Episode 6: Which Are The Most Spoken Languages In The United Kingdom?

Сегодня прочтем отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали”, автор Ян Ларри. Это история о том, как один профессор и двое детей (их имена есть в названии - мальчик Карик и девочка Валя) стали очень маленькими и исследовали наш мир с другой стороны, так сказать. Я очень любила эту книжку в детстве.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: це́лый - весь, полный - whole; забы́ть - перестать помнить - to forget; находи́ться - быть, пребывать, иметься где-нибудь - to be, locate; склони́ться - нагнуться, опуститься - to bow down; ста́рый знако́мый - an old acquaintance; стекло́ - glass; пау́к - spider; сра́зу - немедленно, в тот же момент - at once, right away, straight; рассмотре́ть - всматриваясь, распознать, осмотреть - to descry; ко́нчик его ноги - tip of his foot; ко́готь (или когото́к) - ноготь зверя или птицы - claw; гре́бень - crest, comb; у́зел паути́ны - web node; бык - bull; разгляде́ть - то же самое, что рассмотреть - to make out; че́люсть - jaw; взду́тый - swollen; брю́хо - живот животного - belly, abdomen; охо́титься - заниматься охотой - to hunt.

그만 다 접자.
(Let’s stop everything.)

"What is 접자?"
"접자" means "Let's stop."
"접다" originally means "to fold cloth or paper."
To Fold the paper. 종이를 접다.
To Fold the T-shirt. 티셔츠를 접다. 

However, "접다" has another meaning.
When you stop doing something or an action that you have been doing continuously, you can use the expression "접다."

요즘 너무 피곤해서 아침운동 접었어요.
I'm so tired these days that I stopped morning exercise.

여행 계획 접었어요. 돈부터 모을 거예요. 
I stopped my travel plans. I'll save up some money first.

오늘 하루만 공부 접고, 놀까?
How about taking a break from studying just for today?

무슨 말인지 알겠어요? You got it?

Are you stuck at IELTS 5.5 or 6.0? Tired of hearing the same advice but seeing no progress? In this episode, I break down the real reasons why your IELTS Speaking and Writing scores aren’t improving — and what you need to change today.

Having worked with hundreds of IELTS candidates, especially from China, I know the common mistakes:

Short, unnatural answers

Overly formal language

Repetitive vocabulary

Relying on memorized idioms instead of natural English

🚫 Why IELTS strategies alone won’t help
🚫 Why tips, templates, and endless mock tests aren't enough
✅ Why 200+ hours of active practice is the real key to moving from Band 6 to Band 7
✅ How authentic English practice and honest feedback will help you improve faster

What you'll learn in this episode:

The truth about IELTS progress (based on Cambridge research)

Why many candidates from China (and globally) misunderstand how IELTS works

How IELTS measures real-world communication skills, not your ability to memorize exam hacks

The mindset shift you need if you’re serious about Band 7+

🎧 Listen now and get clear, no-nonsense advice on how to improve your IELTS score — from someone who’s helped students worldwide achieve success.

En el episodio de hoy hablamos de literatura. En él hablo de la generación del 27, que fue un grupo de autores de comienzos del s. XX con unas características similares. Durante el episodio te comento estas características, cómo surgió y las circunstancias sociales y políticas que tenían lugar en esa época. Además, te menciono el nombre de algunos autores que formaron parte de esta generación junto con algunas de sus obras.

Este episodio es complementario al episodio 107 donde te hablo de otro movimiento que tuvo lugar en España unos años antes, La generación del 98.

Como siempre, espero que, a pesar de ser un poco diferente, disfrutes el episodio de hoy, y lo encuentres interesante.
