Day 02. "비 오는 날, 우산 속 조용한 위로"

Transcripción:
Mi forma de aprender es kinestésica y tengo un gran superpoder procesar de manera profunda todo lo que perciben mis sentidos. Todo esto hace que tenga necesidades muy particulares y que lo convencional habitualmente no sea atractivo para mi. Estas características me exigen explorar nuevas formas de hacer las cosas y en lo referente a aprender un idioma he descubierto que necesito de mucha interacción humana, involucrarme en actividades de mi interés y que el aprendizaje sea práctico y se sienta ligero.

Common mistakes made by English Language Learners: Part 2 - "The" a definite way to remeber how to use this definite article.

Idioms are a crucial aspect of the IELTS speaking test as they can help you demonstrate a higher level of English proficiency. Using idioms shows that you have a good grasp of the language and can express yourself in a more natural and nuanced way. In part 3 of the speaking test, where you engage in a discussion with the examiner, incorporating idioms can make your responses more engaging and memorable.

For example, instead of saying "I think it's important to consider both sides of the argument," you could use the idiom "to see both sides of the coin." This not only adds variety to your language but also showcases your ability to use idiomatic expressions appropriately.

Another example could be using the idiom "to kill two birds with one stone" when discussing the benefits of multitasking in the workplace. This not only demonstrates your fluency in English but also adds a touch of creativity to your responses.

Overall, incorporating idioms in your IELTS speaking test can help you stand out and impress the examiners. So, don't be afraid to sprinkle some idiomatic expressions throughout your responses!

Active vs. Passive in English

A businessman in China has announced that his workers can take days off if they're not in a good mood.

It has been called "unhappiness leave." And Yu Donglai, who is the founder of a supermarket chain called Pang Dong Lai, said his employees can use 10 days of this leave each year.

"I want every staff member to have freedom. Everyone has times when they're not happy, so if you're not happy, do not come to work," Yu said earlier this year.

He added that shop managers cannot deny workers this leave if they ask for it.

This leave is in addition to the days off that the company's employees already have.

According to the South China Morning Post, Pang Dong Lai workers get between 30 and 40 days of leave each year, as well as five days off during New Year. Their working days are seven hours long, and employees don't work on weekends.

Yu said of his company: "We do not want to be big. We want our employees to have a healthy and relaxed life, so that the company will too."

The average monthly salary at Pang Dong Lai is about $970, which is much higher than the average in China for workers in similar jobs.

Yu has 13 shops in Henan province, and they have become known for their customer service. He's known as a good boss in a country where many workers are said to be feeling burned out at work.
