Like expression (LD 1)
**EXPRESSIONS WITH LIKE** (Leadership 1)
The expression “like” can express different meanings: verb, preposition and conjunction.
*When we want to talk about our preferences, we use “like” as a verb:
Eg.1: I like to play soccer.
Eg.2: I like that movie!
*When we want to express similarity, we use “like” as a preposition, but after the verbs look, seem, feel, taste and sound.
Eg.1: Pillar looks like her mother.
Eg.2: It seems like you’re doing the right thing.
*When we want to express comparison, we use “like” as a preposition too.
Eg.1: He talks like a child.
Eg.2: There are many means of transportation in this city like** bus, taxi, train.
** Notice that in this case, the preposition “like” can be substitute by “such as”, and the meaning continues the same.
*When we want to express in the same manner as or as if, we use “like” as a conjunction:
Eg.1: Neither Jane nor Larry draw cartoons like he did.
Eg.2: We sing like those famous singers.
***Pay attention not to confuse letters C and D.
Letter C – After the preposition “like”, we have a noun (or an article (a/an)+ noun).
Eg.1: He talks like a child. (article + noun)
Eg.2: There are many means of transportation in this city like bus, taxi, train. (nouns)
Letter D – After the conjunction “like”, we have a pronoun.
Eg.1: Neither Jane nor Larry draw cartoons like he did. (he = personal pronoun).
Eg.2: We sing like those famous singers. (those = demonstrative pronoun).
If you have more doubts, tell me, ok?!

How to improve your listening skills
Hello, dear students!
I received the following question this week. I put it here because it's an interesting question. Enjoy it!
"How can I improve my listening skills?"
Well, you can put in practice some of the following tips:
* Try, first, to listen to the CD (it can be your own CD) without looking at the audioscripts. Get a sheet of paper and write down some words and/or expressions from the listening. Then, you can listen again to try to understand the story.
* Later, listen to the CD again and try to understand some details, some complete sentences. Of course, if the text is big, you can pause at some parts. It will become easier.
* After doing this, if you still present any difficulties, you can take a look at the audioscript (at the end of the book). When you practice, you will know that this procedure will not be so common, and you'll be independent.
* Another way of improving your listening skills is to listen to some English songs and read the lyrics.
* You can also watch some movies. Start with a movie that you already know, but put the subtitles in English to be easier to identify and associate the words. Later, you remove the subtitles and try other ones.
* Whe you gain more practice you can watch some videos and specific channels such as BBC World and CNN.
I hope you've liked this tip. Now, put it in practice!!! You'll see the results.
Have a nice week.

PHONETICS - Final Review - 6A
PHONETICS - FINAL REVIEW - 6A
Review - Answer
4)
People, take a look at the book to answer this exercise. I tried to put the answer but the blog doesn't accept the symbols' representation.
Step by step:
1st) Transcribe the verb or word;
2nd) Transcribe the weak and strong forms too.
3rd) Identify after which pronouns, symbols, consonants or vowels the weak or strong forms comes.
P.S.1: This exercise will help you to do another one. There is a question on the test that you have to transcribe the whole sentence. There are only 6 sentences. However, all the sentences that will be on the test are also transcribed on your review. So, don't forget to study it! And there will be 2 multiple choice questions about the weak and strong forms of verbs in a sentence.
If you have doubts, send me an email or call me up.
P.S.2: The COMPOSITION TEST is about "High School for gays - Is it prejudice for you?"
See you :)
