NATASHA: What time is it? We’re going to be late!
TONY: It’s a quarter after seven. We’re on time. Don’t panic.
NATASHA: But I thought we had to be at the restaurant by 7:30 for 
the surprise party. We’ll never make it there with all this 
evening traffic.
TONY: Sure we will. Rush hour is almost over. Anyway, the party 
starts at 8:00. But I do need help with directions. Can you 
call the restaurant and ask them where we park our car?




LANGUAGE NOTES
• It’s a quarter after seven. This phrase is one of the most common ways of stating 
this time. It means: “It’s 15 minutes past 7:00.” Another possibility here is to simply 
say: “It’s seven fifteen.” In general you can say: “It’s a quarter past the hour.” How do 
we know the time of day? Look for context clues: “evening traffic.”
• In the dialog, Natasha and Tony are going to a surprise party. They need to be on time. 
Therefore there is an element of stress and urgency. When someone is stressed for 
time you can use expressions like: Don’t worry. / Don’t stress. / We’re fine. / We will 
be on time.
• Natasha thinks the surprise party begins at 7:30. There are two different ways to 
express this time. You may say simply “seven thirty” or “half past seven.”
• Rush hour is the time of day—usually in the morning and evening—when traffic is 
heavy because of people commuting to and from their workplace by bus, by car, by 
subway, on foot, etc.

As a Professional Coach focused on working with non-native English speakers preparing for interviews in English, I've seen lots of incorrect and counter-productive preparation.  

In this episode, I share a bit about what I've learned about HOW to efficiently prepare for an important interview in English.

How to *PREPARE* for an Interview in English 

El Jinete Negro es una de las leyendas más misteriosas de los Llanos Orientales de Colombia. La historia cuenta que, en vida, El Jinete Negro era un hacendado cruel que trataba mal a sus trabajadores y cometía muchas injusticias. Después de morir, su alma quedó condenada a vagar por los campos, montado en un caballo negro y vestido completamente de negro.

Se aparece especialmente en las noches sin luna, cuando el viento sopla fuerte. Los viajeros solitarios pueden escuchar el galope de su caballo, que se acerca rápidamente. Lo más terrorífico de El Jinete Negro es que no muestra su rostro; su sombrero y capa negra lo cubren por completo. A quienes se atreven a mirarlo, les arroja una maldición que los deja enfermos o los hace perderse sin rumbo.

Se dice que el galope de El Jinete Negro es una advertencia para quienes llevan una vida llena de maldad y egoísmo, y que aquellos que lo ven deben rezar inmediatamente para que el jinete no los persiga.
