On a Monday morning or after a night out with friends, staying focused in class can feel impossible. You yawn, your eyes feel tired and the desk starts to look increasingly attractive as a temporary bed of sorts. It’s time to reach out for some of your brain’s favourite attention and memory boosters and wake up again.

So before next Monday’s class – whether back home or in an EF school somewhere on the other side of the world – whip up a blueberry shake, drink a cup of coffee, eat some nuts or go nuts and eat a baked potato for lunch. Your brain and your teacher will thank you, trust us.

Our top 5 brain foods:

1. A strong cup of coffee

Every student knows that the local barista that makes that daily morning cup is their best friend. Coffee is really good for waking you up and keeping you focused for a short amount of time, but drink too much and you’ll feel jittery and ill.

2. A fruit shake

Preferably with super healthy blueberries and with natural sugars in the form of glucose, a fruit shake can provide a short-term memory boost in addition to vitamins and minerals that your whole body needs. Overdo it and you’re likely to feel tired soon after.

3. A handful of dark chocolate pieces and nuts

They’re as brain-boosting as anything (dark chocolate even has some caffeine) and they’re anti-ageing too.

4. Fish and baked potatoes for lunch

We know, we know – they’re not the most attractive items on the menu, but your brain loves both. Salmon and other fatty fish have loads of Omega-3 fats that boost memory and slow your brain’s decline as you age, while potatoes provide steady energy that your brain really needs (it takes up 20% of your body’s energy!)

5. Pumpkin seeds
They’re full of zinc, iron and minerals that help transport oxygen to the brain, and nerve cells to communicate and boost your brain power. A great cheap and healthy snack.

Bebidas de México (II)

La scorsa estate Jimmy si è divertito molto. È andato al mare in Sicilia. Anche se abita a Venezia, ama viaggiare per l’Italia, ammirare le città d’arte e assaggiare tutti i piatti tipici.

È voluto andare in Sicilia in aereo. Innanzitutto è atterrato a Palermo e per prima cosa ha voluto assaggiare i buonissimi arancini. Poi ha voluto visitare la cattedrale di Monreale, famosa in tutto il mondo.

Dopo qualche giorno è andato a Taormina, sulla costa orientale. Ha dovuto prendere un autobus perché non ama guidare. Taormina è una città bellissima e molto antica. Lì il mare è azzurro. Vicino a Taormina c’è anche il vulcano Etna. Jimmy ha potuto fare un’escursione sul vulcano insieme a una guida specializzata.

È potuto salire fino in cima. È stato stancante ma davvero molto bello.

Più tardi ha trascorso una settimana al mare a rilassarsi, a prendere il sole, a giocare a pallavolo sulla spiaggia, a nuotare e a mangiare piatti di pesce. 

Alla fine è tornato a Venezia dopo più di due settimane ed è andato subito a salutare il suo amico Marco. Ha mostrato le foto della vacanza al suo amico. Marco era molto arrabbiato: poiché è dovuto restare a Venezia per lavoro, non è potuto andare in vacanza.

Povero Marco!

Effective virtual communication in business thrives on five key practices:

Clarity and Concision:  Craft messages tailored to the platform. Emails should be well-structured with clear subject lines and concise language.  Video presentations benefit from strong visuals that support, not replace, spoken points. Regardless of the medium, focus on the core message and avoid jargon or unnecessary complexity.

Active Listening and Engagement:  Virtual environments lack nonverbal cues, so active listening is crucial. Pay close attention to what's being said, ask clarifying questions, and paraphrase key points to demonstrate understanding. Encourage participation through polls, breakout rooms, or chat features to keep everyone engaged.

Professionalism and Etiquette:  Maintain a professional online presence. Dress appropriately for video calls, use a clean and distraction-free virtual background, and practice good microphone etiquette (muting when not speaking).  Be mindful of time zones when sending emails and respect colleagues' schedules by avoiding unnecessary interruptions.

Leveraging Technology:  Utilize the tools available to enhance your communication.  Screen sharing allows for visual explanations, online whiteboards facilitate brainstorming, and breakout rooms foster focused discussions.  Mastering these features creates a more dynamic and informative virtual experience.

Building Rapport and Trust:  While physical presence is absent, fostering connection is vital.  Start meetings with icebreakers to create a lighter mood. Use video calls whenever possible to build rapport through facial expressions and body language.  Be transparent in your communication and acknowledge contributions from all participants to create a sense of trust and inclusivity.
