Imagine waking up one day... and not being able to see anything but pure white.
In today's video, we dive deep into Blindness (Ensayo sobre la ceguera) by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago — a chilling story where a mysterious epidemic robs people of their sight... and reveals the darkest corners of human nature.

What happens when the rules of society collapse? What would YOU do to survive?
Stay with us as we explore this haunting and thought-provoking novel that still feels more relevant than ever.

What If The Whole World Went Blind? | Intermediate Spanish Podcast (B1)

WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR LAST JOB? - Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the
organisation. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons. 
DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF SUCCESSFUL? - You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.
WHAT DO CO-WORKERS SAY ABOUT YOU? - Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work.

All about Russian language 🌟

Уже 6 месяцев

LOUISE: Hey, Julia … Look at those desserts! How about baking 
some cookies today?
JULIA: Hmm … Yeah, that’s a great idea! While we’re here, let’s 
pick up the ingredients.
JULIA: OK, what do we need?
LOUISE: The recipe calls for flour, sugar and butter. Oh, and we 
also need eggs and chocolate chips.
JULIA: Why don’t you get the dairy ingredients? You’ll find those 
in the refrigerated section in the back of the store. I’ll get 
the dry ingredients — they’re in aisle 10.
LOUISE: Great! Let’s meet at the checkout.
JULIA: OK. See you there.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• How about is a casual way to suggest doing an activity. Notice that “how about” is followed 
by an “-ing” verb.
• Hmm … Notice that Julia pauses for a moment. “Hmm” is an expression used to think about 
something first before speaking.
• That’s a great idea! Notice the emphasis on “great.” Julia has thought about it and then 
decided that she really does want to bake cookies.
• The recipe calls for is a way of saying “the recipe says we need.” The phrase “call for” can 
also be used to talk about the weather forecast. (They’re calling for rain.)
• … flour, sugar and butter. Notice that this is a list, so there are short pauses between each 
item. Notice also that each ingredient is stressed because this information is important.
• Why don’t you … This expression is used to ask someone to do something. It can also be 
used to give advice — but in this case two friends are deciding on who does which task.
• Aisle Notice the silent “s” in aisle. An aisle is an orderly lane in a supermarket, with shelved 
products on both sides. Each aisle has a number, so that it is easy to find what you need.
