My Blog

Oh, I haven't been writing anything for a while. Actually, I wasn't in the mood. But now I'm back and I have some things weird enough to share with you, guys!

Have you ever thought about going to USA? I think every English learner have already thought about it. So, what state would you choose to live or spend a few days? Before you choose, I think you better check out some weird laws in some American states before... or you can end up in jail!

Nebraska:

"If a child burps during church, his parent may be arrested."

Illinois:

"You must contact the police before entering the city in an automobile."

New Jersey:

"It is against the law to “frown” at a police officer."

"You may not slurp your soup."

California:

"Bathhouses are against the law."

Alabama:

"Dominoes may not be played on Sunday."

"Masks may not be worn in public."

Tennessee:

"Stealing a horse is punishible by hanging."

Texas:

"It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing."

South Dakota:

"It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory."

New York:

"It is against the law to throw a ball at someone’s head for fun."

Now you know that, be careful when you go to the USA! <3

No, not literally!

Actually this is an English expression, a old-fashioned expression.

So, "It's raining cats and dogs" is something that you say when it is raining heavily. Interesting and curious expression, huh? A bit funny too. 

But, well... I can say: Today it's raining cats and dogs in Brazil! I woke up to the sound of thunders. Who needs an alarm clock when you got thunders, right? Now the sky is dark, the weather is cloudy and is kinda cold. And worst of all: I have to study today. I'm not up to date with my studies

In november, I'm going to take some important tests. It's like an "admission test". If I go well and get a good grade, I'll be able to study at good university. I don't know how it works in other countries, but here in Brazil there're great universites and most of them don't need students to pay the monthly fee, because they're financed by the government, and this makes everything even harder. I mean: a looot of people will take these tests. And they're very difficult. So I gotta do my best and study hard! 

Oh, the rain has stopped! I haven't noticed! Well, good. I don't like rainy days. 

Well, that's all 4 today, folks! :)

I hope you like this expression. Ah, from now on, I'll use this kind of letter when I use some new expressions and I'll put their definitions in the end of the post, so you won't need to look them up in the dictionary. 

       Expressions used 2day (today):

• Old-fashioned: a word, expression or something not so used by people nowadays. Ex: a typewriter. Some people not even know what is a typewriter! So, typewriters aren't used anymore because nowadays whe use computer/laptops/notebooks/Ipad/etc; that's why they're old-fashioned.
• Be up to date with...: It means you have done all your tasks/chores, you have done they when you needed to, so you don't have to worry about them and you can relax and do other things. Ex:Anna is up to date with her homework, that's why she can play with her toys all day long.

Well, I won't forget, at least.

Not because I have something special to talk about it (actually I don't have anything in mind :D) but because I think I made a mistake and now my blog will be called "My Blog" (as you can see) 'cause I forgot to change the name! LOL

But it's okay... actually I always wanted to have a blog with this name! (Who am I tryin' to fool? I suck!)

Soooo, as I already written above, I have nothing special to talk about it. Maybe I should go to bed, cause I'm getting sleepy and I have to wake up early tomorrow.

Oh, I almost forgot: if you want to practice/study/talk in English, add me! We can help each other and have fun! 

That's all, folks!

Ps: if you've noticed some mistakes, let me know, okay? I'm really trying to learn, so maybe you can help me!
