იდიომა "ყურების ჩამოყრა"  ნიშნავს დასევდიანებას, მოწყენას. To be down in the mouth. The illustration (by Kote Iantbelidze) describes the idiom in a very direct (to throw down the ears), humoristic way.

“Well I'm certainly not a photography geek, but I do like to take photos now and again using my smartphone camera. I remember about a year ago I went on a trip to Phu Quoc, which is a very beautiful island in the south of Vietnam, and famous for its amazing sunsets. 




I guess like most tourists, I really wanted to get that perfect shot of one of the island's famous sunsets. I remember, I first did some research online to try and find out the best spots to photograph the sunset on the island. After deciding on what I thought would be the best location, I made sure to get there early as I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity.




The sunset certainly wasn’t a letdown, and lived up to its reputation.

I don’t actually remember how many shots I took, but I’m sure it was at least a few dozen, and I just hoped that even a few of them would do it justice.

After I got back to my hotel room, I started going through all the photos I had taken on my phone, and there was one that really stood out. It was the perfect shot, and really captured the beauty of the sun setting over the beach, with the sea in the background. 




I felt proud as punch when i looked at it, and couldn’t wait to post it on my social media account, for the world to see. Within just a few minutes I started to receive lots of likes and complementary comments on the post, which really made me feel so proud of it.

American English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world. For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear. Try to use the same pronunciation, intonation, stress, pitch patterns, and linking that you find native English speakers use; record yourself and compare the differences.

So you have answered the SIX KEY QUESTIONS from episode 2. Well done. Now do this.

In this episode I talk about the importance of thinking about key situations and activities from your adult life and how most people simply don't consider them to be important or relevant to their job search.

In many aspects of life (school, university, charity work, work experience and sports clubs) we have found ourselves in situations where we have used key skills which are useful in the workplace.

I talk about categorizing these experiences into People, Project and Profit. And I suggest lots of questions to ask yourself to get you thinking about these situations and how important they are.

Saber x conhecer 

В этом выпуске мы узнаем, как живёт девушка на берегу озера. Что случилось с ней? 
Чтобы вы лучше поняли аудио, я оставлю текст внизу для практики чтения. 

Была ночь. Я вышла на улицу. Шёл дождь и дул ветер. Я хотела приготовить ужин, но у меня была только картошка. Я отварила картошку и приготовила чай. После ужина, я решила немного почитать потому что не хотела спать. Я взяла мою любимую книгу "Мастер и Маргарита" и начала читать. Я даже не заметила, как быстро пролетело время. Я думаю, что я читала около двух часов. Потом я уснула и проснулась на следующий день ранним утром. Я проснулась рано, потому что в доме было холодно. Я быстро надела тёплый свитер, тёплые носки и пошла подогреть чай. Я думаю, сегодня будет тихий и спокойный день.

It's a bold statement, but it's true. I personally touched more than 15 thousand students in my live classes, and not only that, I was there for them in times of need. 

The need wasn't to improve their English for a job interview or improve it for IELTS speaking. It was to uplift their spirits and be their assistant on this journey.

Most of you who read it have been learning English for 10+ years and are still struggling, so it isn't just to do with improving your English ability... It's something else, and it's hidden inside of you—your belief in yourself plays a major role!

What you think about yourself and how you see yourself is the key, and therefore, my podcast begins with the words of famous psychologist Emil Coué: "Every day, in every way, I am getting better, better, and better."
