MELHORE SEU INGLÊS COM FILMES E SERIADOS

Umas das melhores formas de melhorar um idioma é assistindo filmes e seriados, mas se seu inglês ainda não é avançado existem algumas técnicas para você:

Técnica 1

1- Assista ao filme/seriado com legenda em Português

2- Assista ao filme/seriado com legenda em inglês

3- Assista ao filme/seriado sem legenda

4- Repita o item três quantas vezes tiver vontade, enquanto mais REPETIR mais vai ABSORVER.

Técnica 2

1- Comece assistindo com a legenda em Português

2- Passe para a legenda em Inglês

3- Agora assista sem legenda

Alterne entre os três, enquanto melhor for seu inglês mais tempo deixe na parte sem legenda.

Técnica 3

Assista ao filme com o áudio em Português,  mas com a legenda em inglês, parece estranho, mas esse é um ótimo exercício porque enquanto você ouve e tem uma compreensao total no audio você acompanha o equivalente em inglês.

Adapte as técnicas para melhor adaptar seu estilo de aprendizado e divirta-se.

LONG LIFE

Todd: So, Monica, a minute ago we were talking about Tai Chi and about how it helps longevity, helps you live a long life. One time when I was in Bangkok, I met a guy and he was doing Tai Chi and he looked really young, but he said the secret to his old life ... he said the secret to looking young, was Tai Chi and cold showers. He took a cold shower every morning.
Monica: Oh, wow!
Todd: Could you do that?
Monica: No, I don't think I could actually.
Todd: Yeah, you know, I actually tried it for awhile and I tried it for about a week and I did feel so energized and it was easy in Bangkok, cause it's really warm but I couldn't keep it up, especially not that I'm in the cold climate. There's no way.
Monica: Yeah, I remember when I was young, my mother used to teach me to splash my face with cold water in the morning because she believed that helped wake you up, and I remember as a child not liking that at all because I found it too cold. I preferred to splash my face with warm water.
Todd: So, have you heard about any other secrets to having a long life?
Monica: Yeah, I've heard of quite a few different secrets to having a long life. I guess one secret that a lot of different cultural groups seem to share is diet. If you take the Japanese as an example, and Japanese people do have a long life expectancy in comparison to other people from ofher countries. I think the Japanese eat a diet that's quite low in fat and reasonably low in salt as well, and I think their fluid intake is quite healthy because they drink a lot of green tea which has antioxidants in it, and a they drink a lot of miso soup which has a lot of vegetables in it, and is made from fermented barley, so I think that's very healthy.
Todd: I've also heard that people in the Mediterranean, they also often have a long life span in certain regions and maybe the combination of wine, just a little wine, not too much, but wine and olive oil, and then a lot of fish, seafood is also maybe beneficial to a long life.
Monica: Yeah, that's true. I've heard French people for example live a long life and that has often been said due to a glass of red wine a day, and I know people think differently about alcohol and it's affect on the body these days.
Todd: Right.
Monica: Yeah, because alcohol used to be considered quite a bad thing and discouraged in all forms but now people tend to think that a glass a day is actually quite beneficial to your health.
Todd: I've also actually heard that laughter, that people that laugh a lot tend to live longer.
Monica: Yeah, I've heard that too, actually, because laughing releases natural endorphins, and I think that helps you physiologically, and also I think psychologically you're happier if laughing so. Yeah, I think that long life is related to how you are feeling, and I think a lot of it is psychological as well as physical, for example, how much you are eating and what types of food you're eating.
Todd: Yeah, I guess, I'm kind of in the same boat, but I just don't know if I laugh that much. Maybe I'm in trouble.

Whoopi Goldberg QUOTES

“I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.”

“Normal is nothing more than a cycle on a washing machine”

“. . . what I am is a humanist before anything -- before I'm a Jew, before I'm black, before I'm a woman. And my beliefs are for the human race -- they don't exclude anyone.”

“We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.”

Paris Hilton QUOTES

“Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything.”

“The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday”

“The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.”

“No matter what a woman looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy.”

“I think it's important for girls to be confident. Believe in yourself and ... everybody's hot.”

“Wal-mart... do they like make walls there?”

I STAY IN LOVE

(CHORUS)
(refrão)
We've said "let go"
E sei que dissemos "deixa pra lá"
But I kept on hanging on
Mas eu continuei presa a isso
Inside I know it's over
Por dentro sei que acabou
You're really gone, it's killin' me
Você realmente se foi, está me matando
'Cause there ain't nothing that I can do
Porque não há nada que posso fazer
Baby, I stay in love with you
Querido, eu continuo apaixonada por você
And I keep on telling myself that you'll come back around
E continuo dizendo a mim mesma que você retornará
And I try to front like "oh well" each time you let me down
E eu tento enfrentar, com um "fazer o que?" cada vez que me decepcionava
See I can't get over you now, no matter what I do
Veja, eu não consigo esquecer você agora, não importa o que faça
But baby, baby, I stay in love with you
Mas querido, querido, eu continuo apaixonada por você

WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER

Its complicated, it always is

É complicado, sempre é
That’s just the way it goes

É assim que funciona
Feels like the way it is so long for this

Parece que a espera é sempre longa
I wonder if it shows

Me pergunto se é mesmo assim
And under water now i can breath

E sob a água, agora posso respirar
It never felt so good

Isso nunca foi tão bom
Cause i can feel it coming over me

E eu posso sentir isso vindo contra mim
I wouldn’t stop it if i could

E não pararei se puder
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah

E quando o amor toma conta
You know you can’t deny

Você sabe que não pode impedir
When love takes over yeaaah

E quando o amor toma conta
‘Cause something’s here tonight

Há algo aqui essa noite
Give me a reason I gotta know

Me dê uma razão, eu preciso saber
Do you feel it too?

Você sente isso também?
Cant you see me here on overload

Você não consegue me ver aqui sozinho
And this time I blame you

E desta vez eu te culpo
Hmm looking out for you to hold my hand

Procurando você para segurar minha mão
It feels like I could fall

Sinto que posso cair
Now love me right, like I know you can

Agora me ame, como sei que consegue
We could lose it all

Nós podemos perder isso tudo
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
Cause something’s here tonight
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight ....)
I'll be loving all the time, it's true
Cause I want to make it right with you
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over ...
Over, over, over ....
Chorus
When love takes over yeaaah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over yeaaah
‘Cause something’s here tonight

BACKPACKING!!!

Jeff: Now the world is small and there's this type of people who are called backpackers, and you've been a backpacker, or you are a backpacker. What's a backpacker and what do you think of them?
Jonathan: I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I'm a backpacker. I actually have a bag that rolls on wheels, so I don't know if I fit that category. When I was younger, then I certainly did go around with the backpack and considered myself to be a little bit a part of that community. I wouldn't say I really would consider myself one anymore because a lot of people that I meet who consider themselves to be backpackers, they almost have a little bit of an unusual perception of what they are, and they think somehow they're different from say tourists, and I meet people who say these things, like, I'm not a tourist, I'm a traveler, or "I'm not a tourist, I'm a backpacker" in some way suggesting that they are above being a tourist in some way, but in the same hand, I'll meet people who are in some area like say Khao San Road in Bangkok, which is famous as being a backpacker street, and I meet people who stay there for two weeks and only talk to other backpackers, and they end up at the end of their holiday saying how much they love Thailand, whereas the realty was they never really went anywhere except perhaps a little bit to a temple or something.
Jeff: So, are backpackers boys and girls, old people and young people, Indians and Canadians? Is there any, like, are all backpackers Americans for example?
Jonathan: Oh, no, actually, I meet very few Americans when I travel surprisingly. It seems that certain nationalities have a greater predisposition to travel. I meet as many Canadians as I do Americans despite the population of the United States being ten times larger than that of Canada's. I meet a lot of New Zealander's, whereas their population is comparatively tiny, but they can come from any place. I've met backpackers from all kinds of different walks of life, different age groups, different nationalities, but you do find that the majority of them are young people. Perhaps they're taking a year off before or after college. Maybe they just want to see a little bit of the world before they know they're going to be rooted in one place because perhaps from their field of study they think that their future is going to be more or less planned out and they want to get a bit of travel in before they embark on their career.
Jeff: So you have a wheely case, and you're not really a backpacker so is it OK if I call you a wheely-packer?
Jonathan: I suppose you could call me that, but I'm not sure whether other people would know that term, and if you don't mind, I'm not going to refer to myself as a wheely-packer.
Jeff: OK. Good luck on your next trip.
Jonathan: Thank you.

Smile!

“You can be happier at work if you smile more, even
if you have to fake it,” according to an article in the
Harvard University Gazette. Putting on a happy face
has positive benefits both for you and the people
around you. That’s true in personal and work
relationships. Smiling makes everyone feel good.
• Smile at your manager and co-workers.
• Smile when you walk in the door and greet
your partner.
• Smile when you talk on the phone with your mother.
• Try it right now! Smile and notice how it makes you
feel more relaxed and cheerful.

Why does your dog do that?

Just like humans, animals have their own little behavioural quirks. But what are the reasons behind why your dog does the things they do? Here we explore some of the top behavioural traits that most dogs share.

Why does my dog like to ride in cars with his head out the window?

This is an unusual one. Most dogs will react unfavourably when a person blows in their face yet, for some reason, they find it perfectly acceptable to stick their head out the car window and into the wind. The fresh air inundating them with interesting new scents is what makes your dog want to ride with the windows down. But be careful; debris flying past could damage your dog’s eyes or face.

Why does my dog eat grass?

Dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach or digestive system. Although usually carnivorous, eating grass alleviates this sick feeling. If you see them eating grass a lot, a trip to the vet may be in order.

Why does my dog go through the garbage?

They probably smelt something in there they want to investigate further. Dogs are curious animals and like to be at the forefront of the action; unfortunately this is why your garbage is now strewn everywhere! Make sure your bins are secure and that anything that could emit an odour is out of reach of your dog.

