Today, I have a guest. Teacher Taíla Gimenez and I will talk about 21st century skills being developed in schools and how to use Project-Based to develop them.

Verb "to be" defines you and me

I am, you are, we all use 'to be',

In the simple present, it's easy, you'll see.

I am hungry, you are late for tea,

But 'to be' can be tricky, just wait and see!

To be, to be, it's quite a ride,

In the simple present, we can't hide.

To be, to be, it's plain to see,

It's the verb that defines you and me!

She is happy, he is sad,

They are all acting a bit mad.

The dog is barking, the cat is purring,

But sometimes 'to be' can be quite stirring!

In the morning, I am yawning,

At night, we're all a bit dawning.

But 'to be' keeps us going strong,

Even when everything seems wrong!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing,

But 'to be' sometimes needs a little winging.

I am here, you are there,

Together, we make quite the pair!

So let's raise a toast to 'to be',

In the simple present, we're all free.

To be, to be, it's our decree,

In this crazy world, it's the key to glee!

When something pop-up in your memory, did you remember or were you reminded?

Listen and find out

Hello everyone

On this episode, I bring to you the diffences between the verbs Do and Make.

Hello and welcome to the Best English podcast by Teacher Bruno Gon. Today, we're diving into the world of 'may,' 'might,' 'can,' and 'could.' Join us as we navigate their meanings, dissect their differences, and uncover the motivational aspects that influence their use in everyday communication. Let's start by defining our quartet of modals: 'May' is used to express possibility or permission. It suggests a higher degree of likelihood compared to 'might.' 'Might' also expresses possibility but with a lesser degree of certainty than 'may.' It implies a lower likelihood or a more hypothetical scenario. 'Can' indicates ability or capability. It denotes the capacity to do something or the permission to do so. 'Could' is the past tense of 'can' and is often used to express past ability or to make polite requests or suggestions. Despite their differences, these modals share commonalities: They all express various degrees of possibility, capability, or permission, allowing for nuanced communication. They can all be used to indicate uncertainty or hypothetical situations. Now, let's explore the distinctions between 'may,' 'might,' 'can,' and 'could': 'May' and 'might' differ in terms of the level of certainty they convey, with 'may' suggesting a higher likelihood than 'might.' 'Can' and 'could' differ in their temporal usage, with 'could' being the past tense of 'can' and often used for polite requests or suggestions. Now, let's delve into the motivational aspects of these modals: 'May' and 'might' can inspire a sense of possibility or hope, encouraging individuals to consider potential outcomes or opportunities raised by the speaker's internal motivation. For example, "You may succeed if you work hard." 'Can' and 'could' emphasize capability and empowerment, motivating individuals to take action and pursue their goals. For instance, "You can achieve anything you set your mind to." Let's illustrate their usage with a few examples: "You may win the competition if you practice regularly." (expressing possibility). "She might be late because of traffic." (expressing a lower likelihood). "I can speak three languages fluently." (expressing ability). "Could you please pass me the salt?" (making a polite request). As we conclude our exploration of 'may,' 'might,' 'can,' and 'could,' we've unraveled the layers of possibility, capability, and permission embedded within these modals. So, the next time you find yourself contemplating the realm of possibility or asserting your capabilities, remember the nuanced distinctions and motivational aspects that shape their usage. By that, I conclude today's episode on May, Might, Can and Could. If you liked this episode, please rate it 5 stars, foward to friends and hit the bell button for further notifications.

Hello and welcome to the Best English Podcast by Teacher Bruno Gon. Today, we embark on a journey through four fundamental verbs: 'talk,' 'speak,' 'say,' and 'tell.' Join us as we dissect their definitions, illuminate their uses, and uncover the unique hues that paint each expression in the canvas of communication. Let's begin by defining our quartet of verbs: 'Talk' and 'speak' are often used interchangeably, both referring to the act of communicating verbally. However, 'talk' tends to connote informal conversation, while 'speak' can imply a more formal or deliberate manner of communication. 'Say' is a versatile verb used to convey the act of expressing something verbally. It's often followed by direct speech or a reported statement. 'Tell' involves communicating information to someone else, often in a narrative or directive form. It typically involves addressing a specific listener.

