There is an interesting phenomenon in my country is that most people really like exercising outside instead of indoor activities. So, the sports which require less equipments are quite popular. Among them, badminton can be the most attractive sport. A shuttlecock, a pair of rackets are all for playing badminton with your family or friends. You only need to find a place without wind, then enjoy the game until sweating a lot. If you have a serious badminton game, a net is essential. Dauring a badminton game, people run back and forth and try them best to hit the birdie back over the net. As for the children, the game can really help them grow taller. After around an hour fully exercising, everyone feels relaxed. So, when you walk aound in my country, you can often see people playing badminton in a park, a square or just a place near their apartment. Base on the popularity, we had a lot of world champions in the Olympic games, such as Lindan. Recently, there is a tend that the sport like pickleball which blances fun and exercise become more and more popular in my country.

Most people fail in English not because they lack skill — but because everything they learned disappears the moment pressure appears. Job interviews. Important meetings. Evaluations. The mind panics. Scripts collapse. Memory blanks. What nobody tells you is this: You’ve already succeeded in hard situations before — just not in English. You already know how to focus, adapt, recover, lead, and perform. The problem is not learning more. The problem is failing to transfer what already works. In this short recording, I share: why techniques break under stress why smart, capable professionals freeze and how past success can become the foundation for future confidence This isn’t language teaching. It’s perception, identity, and performance under pressure. If English matters to your future — 10 minutes here may save you years of frustration.

There's one phrase in English that unlocks almost every polite request: "Could you...?" It's simple. It's versatile. And once you know how to use it, you'll use it every single day. Need someone to repeat something? "Could you say that again?" Need help with a task? "Could you help me with this?" Making a request at work? "Could you send me that file?" In this week's episode of Fresh Start English, I break down this structure step by step — so you can make polite requests confidently in any situation. One phrase. A hundred uses.

You don't need perfect English to communicate clearly. You just need the right tools. One of the hardest things for new learners? Asking for help. You don't know how to phrase it. You're worried about sounding rude. Or you're just nervous. In this week's episode of Fresh Start English, I'm giving you three simple, polite ways to ask for help in any situation — at work, at home, with strangers. They're clear, they're practical, and you can use them today. Because the goal isn't perfection. It's confidence.

Starting over doesn't mean starting from zero. A lot of English learners feel embarrassed when they don't understand something. They freeze, nod along, or pretend they got it. But fluency doesn't come from pretending — it comes from asking for clarity confidently. In the first episode of Fresh Start English, we talk about four simple phrases to say "I don't understand" — without shame, without fear. Because asking for help isn't a weakness. It's how you actually learn. 5 minutes. No pressure. Just a fresh start.

This is the second part of Ivan Bunin’s “Rusya” : a calm, nostalgic story about love, small moments in life, and memories that stay with us.

Do these two sentences mean the same? I'm just feeling so much. I'm experiencing intense emotions.
