How do you cope with stress? I go for nature walks alone when I am stressed. I enjoy feeling small beneath the trees. My problems seem to shrink in size. I also pay attention to the sound of the leaves blowing in the breeze, the birds singing and the water from the river sloshing up against the river bank. This grounds me and reminds me that the world continues to go on despite my anxious feelings. I would love to learn how you cope with stress. Especially when I need alternatives for rainy days. :)

Discuss the article: Memo From the Boss: You’re a Vegetarian Now

What do you think about today's society going vegetarian and vegan. Just a decade ago the only non-meat options one could find at restaurants and work functions were salads. Now, meat eaters are finding it difficult to find dishes with meat. What are the advantages and disadvantages of our society changing diets? Do you think this is just a fad?

What do you look for in a Professional Teacher?

I recently just had a lesson with a student preparing for the IELTS speaking exam. One of her speaking prompts was to explain an interesting website. She chose to speak about italki of course! One of the things we discussed is the most unique benefits italki offers students which is the ability to choose the teacher rather than be assigned one.

I would like to know: What do you look for in a Professional Teacher? What are the first things that draw you in to booking a lesson with a specific teacher?

Here are some things to think about when discussing this question:

1. Does it matter to you if the teacher is a native speaker?

2. Do you take into consideration other students' reviews?

3. Are you on a budget? Do you agree with the phrase "you get what you pay for?"

4. What do you look for in a teacher's video?

I am thinking of taking some language lessons myself and would like to know your opinion. I would also like to be certain that my teacher profile accurately represents me and what my potential students are looking for in a teacher. Thank you for your comments my friends. Happy language learning!

Would you rather... Would you rather own a cat or a dog? Explain why.

Are cubicles or open offices better?

In this article, there was a study done to see if removing walls in offices (cubicles) made for a better work environment. Having the luxury of working from home, I have always been turned off by the idea of working in an office cubicle. The results discussed in this article surprised me.

Please read the article and discuss what you did or did not understand. What are your thoughts about the findings and how do you think you would be able to work and exist in this work environment?
