The road is mastered by walking 🚶‍♂️ You looked at English schools online. All these schools were promising “fluent English in a month — stress-free.☺️ The advertisements were full of clichés: — stress-free learning 😊 — immediate results from the 1st lesson — “super-secret methodologies from a professor from the USA” — pictures of smiling people in headsets with British or American flags in the background 🇺🇸 You felt as if you were getting scammed.😠 You decided to search for more schools later. You did your homework. Physics was hard and boring. History was just boring —a bunch of events from the past that had no connection with you. Mom came in to check on you. She asked you again why you were sad. “I’m not sad, Mom. I’m just reflecting on my environment,” you joked. Mom laughed. “You are such a daydreamer. Maybe you should write books!”📕 Mom left the room, but her words didn’t leave your head. You got an idea.💡 You decided to write your own short stories in English. You figured this would develop your language. And you would still continue looking for English schools online. From that day on, your new motto became: “The road is mastered by walking.” #B 🧠 Vocabulary to promise обещать fluent свободно говорящий stress-free без стресса advertisement реклама cliché клише, заезженная фраза immediate мгновенный methodology методология to get scammed быть обманутым to reflect (on something) размышлять, осмысливать environment окружение daydreamer мечтатель to figure (out) понять, прийти к выводу to develop a skill развивать навык motto девиз The road is mastered by walking дорогу осилит идущий
