BOB: We’d like two tickets for the 3:30
show, please.
TICKET SALES: Here you go. Enjoy the movie!
[Inside the theater]
BOB: Would you mind moving over one,
so my friend and I can sit together?
WOMAN: No, not at all.
BOB: Thanks a lot!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• The 3:30 show Movies are shown at different times throughout the day. This refers to 
the movie that starts at 3:30. Notice the emphasis on 3:30.
• Enjoy the movie! Notice how the intonation rises on movie. This is said in a friendly 
way, and is followed by an exclamation point.
• Would you mind is a polite way to ask “Can you do something for me?” Notice the 
verb ends in “-ing.” Compare this structure to “Would you mind if I” plus a verb that 
ends in “-ed” (Would you mind if I opened the window?).
• Moving over one Here “one” is short for “one seat.”
• No, not at all is a way of saying “No, I don’t mind” or “I will be glad to.” Notice the 
answer to “Would you mind” is in the negative form.

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!

Journey to the castle

We live in a society where people look for relationships even without knowing who they are and what they want.  People go on dates and break up and they believe that it is another human being who can give them everlasting happiness. Today's podcast is so REAL that you shouldn't miss it.
Don't forget to date yourself before you go on dates.
