shopping, and eating in local restaurants. I think exploring somewhere on foot is the best way to
learn about the place.

Practice 5
I think it’s because when we have nothing, we have something to blame. So we say “I’m not
happy because I don’t have the house”, “I’m not happy because I don’t have money”, “I’m not
happy because I am not successful”, so we just be like “Okay, it’s because I don’t have that,
let’s keep going.” But when you have it, and then you’re still not happy. There is nobody else to
blame, but yourself.

Nicholas: Hi, Mom!

Mom: Nicholas! I’m so happy to hear your voice! Are you OK?

so luxurious.
Mom: Have you tried any good French food, or have you only been eating at McDonald’s?
Nicholas: Are you kidding? Yesterday we went to an amazing little café on the Champs-Élysées.
We tried some gorgeous French cheeses, some French wine, and we had three different kinds
of desserts.

Staff: I’m sorry, ma’am. We can’t give refunds without a receipt.

Practice 9
The biggest problem in your life is the way you’re speaking though. If you want to change your
life, you need to stop saying ”I have to”. Oh, I have to go the gym”,” I have to eat healthier”,
“ I have to go to work”. “Have to” means it implies that you have no choice, and it shows you
have a victim mindset. So instead, star saying the phrase “I CHOOSE TO”. “I choose to go to the
gym”, I choose to eat healthier”, “ I choose to go to work”. This shows that you are deciding to
do these things and it puts you into a place of power, and so switching you from being a victim
in your life to being an empowered person who’s taking charge of their life.

Practice 10
My favorite drink would be coffee and it’s because you can make coffee in so many ways,
whether you like it iced or you like it hot. You can add so many different flavors to I, and you can
honestly enjoy it any time of the day. It often becomes an excuse to go grab a coffee when you
wanna meet someone and hang out, and I think it just brings people in some way. So I enjoy
coffee a lot.

Practice 11

Doctor: It’s probably a stomach infection.
Jamie: What should I do?
Doctor: Take this medicine and don’t eat any oily food.

Practice 12
1. Life is 100% better when no one knows anything about you
2. You shouldn’t take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life
3. Everyone will show you who they are, just give them time
4. You need to be smart enough to create your own opportunities. Don’t wait for them to
come to you.
5. The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage. In life, you must take
action if you want to experience freedom.
6. You will always have some sort of conflict going on in your life. You must learn to enjoy life
while still solving them. There is beauty in everything we experience. You just need to
adjust your perception. You can either cry in the storm or dance in the rain.

Practice 13
Man: I traveled in Japan last year. The best thing about the trip was the people I met. I visited
the Harajuku district a lot and met all kinds of people who wore these weird, cool clothes.

Practice 14
They say that the 5 people you spend the most time with, you are an average of the 5 people. I
don’t think there’s scientific evidence to back up the number 5, but there is scientific evidence
to suggest that who you spend a lot of time with influences how you feel about yourself. So if
you don’t have any people in your inner circle who believe in you and support you, find
yourself a new circle.

Practice 15

Success comes from experience, and experience comes from failure. If you’re not successful
yet, then maybe you havent failed enough. Keep going, and eventually you’ll be successful.
