Basic greetings in Saudi Arabic

Forget the fancy suits and practiced answers.  Job interviews are about why, not what.  Why are you here? Why should we care?  The truth is, the scripted responses you rehearse might not resonate.  But what if you could tap into your authentic self, the one brimming with passion and ideas?  That's the power of mastering impromptu speaking.

Think of an interview not as an interrogation, but a conversation fueled by purpose.  Impromptu speaking allows you to sound natural and convincing.  It lets you ditch the script and dive straight into the wellspring of your "Why."  The interviewer throws a curveball question?  No problem.  You can think on your feet,  demonstrating your ability to adapt and solve problems –  essential skills in today's ever-changing workplace.

Imagine being asked about a weakness.  A scripted response sounds robotic.  But with impromptu fluency, you can talk about a past challenge, how you learned from it, and how that experience fuels your drive to succeed.  It's a story, not a statistic.  Stories connect.  They show your human side, your ability to overcome obstacles – all qualities that make you a compelling candidate. 

Confidence is another perk.  When you can speak confidently and articulately without a script, you project a powerful presence.  It shows you believe in yourself and your ideas –  the kind of person who inspires trust and gets things done.  So, ditch the memorization and embrace the impromptu.  It's not about having all the answers, but about the passion and purpose behind them.  That's the "Why" that will land you the job.

Don't wait for the interview to start honing your impromptu skills.  Start conversations with friends, family, or even strangers.  Challenge yourself to think on your feet and express yourself clearly.  Record yourself and watch it back.  Sign up for a session and we can focus on improving your impromptu speaking ability to make sure you get hired!

CHISTES MEXICANOS

建议同学们先听，如果有听不懂的地方再看文本。

       爱情有三种，第一种是为爱而爱。大部分跟男孩有关。男孩年龄大了，该结婚了。于是别人介绍一个，了解一下对方的条件，觉得还行，于是开始培养对对方的感情。首先不断地告诉自己，对方人不错，过了这村就没有这店，要珍惜；有时犹豫了，总会有人提醒他，你要求是不是太高了，你年纪大了，让他觉得不对女孩好不应该，于是加倍对女孩好。
　　这种爱的表现形式就是对对方很好，总之，一切以得到对方的爱为目的。
　　第二种爱就是被爱而爱，大部分是女孩。女孩大了，周围的朋友们都嫁人了，自己却还是一个人，挺孤独的，家人着急，别人议论，自己也觉得有压力，这时有男孩来向她表示点什么了，想想也还不错，既然找不到自己爱的人，就去找一个爱自己的人吧，于是就同意交往了，发现对方真的对自己不错，那就结婚吧。
　　结婚后，这两种爱情的问题出现了。男孩的目的达到了，还这样累干什么呢？女孩便感受不到男孩对她的爱，于是她爱的基础也没有了。矛盾产生了，女的抱怨男孩不像婚前那样爱自己了，男孩觉得女孩不懂事，都结婚了，还爱不爱的。于是开始吵，双方都觉得婚姻没意思。
　　好在还有第三种爱。前两种爱是先确定关系而后爱，这一种是先爱再确定关系。这种爱就是因爱而爱。两个人只是因为爱对方而爱，他们爱的是对方这个人，没有其他什么。他们不会因为只有一碗饭吃而觉得倒霉，而会因为分吃一碗饭而觉得幸福。这种爱情，在都市里渐渐变成一个童话，如果你有幸遇到，请好好儿珍惜。

Chinese language has not many syllables, as a result, many Chinese words that sound the same have totally different meanings. The feature of Chinese allows speakers to use homophones quite often. There are six types of homophone rhetoric. This voice will introduce the first type.
