Day 36/56 - Your First 56 Days Challenge 🇺🇸
Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome to Day 36 of 56! You are officially 64% of the way through the challenge! You did an amazing job this week with storytelling. You definitely stepped outside your comfort zone, learned new ways to express yourself, and challenged yourself to communicate in different ways. I’m so proud of everyone who continues to show up and put in the work! For today’s challenge, we’re going to watch a Steve Jobs video about an invention that literally changed the world. ➡️ https://youtube.com/shorts/yukKoFJr_4w?is=IYUFJN6gzY4PKOEr After watching, answer these three questions: • What problems does Steve Jobs see with the device he is presenting? • How does he plan to solve these problems? • How has this invention changed the way we use technology today? Make sure you watch my video and check the lesson script before you start. Then, use your own words as much as possible to express your thoughts about what you watched. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in class tomorrow! We have a special guest, Tyler, joining us, and I think it’s going to be a really fun lesson. 🏀 Once again, congratulations on everything you’re accomplishing. Keep showing up, keep speaking, and keep pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. See you tomorrow in class!

@Marcia Saiter I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job explaining your thoughts. Instead of saying “one of his concerns was the keyboard was made with plastic,” you could say “one of his concerns was that the keyboard was made from plastic.” We use “that” to connect the first part of the sentence with the information explaining what his concern was. “Made from plastic” also sounds more natural when describing the material something is made of. Instead of saying “we need to watch very carefully,” you could say “we need to be very careful.” “Watch” means to look at or observe something, while “be careful” means to act with caution, which is what you mean in this context. I completely agree with you. I think if we are going to put time limits on children, we should also put some limits on ourselves as adults. Technology and social media can be useful, but I think it is important for us to have a healthy balance too. I really enjoyed your video and the message behind it.

@Larissa Maria Prado Coelho You did a great job sharing your thoughts. Instead of saying “it would be a tremendous cost to that,” you would say “it would be a tremendous cost for that.” We use “cost for” when we are talking about the amount of money or resources needed for something. Also, you pronounced “Nokia” correctly. I feel a little nervous about Neuralink as well. I like the idea of it, but it is a little crazy to think about. It actually makes me understand how some people probably felt when cell phones first came out and when the Internet became part of everyday life. New technology can be exciting, but I can also understand why some people might feel nervous about it. I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this topic.

Day 33/56 Your First 56 Days Challenge 🇺🇸
Day 33 is here! Welcome to another storytelling challenge! Today, we’re watching “The Hardworking Mother.” Make sure to check out the script and watch the video carefully. And remember: don’t overthink it! Just watch the story and retell it in your own words. You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/drCMd7Jr2Sg?is=DClPXVYwH7Hfki0e You don’t have to remember every detail or use perfect English. Just tell the story the best way you can. I’m absolutely loving seeing your progress and watching you step outside your comfort zone with these activities. That’s exactly how we learn to speak English: we practice, we make mistakes, and we keep going! Let’s do this! 🗣️⛓️💥 🇺🇸

@Larissa Maria Prado Coelho I really enjoyed this video that we watched today. You did a great job sharing your thoughts about it. Instead of saying “today, we saw a video,” you would say “today, we watched a video.” “Watched” is more natural when you intentionally spend time viewing a video. “Saw” can sound more like you happened to see the video, such as when you were scrolling through social media and came across it. I also agree that kids sometimes set a really good example for adults. I think there is a lot that adults can learn from children, especially when it comes to kindness and helping others.

@Luciano Paes You did a great job sharing your thoughts and connecting them to your own life. Instead of saying “hard work mother,” you would say “hard working mother.” “Hard working” is an adjective that describes a person, while “hard work” is a noun that describes the effort someone puts into something. Instead of saying “when the others took a look at what she was doing,” you could say “when they realized what she was doing” or “when they noticed what she was doing.” These expressions sound more natural when you mean that someone became aware of what another person was doing. I think it’s great that you set a good example in your house. I think it’s important for men to lead by example so their kids can learn from them and grow up to be good people. I’m also so glad that you’re enjoying the classes. I’m enjoying them too, and I’m really looking forward to our next live session.

