Learning English has uncomfortable moments, but reasonable natives will accept non-natives! Never give up.  Also, I provide commentary on the TOEFL and IELTS exams. I based some of my ideas on "Tower Of Babble: Nonnative Speakers Navigate The World Of 'Good' And 'Bad' English" on NPR (the news company).  

The Inside Scoop on English

Uncomfortable Comes with Learning

"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill is one of the most popular books ever. I've read it many times and it's guided me to great success. It's helped me come up with business ideas and create shows, films, theaters, and studios in different cities. It will help you, too!

Think and Grow Rich: Roadmap to the American Dream

Ayer 10 y hoy 11 de julio trascurren las fiestas patronales del pueblo donde vivo. Ahora se llaman “Fiestas Mayores” pero hace pocas décadas se llamaban patronales porque se celebran en honor al patrón de cada población. El patrón no es un jefe o un empresario, ni un narcotraficante no, usamos la acepción religiosa.

大家好，我是Yuli。
这个星期中国最火的话题之一是新东方直播。新东方是一家教育培训公司，是做出国的英语培训起家的，后来也做中小学基础教育。因为疫情影响，出国的人变少了。2021年7月中国开始实施“双减”政策。第一、减轻义务教育阶段学生的作业负担，第二、减轻校外培训负担。这个政策对教育培训机构造成了巨大的影响，很多老师失业，机构也不得不开始转型。
新东方在2021年底开始了直播带货，卖农产品。但是一开始并没有什么人关注，直播间只有几十个人观看。经过半年的坚持努力，新东方直播间从最初平均单场直播销售额不足30万，逆袭为现在的单场平均销售额近1500万。3天时间，粉丝增加近160万，销售额增加1777万元。
他们是如何做到的呢？今年6月份以来，“新东方直播间”队伍登场，带货主播都是新东方的英语老师。他们一边说英语，一边介绍产品。网友开玩笑说，买个东西还可以免费学英语。其中人气最高的是董宇辉，他不仅幽默，还很有才华。在他的直播间，你不仅可以学英语，还可以听他讲优美的诗词。他会分享他的经验和故事，你会因为他的坚持和乐观而感动。
董老师的一段话让我很感动，他对那些经历过痛苦的人说：“运气可能会来也可能不会来，但是这不影响你本来要坚守的心。痛苦是对的，痛苦源于对现状的不满。痛苦的人才有欲望去改变一切。痛苦就是力量” 
希望他的话也能鼓励到你。我们下期见。

Oh, no. Little glittering objects.
