Well, it was great! I understood many things in this video, everything I’d say, except this part (I’m gonna learn to paint and read more) But after 4 or 5 times I got it.
ANSWER: My new resolution is: keep on the same resolution that I did last year: Example: work out; to study English with more listening; to go to more theaters; to play my guitar and about to eat heathy, well, it’s easy for me, I’m vegetarian.
“I’m gonna eat healthy” (0:13) – it didn’t work – the guy asked 5 cheeseburger
“I’m gonna drink less” (0:18) – it didn’t work – the girl still drank a lot
“I’m gonna get a pet” (0:27) – it didn’t work –
“I’m gonna study more” (0:34) – it didn’t work – the girl loves watch fool site on the internet
“I’ll be more patient” (0:40) – it didn’t work – the guy lost his patient with his friend
“I’m gonna spend more time with my family” (0:52) – it didn’t work – after that question of her mother, the girl got out
“We’re gonna learn how to bake” (1:03) – It didn’t work – the couple was terrible, but they tryed. Point for them
“I’m gonna learn to paint / I’m gonna read more” (1:29) – it didn’t work – not exactually
“I’m gonna learn Chinese” (1:16) – it didn’t work – it didn’t work – not very well, but the guy is trying
Olá Ana eu consegui entender tudo, mas tenho dificuldade para falar e escrever.Se eu estivesse na sala de aula com o professor e ele pedisse para eu explicar eu travaria, mesmo tendo entendido o assunto. This’s horrible for me.HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Oi Giselle,
Então… a maioria das pessoas está na mesma situação q vc, eu diria :)
O que te falta (eu assumo, pois não sei da tua situação em detalhes) é prática rotineira de Listening.
Vc pode acessar minha orientação passo-a-passo clicando no link na barra lateral “Como Falar Inglês”. Recomendo também ouvir meu podcast no English Experts (busque “Ana Luiza” q vc encontra- chama “Como vc aprendeu inglês, Ana Luiza?”) pra vc ver que eu coloquei em prática aquilo que recomendo aos outros.
Enjoy!!
Olá Ana,
parabéns pelo blog!!
Na verdade parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho. Acompanho há muito tempo, mas é a primeira vez que eu escrevo aqui.
Agora vamos falar, qual a possibilidade de você lançar um app para o iPhone?
Ouço muito os podcasts, mas receber estas atualizações do blog no appzinho simples, porém formatado para o iPhone seria ainda melhor, e fácil de consultar a todo o momento.
Justíssimo que fosse pago.
Thanks a lot.
My resolution for this new year is to be happy with my family. :)
I will study seriously more , and as Carlos said from Internet , avoid waste time with internet .
Of course there are more things that will have around year , and will change the resolution. But I will try.
I think that if have many many resolutions , they confuse the objectives . As beginning , few resolutions and step by step , trying to do it.
Sorry Teatcher. Sinto-me desconsertado ante a habilidade de muitos alunos , e acho que há muitos erros . Mas vou me esforçar .
Thanks
OI Newton – não há do que se desculpar, please!… Há leitores de todos os níveis, e às vezes quem comenta são os que tem mais tempo de inglês. Vc leu a série Como FAlar Inglês daqui do site? Escolha um bom audio e bota seu player de mp3 pra trabalhar. Now that’s a good resolution :)
The first guy wanted eat healthier, however when he read a flaxseed box he didn’t like it so after he ordered five cheeseburguers later.
The second was a girl who wanted drink less in the next year, however when she was in a bar, a men offer drink and she accepted and after that she drunk a lot.
The third guy wanted get a pet, but his dog and his fish died too soon.
The girl wanted study more, but she preferred surfing on internet.
The man wanted to be more patient, however his friend drove him crazy.
I used to make resolution in the past years, but this year I decide don’t do this because I don’t want create expectations about my future. Of course I have dreams and goal but I don’t want decide if I have to realize them this year.
Very nice, Sálvian. I have to say, I can relate to many of these people :)
I’m like you… no resolutions for me.
I totally agree with Carlos. What’s wrong about resolutions is that most of the times we don’t set objective aims. We need to set things that we can fulfill, and more important, things that we can “measure” to make sure we had achieved them. Instead of “improve my English”, for this year my goal is to be able to watch a sitcom episode with no subs, and for getting it, I must keep listening as most as I can, and taking notes of new words to increase my vocabulary. That’s been working for me so far.
Anyway, I don’t have a thing against resolutions. I think having tasks, goals and dreams to reach is what keeps us going. By the way, last year I established a couple of resolutions and, incredibly, I did most of them. Seriously!
This year, besides improving my English, I wanna keep exercising (I always exercise on vacation but when school classes get back I stop and get lazy hahaha) and mainly get into USP! Seriously, I’m studying hard to apply for Journalism at USP and I’ll take the vestibular by the end of this year. Wish me good luck :)
A great 2013 for everyone! And thanks Ana for all the tips you shared with us thorought the last year. You have already your place at the heaven hahahahaha <3
Sounds great, Carolina.
I think many times people set big goals and fail to achieve them because they’re… just too big!!
And, you’re welcome :)
I can’t understand very well, but I think that think about bake wasn’t well.
I have many resolutions for this new year. My main resolution is study so much because I have to do a important exame. This is the more important thing to this year.
Happy studying, Walter!
Well, I always have many resolutions about New Year’s. The problem is that I have some objections with some resolutions, like, working out. I hate working out. Every time I try it, I regret to have promised it….. When it is about my work, it’s ok, I always carry it out. Now, I ‘ve just decided that I won’t promise things that I cannot perform. Just it! I guess it will be easier….
I do too, Rosi (hate working out). What I do is, I go for long walks almost every day.
One of the my resolutions is to continue learning English with Ana Luiza. Thanks for your excellent work. Have a wonderful year.
Yes! In this year, I will study English with the help of this site and perform many other projects! Good luck to us!
The girl who wanted to study more…just kept wasting her time with memes and other useless stuff on the Internet.
The guy who said He’d read more got disapointed by the size and quantitiy of the books. Instead, He chose to watch the movies.
The couple who wanted to learn how to bake…aparently they did not learn. LOL.
The boy who wanted a pet…just kinda sucked at being a pet owner.
And about my own resolutions? Well, I don’t like to make new years resolutions. I think they’re all destined to fail. And I think there’s several reasons for that, but the main reason is that these resolutions are kind of vague and imprecise.
I mean, “I will eath healthier”. Fine. What does that exactly mean? I will give up on eating at McDonalds once a week? Vague goals are harder to achieve, and it’s hard for you to realize wheter you’ve acomplished them or not. Instead, I think we should focus on smaller and more objective goals, if possible with some deadlines, like: “I’ll call a nutritionist next week and schedulle a meeting”, instead of “I will eath healthier”.
Ok, I’m gonna make one resolution: This year, I’ll improve my english, by listening to Ingles Online Podcast, and reading other tips like this one.
Thanks for everything, Ana Luiza. Happy New Year! :D
Great answers, Carlos.
I didn’t make resolutions either. I never do. Sometimes I make a decision in February or in July, etc…
You’re welcome! Happy New Year to you.
Não consigo entender o que o rapaz fala para o cara que esta tentando pegar a moeda (1:27)
Eu acho que ele fala “Pick up the dime!”, mas não tenho certeza não.
Carlos is right!
Sim, é uma moeda de dez centavos, que lá eles chamam de one dime. É uma das menores moedas que eles tem.
