"Invest in yourself." This is something we often hear from motivational speakers but we probably also heard that from our teachers, parents and friends. Perhaps, it is because of the fact that YOU are your best investment, whether it is with knowledge or skills. In this podcast, I will be sharing three principles of personal development.

16.结婚系列：Your English Teacher and Your Gym Teacher Are Getting Married🧨

Doing the shopping in Moscow is hard.
 I thought it would be simple. But it’s not like that.
 What’s written there? What does this word mean?
 I don’t understand this label. Where’s the price?
 Where’s the expiry date? But I don’t get nervous.
 On the contrary, I often laugh at myself.
 For example, yesterday I wanted sugar and bought flour.
 Now I know that coffee with flour isn’t tasty.
 Living in Russia is an interesting adventure!
*********************************************
在莫斯科购物很难。
 我想这会很简单。 但不是那样的。
 那里写了什么？ 这个词是什么意思？
 我不明白这个标签。 价格在哪里？
 到期日在哪里？ 但我不紧张。
 相反，我经常嘲笑自己。
 例如，昨天我想要糖，买了面粉。
 现在我知道加面粉的咖啡不好吃了。
 生活在俄罗斯是一个有趣的冒险！
********************************************************
Faire les courses à Moscou est difficile.
 Je pensais que ce serait simple. Mais ce n'est pas comme ça.
 Qu'est-ce qui est écrit là? Que signifie ce mot?
 Je ne comprends pas cette étiquette. Où est le prix?
 Où est la date d'expiration? Mais je ne deviens pas nerveux.
 Au contraire, je ris souvent de moi-même.
 Par exemple, hier, je voulais du sucre et j'ai acheté de la farine.
 Maintenant, je sais que le café avec de la farine n'est pas savoureux.
 Vivre en Russie est une aventure intéressante!

Using Spoken Discourse Markers for IELTS Speaking

Discourse markers, such as "well," "so," "you know," and "I mean," are common in everyday speech. These words and phrases help guide conversations, signal a change in thought, or give the speaker time to think. For IELTS Speaking, using discourse markers effectively can enhance your fluency and coherence, making your responses more natural and organized.

Here are some key ways to use spoken discourse markers during the IELTS Speaking exam:

Starting Your Response: Using markers like "well" or "actually" can give you a moment to collect your thoughts before answering a question. For example, if asked about your favorite hobby, you could begin with, "Well, I really enjoy painting because it's relaxing."

Organizing Ideas: Words such as "firstly," "secondly," and "finally" can help structure your response when explaining something in detail. This makes it easier for the examiner to follow your ideas.

Clarifying and Rephrasing: Discourse markers like "I mean" or "in other words" are useful for clarifying points or rephrasing if you feel your initial response wasn’t clear enough. For instance, "In other words, I think traveling teaches us valuable life skills."

Filling Pauses: Using phrases like "you know" or "let me think" can fill pauses naturally, preventing awkward silences during your speaking test.

However, it's essential not to overuse discourse markers, as it can make your speech sound unnatural. Practice using them in moderation to sound fluent and confident in your responses.

DONDE FESTEJAR 3.

Si hay algo que ha maravillado a locales y viajeros, es el Centro Histórico de Ciudad de México donde se encuentra, por un lado, el Palacio Nacional, la Catedral Metropolitana al frente y al fondo, los vestigios del Imperio Azteca. Llegar a cada uno de ellos es algo muy sencillo, ya que tan sólo los separan unos cuantos metros, por lo que solo necesitarás de tiempo y ganas para conocer su historia.
 
Antes del whatsapp, el correo electrónico, el fax o el telegrama, el servicio postal era la principal vía de comunicación. Muchas personas se mantuvieron en contacto y esperanzadas de recibir noticias desde prácticamente cualquier parte del mundo, gracias a este sistema. México, “Ciudad de los Grandes Palacios” y su auge porfirista de principios del Siglo XX, no podían quedarse atrás. Así fue como se mandó construir un Palacio Postal en el número 1 de la calle de Tacuba.
 
Si conoces la capital mexicana, recordarás de inmediato el edificio, pero si es tu primera vez por el rumbo, estamos seguros de que lo has visto antes. Su fachada de Cantera de Chiluca es inconfundible y elegante. Pero, la opulencia no termina ahí, continúa al interior, donde su mármol italiano y revestimientos en bronce te invitarán a mandar una carta como a la vieja usanza, porque efectivamente sus servicios continúan en operación.
 
Continuando por la zona, pero cruzando el Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas, se localiza el Palacio de Bellas Artes, un recinto cultural que alberga exposiciones temporales y permanentes de pintura y escultura. Su teatro es tan versátil que ha sido escenario de conciertos de la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, Ópera y danza clásica, así como de presentaciones de cantantes como Juan Gabriel, quien supo ganarse un lugar en el preciado sitio.
 
Si avanzas por dentro de la Alameda Central te encontrarás con el Hemiciclo a Juárez, con su deslumbrante color blanco, cortesía del mármol de Carrara con el que fue hecho. Puedes mirarlo de cerca para observar cada uno...
