If you say that a task was "plain sailing" then it's easy to complete. You didn't have any difficulty doing it. Of course, you could also say that a task was not plain sailing, meaning that it was a bit of a challenge!

I left Canada to teach English in the Czech Republic in 1995. There are three chapters that cover my experience there which include meeting my first wife. Ten years later, I was in India on a new teaching job getting divorced. I met and dated Marta.

Hola, aquí te cuento el origen de la intención de ver todo con ojos de turista. A veces, es más fácil notar lo que está a nuestro alrededor cuando estamos viajando o en un lugar nuevo.

So you have answered the SIX KEY QUESTIONS from episode 2. Well done. Now do this.

In this episode I talk about the importance of thinking about key situations and activities from your adult life and how most people simply don't consider them to be important or relevant to their job search.

In many aspects of life (school, university, charity work, work experience and sports clubs) we have found ourselves in situations where we have used key skills which are useful in the workplace.

I talk about categorizing these experiences into People, Project and Profit. And I suggest lots of questions to ask yourself to get you thinking about these situations and how important they are.

On May 10th, we celebrate all the mothers in the world. It is very important in our Mexican culture. Since pre-Hispanic times, love for the mother was present even in the Aztec culture. This poem, written in Nahuatl from the time of the great Nezahualcóyotl, is still present today.

Entrevista a una enfermera: experiencias de vida y muerte.

Buongiorno e buon lunedì!


Il sole splende già caldo,
La mia giornata inizia presto;
e, questa volta, vi lascio delle espressioni di uso quotidiano e comune a tutti gli italiani, da nord a sud.
EccoLE qui:

Allora:
Mi raccomando : non fare tardi, eh!
Faccio fatica a capire le persone in questo periodo….
La cucina romana non mi piace per niente!!!
A chi lo dici!!!!
Muoio dalla voglia di partire!
Più che altro Roma è una città difficile e io sono invecchiata!

La prossima volta che ci vediamo proviamo ad usarle con la giusta intonazione.

Vi auguro una buona settimana .
