Get our free IELTS video training now Today we have a quote! “Holding back is so close to stealing.” – Neil Young To hold back means to withhold or to not do something or to not give something. This episode is about taking chances in our lives. You may feel like you can’t be yourself in English. Maybe you are funny in your native language but you don’t know how to be funny in English so you hold back. But if you do that then you are “stealing” from the moment as this quote says. What do you think? When have you erred on the side of perfection and protection by protecting yourself and when have you erred on the side of connection by taking a chance?

Get our free IELTS video training now Do you think it’s important to obsess over something to become successful at it? Another way to say it is ” to have tunnel vision.” Another word for obsession could be “focus” but it has more of a positive connotation. When we get really focused we have to be careful of burnout. We could get exhausted. When it comes to learning English you should chunk down the learning into bite-sized pieces and be sure that you are learning in a way that is fun for you.

Get our free IELTS video training! Do you know how to naturally talk about what you want in English? Native speakers use the verb “to want” in the past tense when we are making a request in the present tense. For example, you might call a colleague and say ” I wanted to confirm our lunch appointment for today.” This makes the message a bit more polite and more indirect. We think it’s also used more commonly for women. Come back to our site for more information Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Come back and tell us what your dating deal breakers are! http://www.allearsenglish.com/303 Get our FREE IELTS CHEAT SHEET: http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation Today we have our dating consultant, Jessica Coyle, back on the show! Today Jessica is back to talk about the concept of chemistry in dating in urban US culture. Jessica is going to tell us how to know if we actually have chemistry with someone. Chemistry: A magnetic pull between two people where you seem to understand the other person and something is different about that person to you. Two different types of chemistry: Slow burn chemistry: You start out as friends and then chemistry and attraction gradually builds over time. Features of the other person that seemed strange or unattractive initially start to become endearing and attractive. Quick chemistry/limerance: This is more of an infatuation. Jessica thinks that online dating and set ups reward this type of attraction. These connections can be really intense at first and then can fizzle out and not end well. At the same time, sometimes these attractions can work in the long run. What about in your culture? What are your deal breakers when it comes to dating? In your culture, how much influence do your parents and family have when it comes to your choice of a partner? Here are some dating vocabulary words that we talked about today: Limerance Lukewarm feelings Slow burn chemistry Quirks (personality and physical) Deal breakers Red Flag Jessica Coyle has been teaching English since 2007.
