Inversion

Inversion 1

 Ebben a haladó nyelvtanulóknak szóló anyagban az inverziót mutatom be. A nyelvtani jelenség fölöttébb izgalmas, és kapcsolódik más témákhoz is, különösen is a feltételes módhoz vagy a hangsúlyozáshoz és a kiemeléshez.

1. Az inverzió fogalma

Bár a témát sokféle csoportosításban és nézőpontból lehetne tárgyalni, itt az egyszerűség (a könnyebb tanulhatóság) kedvéért csak arról a jelenségről beszélünk, amikor a kijelentő mondatban kérdő szórenddel találkozunk. Ennek is több fajtája van, tehát több szituációban fordul elő az inverz szórend.

How to Evaluate Your Own Emotional Intelligence

Brainpower: Mindsight and Emotional Intelligence in Leadership

Follow

‘What you need now is emotional intelligence,’ was what China’s new president told a graduating class last month at their top tech school.
Now Bloomberg’s Businessweek tells us that Yale’s school of management has added a test of emotional intelligence to its admissions requirements.
And how’s your emotional intelligence?
Just as for IQ, there are several theoretical models of emotional intelligence, each supported by its own set of research findings. The one I’ve proposed — which has fared well in predicting actual business performance — looks at a spectrum of EI-based leadership competencies that each helps a leader be more effective.

Agressive? Assertive! - communication styles

Let’s say you decide to take a passive stance.  Once again, you drop the important project you’re working on to drive over and help her out.  Initially, you may feel resentful and a bit angry at yourself and at your friend. Your self-esteem takes another hit as you berate yourself with thoughts like, “Why am I always the one who has to sacrifice?  Why can’t I just be honest and say ‘No, not now’?”.  Those are some of the possible short-term effects.  But studies also show that those who repress their emotions, desires, and needs are more likely to suffer from depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, and even some physical disorders.

LOVEbombing

Fiataloknak, és lélekben fiataloknak:

A szerelembombázás egy manipulációs taktika, amelynek során valaki a kapcsolat kezdetén túlzott szeretettel, figyelemmel és nagy gesztusokkal árasztja el a másik személyt, hogy gyors, intenzív érzelmi kötődést alakítson ki és függőséget teremtsen. Bár ez eleinte hízelgőnek tűnik, valójában az érzelmi bántalmazás vészjelzése, mert a „szerelmi bombázó” ezt a kialakított kötődést később arra használja, hogy irányítsa, leértékelje vagy manipulálja az áldozatot, ami megnehezíti számára, hogy felismerje a bántalmazást és megőrizze határait. 

Love bombing is a manipulation tactic where someone overwhelms another person with excessive affection, attention, and grand gestures early in a relationship to build a quick, intense emotional bond and create dependence. While it feels flattering at first, it's a red flag for emotional abuse because the "love bomber" uses this created bond to later control, devalue, or manipulate the target, making it harder for them to recognize the abuse and maintain their boundaries. 

SLAY

 

 

A slay szó eredetileg azt jelenti, hogy megöl vagy elpusztít, de a modern szlengben azt jelenti, hogy valaki kiválóan teljesít valamiben, lenyűgöző, sikeres, vagy hogy egy adott feladatot "megöl", azaz tökéletesen végrehajt. 

30 Questions to Ask Your Kid Instead of “How Was Your Day?”

Ez itt most nekünk, szülőknek...


When I picked my son up from his first day of 4th grade, my usual (enthusiastically delivered) question of “how was your day?” was met with his usual (indifferently delivered) “fine.”
Come on! It’s the first day, for crying out loud! Give me something to work with, would you, kid?
The second day, my same question was answered, “well, no one was a jerk.”
That’s good…I guess.
I suppose the problem is my own. That question actually sucks. Far from a conversation starter, it’s uninspired, overwhelmingly open ended, and frankly, completely boring. So as an alternative, I’ve compiled a list of questions that my kid will answer with more than a single word or grunt. In fact, he debated his response to question 8 for at least half an hour over the weekend. The jury’s out until he can organize a foot race.

Questions a kid will answer at the end of a long school day:

1. What did you eat for lunch?
2. Did you catch anyone picking their nose?
3. What games did you play at recess?
4. What was the funniest thing that happened today?
5. Did anyone do anything super nice for you?
6. What was the nicest thing you did for someone else?
7. Who made you smile today?
8. Which one of your teachers would survive a zombie apocalypse? Why?
9. What new fact did you learn today?
10. Who brought the best food in their lunch today? What was it?