Why does my dog get dirty as soon as I’ve washed him?

Sorry to say but this one is a basic instinct and won’t be trained out easily. Dogs roll in the dirt in order to mask their scent and make them less susceptible to predators.

Why does my dog chew my shoes?

If your pooch is a puppy, it may be teething and needs something to chew on, like a human child. Or your dog could just want attention from you, even if it’s negative. Put your shoes in a secure place, buy your dog some actual chew toys and give them some more attention; maybe praising them for not chewing your shoes.

Why does your cat do that?

»
Why does your cat wash your hair or face? The first thing a kitten experiences, even before it can see, is its mother licking and washing. Grooming is a demonstration of love and caring. So, if your cat occasionally washes your hair or licks your face, he is showing you his acceptance and caring of you as a fellow feline.
»
Why does a cat "knead" or "make biscuits"? When a kitten is nursing, it typically kneads its paws against its mother, either as a sign of contentment or to encourage the milk flow. When the cat matures, it kneads to show its contentment and pleasure.
»
Why does a cat go to the visitor who doesn't like cats? When one cat is threatening another, it stares boldly, sometimes hisses, and frequently moves in toward the other cat. Usually, the person who doesn't like cats avoids looking at it, doesn't talk to it, and sits quietly, hoping to be ignored by the cat. The cat, therefore, sees the person's behavior as "cat-friendly" and practically inviting.
»
Why does your cat push its head against you? This is called "head butts". This is a cat's way of showing affection. Some cats will turn their head, and push it against a human (or another cat).
»
Why does a cat do a stiff-legged hop/touch against a human? That is the cat's body language of saying, "hey, hi there, how ya doin'?"

Madonna's quotes

“Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.”

“A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.”

“Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.”

“I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.”

“When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.”

Get 30 minutes of exercise every day

Regular physical activity decreases the risk of death
from heart disease, lowers the risk of developing
diabetes, and is associated with a decreased risk of
colon cancer. It also helps prevent high blood pressure
and helps you lose weight and keep it off.

• Think of yourself as an active person.

• Make physical activity a part of your everyday routine.
Go for brisk walks. Ride a bike. Dance. Do chores
around the house and in the yard. Take the stairs
instead of the elevator. Rake leaves.

• Get 30 minutes of activity that makes you breathe
harder, on most or all days of the week. If you can’t be
active for 30 minutes all at once, get at least 10
minutes of endurance activity at a time.

Make the most of your commute

Use your commuting time to relax, feel good, and
make the transition from home to work and back.

• Listen to books on tape. You might listen to a novel,
language tapes, or an inspirational recording. Many
public libraries have audio books.

• Be a discriminating listener. Avoid radio shows that
make you feel annoyed and that waste your time.

• Spend some time in silence. Revisit your day, think
about what’s ahead, and spend time in your thoughts.

• If possible, commute with someone you like one or
two days a week.

• If you can, take public transportation. Use the time to
read and reflect on your day.

Get 30 minutes of exercise every day

Regular physical activity decreases the risk of death
from heart disease, lowers the risk of developing
diabetes, and is associated with a decreased risk of
colon cancer. It also helps prevent high blood pressure
and helps you lose weight and keep it off.
• Think of yourself as an active person.
• Make physical activity a part of your everyday routine.
Go for brisk walks. Ride a bike. Dance. Do chores
around the house and in the yard. Take the stairs
instead of the elevator. Rake leaves.
• Get 30 minutes of activity that makes you breathe
harder, on most or all days of the week. If you can’t be
active for 30 minutes all at once, get at least 10
minutes of endurance activity at a time.

Cut back on caffeine

Coffee tastes great and it’s safe to drink in
moderation. But too much caffeine can make you
irritable. It can also upset your stomach and disturb
your sleep. Medical experts recommend that you
consume no more than 300 milligrams of caffeine
a day. That’s the equivalent of about two cups of
brewed coffee.
Start feeling better today by moderating your
intake of coffee, caffeinated tea, and soft drinks
with caffeine.

Start your morning off right

Breakfast boosts memory, improves your mood, and
can help control your weight. A number of research
studies have found that students who eat breakfast
score higher on tests. The same is true for adults.
People who eat breakfast also are generally thinner.
Start the day with a healthy breakfast like high-fiber
cereal or oatmeal and a glass of juice. If you’re not
much of a breakfast eater, try having a “smoothie” for
your morning meal—blend a banana, low-fat yogurt,
and orange juice together.
New research shows eating a nutritious breakfast every
morning may improve memory in healthy elderly people.

BUS STOP

Lynn: Why is there never a bus when you want one?

Sam: Good question. There aren't enough buses on this route.

Lynn: Sometimes I feel like writting a letter to the paper.

Sam: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.

Lynn: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general.

Sam: And fewer cars! There's too much traffic.

Lynn: Say, is that our bus coming?

Sam: Yes, it is. But look. It's full!

Lynn: Oh, no! Let's go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I'm going to write.
