Hey Ana luiza, what’s up?
I was looking for website that could help me to be fluently , and I’ve discovered this one. I already read and listened ,of course , a lot of the stuffs here. Your podcasts are too great and you speak very well, infact. So, I want to know what kinds of audios can I put in a mp3? If I download a podcast of yours , it counts like a audio that might help me ? Sorry for my wrongs . I looking forward to your answer. Thanks”
Hey, Mauro – no problem. I always look for super common expressions.
hello Ana, this podcast was very interesting. Also very common in our everyday conversation…congratulations!
Hi Anna,
I think this podcast has a lot in common with the last podcast (you reap what you sow), I mean, this expression “what goes around, comes around” is similiar to “you reap what you sow”. If you do bad things, you will receive bad things in exchange. It also reminded me of another brazilian expression that has to do with today’s topic: O feitiço volta contra o feiticeiro ( what goes around, comes around). I’d like to thank you for the good work. I always look things up on internet and whenever I visit your website I learn a lot with your podcasts. Keep up the good work.
Hi Joao,
Yep, they’re definitely related in their meanings. Thanks ;) Glad to know you’re enjoying the podcasts.
The expression “Pay back in kind” can also be use is these cases?
i guess it’s related. That means you’d do to a person the same thing they did to you.
Hi Ana, I miss you all tis time I was out, studying hard, but your English classes surely helpd me-
Well , about your podcast, I can say it “de carteirinha” by my own…..
My father emigrated to Brazil a long time ago, meanwhile his relatives tooked their heritage that belongs him, because they wouldn’t think that he could comes back, so now we are requiring our rights hardly through the law…
So…..What’s goes arounf, comes around, they will get a taste of their medicine.
Thanks for your English Tips
Regards
Hi Vera,

Hello, I think all of us know examples of people that had bad action and after this, the actions comes around to them. I had a friend that did a lot of bad things to many people in the college. So, the people and me started to leave her. Now, she is alone. She have only her boyfriend. Like I enter in the college at the third period(before this, I studied in other University and I go to the University that I study now by a exam of transfer). I didn’t know she did bad things to others and for me she was a good person. But after, I perceived the way she behaved and started to connect the dots. What goes around, comes around. She did bad things, now other people do bad things to her. I know that my text is so confused, something I want to explain but I don’t find the words or expressions to explain. Please, correct my wrongs if you can. Thank you, Nicole.
Hi Nicole,
Your text is better than you think. Great example!
Hello Ana.
Today’s post are similar with the last week when you did focus the popular saying “you reap what you sow”, such a great tip. I already saw a couple of situations where we could apply it at all. I’ll talk about a sad situation lived around me.
I have a coworker that was looking for create a bad situation to harm her collegue. They were in a very friendship, but of course, one was ready to stab her friend in the back. All she was planning to make against her friend it was discovered and her boss chew her out. I belive that what you go around, you’ll probably come around. She didn’t taste of her medicine, but she had a discipline scold to learn how treat people without an second bad intention.
Thanks Ana.
Hi Diogo,
Good thing the boss figured out your coworker’s plans before she had a chance to act!
Hi!
It’s been a long time since I entered the site for the last time, but I came back and I’d like to say thanks to all your great tips!
I’ve got a friend that asked so many girls out, and he usually had one or two of these girls in love with him, but he always acted like he didn’t care about it. But, one day, he falled in love with a girl who was his female version! She had dates with many guys and he was only one of them… In the college all of our friends started doing jokes saying he got a taste of his own medicine, because, for sure, what goes arround, cames arround!
Great example, Veronica… That happens all the time!
