In last week's podcast episode, How to Use Informational Interviews to Land Your Dream Job, I said informational interviews are the best-kept secret in networking. 

That means they're great, but many people don't know it. So, they don't include informational interviews in their networking efforts. 

Tune in to this week’s episode to more about using “best-kept secret” and five more English phrases and idioms. You'll also get some homework at the end so you can continue to improve your English communication skills. Tune in to continue building your English vocabulary with new idioms and phrases!

Best Kept Secret and Other English Idioms

Сегодня возьмем отрывок из повести Константина Паустовского “Золотая роза”. Глава “Язык и природа” рассказывает о размышлениях автора на тему поэтичности некоторых русских слов.

Как всегда я прочитаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз - быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. 

Напишите мне сообщение со словами “девятый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. И конечно ставьте лайки и пишите отзывы на мои подкасты. Это важно для развития канала!

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

More than half of US adults work while they're on vacation, according to a new survey.

A public relations company called Movchan Agency found that 54% of Americans sometimes or always work while they're on holiday.

There's a name for taking a trip and bringing your work with you: a "workcation."

This is usually something a worker plans, letting them get a break from the office without using up paid days off.

But according to the survey, some people have no choice — their work follows them even when they want to take a break.

So while 34% of people said they work on vacation because they love what they do, 29% do it because they're afraid of losing their job.

And about a quarter of people said their boss even asks them to work when they're on holiday.

Almost half of the people surveyed said they feel guilty if they're not working during their vacation.

The report says its results show that workplace boundaries have been broken, and burnout is on the horizon.

Many people are already feeling burned out by work. Others admitted to arguing with a partner during their holiday because of the work they're doing on vacation, while almost half have canceled an activity on their trip for work reasons.

Business psychologist Roger Hall told Fox Business that we need to use holiday time to rest our minds.

He said: "The human brain needs time for rest and quiet in order to repair itself."

He added that because many of us can work from anywhere, we don't get that rest.

Quindi: sarebbe facile o diventerebbe veramente complicato avere una relazione con una persona che parla una lingua diversa dalla nostra?
Potrebbe essere difficile litigare?
Diventerebbe complicato spiegarsi meglio?
Ho colto l’occasione…. Oppure potrei dire che “ho preso spunto” da una lezione con Lisa che, come avrete capito, è tedesca e che ha una relazione con un uomo danese, il quale vive in Italia.
Lei ha detto che loro comunicano in inglese, perché il loro livello linguistico è molto alto.
Ma secondo me non è solo un fatto di comunicazione. Subentrerebbe la cultura, intesa come abitudini mentali: quello che è normale per me, non è normale per qualcun altro.
E poi c’è la questione della personalità, come dicevamo nell’intervista: siamo davvero noi stessi quando parliamo un’altra lingua?
Nei miei anni di insegnamento ho avuto molti studenti che volevano imparare l’italiano proprio perché il loro partner è italiano. 
Che gesto d’amore immenso. Imparare la lingua dell’altro per capirlo meglio!
Un antico proverbio italiano dice “moglie e buoi dei paesi tuoi”. Ma in un mondo così fluido, ha ancora senso un proverbio così?
Perché c’entra anche la questione scientifica che parlare una lingua straniera, o più idiomi, sembrerebbe aiutarci a vedere il mondo con occhi diversi. È una questione scientifica non ancora risolta.
Allora ve lo chiedo direttamente: parlare italiano vi fa vedere il mondo da un’altra prospettiva?
Sarebbe possibile per voi avere una relazione con una persona che parla un’altra lingua?
Anche una relazione di amicizia…. Sareste un vero amico – o una vera amica?
