6 usos de "Dar" | Nivel B1/B2

Не позволяй душе лениться
Не позволяй душе лениться!
Чтоб в ступе воду не толочь,
Душа обязана трудиться
И день и ночь, и день и ночь! 

Гони ее от дома к дому,
Тащи с этапа на этап,
По пустырю, по бурелому
Через сугроб, через ухаб!

Не разрешай ей спать в постели
При свете утренней звезды,
Держи лентяйку в черном теле
И не снимай с нее узды!

Коль дать ей вздумаешь поблажку,
Освобождая от работ,
Она последнюю рубашку
С тебя без жалости сорвет.

А ты хватай ее за плечи,
Учи и мучай дотемна,
Чтоб жить с тобой по-человечьи
Училась заново она.

Она рабыня и царица,
Она работница и дочь,
Она обязана трудиться
И день и ночь, и день и ночь!

Nowadays, conference calls are the norm. Whether your team members live within a 30-minute radius of one another or live on different continents, you’ll likely conduct all meetings over conference calls. 

By now, you know some of the perils of conference calls. Someone forgets to mute themselves, and you hear them breathing or eating their lunch, someone forgets to unmute themselves when they start talking, someone is talking, and then their kid or spouse barges in their office making noise. No matter what unusual situation unfolds during a conference call, someone has to manage the conversation and make it as effective as possible. 

In this episode, you will learn how to lead conference calls. We’ll focus on audio conference calls, not video conference calls, which deserve their own episode.

Merhaba Türkçe 

Hospitality in Turkey: Proverbs and Tradition

Hay un experimento clásico que pone a un voluntario en el dilema de decidir qué hacer con un vagón que avanza descontrolado hacia cinco trabajadores que no pueden verlo. El voluntario observa la escena desde lo alto de un puente junto a otra persona. Si empuja a esta persona a las vías, morirá, pero detendrá el vagón y salvará cinco vidas. Cuando el experimento se realiza con personas que hablan dos idiomas y responden en su lengua materna, el veinte por ciento decide que sacrificar a una persona es aceptable para salvar a cinco. Cuando responden en su segundo idioma, la cifra sube al treinta y tres por ciento. El efecto se explica porque, cuando se habla una lengua extranjera, normalmente tomamos decisiones menos emocionales y más pragmáticas.

FLO TALKS 

Teacher Smith and Den were having a natural, unplanned conversation about Den’s journey to becoming fluent in English. Den reflected on how he once struggled but improved by immersing himself in English-speaking environments and practicing regularly. Over time, his confidence grew, and now, to Teacher Smith’s admiration, Den has even become an English teacher himself. They shared a laugh about how fluent he sounds today and marvelled at his impressive progress.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【追星】的话题。
这个星期网上的热门话题是王心凌。她是一名歌手。十多年前她非常火，因为她的长相甜美，而且歌曲和舞蹈很少女，收获了不少粉丝，特别是男粉丝。上个星期五她参加的一档综艺节目《乘风破浪的姐姐》开播了。今年39岁的她穿着当年的少女裙子，唱着那首经典的歌曲《爱你》。熟悉的歌词和舞蹈一下子勾起了很多人的青春回忆。于是，她又火了，上了热搜。
网上出现很多这样的视频：她的男粉丝听到她的歌声都忍不住跟着一起唱起来，跳起来。更夸张的是，很多人为了支持他们的偶像王心凌，开始买芒果超媒的股票。芒果超媒就是制作这个节目的公司。还有公司发布公告,要求公司员工为王心凌投票，因为老板是王心凌的忠实粉丝。在你们的国家有这样的疯狂追星的现象吗？留言告诉我吧。
最后我们来听一听这首非常火的歌曲《爱你》
如果你突然打了个喷嚏 那一定就是我在想你
如果半夜被手机吵醒 啊 那是因为我关心
常常想你说的话 是不是别有用心
明明很想相信 却又忍不住怀疑 在你的心里 
我是否就是唯一 爱就是有我常烦着你
ho baby 情话多说一点 想我就多看一眼
表现多一点点 让我能真的看见oh bye 少说一点
想陪你不只一天 多一点让我心甘情愿 爱你
