Hello Lily! What a great performance I've just witnessed! Incredible example for every student in our community. Excellent pronunciation and rythm, I loved it! 😄 Hope you also participate in the next challenge 🔥
Sorry, I know it's late, but I didn't want to miss it. In this voice message, I talk about the pronunciation habits I want to improve in English, like word stress and speaking rhythm, which we learned in the master class, and I also explain what I plan to do this week to practice them
Thanks for sharing this audio 😄 Your pronunciation was very good, congratulations! There was one sentence that I didn't get, by the end of the audio. What did you say...? I wan to _____ the things I want to improve. Please check it 🙏
From my perspective, this is a difficult and controversial topic because I understand both sides, I think forced diversity can help people who were left out for years, because it can level the playing field and I also think companies should look qualifications and skills beacuse merit is really important, it includes many years of study or experience, on the other hand there are companies that use quotas to create more diversity but some people think this is unfair because it looks performative like companies want to tick a box. Maybe the solution is a balance between diversity and merit. What do you think is the best way to make this process fair? #WOFdebate

If my country had a 45°c heatwave next week, at first measurement I would go for all my groseries and be sure of have as much as necessary of food and medicines to avoid going out and exposes me to a scorching summer. I'd try to prepare the meals earlier in the morning to stay fresh and quiet during the day, when the weather could be harsh. A good takeaway could be drinking water frecuentely, use soaked towels and close the windows, that’s a way to control the hot air entering the house. In hazardous times as a heatwave I think is mandatory develop ways to manage the situation and be on a red alert if the things turns out in a bad way. I would ask for a remote job, and for a in house study to cope with the boiling hot outside. I would buy a good air conditioner to maintain the house cozy and with a good temperature. It´s important stay inform about the forecast during the summer season and follow the Government´s instructions to guarantee the well-being of the community.

Why I prefer New Balance over Sketchers I think New Balance shoes are better because they provide more support, so you can stand up for longer hours without your feet hurting. On the other hand, I don't like Sketchers shoes because they don't offer enough support to wear comfortably for long time. The colors of New Balance evoke a feeling of comfort and reliability, which strengthens the brand identity. This creates a positive perception, encouraging people to choose New Balance over other brands. Many people even make a snap judgment that New Balance shoes are more comfortable just by looking at their design and colors. Lastly, I wouldn't change brands because New Balance give me the support and comfort I need.
