DIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE 🎧📚

Dialogue for Beginners 📚 (Day # 22)

En esta autobiografía la autora relata con una prosa excepcional las diferentes etapas de su vida. Su niñez y adolescencia en las montañas de Idaho con su familia mormona. Los cuales se preparaban para el fin del mundo. Tara no asistió a la escuela y en cambio tuvo una mínima educación en casa. A los 17 años, imaginando un futuro diferente, tocó las puertas de una educación que sin que ella lo imaginara la llevaría a cuestionarse quién en realidad era ella.

最近、ドイツのスーパーでは小麦粉や油、パスタが売り切れになっています。油については揚げ物に使うひまわり油は売り切れていますが、オリーブオイルはあります。小麦粉や油を置いている棚には「1人２個まで」と書いた紙が貼ってあります。
この状況がなぜ起こっているのか、私には詳しい理由がわかりません。戦争のせいでウクライナやロシアから商品が来ていないからかもしれないし、緊急の場合に備えて買いだめをしている人が多いからかもしれません。
２年前にパンデミックが始まった時にも小麦粉とトイレットペーパーが売り切れになりました。
幸い、私の家には去年イタリアでもらったオリーブオイルとパスタがたくさんあるので困っていません。
みなさんの国ではどうですか？

Especial Halloween: Miedos de los españoles 👻🎃


🔥 Here’s the truth nobody told you: you will never improve your English the way you think. 

In fact, the very goal you’ve set — ‘I want to learn English’ — is the biggest trap that keeps millions of smart professionals stuck, frustrated, and silent.

Today, I’ll share with you what I discovered after 20,000 classes with students from 70 countries — the single shift that will transform how you learn, how you speak, and how you perform in English. 

Once you hear it, you’ll never look at your English journey the same way again. Get ready — because this might just save you years of wasted effort and finally unlock your global voice.

Comment the word GOAL below or send me a DM, and I’ll help you define one clear, specific communication goal that will instantly make your English practice 10x more effective.

As a bonus, I’ll also send you my ‘Clarity Map for English Goals’ — a simple one-page guide that shows you how to replace vague goals like ‘I want to learn English’ with laser-focused ones like ‘I want to run a confident client meeting in English.

🔥 Here’s the truth nobody told you: you will never improve your English the way you think. 

Many people don't know what to do with their old clothes. Some give them to charity, others get them repaired — but what about clothes that can't be repaired?

These clothes usually end up in the garbage. A 2017 report estimated that 83 million metric tons of clothes and shoes were thrown away in 2015, and this could increase to over 130 million metric tons by 2030.

Clothes are difficult to recycle because they're often made up of different components. Even a T-shirt that's 100% cotton may still have labels and threads made from other materials like polyester.

Separating those materials isn't easy, making any piece of clothing difficult to recycle.

But researchers at the University of Delaware believe they've found a new way to recycle blended fabrics, and it only takes 15 minutes.

They developed a process using chemicals and microwaves to break down polyester and spandex while leaving cotton and nylon intact. The nylon is then dissolved off the cotton using a simple solvent.

The broken down and dissolved components are then collected, and can be used to make polyester, spandex and nylon again. And while the remaining cotton isn't high quality, the researchers say it could be mixed with new cotton to make stronger recycled yarn, for example.

Erha Andini, who led the study, told The Washington Post that clothes companies aren't always clear about what's in their clothes. But a process like this can be used even if you don't know what your clothing is made from.

However, the researchers say it could be some time before their process is used on a large scale.

And Tasha Lewis from Ohio State University — who wasn't part of the research — told The Washington Post that while processes like this are good, they should be used as a last resort.

She said it's cheaper and simpler to just buy used clothes. She added that companies should also make clothes that last longer, and make them out of one type of fabric so they're easier to recycle.
