Just Talking English

Good morning! Everyone! How are you doing today! I was thinking about this program, Just Talking English News, and honestly, I'm going to change it a little bit, because it's boring, I tried to listen to one of my podcasts and I thought, “Oh my Gosh, It's sounds horrible, terrible and boring”. Sorry for that guys, I will do better from now on. Learning a second language needs to be exciting, needs to be motivating and inspiring, not something you do for obligation but for pleasure, right. Before we start today, let me talk in Portuguese with my brazilian students: “Se você que ser realmente fluente em Inglês, aprenda a estudar sozinho. Seja o MESTRE do seu próprio aprendizado. Just Talking Power Course, o mais poderoso curso para aprender e principalmente TREINAR inglês. CURSO COMPLETO R$ 187,00 (e nada mais)”. Now let's get started Our fisrt news today: WHO – People, I don't want to scare you, but according to WHO, World Health Organization, things will get worse before they get better. They are saying that the worst moment of the pandemic is yet to come, in other words, we will see things get worse, before they get better. I'm reading this news on a website called Earth, or "Terra" in Portuguese, and I think it's reliable, I mean, I can trust in this website. Why not? I don't want to be negative about this situation that the world is facing right now, but there is a saying or a phrase that says: “Hope for the better, prepare for the worst” Basically, it means that, you should have a positive attitude, but make sure you are ready for disaster. Hope for the better, prepare for the worst. Next: POLITICS – Bolsonaro, let's talk about him. You know, I voted for Bolsonaro as president. Yeah it's a shame. But now I regret of this decision, of my dicision. In certain way, I feel responsible for Brazil having an idiot as president. He had the chance to do something extraordinary, something significant, meaningful for Brazil, but he missed the opportunity. He's just another corrupt politician. I dont trust in him anymore. Why am I saying that? I am not reading any new now, I'm just speaking my opnion, I'm sharing my opnion about our president, because I'm from Brazil, I'm a brazilian, and our situation here is a little more complicated because bolsonaro denies the pandemic, he used to say that it’s just a little cold and you don’t have to worry, ok but now Brazil has almost 60 thousand deaths and… so what? that's what he says on television ... so what? his behavior is disgusting and without empathy. This is not a news, as I said, this is just my opnion. GAMES – Back to the news, “Games”, Now get ready for this, I'm not saying bullshit, although it seems a lie. In Brazil, women like and play more video games than men, points out a research or reveal a research. The research says that 53% of Brazilian players are represented by women. Actualy there is a false notion that men are the main consumers of electronic games, at least in Brazil. Okay, we are living in a new moment, I confess that I had the same notion about video games, but things are changing and changing fast, quickly. I'm not a hardcord player, I mean, you know, someone who usually plays a lot, but sometimes I play some games like The Witcher, Metro, among others. OPNION - Ok guys, now I need your help. If you have reached this point in the podcast, you can tell me what you think about the change in Just Talking English News, tell me what you think about it. In previous podcasts, I was so serious and I didn't speak freely, I was limited to just reading the news, but now in this one, I'm behaving differently, as you can notice. The important thing is to learn and train English, if you are happy, I am happy. Send an e-mail to me, I wanna read your opnion. Bye for now. [e-mail]
