So, picture this: two brand new bars have popped up, and they're turning language learning on its head. How? By banning Japanese and giving the English language the spotlight it deserves. Can you believe it?

Sick! English-Only Bars Make Waves in Tokyo and Osaka

On her first day at a new school, Sara was nervous. The computer suddenly stopped working in the middle of her lesson, and the students started whispering. Without panicking, she smiled, grabbed a marker, and turned the lesson into a game on the board. The students got excited and joined in. After class, another teacher said, “Wow, you were really on the ball.”
Sara laughed and said, “I had to be — teaching always keeps you on your toes.”


Tom works in an office. One morning, his boss asks for a report.
Tom already has the information ready. He answers quickly and fixes a small mistake.
The boss smiles and says,
“Good job, Tom. You’re really on the ball today.”

Idiom : "On the ball” means alert, quick to understand, and doing your job well.

If you are on the ball, you:
pay attention
understand quickly
react fast be
are prepared

Examples:
Our new teacher is really on the ball — she noticed the mistake immediately.
You have to be on the ball in this job; things change fast.

On the ball

When you' re camping, don't try and put up a tent unless the ground is completely level.
Choose campsites with a good variety of facilities and entertainment in case the weather is terrible and you can't spend much time outdoors.
If you wane to explore the countryside and you're hiking during the day, be sure to have a small backpack for water, maps, lunch, etc.

Reseña sobre "Duna: Parte 2", película del director Denis Villeneuve.

Episodio 1: Duna - Parte 2

Никогда ни о чем не жалейте вдогонку,
Если то, что случилось, нельзя изменить.
Как записку из прошлого, грусть свою скомкав,
С этим прошлым порвите непрочную нить.

Никогда не жалейте о том, что случилось.
Иль о том, что случиться не может уже.
Лишь бы озеро вашей души не мутилось
Да надежды, как птицы, парили в душе.
 
Не жалейте своей доброты и участья.
Если даже за все вам — усмешка в ответ.
Кто-то в гении выбился, кто-то в начальство…
Не жалейте, что вам не досталось их бед.

Никогда, никогда ни о чем не жалейте —
Поздно начали вы или рано ушли.
Кто-то пусть гениально играет на флейте.
Но ведь песни берет он из вашей души.

Никогда, никогда ни о чем не жалейте —
Ни потерянных дней, ни сгоревшей любви.
Пусть другой гениально играет на флейте,
Но еще гениальнее слушали вы.
