EP.5  Where are you?

MARGARET: Mr. Wilson, I’d like you to meet 
Dr. Edward Smith.
MR. WILSON: It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.
DR. SMITH: Pleasure to meet you, too.
MARGARET: Dr. Smith is an economist. He just finished
writing a book on international trade.
MR. WILSON: Oh? That’s my field, too. I work for the 
United Nations.
DR. SMITH: In the Development Program, by any chance?
MR. WILSON: Yes. How did you guess?
DR. SMITH: I’ve read your articles on technical assistance. 
They’re excellent

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Mr. Wilson, I’d like you … Notice the rising intonation on “Mr. Wilson,” which is used 
to address someone. Listen for the “d” in “I’d like.” This means I would like, which is 
very different from I like. (“I’d like” means the same as “I would like” or “I want.”)
• Dr. Smith is an economist. Notice the stress on “economist.” This content word has 
new information, so it is emphasized. There are four syllables in “economist,” with the 
stress on the second syllable (e-CON-o-mist).
• He just finished writing … “just” means the very recent past. “Just” is usually used 
with a simple past verb because the action is complete. However, it can also be used 
with the present perfect (He’s just finished writing …).
• Development program. Since these two words make a compound noun, the main 
stress falls on “development.”
• By any chance? Means the same as “possibly.” Notice the rising intonation, which is 
used in yes/no questions to confirm that something is true.

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.
