Be Deaf To Negativity

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.

The race began…

Honestly, No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. The crowd yelled statements such as:

“Oh, WAY too difficult!!!”

“They will NEVER make it to the top.”

“Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one. Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher.

The crowd continued to yell, “It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!”

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up. But ONE continued higher and higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top! THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out. That the winner was DEAF!!!

:: Moral of the Story ::

Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be negative or pessimistic, because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you — the ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions! Therefore, ALWAYS BE POSITIVE!

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams! Always think: God and I can do this!

Vocabulary

Bunch of tiny frogs – a lot of small frogs

Arranged – organized

Goal - objective

WAY too – very, very difficult

Fresh tempo – good time

gave up – stop doing something

DEAF – someone who can’t hear

Therefore – because of that

Eminem Quote

You may not like his style of music; however you have to agree with his lines.

And to the rest of the world, God gave you the shoes that fit you. So put ‘em on and wear ‘em and be yourself man. Be proud of who you are, even if it sounds corny, don’t ever let no one tell you; you ain’t beautiful.

• ‘Em – Sometimes this is how people say the word THEM. There are also the words:
• ‘Cuz – ‘cause – simply meaning because.
• ‘til – till – meaning Until.
• ‘head – meaning ahead

Do you want to see this words being used? Just check out the lyrics of some rap singer. They use it all the time.

Corny – if something sounds corny it is too sentimental that can even cause you embarrassment if said in public.

• "If I could rewrite the alphabet, I would put U and I together." - “Gosh, that’s so corny”

Ain’t – this abbreviation is particularly funny because it doesn’t have a simple meaning. Its meaning depends on the context.

• I ain’t telling you… (I am not telling you)
• Don’t let anyone tell you, you ain’t beautiful (You are not beautiful).
• Ain’t nothing like home. (There is not anything like home).

Notice that according to the English grammar the last sentence (Ain’t nothing like home) is wrong, because we can’t use two negative words in the same sentence).

• So you’d better say: Ain’t anything like home.

But do you want an advice? Do not use [ain’t] it sounds very informal.

New expressions

Hi everyone! I am Alisson Viana with new How to.

Ok, so two weeks ago I was listening to one of Akon’s song (Right now – Do you know this song?) and I noticed a rather curious expression: the apple of my eye. When I heard it I wondered: How can something be the apple of someone's eyes. So as I am a very curious guy I decided to find out the meaning for this expression. What I found was something that I never thought it would be possible.

I found that to be “the apple of someone’s eye” means to be their “favorite”, special or the best. For example, let’s suppose you are joined by your friend at a Café and he points to a place where many beautiful ladies are and then he says: “Look at that! What beautiful ladies, don’t you think?” And as you are in love with your girlfriend you reply: “Yeah, dude! They are really beautiful. But Katherine is the apple of my eye”. That means that although the ladies are all very beautiful your girlfriend is your favorite one. And that you’ve just got eyes for her.

Yet with this same expression let’s say your father bought himself a new car a week ago and now he has no time for anything else but for his new car, so you say: “My dad’s new car is the apple of his eye now. He doesn’t care about anything else anymore”.

Now Another expression that I normally use in my classroom with teachers or with my classmates to say that something is very easy: “It is as easy as pie”. You might be wondering: "But why pie?" The reason for English speakers to use pie has nothing to do with making the pie, because they are not so easy to make, although I haven’t ever tried it. The easiness comes with the eating which means that it is very easy to eat. One example that I didn’t forget when I heard was when my teacher was giving me my test and saying: “Don’t worry; it's going to be as easy as pie”. Likewise you can say that something is as easy as pie, you can also say that something isn't as easy as pie. For example, let’s suppose you have been studying English for many years, have read many and many books, but even though you don’t think you’ve learnt much. As a result you thought about laying off English then you say, "That's it! I will lay off English. I've been studying it since I was 10 now I am 19 and I do not know much about it. Learn English isn't as easy as pie.”

Well guys, that’s it for today. I hope you like it. And don’t forget to leave your comment. And see you next time.

