Gerund in Russian

안녕하세요. 
오늘은 제가 한 잘못된 선택에 대해서 이야기할 거예요. 

제가 살고 있는 곳에는 오늘 눈이 정말 많이 내렸어요. 
눈이 아주 많이 내려서 앞이 안 보일 정도였어요.

앞이 안 보일 정도로 많은 눈이 내리면 길을 걷는 것도 힘들어요. 
그런데 제가 실수로 겨울용 부츠(boots)가 아닌 운동화를 신고 나가버렸어요. 
날씨가 추우니까 옷을 따뜻하게 입어야 하는 것은 생각했는데
신발을 미처 생각하지 못했어요. 

한국어 수업을 하러 출근하는 길이 정말 미끄러웠어요.
너무 미끄러워서 넘어질 뻔한 순간들이 많았어요,

다행히 한 번도 넘어지지 않았지만, 넘어지지 않으려고 미끄러운 길을 계속 신경을 쓰면서 걸어야 했어요. 그리고 학교에 도착했을 때, 저는 이미 너무 피곤했어요. 

미끄러운 길을 30분 동안 걷는 게 은근히 사람을 피곤하게 만들더라고요. 

한국어 수업이 끝나고 다시 집에 돌아오는 퇴근 길,
저는 그 미끄러운 길을 다시 걸어와야 했어요.

발가락에 힘을 딱 주고, 안 넘어지기 위해서 진짜 노력했어요. 
그리고 다짐했어요.

아~ 이제 정말로 눈이 오면 무조건 부츠만 신어야겠다. 운동화는 절대 안 된다.

오늘같이 눈이 많이 오는 날에  운동화를 선택한 것은 정말 잘못된 선택이었어요.

다시는 이런 선택을 하지 않을 거예요.

미끄러운 길 때문에 출퇴근길이 조금 피곤하고 힘들었지만 
눈이 오는 날에 운동화를 신으면 안 된다는 소중한 교훈을 얻었습니다. 

여러분이 살고 있는 곳의 날씨는 어때요?
혹시 제가 살고 있는 곳처럼 눈이 많이 내리고 있으면
조심해서 길을 걸어야 해요. 다치지 말고 건강하게 겨울을 잘 보내기를 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

잘못된 선택_A wrong choice

Hi everyone, this is Jesse, your story writer, and you’re listening to the Being a Cloud podcast. 

More teachers are waking up to the power of stories to teach languages, and on this show, I share the stories I’ve made with my italki students for you to enjoy. 

Are you an ESL student? Do you want to make a story? Book a lesson with me and let’s create one together. 

In this story, an orange named Orangutan gets an unexpected text message from his girlfriend. This is part 1 of 3.  

~~~

Orangutan the Orange

Rain is pouring heavily onto a small town somewhere in Russia. It’s 8:15 in the morning on a cold Monday. 

Inside of a small, community-run gym, there is an angry-looking orange lifting some weights. It’s early, so no other members are in the gym. Not all the lights are turned on. The fourteen-year-old orange is alone lifting some dumbbells. 

8 – 9 – 10 – Rest… 

He takes in huge breathes to recover. He seems very driven to push his body to its limits. 

Again… 1 – 2 – 3… 

After completing his 5th set, the orange walks over to the bench press. He lays down on the bench, grabs the steel bar and lifts the 50kg weights. He’s very strong for such a young piece of fruit. 

Then, his mobile phone makes a sound. The orange completes his set, then grabs his phone from his bag. Two new messages have arrived. He opens the first one and scans the text. 

Hi, Orangutan, my dear, it’s me. I’m sorry to say, but our relationship is over. Please don’t visit me or call me anymore. You’re very strong and handsome, but you’re not polite or considerate. While I do care for you, sometimes I don’t feel safe around you…

The message stops there. It continues in the second message. But Orangutan feels so insulted and hurt by the message. He instantly deletes both of the messages, without reading the second.

Wanting more? Then create your own story. Book a class with me on italki.

One of the most important decisions you will make in your life is choosing a life partner. "Choose a partner who will not clip you wings and will allow you to make your own decisions."
It is crucial to having a happy life.

"Choose a partner who will not clip you wings."

As a communication coach, I witness the transformative power of preparation in business communication.  Winging it might work occasionally, but for consistent success, pre-communication planning is your secret weapon.  Here are my top 6  tips to ensure you dominate your next meeting, presentation, or email exchange:

1. Know Your Audience:  This isn't a cliche; it's the foundation.  Research your audience's background, interests, and pain points.  Tailor your language and message to resonate with them.  Imagine explaining your idea to a friend – that level of clarity and connection is what you're aiming for.

2. Define Your Purpose:  What is the single most important takeaway you want your audience to have?  Is it to inform, persuade, or simply update?  Having a clear purpose keeps your message focused and avoids information overload.

3. Craft a Compelling Message:  Less is more.  Eliminate jargon and redundancy.  Structure your message with a clear beginning, middle, and end.  Practice your delivery beforehand, paying attention to pacing, tone, and body language.

4. Anticipate Roadblocks:  Forewarned is forearmed.  Think of potential objections or questions your audience might have.  Prepare clear, concise responses that address these concerns head-on.  This demonstrates confidence and proactive problem-solving.

5. Choose Your Weapon Wisely:  Not all communication channels are created equal.  Consider the purpose and audience when selecting your method.  A complex proposal might be best delivered as a written document, while a team update could thrive on a video call.

6. Embrace Technology:  Utilize presentation tools effectively.  Visuals can significantly enhance understanding and retention of your message.  However, avoid information overload –  keep slides clean and focused on supporting your core points.
