    НОВАЯ КВАРТИРА ИВАНА ИВАНОВИЧА
   В этом году я купил новую квартиру. Эта квартира находится в центре города. Она большая и удобная. Я взял отпуск на работе, потому что я хочу купить новую мебель.
   Теперь я весь день занят. У меня много дел. Я уже купил диван, стол, стулья, ковёр. Я ещё должен купить кровать, лампу, шкаф, картину. В комнате жены ещё нет зеркала, а в комнате дочери нет телевизора. Я думаю, что в квартире будет красиво.

ВОПРОСЫ:

1) Что есть у Ивана Ивановича?
2) 2) Чего у него нет?
3) 3) Что он хочет купить?

Sara got an email from a company.
“I got the job! I’m going to celebrate!” she shouted.
Her sister looked at her and said,
“Hold your horses. Did you read the whole email?”
Sara checked again.
It was only an interview invitation.
She laughed and said, “Oops… I got too excited!”


Ali saw a big SALE sign and ran into the store.
“I’m going to buy everything!” he shouted.
His friend laughed and said, “Hold your horses! Check your wallet first.”
Ali stopped. He only had $10.
He smiled and said, “Okay… maybe just one T-shirt.
Idiom: Hold your horses

Meaning:
Wait a moment. Slow down. Don’t rush. Be patient.

It’s used when someone is too excited, impatient, or moving too quickly.

It is an informal expression.
Why “horses”? 
In the past, people rode horses.
If the horses moved too fast, you had to hold them to stop them.
So “hold your horses” means control yourself and slow down.

Example Sentences
“Hold your horses! I’m not ready yet.”
“Hold your horses before you spend all your money.”
“Hold your horses — let’s think about this first.”


“Hold your horses! I’m still talking.”
“Hold your horses before you quit your job.”
“Hold your horses — we need more information.”

Do you make decisions quickly, or do you take your time?

Have you ever been too excited and someone told you to calm down?

एकपटक चतुरे कामको खोजीमा हिँड्यो। ऊ घुम्दै फिर्दै राजदरबारमा पुग्यो। संयोगबस उसले दरबारमा काम पायो। सजिलैसँग काम पायो, त्यो त राम्रै भयो; तर काम थियो तबेलाको। चतुरेले तबेलाकै भएपनि काम गर्न मन्जुर गर्यो किनभने उसले कहिल्यै राजालाई देखेको थिएन । उसको राजालाई देख्ने धोको थियो । 
चतुरेको सोचाइ थियो दरबारमा काम गरे राजालाई सजिलै देख्न पाइन्छ। तर संयोग मिलेन, महिनौ काम गर्दा पनि उसले राजालाई देख्न पाएन ।...............................................................

Company culture matters. A common reason people are motivated to switch jobs is a desire for a different company culture. When employees fit into the culture of a company, they not only feel more comfortable, like they are at their home away from home, but they are happier, more engaged, and more productive. 

In this episode, I walk you through questions to identify the type of culture you want in a company. You'll hear some of the most memorable and shocking answers I've heard from clients as we've talked about company culture. Then, I share steps that you can take to find companies with attractive cultures. Finally, I share what to do during a job interview to detect the culture of the company. You'll learn what to look for and questions to ask your interviewers. The episode concludes with definitions for nine idioms and phrases for English language learners.
