CHANGE THE STORY: JUMP THE SHARK!

Yesterday, The Poppins had an intensive day of grammar and communication skills.

First, they finished the last exercise about Social English. Next, they reviewed Past Continuous and later they did some exercises of Past Simple vs. Past Continuous using while or when.

More information: Past Continuous

After a little break, they continued with some advice about how to earn possibilities in an interview or in an exam. The Grandma is a person obsessed with communication skills and she tries to explain some secrets to them every day, some interesting things like how to keep calm and control a bad situation; how to manage the weight of a discuss without having the power in it; how to survive to nerves; how to avoid uncomfortable questions or how to seem the best option when we aren’t interested in accepting the deal.


An interview, an exam, a situation where we’re exposed to other people is a game, in fact, a mental game where you must be stronger, more intelligent and cleverer than your opponent although s/he could be your future boss or the person who is going to decide your exam marks. Train your communication skills and you will have more possibilities of success.

The secrets are clear: 

-Create your profile and work in it to improve the negative things and expose the positive ones. 

-Do it with honesty and a little bit of humour, an element very important in difficult situations. 

-Trust in you, because you’re the real treasure that must bright with as force as you can. 

-Know your limits and work to arrive far away of them.

To sum up… Be a Poppins in essence and be yourself in existence.


Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, 
you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, 
and the emotions to affect other people.
