ESL 4 LEVENT

 Dear Leventcim, Last time we met, we only talked about "Goal Setting" in general, however, this time we should go deeper and talk about the development of this process at a deeper level.  I found a few pages about the subject and tried to set goals for myself in an Excel sheet which I could share with you. Here are some links for you to view and think about. https://www.lucidchart.com/blog/the-ultimate-goal-setting-process-in-7-steps https://www.build-creative-writing-ideas.com/zig-ziglar.html https://curvefinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Goal-Setting-Canvas-1.pdf The following link is from the previous meeting blog. https://worldofwork.io/2019/07/zig-ziglars-seven-steps-of-goal-setting/ And here is a more descriptive chart of the wheel of life from Zig Ziglar.

Leventcim hi! Today's topic is "Goal Setting" and conversations about life and business around "Goals". I would like to remind you this topic along with the questions ask in order to achieve it.  " We all have goals and talking about them actually gets us more encouraged to do something about them. Sharing goals is also a good thing to help get them done. A good set of questions is: What are your current goals in life? How do you plan to reach your goals? How often do you set goals for yourself? What goals have you set and achieved in the past? How do you feel when you reach your goals?

Leventcim Good Morning! I loaded quite a few videos and study materials for you to dwell on last week, that's the reason I stopped sending additional assignments. I know that you have a very limited time.  How about this? One week we focus on Grammar, and another week we shift focus on Vocabulary. So that you can enrich your knowledge and skills quickly. You may take the opportunities on job to use new grammatical rules and words, phrases, phrasals step by step as we progress.  This week we carry on with phrases from beginner to advanced, since we did Grammar las week. Please check the explanations beneath the videos too. Here we go: Even though they may seem advanced, I know that you will bump into many of these expressions in real life. I recommend that you pick up the ones that you quickly start using in your daily conversations, and also gain familiarity to those you find more advanced at your level.  Have a wonderful week, and see you at 9 tonight.
