Ep4 Будь здоров (Two contexts for one phrase)

Escúchalo con calma y trata de quedarte con las ideas principales.

En el pódcast que estás a punto de escuchar, oirás hablar sobre platos y bebidas costarricenses que quizás no conozcas.

Una expresión puramente costarricense es ¡Pura vida! Es tan común que a veces es lo primero que aprenden muchos extranjeros en español (sobre todo estadounidenses) gracias al turismo internacional del país.

第四部分：

其实，从你回眸的那个眼神里
我就感受到了中国的诗意
因为从你的眼里
我读到了优雅的气质
读到了幸福的光芒
我看见——
你的眼里，正在大步流星地
走着一个
器宇轩昂的中国！

ACTION _ POWER words to use in your CV

When it comes to communication we do it in number of ways. Through words, tone of voice and the body languge.

Here is he percentage split between body language, voice and words:

Body Language – the visible actions that we show to others using all parts of our body – 55%
Voice – the pitch, pace, tone and volume of our voice – 38%
Words – the actual words that make up our message – 7%.

This often surprises many people as they often think the words make up most of the communication. In reality, it’s the visible things we show that communicates most of the message as this is where most people’s perceptions are formed – from what they can see.

Since my students are GMs, CEOs and various C-level managers I have the ability to learn it directly from them and I am excited to share my discoveries with you.

叫外卖 Order takeout （Beginner）

Pizza is one of the world's most popular fast foods. It's believed that over 5 billion pizzas are sold around the world every year. In the US alone, people buy about 3 billion pizzas each year, which is about 46 slices per person!

But it wasn't always as popular as it is today — in fact, it used to be looked down on, even by Italians!

The modern pizza we know today started in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. Poor people in the city needed cheap food that was easy to eat as they looked for work. Street vendors sold them pizzas with simple toppings like garlic and tomatoes.

For a long time, pizza was looked down on as food for the poor, and visitors to Naples thought it was dirty and unappealing.

But this changed in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Italy tried pizza and loved it. The pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil was named after her, and pizza started to become a national dish in Italy.

Pizza became a favorite in the US after Italian immigrants brought it with them. It became especially popular in cities like New York, and new styles like Chicago deep dish and Hawaiian were invented.

And it became even more popular with the invention of frozen pizza, which let people make their own pizzas at home.

Today, pizza is enjoyed around the world, with many different toppings and styles. But its basic form hasn't changed very much from all those years ago.

MI PUEBLO EPISODIO 1

Young people in South Korea are turning their backs on marriage, according to a government report.

A survey by Statistics Korea of Koreans aged between 19 and 34 found that just 36% have a positive opinion of marriage.

That's down from 56% in 2012.

The report found that many young Koreans feel they do not have enough money for marriage at a time when the cost of living is high.

Others said they don't think that marriage is necessary.

The report also found that only 28% of the women surveyed have a positive opinion of marriage.

This may be because women are choosing to put their jobs first — before marrying and starting a family.

Earlier in the year, Statistics Korea said that the number of marriages in the country in 2022 was the lowest ever recorded.

There were 192,000 marriages in 2022. The number of marriages recorded has now decreased in each of the last 11 years.

The government is worried, and has spent years trying to encourage young people to marry and have children, since the country's birth rate is also falling.

But more Koreans are happy to stay single. There is even a word for people who choose not to marry: bihon.

And instead of encouraging Koreans to marry, some people are asking the government to do more for single people who have chosen to live on their own.
