Can you improve your speaking in one minute? 

Certainly not, however, if you do it daily for the duration of 90 days (not 21day) but 90, you'll get great at 

a) expressing your thoughts
b) will ad various vocabulary which may or may not be relevant
c) you'll develop new neural pathways in your brain that will set forth new patterns of behaviour making you more special in your unique way.

Give it a try, help yourself, there is no one else to do it but you, right?

If not now then when, If not me then who?

Enjoy it and come over to be trained by me personally. I help adults to improve their confidence and get my students learn to (THINK) in English, not to learn the language itself!

Transport company Uber has announced a new service that could make it cheaper for people in the US to travel to and from the airport and other popular places.

It's called Uber Shuttle — and it's really just a bus service offered by the company.

"Whether you're a traveler, sports fan, or concertgoer, get ready because Uber Shuttle is arriving soon," said Uber's Anthony le Roux when the news was announced in the middle of May.

Uber users will be able to book up to five seats on a shuttle service to big events and airports from a central place.

It might be useful if you're at a big, out-of-town concert and there aren't enough regular Ubers or taxis, for example.

Uber's shuttles will have between 14 and 55 seats, and people will be able to book up to a week before they travel.

The company says the cost of the shuttle will be "a fraction" of the price of a regular Uber.

In one example Uber gave during the announcement, the price of the shuttle was about one-third of the price of a regular Uber.

The shuttle, which has previously been tested in India, will be available in some US cities this summer to help people travel to and from events.

As for airports, Uber has not yet said which ones the shuttle will be available at.

When it is available, users will see the shuttle as an option in their apps, and they'll be able to rate and tip shuttle drivers just like regular Uber car drivers.