Vocabulary

Rather: Bastant

Find out: Descobrir

Dude: Cara

The easiness: A facilidade

Likewise: Da mesma forma

Lay off: Deixar

Como dizer: Dormir feito pedra

Hi everyone, how is it going? Well, I hope life has been treating you kind! This is Alisson Viana with a new Dicas de Inglês. Today’s “How to” is all about the expression sleep like a log.

Well, as you may already know July’s coming and that means: Holidays. Yes, that’s just great. Is there any other better thing than that? You don’t need to wake up early, don’t need to keep thinking about tests, like I normally do. Not mention that you can spend hours in front of your computer talking to your online friends and dedicate more time to learn English here with me at Dicas de Inglês.

There is something that you don’t know about me, which is I do like sleeping. When I am on holidays I usually sleep like a log. Even though my mother keeps saying: “Alisson, you should not sleep so much.” Hey, hold on a second! What did I mean by sleep like a log? It sounds a little strange, doesn’t it? Yes, it does. However there is a slightly similar expression in Portuguese, which is: “Dormir feito pedra.” Yes, I bet you’ve heard of it or even said that before.

In English when someone sleeps very soundly that even a thunderstorm wouldn’t wake him up, we say that he sleeps like a log. As you know a log is a thick piece or tree trunk or branch, specially one cut for burning on a fire, and it is not need to say that a log cannot move, right? So, if you are going to do like me and sleep for hours, you probably are going to sleep like a log. Let’s see another example with this same expression.

Everyone in our family sleeps like a log, so no one heard the thunderstorm in the middle of the night. Nothing can wake us up. We usually sleep like a baby.

Well guys I am afraid I have to go now, I hope you’ve enjoyed my tip and learned something new today. Don’t forget that whenever you have any question; just ask me leave me a comment that I will be right there waiting for you. Thank you very much and see you next time.

Como surgiu o primeiro Poço - The first well

There once was a small kingdom around a lake. One very hot summer, it did not rain and the lake dried up. People grew anxious and went to the King. “It has not rained for so long. Our fields are barren!” said the farmers. “There are no fish to catch. How shall we earn a living?” asked the fishermen. “Save us from disaster, good King,” urged the women, as their children cried with thirst.

The King sent his four generals in all directions to look for water. The first general went east, towards the sunrise; the second went south, to the dust and heat; the third went west, where the sun sets; and the fourth followed the North Star.

They searched day and night, night and day; high and low they searched everywhere, but in vain. Three of the generals returned, empty-handed. But the general who had gone north was determined not to fail his King. At last, he reached a cold mountain village.

As he sat at the foot of the mountain, an old woman came by and sat next to him. The general pointed at the horizon and said, “I belong to a beautiful kingdom, where it has not rained for a whole year. Can you help me find water?”

The woman motioned the general to follow her up the mountain and into a cave. “We have no water in our country either,” she said. Then, pointing to the icicles in the cave, she continued: “We call this ice. Take some, and your kingdom will never go thirsty again.” The general broke off a huge piece, loaded it onto his horse-cart and rushed back home.

By the time he reached the court, the enormous icicle had melted into a small lump of ice. Nobody in the court had ever seen ice, so everybody gazed at it with wonder. “This must be a water-seed!” one of the ministers exclaimed suddenly. The King ordered the ‘water-seed’ to be sowed immediately.

While the farmers dug a hole, the lump dwindled in the sun. They swiftly placed the seed in the hole, but before they could cover it up, it had vanished. The farmers there grew confused and worried. They dug deeper and deeper into the earth, all night long, looking for the mysterious seed.

At the break of dawn, the King found the farmers fast asleep around a hole. Curious, he peeped in and cried out in amazement: “Wake up, my worthy men – the water-seed has sprouted! There’s water in the hole!” This is how the first well was created.

Upside down and Get caught

Hello everybody. This is Alisson Viana with a new podcast. For tips, curiosity and other podcasts just go at alissonviana62.blogspot.com.br

So, today I am gonna talk about some new expressions that we can use on our conversations so that it can flow more naturally, okay? And today’s expression’s are: upside down and to get caught.

