 Ideas for Learning English

Motivation

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

EL POZOLE.

INGREDIENTES

(Para 8 Personas)

1 kilo de maíz cacahuazintle descabezado
1 cabeza de ajos entera
1 1/2 kilos de maciza o de pierna de puerco
2 puntas de lengua de res grandes, muy bien lavadas con agua fría y bien talladas con el cuchillo para quitarles toda la baba
1 cebolla partida a la mitad para cocer las carnes
Sal al gusto
6 chiles anchos desvenados, despepitados y remojados en agua muy caliente
1 cucharada de orégano
caldo donde se cocieron las carnes, el necesario
Para acompañar el pozole:

2 lechugas orejonas medianas, lavadas, desinfectadas y rebanadas delgado
1 manojo de rabanitos bien lavados, desinfectados y rebanados delgado
2 cebollas medianas finamente picadas
orégano seco desmenuzado
limones partidos en cuarterones
6 tostadas
verduras y chiles en vinagre

PREPARACIÓN

El maíz se enjuaga muy bien y se le quitan las cabecitas que pudieran haberle quedado (son los puntitos negros al final de cada grano), pues si no, no “florea”; se pone a cocer con agua a cubrir y sin sal hasta que esté suave. Aparte, las carnes por separado se ponen a cocer con cebolla y sal, y cuando estén muy suaves, la lengua se pela muy bien de su piel exterior y tanto la maciza de puerco como la lengua se desmenuzan en trozos grandes. Los chiles anchos se muelen con su agua de remojo y el orégano y se cuelan en la olla donde están los granos de maíz. Se agrega ahí el caldo donde se coció la carne de puerco; se sazona con sal y se deja hervir todo junto durante 15 minutos. El caldo del pozole debe quedar como un atole muy ligero.

PRESENTACIÓN

Se retira la cabeza de ajo del caldo, se divide en dos partes el pozole y a una se le añade la lengua y a la otra la maciza; se sirve muy caliente acompañado por el resto de los ingredientes.
