Mona and I discuss my theory that students of ANY language should read Haruki Murakami's novels.

Starting at 17:26, I explain the following vocabulary from the episode:

to get a feel for (something)
on the one hand; on the other hand
down to earth

013 - Why Language Learners Should Read Haruki Murakami

In questo episodio parleremo degli Italiani e lo sport, di quali sport praticano e di quali seguono. 

Italiano Chiaro - Cultura e Tradizioni 

Gli Italiani e lo Sport

Let me tell you something. In the world of business, communication is king. But forget fancy speeches and teleprompters. What you really need is the ability to connect, to think on your feet, and inspire – on the spot. That's where I come in.

As your business communication coach, I won't just train you to speak. I'll help you find your voice, the one that resonates with authenticity and power. We'll work together to build a foundation of strong business acumen. Numbers, trends, market forces – these aren't just dry facts, they're the fuel that propels your message.

But knowledge alone isn't enough. You have to be able to listen, truly listen, to the people you're speaking with. What are their concerns? Their aspirations? We'll hone your active listening skills, so you can build bridges, not walls, during those impromptu interactions.

Now, let's be honest, practice makes perfect. We won't just talk the talk, we'll walk the walk. Mock interviews, simulated meetings, even impromptu presentations on random business topics – we'll throw you curveballs, and you'll learn to hit them out of the park. We'll record your sessions, analyze them together, and help you refine your delivery, ditch the filler words, and find that clear, concise style that cuts through the noise.

Remember, confidence is key.  I'll be your guide, your cheerleader, pushing you to embrace challenges and see every unexpected speaking opportunity as a chance to grow. Because ultimately, it's not about having all the answers, it's about the passion and purpose behind them.

So, are you ready to step up, to take your communication skills to the next level?  Together, we can turn you into an impromptu speaking champion, someone who commands attention, inspires collaboration, and leaves a lasting impression. Let's get started.

今天想和大家聊一聊【高考】的话题。
大家知道高考吗？高考就是高三的学生为了上大学而参加的考试。在中国，高考的时间一般是6月7号、8号。
第一个原因是天气，每年这两天的天气是比较好的。第二个原因是寓意。6、7、8连着读，听起来像“录取吧”，这是大家对考生们的深深祝福。
高考成绩一般在考后15到20天出来，2022年高考成绩公布时间在6月25日前后。上周开始，全国各地的高考成绩都陆续出来了。在网上可以看到很多这样的视频：考生和考生家长看到成绩以后，激动得大哭起来。也有些考生成绩不理想，查完成绩以后非常低落。
那么，高考都考什么科目呢？在传统高考地区，高考考4门科目，即语文、数学、外语和理科综合或文科综合。在实行新高考模式的地区，高考是考6门科目，即语文、数学、外语，物理或历史，以及政治、地理、生物、化学四门当中的两门科目。
成绩出来后就要开始准备填志愿了，每个地方的时间不一样。每个学生可以填6-9个志愿，录取的原则是“分数优先，遵循志愿”。也就是优先录取分数高的学生，以及按照志愿的顺序录取。
祝福考生们能够顺利拿到理想的大学录取通知书，开始他们期待已久的大学生活。
你们国家的高考是什么样的呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
