UK TALKS WITH LIZ

If you're doing online dating in the English-speaking world, you might see people talking about their "icks."

This is a slang word — icks are things that give you "a sudden feeling that you dislike someone" or are no longer attracted to them, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

Icks are not always really big things. Being rude to an employee at a store, for example, might be an ick for someone, or eating with your mouth open.

People will often say they "got the ick" when they noticed something about a person that made them feel they were no longer attracted to them.

If they get to that point, it may be hard for them to feel attracted again!

If you're looking through dating profiles on an app, the most common ick is people who are negative or bitter.

That's according to a survey for Forbes Health. One thousand Americans who had used a dating app in the last year were asked about their dating habits.

And about 70% said people who are negative or bitter in their bios, perhaps about a previous relationship, give them the ick.

Other common icks include people with edited photos, people who are too interested in their possessions, and people with bad spelling or grammar.

And when using the apps, daters often make their decisions quite quickly.

According to the survey, the average person takes about two-and-a-half minutes to make a decision about whether they like a person or not.

So what makes daters attractive to others? Having a profile that shows a good sense of humor is a good thing, according to 80% of people.

The same number said they like people who have hobbies and interests, while many others like people who are interested in travel — or who show a pet in their photo!

A Must Skill To Have As An IELTS Speaking Performer! And For Corporate Employees. (read on, the gift is down the page)! 

This is my recording of preparing a student to succeed as an IELTS speaking taker.

Here are some transcribed ideas from the podcast:

1. Mindset is the key.

What you think about your success will dictate what you say, how you say it, it will influence your fluency, your grammar, your vocabulary!

It all starts off WITH YOU THINKING : "I AM A BRIGHT INDIVIDUAL'!

I am a bright individual,

I feel that I am a bright individual,

I possess the qualities of a bright individual.

I am the owner of being the bright individual.

2. How I prepared for the IELTS test and what I did to achieve 8.5 and then 9.0 in the speaking section?

3. You have the technical skill and the mindset skill.

4. Who are you competing with?

5. What were my other successes with this strategy in 2018 and in 2022?

6. The acceptance of ideas talked about and moving on to further preparation.

My student, I decided to share it with you because you cannot miss to go into IELTS or ANY ENDEVOIR  (job interview preparation, business English) without this CRUCIAL ELEMENT called the mindset!

Listen to it few times, let it germinate in you and if you want to take it further - grab the book called: The Magic Of Thinking Big By David Schwartz - you'll get business advices on how to succeed in the corporate world.

My students are presidents of companies, VPs of departments, business owners and they ALL share the same thing - what I talk about in the podcast.
