Think Small to Accomplish Big Things - Michael Phelps talk

Cecily G.

Sep 10, 2021

What small things are you going to do to accomplish big things? What small things can you do today, this week, to get you closer to your English learning goals? Every English lesson is a stepping stone toward your goal. 

This video includes English subtitles! (which are mostly accurate)

Do you know these words and expressions used in the video?

"It wasn't going to happen overnight"
"a stepping stone"
"trial and error"
"amping up"
"deal with the pressure and stress"
"put that behind me"
"the greats"
"we couldn't stand [it]"
"I'm huge into music" (or "I'm big into music")

Book a lesson with me to find out what those expressions are and practice using them!

Have a great day,
Cecily