But just before I start explaining the meaning and usage for them let me tell you guys what happened to me and to my classmates last week. As you may already know I studied in a Federal High School named IFRN where I was supposed to study subjects related to the electronic engineering field. And one of the subjects that I studied there was called hydropneumatic. From pneumatic we understand that it is something operated by air pressure, but please don’t ask me to give more details about it.

Well, the thing is that our teacher Roberto asked us to draw pneumatic circuits, which were on an exercise list. If you have no idea what a pneumatic circuit is just look at the picture, then you will know what I am talking about.

He also told us that one of the drawing would appear on the test that we were going to do on the day next. Since we knew that one of the circuits was going to appear on the test, we knew that the most logical thing to do was to draw them repeatedly. I myself drew twice each drawing and they were twelve, which means that I drew them twenty-four times. At that I was able to draw the circuit upside down.

Life on the less than sunny side of Spain

Quantas e quantas vezes já se ouviu falar de pessoas que migram de um lugar para outro em busca de melhores condições de vida? Muitas vezes essas pessoas são acolhidas pela sorte e conseguem se “manter vivas”, por assim dizer. Contudo, o destino não é tão fiel a todos, como é o caso de Isaak.

A matéria que eu trouxe para analisar no “Dicas de Inglês” mostra, de forma resumida, a história de um homem que mora dentro de uma estrutura metálica junto com outros 4 companheiros.

Como o blog é destinado a dicas, então abordaremos aqui vocabulário, estruturas gramaticais.

Segue o texto:

Life on the less than sunny side of Spain

The agricultural region around Spain’s Almería is home to thousands of illegal immigrants living in slum-like conditions. Amid the economic crisis, many want to return to Africa, but lack the means to get home.

When the sun shines, Isaak’s home turns into an oven. The 30-year-old, who came to Spain from Ghana, sits on a mattress and knocks on the roof of his shelter.

“That’s metal – in the summer you can burn your finger on it,” he told Deutsche Welle.

The shelter is made from an upside down cargo hold of a truck, and is too low to stand up in. Nonetheless Isaak shares it with four other African immigrants.

Rust has eaten away at the metal in some places, so that when it Raíns, the water drips inside.

Each man has his own mattress. Isaak keeps his possessions, which consist of clothing, a bible, toiletries and a photo of his family back in Ghana, in plastic and cloth bags. Next to his bed is a bag of groceries from the Red Cross.

“I don’t have any work, so it’s almost impossible to find anything at the moment,” he said.

Isaak’s shelter is located amid a sea of greenhouses in San Isidro near Almería. The region, located in Spain’s rural southeast, is known as “Europe’s greenhouse.” Huge stretches of land are covered with sheets of plastic, making the area look like a giant mirror in satellite images.

Este texto é de autoria de Stefen Leidel, editor Sam Edmonds – retirado so site Deutsche Welle. Para ter acesso ao texto completo basta acessar o link: http://www.dw.de/dw/article/0,,15728967,00.html – Para que você possa ler e compreender o texto, eu criei uma versão traduzida com um vocabulário que, em minha opinião, é muito importante.

Languages at risk of disappearing

Será que é possível uma língua deixar de existir? Será que você já parou para pensar a respeito de tal fato? A resposta para a primeira pergunta é sim! E é sobre isso que o texto a seguir fala. Algumas línguas que são faladas hoje correm o risco de desaparecerem, isto porque os falantes dessas línguas estão morrendo.

O que acontece quando uma língua desaparece é que toda a cultura por trás dela também desaparece. Tendo em consideração que ela foi falada algum dia por um povo que tinha toda uma história de vida. Para se ter noção basta imaginar a língua portuguesa vanishing from the world (ser varrida do mundo). As histórias, por trás das palavras, suas origens e variedade desaparecem também.

Bem, mas agora vamos ao texto. Veja no final o vocabulário para algumas palavras. Mas não se preocupem o texto é bem fácil de ser entendido.