Day 31/56 Your First 56 Days Challenge 🇺🇸
Today’s challenge is a little different: I want you to tell me a joke! This will also help you get ready for tomorrow’s live class with me, where we’re going to use jokes in English to work on vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency in a fun way. The joke I shared in today’s challenge was: Why was the picture sent to jail? Because it was framed. 😂😂😂😂 The joke is funny because “frame” has two meanings. A frame is what you put around a picture, but to frame someone also means to falsely make someone look guilty of a crime. So… the picture was literally framed AND supposedly framed for a crime. 😅 For your challenge, you have a few options: 🎥 Record a video telling the joke and explaining why it’s funny. OR Record a video telling the joke and explain the joke in writing. Make sure you check the script attached to this post for some ideas of what you can say. I also included some recommendations for places where you can find more jokes in English, including Google, YouTube, and even AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. You can use the prompt from the challenge to find jokes that are short and easy to understand. And remember: don’t worry about finding the “perfect” joke. The goal is to practice your English, have fun, and challenge yourself to explain something in English. I can’t wait to see all your jokes! And I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow for our live session!

@Raphael Vasconcelos I really enjoyed your video. I liked your joke too. It was very funny! Instead of saying “why does Lula doesn’t have this finger,” you would say “why does Lula not have this finger?” When we use “does” to form a question, the main verb stays in its base form, so we use “have” instead of “doesn’t have.” You could also say “I only have dirty jokes on my mind.” However, what you said is correct as well. “On my mind” is a natural expression when you are talking about something that you keep thinking about. I really enjoyed your video and your sense of humor. The joke definitely made me laugh!

@Marcia Saiter I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job, and congratulations on making it to day 31! Instead of saying “today’s day 31st,” you would just say “today is day 31.” We use the cardinal number “31” when we are talking about the number of the day in a series. “31st” is an ordinal number, which we would use when talking about something like “the 31st day.” Instead of saying “I got this at the Internet,” you would say “I got this from the Internet.” We use “from” when we are talking about where we got information or something from. For example, “I got this information from the Internet.” I’m not good at knowing jokes either. I always have to look up my jokes too. I think I’m funnier when there’s a conversation going on, but I might be the only one who thinks I’m funny. kkkkk

Day 29/56 - Your First 56 Days Challenge 🇺🇸
Good morning, everyone! Today is Day 29 of our 56-Day Challenge, and we’re going to do something a little different! We’re going to start working with real-life situations a little more. So make sure you check the lesson script attached to this post before you record your video. Today’s situation: You had a terrible experience at a restaurant, and you want to complain about it. Here’s what happened: You waited a long time to be served. When you finally ordered, your entrée arrived before your appetizers. 😳 And when your steak finally arrived, it was undercooked. Instead of asking them to replace the steak, you decided that you had completely lost your appetite. So, you asked them to remove the steak from your bill and decided to leave. Your job is to explain what happened and complain about the experience naturally, just like you would in real life. Watch my video for a reference and then record your own version. 🎥 Good luck! I’m SO excited to see you taking this next step in our challenge. You’ve got this!

@Paula Coutinho I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job explaining what was wrong with your order, and I have to say, your complaining was very sweet. You are probably the nicest complainer I’ve ever heard. Instead of saying “and for last,” you would say “the last thing.” Since you are explaining the problems with your order and are talking about the final problem, “the last thing” is the natural expression to use. Also, when you say “entrée,” it is pronounced “AHN-tray.” It is a French word that we use in English to mean the main dish or main course of a meal. The stress is on the second part of the word. I think you did a great job explaining everything. Even when you were complaining about your food, you were so polite and sweet.

@Luciano Paes I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job sharing your experience. Instead of saying “when your parents was here in February,” you would say “when my parents were here in February.” We use “were” because “parents” is plural. We use “was” with a singular subject, such as “my parent was here.” Instead of saying “it took too much to arrive,” you would say “it took a long time to arrive.” We use “a long time” when we are talking about something taking longer than expected. “Too much” is usually used with things that can be measured or quantities, so it doesn’t sound natural when talking about how long something took. I really admire that even though you had a bad experience with the food, you were still able to find something positive in the situation. I think that is a very good quality to have in life. Thank you for sharing your story. I really enjoyed your video!
