This May, I want to plant a seed in your brain. I will water this seed during the month of May. This seed is - TO WRITE - in English.

The thought I want to water, nourish and feed - for you, this month - is the idea that this month, this MAY - you START TO THINK about writing in ENGLISH. 

May this May be the month that you begin to write! That is my wish for you. 

Until next time!

Intermediate Chinese Listening：刻板印象 Stereotype

Hi everyone, and welcome back to Everyday English. Today’s episode is about personality. Are you more of an extrovert or an introvert? Or maybe you’re somewhere in between? Let’s find out!
Extroverts love socializing, meeting new people, and feel energized in busy environments. They enjoy group activities, thrive in social situations, and often express their thoughts openly. If you love parties, speaking in front of a crowd, and you make new friends easily, you might be an extrovert!
Introverts, on the other hand, prefer quiet time, deep conversations, and need space to recharge after socializing. They often enjoy reading, writing, or creative hobbies alone. If you feel drained after large social events and enjoy spending time in peaceful settings, you might be an introvert.
But here’s a fun fact—many people aren’t fully one or the other! Ambiverts have a mix of both traits. They can enjoy social events but also need alone time to recharge. If you like going out sometimes but also love staying home, you might be an ambivert! 
I think I’m more of an introvert—I love spending time in my garden and with my cats. What about you? Do you relate more to introverts or extroverts? Or are you somewhere in between?

Introvert vs Extrovert

Hello and welcome to ArabicLights, your channel to learn the Arabic language. This is an intermediate article for practicing reading and listening to Arabic articles. This article in Arabic about expressing feelings, crying for men and women, and when feeling sad or overwhelmed about what they do.

الرَّجلُ لا يبكي، جملةٌ كثيرًا ما يوجِّـهُـهَا الأبُ والأمُّ لأطفالِهمُ الذُّكورَ حـيـنَ يواجِهونَ مشكلةً بسيطةً في حياتِهمُ اليوميَّة. الرجلُ القويُّ، لا يعبُّرُ عن مشاعرهِ ولا يبكِي، أما العاطفةُ فهي للنِساءِ، فهنَّ الأكثرُ حَساسِيةً و«دَمْعَتُهُنَّ قَرِيبةٌ» جدًا. الحقيقةُ أنَّ الرجلَ أيضاً كائـنٌ عاطفيٌّ بِامْتِياز، وأنَّ مَشاعرَهُ موجودةٌ وقويةٌ وحاضِرَة، لكنَّ المُجْتَمعَ يَـحـولُ دُونَ التعبيرِ عنها. الرجلُ عاطفيٌ، ولابدَّ أنْ يُـعَـبِّـرَ عن مشاعرهِ وإنْ لم يفعلْ؛ سيُؤَثِـرُ ذلكَ عليهِ بشكلٍ سلبيٍّ.   

صَحِيفَةُ «لُوفِيجَارُو» الفَرَنسِيَّة ناقشتْ الموضوعَ وتكلَّمتْ فيه مُطوََلاً وأشارتْ إلى أنَّ كثيرًا من الآباءِ اليومَ يمارسونَ الأدوارَ التي قامت بها الأمّهاتُ في السابقِ، من الاعـتِـنَـاءِ بالأطفالِ واللعبِ معهم وتغييرِ ملابسهمْ وإطعامِهم. إذ لا فروقَ جوهريةَ بينَ الرَّجلِ والمرأةِ ولكنَّ الرجالَ يـتحـفَّظونَ عن إعلانِ مشاعرِهم. ليسَ صحيحًا أنَّ الرجالَ يبكونُ فقط في ملاعبِ الكرةِ حينَ ينتَصِرونَ أو يُـخْـفِـقُونَ، لكنَّ المشاعرَ حاضرةٌ في كلِّ مـجالاتِ الحياة اليوميةِ، المشاعرُ لا مفرَّ منها.

Сегодня Катя слушала подкаст про инвестиции. Она подумала: - Я много работаю. Но у меня мало денег. Я трачу деньги на хобби и на путешествия, на новую одежду и на модную обувь. Я думаю, что мне нужно инвестировать и получать доход! Может быть, купить акции? Конечно, это выгодно, но риск очень большой. Или лучше купить несколько облигаций? Говорят, что облигации - надёжная инвестиция. Но доход маленький. Нет, самая лучшая инвестиция – квартира. Хорошая идея - купить квартиру, а потом сдавать в аренду. Но квартира стоит дорого. Где взять деньги? Как трудно выбрать, во что инвестировать… 

Vocabulaire
инвестиции – investissements
надёжная инвестиция -  bon investissement
рискованная инвестиция - investissement risqué
лучшая инвестиция - le meilleur investissement
инвестировать – investir
тратить деньги -dépenser de l'argent
получать/получить доход - gagner de l'argent 
покупать акции/облигации - acheter  des actions / des obligations  
купить квартиру - acheter un appartement
сдавать в аренду квартиру -  louer un appartement

По-русски легко!

Episode #22 - If you got a cold...? (24.01.2022 Posted)

Jimmy ha deciso di andare al ristorante per provare alcuni piatti tipici italiani. Appena entra il cameriere gli dice: “Quanti siete?”
Jimmy risponde “sono solo.”
Il cameriere gli chiede “ha fatto la prenotazione?”
Jimmy non ha fatto nessuna prenotazione, ma domanda se c’è un posto libero.
“Certo, prego, si accomodi” gli dice il cameriere e poi lo accompagna a un tavolo in un angolo. “Ecco qui il menù”.
Jimmy legge il menù: il suo italiano ormai è abbastanza buono e riesce a capire quasi tutto. In Italia ci sono tantissimi piatti da assaggiare: ci sono gli antipasti - che sono degli spuntini prima del pasto vero e proprio. Ci sono i primi piatti, che comprendono pasta, riso o zuppa. Poi ci sono i secondi piatti - carne o pesce - che di solito vengono accompagnati da un contorno di verdure.
Infine ci sono i dolci e tanti vini.
“Ha deciso?” gli chiede il cameriere.
Jimmy è pronto: “Sì, come antipasto vorrei assaggiare prosciutto e melone.”
“Ottima scelta”, commenta il cameriere. “E per primo?”
“Per primo vorrei un risotto alla pescatora: cioè un risotto con i frutti di mare. E per secondo un’orata al forno - che è un altro tipo di pesce - con contorno di patate.”
Il cameriere scrive tutto: “Perfetto. Da bere cosa prende?”
Jimmy risponde “un cappuccino, per favore.”
Il cameriere guarda Jimmy scioccato: “In Italia non beviamo mai il cappuccino con il pranzo. Anzi, in Italia non beviamo mai il cappuccino dopo le 11 di mattina!”
Jimmy ne chiede il motivo.
Il cameriere spiega “Il latte lo beviamo solo a colazione. Latte e cibo salato insieme non fanno bene allo stomaco. Con il pesce è meglio un calice di vino bianco.”
Jimmy pensa che gli italiani siano davvero strani! Però ordina un bicchiere di vino bianco e si gode il suo pranzo.