Of the more than 6,700 languages spoken in the world today, half are at risk of disappearing by the end of this century [source: UNESCO]. Every two weeks, the last living speaker of a language dies, taking the language with him [source: Living Tongues]. A small and declining number of speakers, as well as speakers who are older, point to an endangered language: When those speakers die, they leave no one to use the language. Linguists then consider this language dead, although if the tongue has been recorded, they may call it a "sleeping" language -- one that could be revived later.

Phrasal Verbs

Hello everybody. Welcome again to a new “Dicas de Inglês” here with me Alisson Viana.

And today we’re gonna talk about a very important subject that is called Phrasal Verbs.

So, you might be wondering: Why should I learn phrasal verbs? Well, in my opinion phrasal verbs are very important because if you are speaking with a native English speaker, for example, you’ll hear tones of phrasal verbs being used. And the most interesting about this is that they don’t think about phrasal verbs as we do, because it is part of their language. So phrasal verbs are very important for us to express our thoughts that can’t be expressed otherwise.

So, but just before we start with our lesson of today, let’s read a text and let’s try to comprehend it. Don’t worry I won’t be speaking just in English. I will sometimes speak in Portuguese so you can understand too. Okay? So, let’s get started!

Interviewing a singer

Hello friends. This is Alisson Viana with a new “Dicas de Inglês”. I am very pleased to see how well we are doing to improve our English. It has been a while now that I am writing and sharing my English with you. I know that there are a lot to improve yet, but I believe that we can learn together, right? If you have any suggestion or correction about my writing, speaking or whatever let me now, because just like you I am also learning English. And actually this is the prime reason why I made this blog.

So, let’s stop beating around the bush and let’s get started. Today I brought here a video of a famous artist in the world of singing. I bet you have already heard about her. Many people criticize her for behaving eccentrically just to get attention. For many she is also known for having a bad taste for clothes. Do you know who I am talking about? Yes, I am talking about Lady Gaga.

Expressions with the word Dog

Hello everyone, welcome to a new “Dicas de Inglês” here with me Alisson Viana. And today we are looking at some useful phrases using the word Dog.

So, for everyone Dog is considered to be a man’s best friend, that’s not a secret for anyone, right? What maybe not everyone knows is that the word dog can be used to describe lots of ideas in English. For example, you know that we are living a competitive world. Certainly you’ve heard that being good is no longer enough and that got to be the best one in whatever we get into. There is a good explanation for that. It’s because people are becoming aware of the importance that should be put on education and preparation for work, like dedicating more time to study an perhaps having a superior education grade. If you don’t keep up with the speed that the job market requires from you, you will be left behind. It is because we are living a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same thing. In this example for good jobs.

I have a couple of friends who keep this is mind that they have to work like a dog to be successful in their lives. It is certainly true, though. Nevertheless, they also have to be willing to lay off most of the things that they are used to do like hanging out with friends, going to movies and so on. As a consequence of such hard work is that they are likely to get dog tired. And because of that they won’t be able to enjoy their hobbies. I guess you are quite familiar with this expression. In Portuguese we say: “Cansado feito burro”. Another way of passing the same message is by saying to be sick as a dog, which sounds even worse.

Now, to be really successful people should learn new things to improve their skill at work. However there are lots of people, often older people, who firmly believe that you can never teach an old dog new tricks, because they do not like to be taught by someone else. It means that no matter what you say, they will never change the way they do things. Some people are so convinced of that that they may even get offended if you try to pursue them to think otherwise. The situation happened to me when I was trying to convince my grandmother that she should learn how to use a computer. She told me that it was useless and it would be better not to insist, otherwise I’d be in the dog’s house. What she meant indeed was that I should not keep nagging her about this learning how to use a computer thing.

Common English expressions

Olá a todos! Sejam bem vindos mais uma vez ao “Dicas de Inglês” aqui comigo Alisson Viana. Hoje nós vamos estudar sete expressões em inglês que são bastante utilizadas. Eu tenho certeza que aprendendo estas expressões você vai se dar bem melhor no quesito aprender a ouvir em inglês, porque muitas das vezes a gente não consegue entender o que uma pessoa está falando, porque ela está utilizando expressões idiomáticas, que são uma característica particular de cada idioma. Então eu trouxe para vocês hoje sete expressões que eu tenho certeza que vai ajudar vocês bastante.

