Listening exercise for you to do: How the language of menus matters   (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)

"All work and no play makes Jack/Jill a dull boy/girl"

 Learn English with MOVIES:  "Aladdin" with Will Smith 

 

 

Pronunciation: SCHWA  (BBC Learning English)

 

This guy is relentless, always on the go!!

 "Is he going to play every point like that?"   Well, you have to be like Rafa Nadal if you want to aim at high achievements and become a high flier!! 

What is a high flier? It is not a person who can fly high, but someone who has great expectations in life and works hard for them because he is highly motivated. (Note the use of high as an adjective and as an adverb, do not confuse the adverb with 'highly', which is an intensifier)

All good things must come to an end, but better things...

 , but better things are waiting for us in the future because we must always move forward and because nothing lasts for ever. Anyway, if it lasted, it would be so boring. Life is full of changes and movements, most of which are advances we cannot avoid.
