Провинция, провинция, хранительница принципа, ни разу не видавшая ни бунта, ни войны... Исконные традиции остались лишь в провинции, а всякие столицы нам отсюда не видны.

Глубинный народ

Zorba le chat
Les archives de la police des animaux contiennent un dossier exceptionnel et peu connu. Tu sais qu’il existe des chiens policiers. Le plus célèbre d’entre eux est un chat. Eh oui ! Zorba le chat rêvait d’être policier. Il s’est présenté à l’examen de recrutement et a été renvoyé car ce n’était pas un chien. Mais Zorha est têtu ; il est revenu, déguisé en chien, et a réussi toutes les épreuves.
Sa première enquête s’annonce bien délicate : un voleur masqué a dérobé les bijoux de la reine des écureuils…

When you take your IELTS speaking test, how should you prepare for part 2? What is the best way to use the one minute you have to prepare? What is the best way to prepare? How should you use that 1 minute?

Firstly, think about the synonyms you could use. Paraphrasing is an important skill. For example, if the question asks you why did you like something, don’t say ‘I like it because’ but say, it’s my favorite because. And if the question asks you how old you were when you learned how to ride a bike, don’t say ‘I learned to ride a bike when I was a child’, but say, ‘I learned to cycle when I was a child.’ Also, if the examiner asks you if something is important, don’t say ‘I think it’s important,’ but say ‘I think it’s essential, or I think it’s vital.’

Use synonyms. Learn to paraphrase. And book a lesson with me so you can practice your IELTS speaking skills and get the band score you need.

第36卷 关于北海道的函馆 Vol.36 トニーさんと北海道の函館について featuring Tony, About Hakodate, Hokkaido.


A well-crafted PMS acts as a guiding principle, outlining an individual's core values, aspirations, and desired impact. It transcends the immediate concerns of a specific job and offers a long-term perspective on career fulfillment. Upskilling becomes most impactful when targeted towards capabilities that directly contribute to the goals and values outlined in the PMS.

Consider an individual with a personal mission statement emphasizing innovation and environmental responsibility. Upskilling in areas like sustainable design thinking or green technology directly aligns with their core values and aspirations. This targeted approach fosters deeper engagement with the learning process, leading to a more effective acquisition of new skills.

Furthermore, a personal mission statement can inform the selection of upskilling opportunities beyond technical skills. Communication, leadership, and emotional intelligence development, for example, can empower individuals to advocate for their ideas, navigate complex organizational dynamics, and build strong collaborative relationships – all crucial aspects of achieving their desired impact.

The synergy between upskilling and a personal mission statement is a two-way street. As individuals acquire new skills and knowledge, their personal mission statement may evolve to reflect their expanding capabilities and redefine their aspirations. This continuous cycle of learning and reflection fosters a sense of purpose and propels individuals towards achieving their full potential.

Organizations can leverage this connection by encouraging employees to articulate their personal mission statements and then curate upskilling opportunities that align with those statements. This not only fosters a more engaged and motivated workforce, but also ensures the skills acquired contribute directly to achieving the organization's strategic goals.
