小王子所访问的下一个星球上住着一个酒鬼。
The next planet was inhabited by a tippler.
访问时间非常短，可是它却使小王子非常忧伤。
This was a very short visit, but it plunged the little prince into deep dejection.
“你在干什么？”小王子问酒鬼，这个酒鬼默默地坐在那里，面前有一堆酒瓶子，有的装着酒，有的是空的。
"What are you doing there?" he said to the tippler, whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles.
“我喝酒。”他阴沉忧郁地回答道。
"I am drinking," replied the tippler, with a lugubrious air.
“你为什么喝酒？”小王子问道。
"Why are you drinking?" demanded the little prince.
“为了忘却。”酒鬼回答。

"So that I may forget," replied the tippler.
小王子已经有些可怜酒鬼。他问道：“忘却什么呢？”
"Forget what?" inquired the little prince, who already was sorry for him.
酒鬼垂下脑袋坦白道：“为了忘却我的羞愧。”
"Forget that I am ashamed," the tippler confessed, hanging his head.
“你羞愧什么呢？”小王子很想救助他。
"Ashamed of what?" insisted the little prince, who wanted to help him.
“我羞愧我喝酒。”酒鬼说完以后就再也不开口了。
"Ashamed of drinking!" The tippler brought his speech to an end, and shut himself up in an impregnable silence.
小王子迷惑不解地离开了。
And the little prince went away, puzzled.
在旅途中，他自言自语地说道：“这些大人确实真叫怪。”
"The grown-ups are certainly very, very odd," he said to himself, as he continued on his journey.

IELTS Speaking myths. We'll 'de-myth' two together!

What is a myth anyway? A myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that is especially associated with religious belief.

Where do myths come from?  Generally speaking a myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths.

Myths also come from 'imagining' what took place and forming an idea of it and then sharing it with others as if it actually took place.

Of course it takes place in language learning and in IELTS speaking test.

We'll look into 2 myths students generally think about when it comes to IELTS speaking tests, they are:

Myth 1 -  I have to agree with my examiner’s opinion (if I don't ... )
Myth 2 -  My speaking duration was only 9 minutes long (instead of 11-14). (If it is to occur I ...)

You can finish the rest.

Do you have these kinds of thoughts running through your mind? Generally students say yes, you can be an exception but listen to the podcast just to see what not to do. It's highly recommended.

Enjoy your process and I'd love to have an opportunity to assist the development of your spoken English in IELTS speaking or a job interview preparation instead of teaching you the rulles, grammar etc.

See you in my classes.

I came across a podcast about an 80 year old man sharing a valuable life lesson. This life lesson is the same lesson that I learned over the last few years. I hope that this podcast will give insights about business and entrepreneurship to those who want to try it out.
