English At Work: 10 Ways to Improve Your English at Work. Tip 3.

Beberapa waktu lalu, ibuku bilang dia sedang mencari jepit rambut untuk membuat sanggul. Hmm.. jepit rambut ini bagusnya kita beli dimana ya? Oya, kita coba cari di toko online yuk! 
Wah yang mana ya yang harus aku beli. Disini ada beraneka macam jenis dan warnanya. Hmm.. oke deh aku coba pilih yang warna netral saja supaya ibuku bisa mudah mencocokan dengan warna pakaian dan tasnya nanti. Oke ini saja! Warna coklat tua dan biru tua. Ya, ibuku pasti sangat senang dengan hadiah kecil ini. 

Wah barangnya sudah datang, yuk kita bungkus kadonya supaya lebih cantik. Ibuku suka warna merah, jadi aku membeli kertas kado warna merah. Mari kita bungkus sama-sama..tada.. Sudah jadi deh! Sekarang kita simpan kado ini di tempat yang aman sampai minggu depan ya. Jangan sampai ibuku melihat hadiah ini. Supaya bisa jadi kejutan untuknya. 

Oke sekarang kita siapkan barang berikutnya. Apakah itu? Tentu saja.. kue ulang tahun! Untuk beli kue ulang tahun ini, sebaiknya kita pergi ke toko fisik. Di dekat rumahku ada toko kue dan roti. Disana ada aneka macam kue ulang tahun dengan harga yang bervariasi. Yuk kita pergi bareng-bareng dan lihat ada apa saja di sana. Wow.. di sini ada kue brownies, kue black forest, kue red velvet, kue keju atau yang biasa sering disebut cheese cake, kue tiramisu, dan masih banyak lagi. Hah Aku jadi bingung mau beli yang mana. Coba aku telepon kakakku dulu ya. 

“Halo, Kak! Ini aku sedang ada di toko kue. Kira-kira mama suka kue rasa apa ya untuk perayaan ulang tahun hari ini?” “Wah… Oke baik kalau gitu. Rasa apapun ya, asalkan tidak terkandung bahan kopi. Sip deh kalau gitu. Kita beli yang kue red velvet saja. Terima kasih. Sampai jumpa nanti. Dadah!” 

Nah, temen-temen! Sekarang kue ulang tahunnya juga sudah siap! Kita beli lilinnya juga sekalian ya. Umur ibuku tahun ini adalah 63. Jadi kita beli angka 6 dan angka 3. Oya, jangan lupa kita keluarkan hadiah yang sudah disiapkan minggu lalu. 

Oke deh, semuanya sudah siap! Terima kasih ya sudah menemaniku!

Այս էպիզոդը իմ ընկերոջ մասին է։ Ես ուզում եմ, որ մարդիկ իմանան նրա մասին...

The boardroom shimmered with anticipation. It was our moment – the chance to present our green energy solution to a potential billion-dollar partner.  Months of research and development hung in the balance.  As CEO, I knew the presentation had to be flawless.

Flashback six weeks.  We'd made the initial contact with them, but our initial proposal was met with a lukewarm response.  Their feedback – "unclear goals" and "lack of data-driven evidence."  It was a harsh lesson.  We'd underestimated the importance of clear communication.

This time, we went all in on preparation.  We drilled down on their specific needs, tailoring our presentation to address their environmental goals and cost-saving projections.  Data became our mantra.  Charts, graphs, and case studies were meticulously crafted to showcase the impact of our technology.

Anticipating questions was paramount.  Our team planned every scenario, rehearsing responses until they were clear, concise, and confident.  Even the presentation slides – clean, visually appealing, and focused on the message – became a communication tool.

Fast forward to the meeting.  My opening statement resonated.  It wasn't just about our technology; it was about a shared vision for a sustainable future.  The data painted a compelling picture, each statistic linked back to the investor's needs.  When questions arose, our team delivered prepared, impactful responses.

The atmosphere shifted.  Their executives leaned forward, engaged.  The follow-up discussions were lively, brimming with possibilities.  We left that day with a handshake and a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks later, they signed the partnership agreement.  Looking back, it wasn't just our technology that won them over.  It was the preparation, the clear communication, and the confidence we exuded. In business, effective communication is the bridge between good ideas and successful partnerships.  And that bridge is built on preparation.

Welcome to our first lesson! Today, we’re starting with the basics of sentence structure. Every sentence in English has three key parts: a subject, a verb, and an object. Let’s dive into what each part means and how they work together.

The subject is the person, place, or thing that the sentence is about. The verb shows the action or state of being. The object receives the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "I eat apples," "I" is the subject, "eat" is the verb, and "apples" is the object.

Let’s look at some more examples. "She reads books." Here, "she" is the subject, "reads" is the verb, and "books" is the object. Another example is, "They play soccer." In this sentence, "they" is the subject, "play" is the verb, and "soccer" is the object.

Now, let’s practice together. Repeat after me: "I eat apples." Great! Now let’s try another one: "I watch TV." Excellent! Next, we’ll create some sentences together. I’ll say, "I [verb] [object]," and you can choose your own verb and object to complete the sentence. For example, "I see flowers," or "I like pizza."

Let’s make our practice a bit more creative. Think about activities you do every day. For instance, "I drink coffee," or "I read the newspaper." You could also say, "I walk to school," or "I write emails." Can you add a few more examples of things you do regularly? Practice saying them aloud to build confidence in using the Subject + Verb + Object structure. Try to include activities from different parts of your day, like morning routines, work tasks, or evening hobbies. Think about what you do when you wake up, such as "I brush my teeth," or "I make the bed." Then consider what you might do later, like "I cook dinner," or "I watch TV before bed."

Te hablo aquí sobre esta expresión y te cuento una mini historia de amor... escúchalo aprenderás mucho.

Hablar por hablar (Listening)

Una historia de amor

Una forma de dar explicaciones muy habitual en español a través del lenguaje oral es la expresión "es que". Hoy no has venido al partido. Es que tenía mucho trabajo. Es común usarlo para poner excusas cuando no hacemos alguna obligación o cumplimos algún compromiso social.
