For years, Mara had dreamed of running a marathon, but she never found the time to train properly. After moving to a job with more regular hours, she finally joined a local running group. The group met three times a week, and the encouragement of the other runners kept her going even on cold mornings. Six months later, she completed her first marathon.
What most helped Mara achieve her goal?
The widespread adoption of remote collaboration tools has been hailed as a democratising force, allowing talent to be sourced regardless of geography. Yet the picture is more ambivalent than such optimism suggests. As organisations grow accustomed to hiring across borders, workers in high-cost regions increasingly find themselves competing with equally qualified counterparts willing to accept lower pay. The technology that promised to liberate the workforce may, in some sectors, simply have intensified the pressures of a global labour market.
What is the author's main point about remote collaboration tools?

I can send you the link to register.
What does the woman say is a benefit of the course?
A common assumption about bilingual children is that learning two languages at once will confuse them and delay their speech. Decades of research have put this fear to rest. While bilingual children may briefly mix vocabulary from both languages — a phenomenon parents often mistake for confusion — this is a normal and temporary stage. In fact, by managing two linguistic systems from an early age, these children often develop stronger skills in switching between tasks. The apparent 'delay' is little more than a myth.
What does the speaker say about bilingual children mixing languages?
