Long time ago, my cousin had a small forró band that I loved. All parties that this band was playing, I was present. One day I called my cousin asking where they would play, but he said that unfortunately that day I couldn’t go because they would play at a private party. On the same day a friend of mine called me asking me to go on the birthday of a friend of ours. When I arrived at the party, it was they same party that they would play! It was the same private party. What a nice surprise! What is the odds???
Once a friend of mine rented a van to watch a soccer game in other city, There was a girl who used to live in the same neighborhood that I for many years and we had never met. She told me her father knew my friend and they shared the expenses. At the stadium she sat beside me and then we started something. To make a long story short: We got married !!!! What are the odds?
Great example, Alexandre!! What are the odds??
Good afternoon Ana,
Some months ago my friend invited me to going to a party. I didn’t know who was the host, but when I arrived there I found my colleague there was many years (about 10 years) since last time that we met.
What are the odds?
thanks!
hahaha… Don’t you love when that happens?
My coincidence case is that I was searching for a perfect site to improve my listening skills in english and the first one I found was just the best one I met: Inglês Online : )
hehe… cool, Adrian :)
Hi Ana!
Nice podcast. I really love the words and expressions that you teach every time!
Please, keep the good job!
Thank you!
Aconteceu algo parecido comigo. Um dia, fui a Fortaleza e decidi visitar minha cunhada no seu trabalho, que eu
não sabia onde era. No momento em que eu ia atravessar uma rua ela estava indo para o trabalho e me
reconheceu.

Sim, é por aí mesmo: What are the odds?
Hi, Ana,
Eu havia ido a Fortaleza-CE em uma excursão. Já morei lá no passado mas hoje posso dizer que não conheço
mais ninguém por lá, além da minha cunhada e sua família. Eu ia visitá-la em seu trabalho, que eu não sabia onde era. Para encontrá-la teria que pedir informações. A coincidência é que eu estava justamente no lugar onde ela iria passar para o trabalho. Ela passou, reconheceu-me, e eu não tive o trabalho de procurar por ela.

Another great example for… What are the odds??
Hi, Ana,
The odds are the fact that I’d look for my
sister-in-law but she’d found me instead.

Hello Ann! Good morning! How’s it going?
I understood your podcast. I don’t have example, because I don’t remember anything; it must have happened some coincidence in my life but I can’t remember now. Sorry Ann!
A hug!
No problem. Next time, Fátima :)
No problem! Post your example once you remember!
Hi, Ana! I’ve lived a weird situarion like that. I live in a City about 300 km from Sao Paulo and I decided spend a weekend there. So I said to my doughter ( she was 21 years old) that I was going… And she said to me: “really? Ig, I’m going
to Sao Paulo a day after you, with a friend and we’ll stay in her father’s house… I din’t know well where ir is. By the way see you when we both back home”. For my surprise, in my last day in Sao Paulo I went ro have breack fast in a big grocery and few minutes after I came in, there was my doughter! As you know, Sao Paulo is one the biggest city in the world! Thats all!
Wow, what are the odds??
