You and Me Lifehouse - Song ♫

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With Nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't why I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove and
It's you and me and all of the people and
I don't why I can't keep my eyes off of you.

What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive

Among ou Between?

Aqui estão duas palavras que possuem o mesmo significado de 'entre': Among e between. Mas como e quando usá-las se ambas têm o mesmo significado? Para entender a diferença é bem fácil, basta saber o seguinte:

Among preposition - /ə'mʌŋ/: é utilizado quando queremos dizer entre várias outras coisas (o que pode ser três ou mais), essa palavra pode ser utilizada tanto para pessoa como para objeto. Então se lembre: sempre que tiver três ou mais coisas ou pessoas, utilize – Among.

Veja os seguintes exemplos:

Ex1: Don’t worry mum! I will be among friends. (Vários amigos sem se importar com a posição)

Não se preocupe mãe! Eu estarei entre amigos.

Ex2: Among all these things I don't know which one to choose.

Entre todas essas coisas eu não sei qual escolher.

Between preposition -/ bɪˈtwiːn/: esta palavra é utilizada quando algo ou alguém está entre duas coisas ou no meio delas – Se lembre: no more, no less but two.

Ex1: There is a great deal of similarity between Caroline and her mother.

Há uma grande semelhança entre Caroline e sua mãe. (Entre as duas).

Ex: You’ll have to choose between me and my brother.

Você terá que escolher entre eu e o meu irmão.

So, if you are in doubt between Among and Between think about numbers.

The Walking Dead

The first time I heard about this TV show was a long time ago when my father bought a DVD thinking that it was a movie. Instead it was the first episode of Season 1. When that episode “ended” I was kinda caught off guard because I was waiting for a real ending. However this is how the first episode ends.

Rick hears a helicopter pass overhead. He tries to follow it, but rides straight into a horde of walkers. The undead swarm Rick’s horse, toppling him. Rick scrambles underneath an abandoned tank, but walkers grab at him from both ends. Rick shoots several of them, then places the gun to his temple. “Lori, Carl, I’m sorry,” he says. Looking up, he sees an open hatch underneath the tank. He crawls inside.

Inside, a dead soldier turns to bite Rick. He shoots. Walkers surround the tank as Rick seals himself inside, with no idea what he’ll do next. The tank’s radio crackles. “Hey you, dumbass,” a voice says. “You in the tank. Cozy in there?”

And for my surprise all of a sudden the “movie” ended. I was like: “Excuse me? How does a movie end without sense?”Since I love zombie-movies, I had to see what this was all about. At first I have to confess that I was a little skeptic, but the trailer convinced me otherwise.

Dica de pronúncia

Black is better than red. You’d rather have someone owe you $100 than owe someone $100. Better to have $10,000 in the bank than to be $10,000 in the hole. Financial security brings peace—debt brings grief. That’s just common sense.

Acredito que vocês ainda não tenham ouvido falar sobre a revista The Trumpet. Sou assinante desta revista há dois anos, aproximadamente, e a utilizado para estudar inglês, of course. Você também pode assinar e recebê-la bimestralmente em sua casa. Certo, agora o que você está louco para ouvir! Totalmente grátis! Isso mesmo, e para fazer sua assinatura, basta clicar aqui.

Mas não decidi escrever esta dica falando sobre a revista. Quero focar nossa atenção para a palavra “Debt”. Não é difícil descobrir o seu significado, não é verdade? Não, não é! Isso porque ela se parece muito com seu significado em português: Débito. O motivo que me fez escrever esta dica foi porque a primeira vez que vi esta palavra, eu a li como se fosse (Débt) – com a letra B sendo pronunciada. O que não acontece. Agora dê só uma olhada como se pronunciar esta palavra de forma correta.

Debt /det/

› something owed, esp. money:

He managed to pay off his debts in two years.

› If you are in debt, you owe money or a favor:

We seem to be perpetually in debt.

I didn’t understand those math problems and Alex helped me. I am in debt to him. (I owe him a favor)

Na imagem está escrito: An awesome secret about America’s National Debt. (Um incrível segredo sobre o débito nacional dos Estados Unidos).
