you imagine the difference a new perspective on your English can make.

How will your feelings shift? How will you perceive the world differently? How will your experiences change?

This is an essential step in developing a powerful, resilient belief – a bulletproof vessel against negativity – creating a structure that makes you more confident and assured.

If you’re finding this difficult, consider my VIP training. It’s designed to save you a great deal on continued learning costs, because without a shift in your core beliefs, a level of underlying dissatisfaction in yourself and in your English will always remain.

Behavioral interview questions are a strategic tool used to assess a candidate's fit for a role.  The core principle is that past behavior is a strong predictor of future actions. By prompting candidates to share specific examples (often following the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result), interviewers gain valuable insights into a candidate's:

Skills: Behavioral questions can target specific skills listed in the job description. For instance, "Tell me about a time you had to solve a complex problem with limited resources."

Decision-Making: These questions uncover a candidate's thought process under pressure. An example could be, "Describe a situation where you had to make a difficult decision with incomplete information."

Communication: Exploring past communication challenges reveals a candidate's ability to articulate ideas and navigate conflict. For example, "Tell me about a time you disagreed with a colleague's approach. How did you communicate your perspective?"

Behavioral interviewing helps identify:

Problem-Solving Approach: By asking about past challenges, insight is gained into the candidate's problem-solving methodology.

Work Style: Understanding how a candidate tackled past situations sheds light on their preferred work style (independent, collaborative, etc.).

Company Culture Fit: These questions reveal a candidate's values and work ethic, allowing for an assessment of their alignment with the company culture.

Benefits:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding a candidate's past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success in the role.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more complete picture of the candidate.
