From Dating to Marriage: 怎么用中文描述这些亲密关系？

A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.

Psychological Training for Language Learners (IELTS, Job Interviews, Confidence Building).

I started this recording with IELTS learners; however, it's something that ALL language learners CAN benefit from NOW.

It is something that isn't talked about by English teachers (very few teachers do), the psychological aspects of success behind IELTS speaking, job interview successes, and confident communication in English or other languages.

It is something about your head—how you think, feel, see, and hear; therefore, how you interpret reality—that is the key, the essential ingredient for a language learner's success and life overall.

Please allow me to guide you along the process of softening towards your goals (sometimes people are too strict and too intense about it).

My voice is gentle and deep, which will help you relax and feel at ease.

Enjoy the journey and have fun.

If you'll resonate with some of my ideas and you'll feel compelled to book my class, do so; no hesitation is needed; you are in safe hands with me.

Be well and feeeeel good now...
