This week was extremely busy for me. I had to work on school assignments almost every single day, so I did not have time to watch my favorite YouTube videos. I was happy that I could at least listen to music while I was commuting. The assignments were very hard, but I also had a club presentation to prepare for, and practicing for that at the same time made everything even tougher. Still, I think my presentation went pretty well. I made a few mistakes, but I felt good because my friends and I worked together and supported each other. I think the assignments will become even busier from now on, and I also want to spend time and energy on my club activities. Trying to do both is really challenging. I never knew college life would be this busy, but I will keep doing my best and try to stay positive. 😭 Everyone, take care of yourselves!

Recently, I watch the Korean dramas again. I don't have a lot of time to watch them, but I try to watch a little every day. I'm not very good at watching long series like dramas or anime, because I always want to know the ending quickly. Even so, a friend recently recommended the popular Japanese anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" to me, so I am thinking about watching it. When COVID-19 started, I began watching Korean dramas at home, and that is when I started to really like them. I mostly watch romance dramas, and they always make my heart flutter. To be honest, I like Korean romance dramas more than Japanese romance dramas. These days, when I feel tired or want to take a break, I watch Korean dramas in my free time. It helps me relax and gives me a nice moment to rest. I also have some actors I like, so watching the drama is really fun for me.

It has nothing to do with reading, libraries or studying. Listen to learn all about the meaning and usage of the helpful phrase IN THE BOOKS. (thanks to Hermann at Pixabay for the image)

Do these two sentences have the same meaning? You are oblivious to everything. You are unaware of anything.

If you're learning portuguese just like me, check out Globoplay! I mainly watch futebol via premiere thats available on Globoplay (VAl CORITHIANS!) but I also watch travel and nature stuff. Globoplay is available in the U.S. I highly recommend the brasil radio as well, it has different radio stations that are live from brasil 24/7. Netflix is also good but their library is limited but they make up for it by having many of their shows dubbed with many languages, portuguese included. The more paths for immersion, the better. Lets all triumph B^)

Being able to talk on a wide variety of topics is really helpful for getting a higher mark on the IELTS test. In this podcast I will help you to form opinions and ideas for Speaking Part 3 and Writing Part 2. You can also book a private lesson with me on my profile. Hope to see you in a lesson soon!

This week, I ended up getting sick. It seems to be the cold that’s been going around recently. Since I don’t usually catch colds, I thought I would be fine, but I let my guard down and ended up with a pretty high fever. It had been a long time since I’d had a cold this bad, so it was really tough. Even going to the hospital felt like a challenge, and waiting for the test results felt incredibly long. It made me realize how lucky I am to be healthy on a daily basis. I’m feeling much better now, but I still have a bit of a cough, so I hope I can fully recover soon and hang out with my friends again. It’s been getting colder lately, so please take care of yourselves. I’ll make sure to wash my hands and gargle well so I don’t catch another cold. Thank you for reading.
