🎄20 Days Of Christmas
💥”For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.” – Charles Dickens
🎄Art – The Christmas Tree, 1911 by Albert Chevallier Tayler
🎄20 Days Of Christmas
“I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.” —Harlan Miller
🎄Christmas Interior by Max Rimböck (1890-1956)
🎄20 Days Of Christmas
💥Following the (Romanian) chaos of the last two weeks, when I was somewhat on the brink of a heart attack, I can now finally concentrate on the most beautiful days of winter.
💥I am going to start publishing the most beautiful Christmas paintings today.
🎄Christmas is the time of enlightenment, inner warmth, and profound joy, and I particularly liked what T.S. Eliot said in “The Cultivation of Christmas Trees”.
⚡️“Christmas in Romania means drummers dressed up in bearskins to spook evil spirits and joyous children in colorful apparel chanting at doorways: ‘Do you welcome the Christmas Eve’s carolers?’” – Iulia Halatz
🎄Let’s start growing our Inventory of Light with the most beautiful Christmas paintings.

❤️For our German readers
Hier ist der beste Schreib-Tipp, den ich kenne.
Bevor du etwas sendest oder teilst, lies es laut vor. Dies gilt für E-Mails, Social-Media-Beiträge, Artikel und sogar Textnachrichten, sofern sie als wichtig erachtet werden.
Es laut vorzulesen, als ob man einer Gruppe von Menschen eine Geschichte erzählt, ist der Schlüssel. Als ich früher meine Texte laut las, murmelte ich sie und verwendete nicht den passenden Ton oder die richtige Geschwindigkeit. Ich würde immer Dinge vergessen, und einige Teile würden immer noch schlecht klingen.
Ich habe damit in meinen frühen Schreibtagen angefangen. Überraschenderweise begann ich mit Poesie, und unsicher in meinen Fähigkeiten, ging ich kalkulierte Risiken ein, um sie zu verbessern. Es hat wie ein Zauber gewirkt.

🔔New video about the Second Verb in English!
🔔Mastering English grammar: The Second Verb: -Ing or Infinitive?
➡️Do you know when to use -ing and when to use to + infinitive after a verb? Test what you know with interactive exercises and read the explanation to help you.
➡️Look at these examples to see how the verb forms are used.
I enjoy learning languages.
I want to learn a new language.
➡️Grammar explanation
A verb can be followed by another verb. The second one usually needs to change into the -ing form or the to + infinitive form. Which form you need depends on what the first verb is.
Verbs followed by the -ing form
When enjoy, admit and mind are followed by another verb, it must be in the -ing form.
I enjoy travelling.
He admitted stealing the necklace.
I don’t mind waiting if you’re busy.

🔔Only English in the classroom?
💆Yes, I also have international students with whom I don’t share a common language.
💆My students are never struggling with understanding, as I am willing to explain any concepts and terms in a simpler way.
❤️The greatest compliment I have received from my students is about making them learn English without being aware that they were learning anything. The struggle was nil.
✨That is the power of conversation ONLY in English!
💸Nevertheless, I make sure that the learning also happens outside the classroom by sending my students:
➡️The follow up sheet after every session.
➡️Videos made by me about a variety of topics, including grammar themes, trending news, the global economy, new English vocabulary, and essential economic concepts.
➡️Articles and books from my digital library that I have built in 20 years of teaching.

🔔New video about the Passive Voice in English!
🔔What is the passive voice?
➡️In general, the active voice makes your writing stronger, more direct, and, you guessed it, more active. The subject is something, or it does the action of the verb in the sentence. With the passive voice, the subject is acted upon by some other performer of the verb. (In case you weren’t paying attention, the previous two sentences use the type of voice they describe.)
➡️But the passive voice is not incorrect. In fact, there are times when it can come in handy. Read on to learn how to form the active and passive voices, when using the passive voice is a good idea, and how to avoid confusing it with similar forms.
🔔The difference between active and passive voice
➡️While tense is all about time references, voice describes whether the grammatical subject of a clause performs or receives the action of the verb.
➡️Here’s the formula for the active voice:
[subject]+[verb (performed by the subject)]+[optional object]
Chester kicked the ball.
➡️In a passive voice construction, the grammatical subject of the clause receives the action of the verb. So the ball from the above sentence, which is receiving the action, becomes the subject. The formula:
[subject]+[some form of the verb to be]+[past participle of a transitive verb]+[optional prepositional phrase]
The ball was kicked by Chester.
➡️That last little bit—“by Chester”—is a prepositional phrase that tells you who the performer of the action is. But even though Chester is the one doing the kicking, he’s no longer the grammatical subject. A passive voice construction can even drop him from the sentence entirely:
The ball was kicked.

Here is the best writing tip I know.
Before you send or share something, read it out loud. This applies to emails, social media posts, articles, and even text messages, provided they are deemed important.
Reading it out loud as if you were telling a story to a group of people is the key. When I used to read my writing aloud, I would mumble it and not use the appropriate tone or speed. I would always forget things, and some parts would still sound bad.
I started doing this in my early days of writing. Surprisingly, I began with poetry, and unsure of my abilities, I took calculated risks to enhance it. It worked like a charm.

Tips & Tricks about international exams
TOLES Exam: Everything You Need to Know!
The TOLES exams test the specific English that lawyers who do not have English as a first language need to work successfully in international commercial law.
Commercial legal English is significantly different from everyday English, or the English needed to do a law degree with a UK or US university.
The TOLES certificates allow international lawyers and law students to provide evidence of their language skills in specific areas of knowledge that are highly valued by employers, such as international commercial negotiations, company documents and cross-border contracts drafted in English.
We offer training courses for all international exams (Cambridge CAE, Cambridge FCE, ILEC, IELTS, BEC, TOLES, and ICFE).

👋Hi, I’m Iulia and I do not like to talk about myself.
❤️Here’s a little intro as I have never done that before.
💆I started my coaching business in 2012. Since then I had thousands of students and met some of the most fascinating people in the world. I am very grateful for that.
👀I am very independent and like to keep my life private.
💚I have 3 stepdaughters who sometimes call me “mother-of-dragons”🐉.
✈️Thanks to freelancing, I started remote work way before the pandemic, and I write and teach on the go. Some of my most beautiful articles were written on the beach.
🏪Only after I became city councillor did I realize that my greatest strength is public speaking and rhetoric.
💸I niched down a bit and I write fragrance and legal business news articles and SEO blogs.
✏️In 2012, during a period of significant challenges, I began writing by combining words into poems. Since then, two anthologies have published my writings.
💟Writing is my medicine in times of adversity.
Fun facts:
🎵 I took piano lessons a long time ago.
🚲I’m a big-time cyclist and roller-skater⛸. I have developed the habit of gracefully falling with minor injuries.
🦋I have a rare phobia, Lepidopterophobia (fear of butterflies and moths), but I like snakes 🐍.
📚I’ve always loved geometry, reading, and teaching.
🥐Even though I’m an awful cook, I still put in the time and effort to make elaborate dinners for Easter and Christmas.
Your turn! Would love to hear a fun fact about you too 😀💜.
This photo was taken in the Bucegi mountains and it is probably one of my best.
