WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE by Bryan Adams When you love someone, You'll do anything. You'll do all the crazy things That you can't explain. You'll shoot the moon, Put out the sun, When you love someone. You'll deny the truth, Believe a lie. There'll be times That you'll believe you can really fly. But your lonely nights Have just begun, When you love someone. When you love someone, You'll feel it deep inside And nothing else Can ever change your mind. When you want someone, When you need someone, When you need someone... When you love someone, You'll sacrifice. You'd give everything you got And you won't think it twice. You'd risk it all, No matter what my come, When you love someone. You'll shoot the moon, Put out the sun, When you love someone. CUANDO AMES A ALGUIEN por Bryan Adams Cuando ames a alguien, Harás cualquier cosa. Harás todas las cosas locas Que no puedes explicar. Dispararás a l

the "'oo" spelling of the words "foot" and "soon" Hi again, and welcome back to Seattle Learning Academy's American English pronunciation podcast. My name is Mandy, and this is our 140th episode. I talked a bit about the other u sound in our last podcast about the word sure. The other u sounds like (other u) and is the vowel sound in the word put. Can you hear it? (Other u), put. The other u is tricky because it doesn't have any vowel spelling of its own. It can obviously be spelled u, as in the word put, but it can also be spelled oo as in the word foot. Can you hear the rhyme between put and foot, put, foot. The more common pronunciation for the oo spelling is the oo sound, as in the word soon. The word shoot (s-h-o-o-t) is also pronounced with the oo sound. Notice that the word shoot does not rhyme with the word foot, shoot, foot. Let's talk a little bit about how these two sounds are different. The oo sound is usually easier

Raise vs. Rise Paulo P Sanchez | September 21, 2011 at 3:27 pm | URL: http://wp.me/pMRGn-1pX When used as a verb they both have the same general meaning of "to move upwards", the main difference is that rise is an intransitive verb (it does not take an object), while raise is a transitive verb (it requires an object): As you can see from these examples, (nobody is pushing up the sun!), whereas (Mary moved her hand upwards/The government make laws to increase taxes). rise (v) Something rises by itself For example:- The sun rises in the east. The chairman always rises to the occasion. I will rise tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. to walk the dog. Rise is an irregular verb: rise / rose / risen raise (v) Something else is needed to raise something. For example:- Lynne raised her hand. The government is going to raise taxes. They can't raise the Titanic. Raise is a regular verb: raise / raised / raised

What are heteronyms? Heteronyms are words that are spelled identically but have different meanings when pronounced differently. For example: Lead, pronounced LEED, means to guide. However, lead, pronounced LED, means a metallic element. Compare heteronyms to homographs, homophones, and homonyms. Homographs are words that are spelled the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or pronunciation. Homophones are words that are pronounced the same but differ in meaning, derivation, or spelling. Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings. There is overlap among these categories. Heteronyms are specific types of homographs in which the different pronunciations are associated with different meanings. Many heteronyms are the result of one pronunciation being a verb and another being a noun. Well, let's see what we have! Our lists of heteronyms are shown below. We are limiting ourselves to words commonly used in the English language.

Near / Close "Cerca de" lleva preposición en español. Pero su equivalente en inglés "near" no la lleva así que no quiero volver a escuchar "near of" ni "near to". ¡Con un poco de práctica eliminaremos este hábito tan poco recomendable!. Hay un quiosco cerca de la estación. There's a newsagent's near the station. ¿Hay un buzón de correos cerca de aquí? Is there a post box near here? Mi tío vive cerca de la catedral. My uncle lives near the cathedral. ¿Hay un banco cerca de este banco? Is there a bank near this bench? ¿Birmingham está cerca de Manchester? Is Birmingham near Manchester? Sin embargo, existe un sinónimo de "near" que sí lleva preposición. Estamos hablando de "close to", un adverbio de uso menos frecuente que "near" en el sentido físico. En cambio se usa más con verbos. Estos van siempre en gerundio (-ing) después de "close to". Estoy buscando un sitio para vivir cerca

he Great Wall of China Walls and wall building have played a very important role in Chinese culture. These people, from the dim mists of prehistory have been wall-conscious; from the Neolithic period – when ramparts of pounded earth were used - to the Communist Revolution, walls were an essential part of any village. Not only towns and villages; the houses and the temples within them were somehow walled, and the houses also had no windows overlooking the street, thus giving the feeling of wandering around a huge maze. The name for “city” in Chinese (ch’eng) means wall, and over these walled cities, villages, houses and temples presides the god of walls and mounts, whose duties were, and still are, to protect and be responsible for the welfare of the inhabitants. Thus a great and extremely laborious task such as constructing a wall, which was supposed to run throughout the country, must not have seemed such an absurdity. However, it is indeed a common mistake to perceive the Great

First Impressions Are Everything You could have the world’s most expensive suit, looks like Brad Pitt and a smile whiter than white, but if you say the wrong things and miss your opportunity to make a good first impression when you first meet somebody in a business situation, then you can say goodbye to all of your hopes of ever achieving anything…. Ok, that’s going a bit far, but the fact remains that “First Impressions Are Everything”, which is so much more important in business situations than in others. So, what things can you do to make sure your first impressions are indeed everything? Here are a few tips to help you out: Stand tall and retain a good posture, which shows confidence. Smile, which shows friendliness and openness. If you have an appointment to meet somebody, NEVER arrive late! I repeat – NEVER! Don’t arrive chewing gum or talking on your mobile/cell phone! Try not to stand too close to the person, as this can be seen as invading “personal space”. Try to s

English Pronunciation for Spanish Speakers The Simple Vowels The following remarks deal with the problems which native speakers of Spanish are likely to experience with the English vowels. The type of English referred to is the General British pronunciation (“GB”) and not the General American variety from which it has a small number of notable differences. 1. The GB vowel / i: / as in seat should give no qualitative problems but it may sometimes be made in forms inappropriately brief and yet occasionally excessively stretched. It is usually, but by no means always, a fairly long vowel so that, given the typically short value of the qualitatively comparable Spanish vowel, it may sound markedly brisk or clipped and possibly uncomfortably like the more regularly short English vowel phoneme / ɪ /, as when eg seat may sound too much like sit. The context in which it is desirable to give / i: / its minimum length is in a syllable which is closed by one or more of the eight “sharp” (aka
