Episode 140 - Your Global Edge: Defining Your Unique Value

Jimmy oggi è un signore anziano, ma ama raccontare la sua vita da bambino.
Da piccolo aveva i capelli corti, biondi e lisci. Era magro e alto e portava l’apparecchio. Non indossava gli occhiali. Jimmy abitava nella periferia di Londra e ogni mattina andava a scuola in bicicletta con la sua migliore amica. A essere onesti, la scuola non gli piaceva affatto. Nelle cinque ore di lezione dormiva, stava poco attento o chiacchierava con i compagni di classe. Amava studiare solo la matematica. Il pomeriggio, infatti, dopo le lezioni faceva sempre i compiti di matematica. Poi usciva e andava a giocare con gli amici. I suoi genitori si arrabbiavano sempre con lui.
Quando è cresciuto, Jimmy ha iniziato a lavorare in panetteria. Ogni giorno si svegliava alle 3 e iniziava il lavoro molto presto. Però finiva anche presto: a ora di pranzo si liberava e poteva riposare tutto il pomeriggio e trascorrere il tempo come più preferiva.
Abitava in una piccola casa con la sua famiglia: la casa aveva due camere da letto, un salotto, una cucina e un bagno. Dietro la casa c’era un cortile dove Jimmy amava leggere il giornale. Già all’epoca, come oggi, faceva molto sport: ogni fine settimana andava in bicicletta. Tutti i pomeriggi, dopo pranzo, passeggiava al parco e faceva un po’ di ginnastica per tonificare i muscoli.
Jimmy era felice della sua vita e lo è ancora oggi.

 У нас в семье́ мно́го дома́шних пито́мцев: соба́ка, ко́шка, черепа́ха, хомяки́, попуга́й и ры́бки. Соба́ку зову́т Дружо́к, кота́ зову́т Му́рзик, а черепа́ху зову́т Чупа. Я их всех люблю́.
Одна́жды Дружо́к съел на да́че лягу́шку. Мы испуга́лись и пое́хали с ним в ветерина́рную кли́нику. Врач сказа́л, что всё хорошо́, и е́сли Дружо́к съел лягу́шку, то она́ пошла́ ему́ на по́льзу. Но мне жа́лко лягу́шку!

Walnuts Could Help Students with Stress, Says Study

University isn't all sleeping, parties, and video games — many students find it a stressful time, with exams and the beginning of adult life.

But a recent study has suggested that there's a food that could help with some of that stress — walnuts.

Walnuts are known to be a healthy snack. They contain healthy fats and proteins, which are good for the body and the mind.

They may not be the most exciting food for young adults to snack on in a world of pizza and burgers, but they could have a positive effect both on academic stress and on the health of the body.

That's according to researchers from the University of South Australia, who had 80 students take part in their study.

One group of students was asked to eat about half a cup of walnuts every day for 16 weeks. They could eat them as a snack or add them to meals at any time of the day.

The other participants were told not to eat nuts for those 16 weeks.

The researchers found that academic stress was having a negative effect on student's mental health, on the amount of protein in their bodies, and — in female participants — on the diversity of bacteria in their guts.

But these things all improved among those who had been eating walnuts.

Larisa Bobrovskaya, one of the study's authors, said not only are walnuts good for students, they're an easy thing to add to lots of different meals.

However, she also said just having something extra to eat might have made the students feel better, so more research is needed.
