MARGARET: Mr. Wilson, I’d like you to meet 
Dr. Edward Smith.
MR. WILSON: It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.
DR. SMITH: Pleasure to meet you, too.
MARGARET: Dr. Smith is an economist. He just finished
writing a book on international trade.
MR. WILSON: Oh? That’s my field, too. I work for the 
United Nations.
DR. SMITH: In the Development Program, by any chance?
MR. WILSON: Yes. How did you guess?
DR. SMITH: I’ve read your articles on technical assistance. 
They’re excellent

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Mr. Wilson, I’d like you … Notice the rising intonation on “Mr. Wilson,” which is used 
to address someone. Listen for the “d” in “I’d like.” This means I would like, which is 
very different from I like. (“I’d like” means the same as “I would like” or “I want.”)
• Dr. Smith is an economist. Notice the stress on “economist.” This content word has 
new information, so it is emphasized. There are four syllables in “economist,” with the 
stress on the second syllable (e-CON-o-mist).
• He just finished writing … “just” means the very recent past. “Just” is usually used 
with a simple past verb because the action is complete. However, it can also be used 
with the present perfect (He’s just finished writing …).
• Development program. Since these two words make a compound noun, the main 
stress falls on “development.”
• By any chance? Means the same as “possibly.” Notice the rising intonation, which is 
used in yes/no questions to confirm that something is true.

English Version
"이에요, 예요." Song

"이에요, 예요." means "It is" or "This is"~
We use it to explain something~
Names, jobs, or the name of an object~
When you talk to someone, it’s used!

"I am a student." is "나는 학생이에요"~
"My friend is a doctor." is "내 친구는 의사예요"~
If there’s a final sound, use "이에요"~
If there’s no final sound, use "예요"~

"이에요, 예요." – don’t get confused~
If there’s a final sound, it’s "이에요"!
If there’s no final sound, it’s "예요"!

"It's a bag" is "가방이에요" – that's correct~
"It's a rose" is "장미예요" – that's correct~

What’s a final sound.
 Let’s find out together~
"책" has a final sound, so it’s "이에요"!
"바나나" has none, so it’s "예요"!

"이에요, 예요." – don’t get confused~
If there’s a final sound, it’s "이에요"!
If there’s no final sound, it’s "예요"

Now you know "이에요, 예요." so well~
Singing makes learning so easy!

감사합니다.

Mastering Confidence: How to look confident in an important meeting?

Confidence is essential for success in any high-stakes meeting. It’s not just about outward appearances; it’s deeply rooted in your self-image. Your self-image is the mental picture you hold of yourself – your skills, strengths, and values.

A negative self-image can manifest in weak communication, a hesitant tone, and unconfident body language. These traits can hinder your ability to express yourself effectively and project your worth in important meetings/ job interviews / IELTS speaking tests.

By working on your self-image, you can cultivate the inner confidence that translates into powerful communication. This involves recognizing your strengths, challenging negative self-talk, and building a positive belief system about your abilities.

My mindset coaching programs help individuals awaken their inner success potential. Through targeted training, I empower clients to overcome limiting beliefs and develop the confidence necessary to thrive in demanding situations.

Are you ready to unlock your full potential in meetings? Dive into this transformative journey and prepare for change!

Mastering Confidence: How to look confident in an important meeting?

Toddlers in the UK get almost half of their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), according to a new study.

Researchers also found that 7-year-olds get 59% of their calories from UPFs.

UPFs include things like ice cream and cookies, but also ham, sausages, flavored yogurts, breakfast cereals and some breads.

Eating too much of these types of food has been linked to an increased risk of a number of different health conditions, including obesity, diabetes and heart problems.

The study looked at food diaries completed by the parents of more than 2,500 children aged 21 months, and 600 children aged 7.

The most common UPFs that toddlers ate were flavored yogurts and whole-grain breakfast cereals.

Although these are seen as quite healthy choices, they are still ultra-processed. They're usually industrially produced and contain ingredients that most people wouldn't have in their kitchens, like emulsifiers.

The researchers said children who eat more UPFs as toddlers are more likely to eat a lot of them as they get older, so choosing the right foods for young children is important.

Previous research has found that teenagers in the UK may get more than 60% of their calories from UPFs.

However, the study's lead author, Rana Conway, said it's not only parents that are to blame.

She said these foods "are often cheaper than the foods parents would like to give their children, such as fresh fruit and vegetables.

"Also, despite labels suggesting they're a healthy choice, ultra-processed foods marketed for children often contain too much sugar and salt. This makes it harder for parents to make healthy choices."

Studies done in the US have found similar problems with the diets of children there.