How are these verbs commonly employed in everyday language?. 'Talk' is frequently used to describe casual conversations or exchanges between people. For example, "Let's talk about our plans for the weekend.". 'Speak' can denote a more formal or intentional act of communication, such as giving a speech or addressing a group. For instance, "She will speak at the conference tomorrow.". 'Say' is utilized to report speech or convey a direct statement. For example, "She said she would arrive by noon.". 'Tell' is often used when conveying information or giving instructions to someone. For instance, "Can you tell me how to get to the nearest post office?".

Let's delve into the distinctions between 'talk,' 'speak,' 'say,' and 'tell.'. While 'talk' and 'speak' both involve verbal communication, 'speak' tends to imply a more deliberate or formal manner of expression. 'Say' is more focused on the act of expressing something verbally, while 'tell' involves conveying information or instructions to someone. Despite their differences, there are common threads that bind these verbs together. They are all integral components of verbal communication, facilitating the exchange of ideas, information, and emotions. Each verb involves the articulation of language, whether in conversation, speech, or direct statements. Let's illustrate their usage with a few examples. In a social setting, you might say, "Let's talk about our favorite movies," suggesting an informal conversation. If you're addressing a group, you could say, "I will speak at the meeting tomorrow," indicating a formal or planned speech. When reporting a statement, you might say, "She said she was feeling tired," using 'say' to convey reported speech. If you're giving directions, you could say, "Can you tell me how to get to the nearest subway station?" using 'tell' to request specific information. As we conclude our exploration of 'talk,' 'speak,' 'say,' and 'tell,' we've navigated through the rich tapestry of verbal expression. So, the next time you engage in conversation or share information, remember the nuanced shades that distinguish each verb in the symphony of speech. By that I concluded today's episode on Talk, Speak, Say and Tell. If you liked this episode, please rate it 5 stars, foward to friends and hit the buzzer for further notifications.

Do you know when you look, see or watch?. Hello, and welcome to the Best English Podcast by Teacher Bruno Gon. Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of observation as we explore the subtle differences between three common verbs: "look," "see," and "watch." Join us as we dissect their meanings, examine their uses, and unravel the nuances that distinguish these everyday expressions. Let's start by defining each term. "Look," "see," and "watch" are all verbs associated with visual perception, but they carry distinct meanings. "Look" refers to directing your gaze towards something with intention. "See" is the act of perceiving visual information, often involuntarily or without specific focus.

"Watch" involves observing something deliberately, often over a period of time, with the intent to pay attention to the ongoing action or changes. Now, let's explore how these verbs are commonly used. "Look" is often used when we want to draw attention to our visual focus or when we're actively searching for something. For example, "Look at that beautiful sunset!". "See" is more passive and can describe the simple act of perceiving without deliberate effort. "I can see the mountains from my window.". "Watch" implies a more extended or intentional observation of an action or event. "Let's watch the movie together.". To better understand their uses, let's look at some examples. If you're in a museum, you might say, "I'm going to look at the paintings," indicating an intentional act of focusing on the artwork. On the other hand, if you're at the zoo and suddenly spot a rare animal, you might exclaim, "Wow, did you see that?!" expressing the spontaneous nature of perceiving something unexpected. If you're sitting by the beach, enjoying the waves for an extended period, you could say, "I love watching the ocean," highlighting the deliberate and prolonged nature of your observation. Now, let's highlight the key differences between "look," "see," and "watch.". "Look" involves an intentional act of directing your gaze. "See" is more passive, often describing the simple act of perceiving without deliberate effort. "Watch" suggests a more extended and deliberate observation of an action or event. As we wrap up our exploration of "Look," "See," and "Watch," we've peeled back the layers of these seemingly interchangeable verbs to reveal their unique nuances. So, the next time you find yourself gazing at something, perceiving a sight, or observing an ongoing action, you'll be armed with a clearer understanding of the subtle differences between these everyday expressions. By that, I conclude today's episode on the difference between See, Watch and Look. If you liked this episode, please rate it 5 stars, foward to friends, hit the buzzer for further notifications.
