The Adventures of Odyssea- Ch 2.1- Circes

建议同学们先听，如果有听不懂的地方再看文本。

1）那个游戏告诉我们：
      A.要平等待人
      B.交际是一种艺术
      C.朋友应该相互帮助
      D.不同的朋友决定不同的你

2）“近朱者赤，近墨者黑”的意思主要是：
      A.做事情要专心
      B.朋友会让你变得更好
      C.人们易受周围人的影响
      D.要虚心学习别人的长处

3）根据上文，可以知道什么？
      A.要信任朋友
      B.交友须谨慎
      C.不要自寻烦恼
      D.要有怀疑精神

听力内容：
       几年前，我参加了一个主题为“创造财富”的论坛。在讨论会上，一位发言人在演说过程中请听众做个游戏。他说：“请大家拿出一页纸，然后在纸上写下和你相处时间最多的6个朋友，也可以说是与你关系最亲密的6个朋友，记下他们每个人的月收入。然后，算出他们月收入的平均数。这个平均值便能反映出你个人月收入的多少。”
　　后来，我认识到了这个游戏的本质意义，那就是交际的力量，即结交朋友的重要性。中国有句老话：“近朱者赤，近墨者黑。” 它所讲的道理是一样的，即择友的重要性。朋友的影响力非常大，可以潜移默化地影响一个人的一生。
　　在这里，我并不想告诉大家如何去选择朋友。我想强调的是，如果你想在人生和事业上取得成功，必须小心谨慎地结交朋友。
　　如果你最亲密的朋友是公司的高级主管，那么你们在一起时所谈论的主要内容一定是关于如何管理和经营的；如果你最亲密的朋友是公司的职员，那么你们在一起时谈论的主要话题一定是关于如何工作的；如果你最亲密的朋友是房地产商，那么你们谈论的话题一定会是关于房地产的……
　　如果下一次你和朋友一起聊天儿，请记下你们谈论的主要话题，到时你就会明白这句话的重要意义。如果你想展翅高飞，那么请你多和雄鹰为伍，并成为其中的一员。

The №1 killer of any language fluency and personal success in a job interview or IELTS speaking.

If you want to succeed in your IELTS speaking performance - having more ideas to bring to the table or if you are a job interview performer - sound more natural and stay on the point without being stuck - you want to listen to this potentially life changing podcast.

What might it be, you are wondering? What is the topic?

It's quite simple, and we are all told this by language tutors: confidence... We are told "we all need to become confident."  Is this right? Self-confidence is game changer!

Since I am a second language learner, which means I am going through the same steps as my students do, and I can understand them quite well but if I was told to become confident when learning a language - it would seem quite vague, would it be the same for you? 

Teachers tell us to be confident, but how can we be?! How do I be confident? 

What is confidence? What is it made of?

These questions are never answered because the 'confidence field' is too vague and broad, and sadly, it's overlooked as the main, foundational ingredient for someone's change!

Listen to the podcast; within it, you'll find a massive bonus that will amplify your learning and can inspire you to sel-find ideas you've never dreamed of. Give it a shot; you might like it.

🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

If you’re a non-native English-speaking manager, you’ve likely felt it:

👉 You know what you want to say…
But in the moment, the words vanish. Doubt creeps in. Confidence slips away.

The truth is — language and confidence are deeply connected.
How you feel when you speak matters just as much as the words you choose.

Try this 1-minute confidence reset before your next meeting:

✨ Close your eyes
✨ Inhale slowly (4 seconds)
✨ Hold (4 seconds)
✨ Exhale gently (6 seconds)
✨ Repeat 3 times

Then say quietly to yourself:
💬 “My voice matters. I speak with clarity.”

🌿 Confidence doesn’t mean speaking perfectly. It means showing up — grounded, clear, and present.

If you’re ready to feel more confident in your communication, I’d love to help.

📩 DM me anytime — let’s build that confidence together.

🧠 Confidence & Communication — What’s the real connection?

"Менять/ся" can have many prefixes, but the most popular question is about "из-"

All about Russian language 🌟

менять/ся | изменять/ся 

you prepare for IELTS speaking in the same way you prepare to get a raise or to be promoted. You do a lot of exceptional job with a spirit of enthusiasm and you'll find in time that others never had your thoughts, they never felt as excited as you and they were not that keen on achiving the goal, just had a simple wish. What makes you different? IT'S THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES AND THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH YOU ARE GOING AFTER YOUR DREAMS THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
