El mindfulness es la focalización de la atención en el momento presente, es un método para conseguir la atención plena, centrándonos en lo que está sucediendo “aquí y ahora”, aceptándolo sin más, sin intentar cambiar, ni juzgar nada. Su significado es plena consciencia.

The Adventures of Captain Underpants

Chapter 17 The Escape

Hey, how are you? I hope you are well. I'm Milo, Spanish tutor at italki, and today we are going to talk about some typical Colombian dishes. These dishes reflect the rich variety of flavors and traditions of our regions. Let's discover them!

Arepa: La arepa es uno de los platos más emblemáticos de Colombia. Hecha a base de maíz, la arepa puede ser acompañada con diferentes ingredientes como queso, carne, huevo o mantequilla. Cada región tiene su versión. Ejemplo: "En Antioquia, la arepa es más gruesa, mientras que en la Costa Caribe es más delgada."

Ajiaco: Este es un caldo típico de Bogotá. Está compuesto por pollo, papas, maíz, guasca (una hierba colombiana) y se sirve con arroz, aguacate y alcaparras. Es un plato reconfortante, ideal para días fríos. Ejemplo: "El ajiaco es un plato tradicional de la capital, Bogotá."

Bandeja Paisa: Es un plato completo y abundante, característico de la región del Valle de Aburrá. Incluye arroz, frijoles, carne molida, chicharrón (panceta frita), arepa, aguacate, huevo frito, y plátano maduro. Ejemplo: "La bandeja paisa es un plato lleno de sabor y energía."

Sancocho: Este plato se sirve en muchas regiones de Colombia y varía dependiendo de los ingredientes. Por lo general, se prepara con carne de res, pollo o pescado, y se acompaña con yuca, plátano, papa y mazorca. Ejemplo: "El sancocho es perfecto para compartir en familia."

Empanadas: Las empanadas colombianas son rellenas de carne, pollo, o incluso queso, y se fríen hasta quedar crujientes. Se sirven con salsa de ají. Ejemplo: "Las empanadas son un excelente aperitivo para cualquier reunión."

And that's all for today. If you are interested in learning more about Colombian gastronomy or improving your Spanish, do not hesitate to book a class with me. You can find more information in my profile. See you next time!

Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”

2.  5 Ways to say  "not only... but also"  in Chinese

Let's talk college football. Saturday afternoon. Big day. Feet up, beverage. Game starts at noon. Be ready.

English My Way

College Football

شک رازی است
لبخند رازی است
عشق رازی است

اشک آن شب لبخند عشقم بود

قصه نیستم که بگویی
نغمه نیستم که بخوانی
صدا نیستم که بشنوی
یا چیزی چنان که بینی
یا چیزی چنان که بدانی...

من درد مشترکم
مرا فریاد کن

درخت با جنگل سخن می گوید
علف با صحرا
ستاره با کهکشان
و من با تو سخن می گویم

نامت را به من بگو
دستت را به من بده
حرفت را به من بگو
قلبت را به من بده،
من ریشه های تو را دریافته ام
با لبانت برای همه لبها سخن گفته ام 
و دست هایت با دستان من آشناست.

در خلوت روشن با تو گریسته ام
برای خاطر زندگان،
و در گورستان تاریک با تو خوانده ام
زیباترین سرودها را
زیرا که مردگان این سال
عاشق ترین زندگان بودند.

دستت را به من بده
دستهای تو با من آشناست
ای دیر یافته! با تو سخن می گویم
بسان ابر که با طوفان
بسان علف که با صحرا
بسان باران که با دریا
بسان پرنده که با بهار
بسان درخت که با جنگل سخن می گوید

زیرا که من
ریشه های تو را دریافته ام
زیرا که صدای من
با صدای تو آشناست
