This podcast is dedicated to the cultural differences that I faced when I moved to France and the gap between spoken French and the one taught in school as second language.

Phrasal verbs are very common in English, especially in informal contexts. 
 They are made up of a verb and a particle or, sometimes, two particles. The particle often changes the meaning of the verb. Today let's learn 5 simple phrasal verbs with "look".

5 simple phrasal verbs with "look" 

In this episode, I tackle those three little words that often drive English Language Learners crazy: at, on, and in. Since many languages don't have the same prepositions, their usage rules can be particularly confusing. I'll explain a simple way to remember how to use them, and provide clear examples to help you understand their application. I hope you find this episode helpful and that it gets you closer to mastering these commonly confusing words.

Common mistakes made by English Language Learners - at,on, and in

我为什么回想起来讲这个故事呢？ 说起来它和一次挺有意思的经历有关，让我记忆犹新。

在我的孩子学说话的阶段，大概是宝宝一岁左右的时候，我整天工作很忙，孩子暂时由我爱人的父母照顾。有一天，我下班回家，很惊喜地发现孩子会喊爸爸，奶奶和爷爷。我伤心地发现孩子不会喊妈妈。于是，在陪宝宝睡觉的时候，我就给他讲了两遍这个故事。结果是，他听完两边魔音一样的“妈妈，妈妈，妈妈”之后，学会了叫“妈妈”！ 对于我和宝宝而言， 这是一次特别神奇的经历。 这么多年过去了，我依然深有感触。那对于语言学习者来讲，设计相应的故事是多么地意义非凡。下面来一起分享这个在中国家喻户晓的故事吧！


小蝌蚪找妈妈（中文版）

春暖花开的季节，池塘里迎来了一群可爱的小蝌蚪。他们有着大大的脑袋，圆圆的，黑黑的身体和一条细细的尾巴。

这群蝌蚪们在水里不停地游啊游啊，原来他们在很努力地找自己的妈妈。可是，他们出生后从来没见过他们的妈妈。谁会是他们的妈妈呢？



他们游啊游.....有一个虾妈妈带着一群小虾游过他们身边，小蝌蚪们不约而同地兴奋地喊道，”妈妈，妈妈！妈妈，妈妈！" 虾妈妈笑着对小蝌蚪们说，“孩子，我不是你们的妈妈，你们的妈妈头上有一对大大的眼睛。”

他们又继续往前游，游啊游，然后，看见一群鱼从他们面前游过，他们看见金鱼妈妈有大大的眼睛，以为她就是妈妈。于是，他们就大喊，“妈妈，妈妈，妈妈，妈妈”！金鱼妈妈，停下来笑着对他们说，“孩子，我不是你们的妈妈，你们的妈妈有着大大的嘴巴。”

小蝌蚪们好失望啊！哦！妈妈，妈妈，妈妈，妈妈您在哪里，我们来找您啦！

他们只好继续地向前游，游着游着，他们发现自己的身体发生了变化，他们不约而同地长出了一对腿。哇！好兴奋啊！

妈妈，妈妈，您看见我们了吗？我们长出两条腿了！

这时候他们遇到了鸭妈妈带着她的孩子们在游泳，哇！大大的嘴巴，两条腿，肯定是我们的妈妈啦！于是，他们齐声喊着，“妈妈，妈妈，我们来找您了！” 鸭妈妈，看着他们笑着说，“孩子们，我不是你们的妈妈，你们的妈妈，有四条腿，而且还穿着漂亮的绿色衣裳。”

他们继续一路找妈妈，这时候，他们惊奇地发现，他们又长出了一对前腿，他们高兴极了，哇！ 我们有四条腿了，我们有四条腿了! 妈妈，妈妈，看来看您的孩子来吧！我们已经长大了。

这时，一只很神气的大青蛙，跳在了他们身边的大大的一片荷叶上，慈祥而骄傲地望着他们，说到，“过来孩子们，我就是你们的妈妈，我很高兴你们已经长成小青蛙了，快来跟妈妈一起学本领来吧！”

这群小青蛙们仰望着这只大青蛙，只见她头上有大大的眼睛，大大的嘴巴，有着碧绿色的皮肤，四条腿。果真是妈妈！！！！

他们快乐地喊着，“妈妈，妈妈，妈妈，妈妈！” 然后，争先恐后地跳到妈妈站立的荷叶上。青蛙妈妈，给了每一个小青蛙一个拥抱，然后就，开始教他们学习本领了。

从今以后，青蛙一家每天都在一起，别提多开心了！！

课文十 《大还是小》

有时候，我觉得自己很大。
我自己穿衣服的时候，我自己系鞋带的时候，我觉得自己很大。
有时候，我觉得自己很小。
我够不到按钮的时候，我听到雷声喊妈妈的时候，我觉得自己很小。
有时候，我希望自己不要长大。
更多的时候，我盼着自己快点儿长大。

课文十：大还是小 big or small

Landing your dream job hinges on more than just qualifications and experience.  The ability to communicate effectively can be the tipping point between an "interviewee" and a "new hire."  Here's how preparation in business communication can propel you towards that coveted job offer:

1. Research is King:  Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to the company you're targeting.  Research their mission, values, and current projects.  This not only demonstrates genuine interest, but also allows you to tailor your responses and showcase how your skills align perfectly with their needs.

2. Craft Your Elevator Pitch:  Imagine a concise, impactful summary of your skills and experience.  This "elevator pitch" could be your first impression, so practice delivering it with confidence.  Focus on achievements and quantifiable results, leaving a lasting impression on potential employers.

3. Anticipate Interview Questions & Prepare Answers:  Common interview questions are a dime a dozen.  Research them online and prepare clear, concise responses that highlight your strengths and accomplishments.  Practice out loud to refine your delivery and ensure you come across as articulate and well-prepared.

4. Dress for Success:  First impressions matter, and your attire speaks volumes.  Research the company culture and dress accordingly.  A professional appearance conveys respect and demonstrates your commitment to the role.

5. Body Language Matters:  Beyond words, nonverbal cues significantly influence how you're perceived.  Maintain eye contact, project confidence through good posture, and avoid fidgeting.  These subtle signals communicate professionalism and enthusiasm.
