Hej, z tej strony Anka, a to jest kolejny odcinek podcastu Polish is fun. Dzisiaj opowiem wam o mojej dzielnicy 🙂

A gdzie ty mieszkasz? W dużym mieście, czy  w miasteczku, a może na wsi?

Proszę napisz do mnie, jeśli chciałbyś/chcialabyś transkrypcję do tego podcastu.
Dziękuję  i do usłyszenia!

Polish is fun with Anka

Moja dzielnica

在附近的宇宙中，还有 325、326、327、328、329、330 等几颗小行星。
He found himself in the neighborhood of the asteroids 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330.
他就开始访问这几颗星球，想在那里找点事干，并且学习学习。
He began, therefore, by visiting them, in order to add to his knowledge.
第一颗星球上住着一个国王。
The first of them was inhabited by a king.
国王穿着用紫红色和白底黑花的毛皮做成的大礼服，坐在一个很简单却又十分威严的宝座上。
Clad in royal purple and ermine,he was seated upon a throne which was at the same time both simple and majestic.
当他看见小王子时，喊了起来：“啊，来了一个臣民。”
"Ah! Here is a subject," exclaimed the king, when he saw the little prince coming.
小王子思量着：“他从来也没有见过我，怎么会认识我呢？”
And the little prince asked himself: "How could he recognize me when he had never seen me before?"
他哪里知道，在那些国王的眼里，世界是非常简单的：所有的人都是臣民。
He did not know how the world is simplified for kings. To them, all men are subjects.
国王十分骄傲，因为他终于成了某个人的国王，他对小王子说道：“靠近些，好让我好好看看你。”
"Approach, so that I may see you better," said the king, who felt consumingly proud of being at last a king over somebody.
小王子看看四周，想找个地方坐下来，
The little prince looked everywhere to find a place to sit down;
可是整个星球被国王华丽的白底黑花皮袍占满了。

but the entire planet was crammed and obstructed by the king's magnificent ermine robe.
他只好站在那里，但是因为疲倦了，他打起哈欠来。
So he remained standing upright, and, since he was tired, he yawned.
君王对他说：“在一个国王面前打哈欠是违反礼节的。我禁止你打哈欠。”
"It is contrary to etiquette to yawn in the presence of a king," the monarch said to him. "I forbid you to do so."
小王子羞愧地说道：“我实在忍不住，”
"I can't help it. I can't stop myself," replied the little prince, thoroughly embarrassed.
我长途跋涉来到这里，还没有睡觉呢。
I have come on a long journey, and I have had no sleep...
国王说：“那好吧，我命令你打哈欠。
"Ah, then," the king said. "I order you to yawn.
好些年来我没有看见过任何人打哈欠。
It is years since I have seen anyone yawning.
对我来说，打哈欠倒是新奇的事。
Yawns, to me, are objects of curiosity.
来吧，再打个哈欠！这是命令。
Come, now! Yawn again! It is an order.

Episode 141 - How to Build a Portfolio & Personal Brand

If you’ve listened to my previous podcasts, you’ll know that want to score a band score 7 in your IELTS Speaking exam, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions.

We all know the idiom ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’ because this is a common idiom. But what are some less common idioms?

This podcast will give you 3 more idioms for you to learn, which you can use in your IELTS Speaking exam.

Preparing for exams can be a double-edged sword. This is because examiners don’t want you to memorise and repeat your answers from memory. However, using idioms can get you a higher band score. So how do we balance this? Idioms have to be memorised, because they have to be spoken exactly. We cannot change them. For example, you cannot say ‘my parents punched the roof’, you have to say my parents ‘hit the roof.’

Another tip for using idioms is not to put all your eggs in one basket. Make sure you are armed with a variety of different idioms in your memory bank. If you only know one idiom, for example ‘think outside the box’ you have to hope your part 2 speaking exam is a suitable topic for the idiom.

You can, of course, use idioms in parts  1 and 3, but part 2 is the easiest place to slot in a few idioms, because you have 1 minute to prepare.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me, so you can practise using idioms, and get the band score you are aiming for.

Is Your Introduction Repelling Your Dream Job? Stop Begging and Start COMMANDING Attention!

Let’s be blunt: Your introduction is either a powerful weapon or a pathetic weakness. Are you sounding like a timid pushover, or a confident COMPETITION CRUSHER who’s about to steal the show?

Truth is, most job seekers are UTTERLY FORGETTABLE. They drone on with the same tired clichés, blending into the background like wallpaper.

What makes YOU different? What makes the hiring manager absolutely OBSESSED with having you on their team?

If you can’t answer that, you’re DEAD IN THE WATER.

This isn’t about “looking professional.” It’s about projecting POWER, AUTHORITY, and undeniable VALUE that leaves the competition in the dust.

In this recording, I’ll hand you the exact phrases you need to inject into your system NOW to transform your introduction into a high-impact sales pitch.

LISTEN UP: This isn’t for the faint of heart. This is about crafting an introduction that DEMANDS attention, builds instant rapport, and leaves the hiring manager begging you to accept the job.

Listen, drill these phrases, and build your own arsenal of words. Because in today’s cutthroat job market, you either DOMINATE or you DISAPPEAR.

Time to stop sounding like everyone else and start projecting the UNSTOPPABLE force you really are.

Are you ready to finally make the hiring person fall in love with you, or are you going to let another opportunity slip through your fingers? The choice is yours.

But let’s face it, you are here, because you want to win it all. No participation trophies, no second place…

Are you ready to have more people want to hire you?

(P.S. This recording is NOT for those who are satisfied with mediocrity. If you’re looking for fluff, go somewhere else. This is for serious action-takers who are ready to DOMINATE.)
