Part of mastering communication is learning the arts. Here is a business themed poem for you to explore. After practicing with this, make your own. Take some time to ponder your business as well. 

In the bustling business bazaar, bold bankers briskly bargain. Trading trinkets, tallying treasure, they twist tongues with finance fervor. Swiftly scribing, stocks they stir, savvy whispers in the blur.

Business and life lessons from Jack Ma

Hello and welcome to another episode of Engine English. Ever since the might of the British Empire was expelled from the United States, ordinary folk from both sides of the pond have chuckled at each other's use of the English language and pronunciation. 

This has also led to a few interesting conversations where things often get lost in translation.

The two might share the English language but it can seem like you're speaking an entirely different language if you're unaware of the way certain words are used.

What does that mean?
My work isn't just a job, it's a mission. As an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite a fire in people. Through the power of communication, I show them the possibilities that lie dormant within. I don't just teach; I equip.  I equip professionals with the tools they need to be confident communicators, understand the nuances of emotions, and think strategically. It's about empowering them to break down walls, unlock their full potential, and navigate the ever-evolving world of connection. My ultimate goal? To foster connections that drive positive change.

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。

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)

These expressions of gratitude traverse a spectrum of sincerity and formality. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply say "thank you," "thanks," or even add a casual "cheers" to express appreciation. When gratitude is deeply felt, phrases like "I'm sincerely grateful" and "I'm truly thankful" convey the depth of one's appreciation. In informal settings, a heartfelt thank you might be expressed with "you're a lifesaver" or "you're the best," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I extend my heartfelt thanks" or "I wish to express my deepest gratitude," while emphasizing that kindness does not go unnoticed. Politeness tempers the thanks in expressions such as "I want to say thank you" and "your help means a lot to me," demonstrating genuine gratitude. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the gratitude, as seen in expressions like "I owe you one" or "you're a legend." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their gratitude with statements like "I'm most grateful" or "your assistance is greatly appreciated," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, gratitude is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "your kindness has not gone unnoticed" or "you have my deepest thanks," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