Do not make a fool of yourself with false friends!

Segundo Bob, o amigo dele é um adept em previsão do tempo. Adepto? Não, não: é mestre no assunto!

E esse mesmo amigo, de acordo com Bob, amassed uma grande fortuna! E quem quer fortuna amassada? Sossegue, ele acumulou, não amassou…

A Susan vem toda assustada dizer que a mãe ficou dismayed ao saber da notícia. Coitada, ficou desmaiada muito tempo? Você pergunta. Nada disso, a mãe ficou é consternada.

O contador está nervoso, explica Ted, porque as figures não batem. E figura bate em alguém? Não, ele está falando de números…

Vamos resume nossos lugares, pede John. Resumir lugar, como? Nada disso, ele quer que retomemos os lugares, nada mais…

Gail adora futebol e comenta que o Ronaldinho é um jogador terrific. Coitado, você pensa, só porque está com problemas já acham ele terrível!… Engano seu, ela quer dizer que ele é maravilhoso!

Gramática - (Em Inglês)

1. Present Continuous Tense

1.1 Something that is or isn’t happening right now

The present continuous is a tense used to express one action which is happening at this very moment, giving an idea of movement. The present continuous can also be used to express something that isn’t happening. When someone writes using the present continuous tense this person will likely use adverbs of time such as now, right now, at the moment and etc. However in spoken English it is not so used since most of the time the actions are taking place at the moment of speaking.

The structure of this verb tense is simple; as we are talking about present we’ll use the verb to be (without to) to build our sentences and we’ll also use auxiliary verbs when the sentence is in the negative or in the interrogative form. Also in this tense we’ll have a main verb which will be followed by the particle –ING

Look at the following example:

Ex.: My sister is eating ice-cream.

Note that this sentence has the following structure:

Subject + VERB TO BE + MAIN VERB + ING

Present Perfect Continuous

Olá todos. É interessante o quanto esses aspectos gramaticais intrigam estudantes de inglês. Costuma-se pensar que eles são os maiores vilões da história, mas o que de fato acontece é que eles são fundamentais para que possamos nos comunicar com mais fluência. Por que não aprendemos? Porque para aprendê-los é preciso conhecer o porquê de usá-los. Como assim teacher?

Okay: O present perfect será sempre usado para se referir a uma ação que aconteceu no passado e que ainda tem alguma relação com o presente. Ou para ser mais claro ainda, sempre que você não tiver na frase um demarcador de tempo [palavras como yesterday, last night, an hour ago, in 1993] você nunca usará o present perfect, pois estas palavras já demonstram atividades finalizadas no passado.

Fail

This was a really funny image I had to share here. Do you think it was his intention to see that? I bet he will never use that shirt ever again. lol

Wtf?

Será que você conseguiu ler o que está na imagem? Se tiver conseguido deixe escrito no comentário o que você viu!

Usando a palavra Tip

Hello everyone this is Alisson Viana with a quick tip. And actually it is exactly about the word “tip” that I am going to talk about today. The first use of this word is to give extra information to someone, like when you need help to answer a question that you consider to be very hard. Let’s suppose I made a question to you and you didn't know had to answer it, then I tell you:

“Ok, that’s fine I am gonna give you a tip” slowly

"Ok, that's fine I am going to give you a tip"

What I mean is that I am going to help you out with this question since it seems to be hard to you.

The second use of the word tip is to give an extra amount of money for a service, which can be a room serve in a hotel or maybe to a waiter in appreciation of his efforts to serve you well and many other services. In the United States there is a tradition to tip everyone who offers you a service like carrying your bags to your room, bringing a bottle of wine and so on. Just check out the bellow example:

Ex.: The boy from the Hotel took our bags to our room, and from the way he kept standing there in the doorway with his hand slightly out, palm up, you could tell he was hoping for a tip.

After that, we can also use the word tip like this. I was telling my mom about an awkward situation that happened to one of my friends last week. As I was telling her what happened she stopped me and asked: “What’s his name again please? Is it, umm! Don’t tell me I know his name. It is just on the tip of my tongue. Golly gosh I can’t remember it”

Okay, now in Portuguese we could say. “Ah o nome dele está na ponta da minha língua” Oh, his name is Just on the tip of my tongue. You know his name very well, but you can’t come up with the actual word.

