日常中文（Daily Chinese）

When is your birthday ?  你的生日是什么时候？

안녕하세요. 
오늘은 일요일이에요. 
일요일마다 저는 대청소를 해요. 아니 정확하게 말하면 대청소를 하려고 노력해요. 

오늘은 드디어 성공했어요. 사실 지난주는 못했거든요. 
책상 정리도 하고 어지럽게 놓여 있던 물건들을 정리했어요. 

청소기도 돌리고 걸레질도 깨끗하게 했어요. 
이렇게 청소를 하고 나서 깨끗해진 집을 보면 마음이 좀 개운하고 시원해져요.
깔끔한 공간에서 깨끗하게 살아야 건강하고 좋은 생각들을 할 수 있는 것 같아요. 

아~  청소를 하면 참 좋은 걸 알지만 사실 귀찮아서 그동안은 청소를 자주 못했어요. 
청소를 하는 게 왜 이렇게 귀찮을까요? 저는 좀 게으른 사람이라서 부지런하게 꼼꼼하게 청소를 잘 하는 사람들이 대단하게 느껴져요. 올해 2024년에는 좀 깔끔하게 집을 정리하는 사람이 되어 보려고 합니다. 

여러분은 특별히 좋아하는 혹은 싫어하는 집안일이 있어요?
저는 빨래를 하는 걸 좀 좋아해요. 특히 제가 좋아하는 향기의 세제와 섬유유연제를 골라서 빨래를 하는 걸 좋아해요. 건조기까지 돌린 빨래의 뽀송한 느낌이 너무 좋아요. 

싫어하는 집안일은 설거지예요. 저는 집에 식기세척기가 없어서 매일 열심히 손으로 설거지를 하고 있어요. 나중에 살 수 있으면 꼭 식기세척기를 사고 싶어요. 그리고 제가 아주 오랫동안 사고 싶어한 가전제품 중 하나는 로봇 청소기예요. 로봇 청소기를 정말 가지고 싶어요. 그런데 좀 비싸서 아직 구매하지 못했어요. 1년 뒤 2025년의 지금이 되면 로봇 청소기를 가지고 있었으면 좋겠어요. 

일요일에 대청소를 하면 깨끗하게 월요일을 시작할 수 있어서 저는 일요일에 온 집안을 깔끔하게 청소하려고 합니다. 

내일은 월요일이에요. 
주말 동안 푹 쉬었으니까 내일부터 다시 열심히 새로운 한 주를 시작할 거예요.

한국어를 공부하는 여러분도 일요일을 잘 마무리하시고
즐거운 월요일을 보내기를 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

Today we're talking about work like balance. This is one of the most important topics that we discuss with our colleagues and friends so today I want to give you some vocabulary and ideas to make you more confident and fluent when speaking about this subject. Maybe you want to ask your boss if you can work from home, or maybe you're trying to protect your time and stop working on weekends! Hopefully today's podcast can give you some tools, tips, and ideas for how to do this. We'll talk about some natural and native ways to talk about your journey to and from work and negotiating for more time when scheduling deadlines. Also, if you're taking the IELTS or TOEIC tests, hopefully you'll find some useful, natural, and native sounding vocabulary here too that can improve your score.

Talking about WORK LIFE BALANCE - Business English lesson

Hi, guys!

Today we are gonna have a short lesson about crimes!

We are going to study new words and grammar. And as homework you will have some exercises.
Let’s go.

Crime is a very interesting topic, and a bad guy who takes your money or kills someone we can call a criminal, a felon or a culprit. This guy usually commits a crime.

Okay, so a criminal, a felon or a culprit commits a crime.

What other crimes should we know?

Bribery. Bribery is a crime when one person gives money to get an illegal service. For example, a person gives a doctor 1000$ to make fake papers. When you make fake papers, we call it forgery. 

Okay, bribery, to give a bribe.

Next word is blackmail. If he wanted to give a bribe, but his doctor refused, he can blackmail him. It means that he writes: “If you don’t do what I want, I will ruin your life”. He threatens this person.

Blackmail, to blackmail, blackmailer.


If this person doesn’t listen to this guy, he starts stalking him. He becomes a stalker. He follows him every minute. He wants to get what he’s asking for.

Finally the police arrest him. He is a criminal and he’s behind bars. 

People start talking about him:

“-It is said that he is a criminal
-yes, he is said to be a blackmailer and stalker. He also gave a bribe!”

If you look at these sentences you can see a very good grammar structure.

Let's take a closer look.

For example, we say  “She is a teacher.” We can also say “it is said that she is a teacher” or “sh is said to be a teacher” 

It is said she is beautiful
She is said to be beautiful.


Practise these sentences at home and ask me for correct answers in messages.

He is smart. 
He is a felon. He gives a bribe.
She is a stalker. She stalks him every day.
Criminals commit crimes. 
Bob is a felon. He blackmails people.
Susue is a criminal. She blackmails people and gives bribes.

That’s it guys. If yo9u liked this podcast, and this lesson you can book a trial lesson with me!

Imagine a chance meeting at a conference – a fleeting opportunity to make a strong impression. That's the power of an elevator pitch, a succinct introduction that sparks interest and sets you apart. Here's how to craft yours for networking success:

Grab Attention in the First 10 Seconds:  A captivating opening is key. Are you passionate about solving a specific industry challenge? Briefly mention it and how your expertise can be the solution. For instance, "I'm a data analyst with a knack for uncovering hidden insights that boost marketing campaign effectiveness."

Introduce Yourself Professionally:  In a sentence or two, state your profession and a key area of strength.  Keep it clear and concise. Example: "I'm a marketing specialist with a proven track record in developing high-performing social media strategies."

Highlight Your Value Proposition:  This is where you showcase what sets you apart.  It could be a unique skill, a successful project you've led, or a specific achievement that demonstrates your value. Don't just list duties; focus on results. Example: "I recently spearheaded a social media campaign that generated a 30% increase in qualified leads for my company."

End with a Clear Call to Action:  A strong call to action leaves a lasting impression and encourages further conversation.  Do you want to connect on LinkedIn? Offer to share a relevant case study or discuss your expertise in more detail?  Keep it specific and actionable.

Craft, Refine, and Conquer:

Practice your pitch out loud to refine its delivery. Aim for clarity, enthusiasm, and a natural conversational tone. Time yourself – it should be under 30 seconds to hold attention in a busy environment.

Bonus Tip: Tailor Your Message:  A one-size-fits-all approach won't cut it. Research the event or organization beforehand. Highlight skills and experiences relevant to their interests.

Follow these steps, you'll craft a memorable elevator pitch that captures attention, showcases your value.
