English poetry employs five basic rhythms of varying stressed (/) and unstressed (x) syllables. The meters are iambs, trochees, spondees, anapests and dactyls. In this document the stressed syllables are marked in boldface type rather than the tradition al "/" and "x." Each unit of rhythm is called a "foot" of poetry.

The meters with two-syllable feet are

- IAMBIC (x /) : That timeof yearthoumaystin mebehold
- TROCHAIC (/ x): Tellmenotin mournful numbers
- SPONDAIC (/ /): Break, break, break/ On thy coldgraystones, O Sea!
- ANAPESTIC (x x/): And thesoundof a voicethat is still
- DACTYLIC (/ x x): Thisis the forest primeval, the murmuring pinesand the hemlock (a trochee replaces the final dactyl)

Hi! 👋 I'm Andrey Shcherbakov, an economics teacher who enjoys making complex ideas simple and practical. For me, economics isn't just a school subject—it's a way to understand how the world works. 🌍 From personal finance 💰 and entrepreneurship 🚀 to inflation 📈, investments 📊, and global markets, economics helps explain the decisions we make every day. My teaching style is interactive, structured, and focused on real understanding rather than memorization. I explain difficult concepts step by step, using current events, business examples, visual materials, and real economic situations that make learning both interesting and useful. I work with students preparing for exams 🎓, university courses, Olympiads 🏆, or anyone who wants to improve their financial literacy and analytical thinking. Every lesson is personalized to match your goals, learning pace, and experience. I believe that confidence comes from understanding. 💡 That's why my lessons encourage questions, discussions, and practical problem-solving instead of simply learning definitions. If you're looking for clear explanations, engaging lessons, and real progress 📚, I'd be happy to help you discover that economics can be both fascinating and useful. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