Well, that was it for today. I hope this tip suit your needs on learning English. If you have any suggestion or any question let me know by leaving a comment or sending me an email for alisson-62@hotmail.com I am Alisson Viana and this was one more “Dicas de Inglês.” Good bye.

Watch and learn

To settle down: você pode também encontrar: “to calm, to hush up” e quer dizer: aquietar-se, sossegar, ou até mesmo, de uma forma mais ampla, casar-se e constituir uma família. Acredito que você conheça a música da cantora Adele – Someone like you, onde ela utiliza esta expressão. Veja como ela diz:

E.: I heard that you’re settle down, that you found a girl and you’re married now. (Eu ouvi dizer que você está estabilizado (sossegado), Que você encontrou uma garota e agora está casado).

Veja outro exemplo com esta mesma expressão: Please settle down and take your seats (Por favor, acalmem-se e voltem aos seus assentos).

Show Off

[Yes, the view is nice, but I mostly want people to look up here and think how rich I am.]

Ao ler estas linhas qual é a primeira palavra que vem a sua mente? Aposto que seja “Amostrado”. Isso mesmo, pois o cara da tirinha convidou o amigo, não para que ele pudesse ver a vista de cima, que é linda, mas para que o amigo visse o quanto ele é rico.

Em inglês a expressão para caracterizar o personagem que fala é: Show Off.

Se alguém shows off, é porque ele ou ela está tentando causar uma boa impressão. Elas querem que as pessoas as admirem. O problema, contudo, está na forma que cada pessoa fala. No exemplo da tirinha o cara foi bem poker face, porque ele deixou logo claro a sua intenção ao chamar o amigo.

A good example of showing off is when you buy something new and you want everyone to know that you have that. Another very, very common one is when you see someone doing a wheelie on a public highway. Everyone knows that doing wheelie is extremely dangerous, but only do that to show off.

Show off: amostrar-se/Ser exibido

doing a wheelie: Empinar/Andar em um pneu

poker face: cara-de-pau

Vocabulary about: The house

Certo pessoal, hoje nós vamos aprender como dizer algumas partes da nossa casa em inglês. Para isso escolhi uma imagem enumerada de 1 a 27, para que vocês possam saber de qual parte estou me referindo. Esta primeira parte, como vocês podem observar, contém as palavras básicas ou a parte frontal da casa. Abaixo está toda a descrição dada por mim. Às vezes será apresentada apenas a definição da cada item.

1. Esta primeira palavra é bastante fácil, se fala Roof /ruf/: É a parte mais alta de uma construção, e quer dizer, telhado. Sempre que vejo esta palavra me lembra da música: Love by Grace – Lara Fabian. Acredito que é este o motivo pelo qual eu nunca tenha esquecido o seu significado. A cantora ao usar esta palavra em sua música diz: “I remember the rain on the roof that morning” – “Eu me lembro da chuva no telhado aquela manhã”.

Roof - I remember the rain on the roof that morning

Climate Changes

O “Dicas de inglês” hoje trás para vocês um tema muito importante a ser discutido. É um tema que vemos bastante ser noticiado na TV, em revistas e nos jornais. Este post se enquadra em “Social Worries”, pois nós como seres humanos, também fazemos parte do meio ambiente. “Climate Chages” foi um dos temas abordados durante um encontro de conversação de língua inglesa, pelo grupo “Let’s Talk” no qual eu fazia parte.

Ao trabalhar Mudanças Climáticas, foram utilizados alguns recursos de multimídia como: vídeo, música, e slides. Tudo para que os participantes pudessem interagir ao máximo, a fim de proporcionar um momento bem dinâmico. Na disposição dos slides foram aplicadas questões, para que os alunos presentes pudessem refletir sobre o assunto.

As perguntas discutidas foram:

1 - What’s climate change? 2 – Is it real? How do we know? 3 – Why should we care?

4 – What can we do?
