The verb 离 indicates the distance between two points. 
It often occurs before adjectives like 远（yuǎn） and 近（jìn）. 

ān nà jiā lí shū diàn hěn yuǎn 。 
安娜家离书店很远。Anna's house is far from the bookstore.

ān nà jiā lí ɡōnɡ sī hěn jìn 。 
安娜家离公司很近。Anna's house is very close to the office.

Sometimes it takes the verb-object phrase 有(yǒu)……米(mǐ) to indicate the exact distance.

wǒ jiā lí xué xiào yǒu 400 mǐ 。 
我家离学校有400米。My home is 400 meters away from my school.

wǒ jiā lí chāo shì yǒu 500 mǐ 。 
我家离超市有500米。My home is 500 meters from the supermarket.

chāo shì lí xué xiào yǒu 100 mǐ 。 
超市离学校有100米。The supermarket is 100 meters from the school.

In a perfect world, interviewers would give you feedback on the spot and contact you after your interview with their decision and advice. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen, so it’s up to you to ask for feedback. In this episode, you’ll learn how to ask for feedback in an interview tactfully and effectively. 

People often don't ask for feedback in an interview for many reasons. Perhaps they don't know they can ask for it. Maybe they assume they won't get an honest answer. Or, a candidate might fear it is inappropriate to ask for feedback in an interview. 

Asking for feedback in an interview is not only appropriate, but it is also an excellent growth opportunity and presents a chance to clarify misunderstandings and land a job. 

While we all know that the best talkers do not always make the best employees, organizational psychologist Adam Grant points out, “Job interviews favor candidates who are the best talkers.” So, in this episode, you'll get a list of 11 common communication mistakes in an interview that you can share with your mock interviewer. You'll also get four suggestions on how you can ask for feedback in an interview.

The episode concludes with a list of definitions for idioms and phrases for those who want to build their English vocabulary.

How Do You Greet People

Last time we discussed ‘sicknesses’. Today we are talking about an almost equally annoying topic which is ‘learning Chinese’. All of the tone struggles, countless characters and diverse accents can sometimes really give Chinese learners the headache. Let’s talk it all through and hopefully it eases up our frustration. 

Note: This podcast is intended for language learning ONLY. Not for promoting or criticizing any political party or ideology. Let’s keep it friendly and accessible to all :)

Also, all of the experiences are the hosts’ own experiences so please do your own research if you need more information.
