Difficult English Explained

Adjectives that end with "-y"

Egg prices are rising in America. The average cost of a dozen eggs hit a record $4.95 in January — up 53% from a year earlier. The price was below $2 in early 2022.

While the coronavirus pandemic and inflation have affected prices, experts say the real problem has been bird flu. An outbreak that began in early 2022 has become the largest in US history, affecting more than 100 million egg-laying hens.

To cope with rising egg prices, some Americans have been going straight to the source — and renting hens.

Rent The Chicken in New Hampshire is letting people rent egg-laying hens for six months at a time. For $595, you get two egg-laying hens and a guide on how to take care of them, as well as chicken feed and a coop to keep the birds in.

The birds actually aren't very difficult to take care of, explains Brian Templeton, owner of Rent The Chicken. "You just let them out and walk around and they go in at night on their own," he told CBS News.

"People really enjoy it," he added.

Rent The Chicken says two hens should produce eight to 14 eggs per week.

That comes to about $25 for every dozen eggs — so it's not really a savings.

You can also get four hens for $735, which would reduce your cost to about $15 per dozen eggs.

However, if you'd like to keep your chickens and coop at the end of your rental period, you can — for an extra $350 to $450.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hens will usually live for six to eight years, and produce eggs for three to four of those years.

So that might bring your price down over time.

Lendas do Brasil - Mula sem cabeça

Do you know how to get better at anything? Athletes do. They work with a coach. 

You don’t have to try to get better at something on your own--a coach can help! Surgeon Atul Gawande says in a popular Ted Talk,  "Great coaches are your external eyes and ears, providing a more accurate picture of your reality." 

Some people seek out coaches proactively. They hire a professional coach to help with their resume, cover letter, LinkedIn Profile, and interview responses before they ever apply for a job. These people undoubtedly get jobs quicker because they hired a coach. However, the majority of people wait too long to get a coach, only seeking out help after a period of failure. 

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn different approaches to bet better at something and the tremendous career opportunities from working with a coach. You’ll hear how others’ lives have been enriched by working with coaches. I talk about my experience working coaches in Brazil and the US. You’ll also hear a story about one of my clients - an engineer in Taiwan who enlisted my help after trying and failing to get a job for years.  You will find out what type of professional coaches exist and how they can help you. If you want to increase your English vocabulary, continue listening to the end, where you’ll hear definitions of five idioms and phrases that came up during the episode.
