Hey… what’s up?

Se o título do post não fez muito sentido pra você… é que esses dias andei olhando várias das dicas de inglês que eu já escrevi, e daí tive a ideia de fazer um texto que usasse algumas expressões que já foram comentadas em dicas ou podcasts anteriores. O título foi formado com as três primeiras da lista

Bom, a ideia inicial era ser apenas um texto… mas como eu tinha um tempinho livre resolvi gravar o áudio também. Ouça o áudio e leia o texto, mas não pare por aí: clique nos links dentro do texto, e reveja as dicas aqui do Inglês Online que falam sobre a expressão relacionada.Quanto mais exposição você tiver, mais as palavras vão entrando.

Taí: se você está em SP e não ia fazer nada no feriadão, já arrumou o que fazer! Se você não está em SP, que tal ouvir, ler e reler sobre esse vocabulário de inglês no seu horário livre (da meia-noite às 6?)

[Audio intro] Hi, this is Ana Luiza of inglesonline.com.br and this is not my typical podcast. This is the audio for a short text I wrote… where I use expressions that I have already talked about, either in a podcast or in a previous lesson. The title of this post is “Actually, I couldn’t care less that you’re a heavy sleeper: é hora da revisão”. Look it up in the blog to read the text. Also, in the text, you’ll find links to the related lessons in the blog.

So here’s the story:

I have two friends, Teresa and Livia, who live in the city of Campinas. I have a lot of fun with them because, despite being so different from one another, they have this in common: they’re both very funny people.

Despite all their differences, Teresa and Livia are best friends. Livia is a passionate soccer fan; she’s so passionate about supporting her team that she will go anywhere to watch them play. Teresa, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about soccer. She’s been to soccer matches with Livia once or twice, but when I asked her if she had enjoyed the experience, she said “Meh.”

Another thing that sets them apart is that Teresa is a stickler for punctuality. She is almost never late for anything. If you set up an appointment with her, she’ll be there ten minutes early. Guess what? Livia is the opposite. Nine times out of ten, she’ll be late for an appointment. Every once in a while she’ll pull a Teresa and be on time, but don’t count on it!

But she’ll never fail to give you a call and let you know she’s running late. Livia is a thoughtful person, that’s for sure. Actually, that runs in the family: her sister and father are always very thoughtful as well. If you tell them you like watermelon, they’ll make sure to have watermelon next time you visit!

Teresa is a light sleeper whereas Livia is a
