πŸ„Caution: this week's topic requires critical thinking, may not be suitable for lopsided fanatics*

πŸ‘β€πŸ—¨Context
In the wake of* Pope Francis's passing away, we discuss if soft power can wield any real influence in 2025 and beyond. We start from the state level and then come down to soft power in your every day life.

πŸ‘β€πŸ—¨Editorial
We must confess this is one of our editing team's most favourite topics so far, and we can't wait to learn what opinions, facts, and tips S2S speaking buddies will exchange in speaking sessions.

πŸ‘β€πŸ—¨Educational
You will use 12 new phrases in your speech as well: check them out in the images to prep up. How many of them do you confidently use in your speech already?

πŸŽ€Post's Glossary

*lopsided fanatics: people who're very extreme and unbalanced in their support for something
*in the wake of: after something happens

😐 Morning vs mourning: same sounds, 1 different letter, 2 very different meanings

Every day starts with 'morning' but every day doesn't start with 'mourning' -- hopefully people around you don't die every day and you don't mourn them

Mourning period is the time when people are very sad because someone has died
