Esta es una semana en la que hay que hacer ejercicios de contención para que el ego no se suba por las nubes. Estoy recibiendo muy buenas noticias de estudiantes con los que estuve trabajando en su preparación del DELE durante la convocatoria de mayo y la verdad, es que todo han sido buenas o muy buenas noticias. 

Además, los estudiantes de fonética, sin excepción, están consiguiendo no solo mejorar la fonética, sino también aprender a monitorizarse y auto-corregirse logrando mejoras en la pronunciación ¡y en la autoestima!
Déjame añadir que no hay día que no reciba algún comentario post-clase que me “ponga por las nubes” y que casi me haga olvidar un pequeño gran detalle: Yo solo soy una guía... una brújula. El profesor eres tú.

Poner el grito en el cielo

Governments across the world are busy encouraging people to buy electric vehicles (EVs) as countries try to meet climate targets.

In some places, customers have been given incentives to buy EVs, making them cheaper than oil-powered cars at the showroom.

But drivers have been wondering whether new EVs will hold their value over time.

It's a topic that has received a lot of attention online. A number of different sites report that in many markets the prices of secondhand EVs are depreciating faster than the prices of oil-powered cars.

Depreciation is to be expected with all vehicles. As soon as a new car is driven away from the showroom, it loses some of its value.

But aging EVs are a little different to aging oil-powered cars — they come with a unique set of challenges.

In the first half of 2023, Car Dealer magazine reported that 29 of the top 30 biggest depreciating used cars were EVs.

The EV market is growing all the time, and while a few years ago there was not enough supply to meet customer demand, that's no longer the case.

Previously, customers looking for an EV might have settled for a used vehicle, but they don't have to anymore.

New models may also promise newer battery technology or longer battery life, causing people to choose a new vehicle over an older one. Perhaps they are also encouraged by those generous government incentives to buy new.

But it might not be all bad news for EV owners who are looking to sell their used vehicles. Writing for Euronews, Geraldine Herbert argues that increased public confidence in EVs will help slow depreciation rates, because people will feel more comfortable buying older vehicles.

In the next few years, the EV market will keep growing as countries end sales of new oil-powered cars, and according to Herbert this means that more EVs will keep more of their value over time.

IELTS speaking: true or false?

I am setting the stage by allowing you to choose which 'frame of mind' you will go with before your IELTS speaking test—listen to the mind conditioning ideas to help you ace your state.

Certain states of your mind influence you negatively or positively. You have the keys; you can now use them wisely!

Next we are onto the Part 2 question: Describe something you bought that was difficult to use at first, and I am using it as an example of how you can change your answers and enhance your performance as a result.

Take you, for example. Did you have any ideas of what to talk about when it came to this question?

My student didn't, nor may you, but my goal for you guys is to develop tools and strategies that will help you succeed in the test!

Listen to the podcast and BE JOYOUS OUT OF YOUR SKULLS.
