In this episode we start the 'Storyteller' section and you can hear a story that I created while telling my kids at bedtime - to encourage them to sleep. This is a good story and I recorded it with great affection for you. Let's play it and find out 'The Sleep Game'!

This is the first episode of the Be Careful section, in this episode we’ll talk a little bit about stress and how you can beat its effects, either by avoiding it or reducing its effects.

Hello, my name is Heleno Alves from Talking to Improve project and this is just 'the reading exercise' of the day. Today we are going to read a little about the difference between American and British English. It is a short text. You ready? Shall we go? Come on.

There was a time in history when the Americans and the British saw the world very differently. At one point, Americans decided that they wanted a distinctly American form of English, with more sensible spelling conventions and a more practical vocabulary.

Whether or not that has actually happened is still a matter of debate. Either way, this linguistic movement generated an abundance of words which are spelled differently in British and American English, but which nevertheless carry identical meanings.

Some words are written identically, however there is a change in pronunciation, in which case we have an "accent issue". A classic example is the pronunciation of the word "better" or "better".

So, some words just change in spelling and are pronounced the same way. An example is the word "organization" that Americans prefer to write with "s" with a "z" sound and the British use both forms of the word, with "s" or "z". Another examples are: "colour" than "color"; "defence" than "defense"; "centre" than "center". [you need to read the text to notice the difference, I'll send you this text, ok?]

However, the Americans and the British also have some words that differ from each other. Some example are:

"Flat" in British English and "appartament" in American English.

"University" in British and "college" in American.

"Holiday" than "vocation". "Biscuit" than "cookie", "fizzy drink" than "soda", "shop" than "store", "football" than "soccer" and so on.

That's it, it was a brief text, as I said it would be, ok? ;)

Thanks for listening, have a great one.

In this first episode you can get to know about the Talking to Improve Project, listening to our manifesto as follows:

"The Talking to Improve Podcast is a space to encourage communication!

It is believed that through dialogue we can improve ourselves in every way, so we motivate the interaction between everyone!

Feel free to interact as you wish, propose debates, share news, talk about what you feel like, we just hope that the respect that good education offers is maintained!

So, when you join us, introduce yourself, talk a little about yourself so we can get to know you. This is good for you to exercise your communication power and it is also good for others to develop the ability to listen, in addition to getting to know you!

Remember, the participation of each one of us is important for everyone!

Every opportunity exercised helps to consolidate knowledge, expand the culture, allows us to improve! So, use every opportunity for dialogue and talk, talk again, talk a lot, expose your ideas and be open to learn from others!
