Week 15th
– 17thJuly
Hello everybody!
So, it seems Nuria was too busy and too
stressed to come to class last week. What advice (recommendation) would you
give her?
You shouldn’t be
so stressed! You
should take some time off.
You should
look for help to organize your holidays. You should delegate at work and get you
an assistant or some help!
