🎙️Episode 5: Daily Routine and Telling the Time in Portuguese

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Executive Coach Terri Creeden! 

In the last episode, Terri talked about authenticity and vulnerability and how they can help people get a job and build meaningful relationships in the workplace. This time, we talk about being authentic in an interview and hear two stories about women who leaned into vulnerability and authenticity and how it helped them in their careers.

Here’s an excerpt from our conversation:

You're never gonna have it all, right? So she went (into the job interview) and said, “This is who I am. This is what I do. You can look at my track record. This is what I've done in the past. I love doing it, and I am the right person for this job.” And she got it!

 Executive Coach Shares Surprising Ways to Stand Out in a Job Interview

В этот раз мы с Лео ( https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/1018354 ) рассказываем, как сварить кашу из топора. Думаете, что из топора каши не сваришь? 
– Здравствуй, Лео! В прошлый раз мы говорили о высокой кухне, а сегодня я бы хотела поговорить об обычной еде, домашней. О каше.
– Да, щи да каша – пища наша. 
– Ты же умеешь варить каши? 
– Умею.
– Из чего? 
– Из разных круп. Из гречки с мясом, из риса на молоке, из пшена с тыквой… 
– А из топора когда-нибудь варил? 
– Из чего-чего? 
– Из топора. 
– Вы шутите? 
– Какие шутки? Был однажды случай. Старый солдат шёл на побывку… 
– Давайте объясним нашим слушателям: побывка – это отпуск военного, солдата. У школьников и студентов – каникулы, у людей, которые работают – отпуск, а у военных, у солдат – побывка.
– Спасибо, Лео. Солдат устал в пути, и ему захотелось есть. Пришёл в деревню, постучал в крайнюю избу и попросился отдохнуть и поесть с дороги. У хозяйки еда была, но женщина не хотела делиться. 
– А, вспомнил! Вы же рассказываете сказку «Каша из топора»! Значит, вы точно шутили!
– Верно.
– Тогда давайте вместе расскажем эту сказку нашим слушателям.
– Давай. Так вот. Женщина говорит: Ох, добрый человек, я и сама сегодня ещё ничего не ела: нечего. 
– Ну, нет так нет, – говорит солдат. Но тут он заметил под лавкой топор. - Если ничего другого нет, можно сварить кашу из топора.
Хозяйка удивилась: 
– Разве можно из топора кашу сварить? 
– Давай-ка котёл. 
Хозяйка принесла котёл, солдат вымыл топор, положил в котёл, налил воды и поставил на огонь. Женщина внимательно смотрела, как солдат будет варить кашу.  Достал солдат ложку, мешает варево. Попробовал. 
– Ну, как? – спрашивает женщина.
– Скоро будет готова, жаль вот только, что посолить нечем. 
– Соль-то у меня есть, посоли. 
Солдат посолил, снова попробовал. 
– Хороша! Если бы сюда немного крупы добавить!
Женщина принесла крупы. Добавил солдат крупы. Варил, варил, мешал ложкой. Попробовал. 
– Ох, и хороша каша! Сюда бы чуть-чуть масла – была бы вкуснотища!..

Men and women think and feel differently and when it comes to relationships, I feel that women are more invested emotionally. In this podcast, I will give my two cents on why there is more to life than love and tell the difference between men and women.

FLO TALKS 

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN LOVE.

In todays episode we discuss anger and methods to overcome it in our daily life.

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 21 : Are you an angry person? 

People have been building boats for at least 10,000 years, making them one of the oldest types of transportation. They're a big part of history, which is why there are many expressions about boats.

If you have the same problems or are in the same situation as someone else, you can say you are "in the same boat." This expression comes from the fact that people on the same boat are all affected if the boat gets into trouble while at sea.

For example, if your friend told you they had lost their job, and you had also lost your job, you could say "Looks like we're in the same boat — I lost my job too!"

If a person is doing something too much or in an extreme way, you can say they are "going overboard" with it. This expression comes from the 1600s when boats were mostly made of wooden boards, and going overboard meant falling into the water.

So if your friend kept calling the same company to ask for a job, you could say, "Don't go overboard! If you keep calling them they won't hire you."

If someone misses out on something, especially because they were late or too slow, you can say they have "missed the boat." This expression refers to being late to board a boat that departed at a specific time.

So your friend might say, "I just want to make sure I'm the first person they call when they're hiring. I don't want to miss the boat!"
