Episode #11 - Places which I want to visit


This topic is going to be divided into 4 chapters. We are going to discuss all of these topics thoroughly, going into deep understanding of all of them. So, if you are interested-subscribe to this channel to stay informed.

Alright, let’s start from the basics. Why do we need conditionals? It’s super simple. We use them to talk about some conditions. Here are a couple of examples: We will go to the cinema, if you buy these tickets. Or vice versa ‘We won’t go to the cinema, if you don’t buy these tickets. 
There are 4 types of conditionals and today’s podcast is devoted to “zero and first conditional”.
Okay, guys. Zero conditional. We use it to talk about some facts, rules or laws.
“Snow melts, when it is hot”, “if you violate the law, you are punished”
How do we make it? Super simple. Our sentence consists of 2 parts: clause and main part, both of them are written in present simple. The clause part always contains if or when.
 Let’s take a look again.
“If you don’t work, you don’t get money”
I am about to leave you a couple of exercises in the quiz to practice.

Alright, the first conditional is about FUTURE. Yes, guys, and this is when a lot of students make mistakes. Let’s take a look at the examples.
“If you pass your exams, you will enter the university”
“If I don’t have enough delights, I will go to the supermarket to purchase them”

How do we make it?
In the main part we have Future Simple, in the clause one we, again, have present simple. 
The main mistake is when you use Future Simple instead of Present Simple. Try to remember that here, after ‘if or when” we don’t use the future. (Sometimes we do, but we’ll talk about it later)

“If I don’t exercises, I’ll never achieve a strong body”
“You will never find a good job, if you don’t look for it,”

And of course, I’ve prepared a good exercise for you to practice.

I hope it was useful, it was nice to share this info with you. Feel free to book lessons with me. Thank you and see you later!

Netflix: Big hits reverse subscriber losses

Working from home and avoiding the journey to and from the office is saving many of us at least an hour every day, according to a 2023 study.

But we're not always using that saved time for ourselves — we're actually spending a lot of that time working.

The US-based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) did a survey that looked at how workers in 27 countries used their time when working from home.

On average, the daily time saved by working from home was found to be 72 minutes.

Workers in China saved 102 minutes per day, while in Japan it was 100 minutes, and in India it was 99.

But the study also found that, on average, 40% of that saved time was spent working — either on the worker's main job or on an additional one.

Workers in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan said they used more than half of their saved time to work.

So what happened to the rest of that extra time?

According to the study, an average of 34% was used as leisure time — with people in Germany and Austria using almost half of their extra time for leisure.

And 11% — about eight minutes per day — was spent looking after children or other family members.

The NBER said children had gotten a better deal with parents working from home — but that the big winners were employers, who got extra work time from their employees.
