Listen text,  then  read:

Сейча́с 7 часо́в. До́брое у́тро!  Я всегда́ встаю́ ра́но. Мне не нра́вится до́лго спать. 
На за́втрак я обы́чно ем ка́шу и пью апельси́новый  сок. Год наза́д я не знал, что тако́е ка́ша.
Но моя́ преподава́тельница ру́сского языка́ сказа́ла  мне, что э́то о́чень вку́сное и поле́зное блю́до.
По́сле за́втрака я принима́ю душ. Тепе́рь я гото́в рабо́тать. Наде́юсь, что сего́дня бу́дет хоро́ший день. 
*******************
Now it’s 7 o’clock. Good morning!
I always get up early. I don’t like sleeping long hours.
For breakfast, I usually eat porridge and drink orange  juice. One year ago, I didn’t know what porridge was. But my Russian language teacher told me that it’s a  very tasty and healthy dish.
After breakfast, I take a shower. Now I’m ready to work. I hope that today will be a good day. 
******************************
现在已经七点了。 早上好！
我总是早起。
我不喜欢睡很长时间。
早餐我通常吃粥，喝橙汁。
一年前，我还不知道粥是什么。
但我的俄语老师告诉我，这是一道非常美味又健康的食品。
早餐后，洗个澡。
现在我准备工作了。
我希望今天是美好的一天
**********************************
Il est maintenant 7 heures. Bonjour!
Je me lève toujours tôt.
Je n'aime pas dormir de longues heures.
Au petit-déjeuner, je mange habituellement du porridge et bois du jus d'orange.
Il y a un an, je ne savais pas ce qu'était le porridge.
Mais mon professeur de russe m’a dit que c’était un plat très savoureux et sain.
Après le petit-déjeuner, je prends une douche.
Maintenant, je suis prêt à travailler.
J'espère qu'aujourd'hui sera une bonne journée

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.

Épisode 4 : La famille de Julie

Have you ever gone to a mall and entered several stores only to purchase nothing? Do you think this is normal or do people normally buy something? Well I had this exact same question! I thought "how many people actually buy something when they enter a retail store?". I did a little research and that is the topic of this episode! It is spoken at a normal native speed and has some questions you can answer at the end. Please let me know what you think in the comments and what your answers are to those questions! Thanks for listening :)
