在中国，为了表示对长辈的尊重，是不可以直呼其名的，有时候连同音字都要避免使用。阿九的儿媳是个非常聪明且孝顺的人，为了表示对阿九的尊重，她从来不说“九”，甚至连“jiu”的同音字也不说。这一天，来了两位老人，他们要考验阿九的儿媳是否真的可以不说“jiu”这个音……

Whenever 不 is before another fourth tone character, it becomes a second tone. 
Take for example, 不错 bùcuò, which means not bad. Since 错 is fourth tone, we read it as búcuò.

TASK 42 - FAKE NEWS AND THE INTERNET

Why people are afraid of taking interviews?

Here is a quote I found from a person - sharing their feelings about taking an interview...

I'm afraid of interviews and getting a job and having to interact with coworkers
I'm an adult but I feel like a baby. I don't have any social skills or any skills. Having to go to interviews and interact with coworkers sounds like a nightmare. I can't do this adult thing. I can't function in this --- world. I don't know what to do. I can't get help because it's too scary to speak about my problems with a stranger. I feel like I wasn't meant to be in this world. 

and this is a native speaker... certainly, the person might be starting out but my point was to illustrate to you that you are not alone...

In this podcast I share ways how you can overcome it - strategical approach you can follow to help you ace your interview.

And I offer 1-1 private coachinng/consulting classes, come and see me.

To Your Success,
Anatoly
