Book 10 - Lesson 2 - Listerning 1

Olá pessoal,

como estão as aulas?
nada mal heim?

então lá vai nosso primeiro listerning:

the english lenguage - unknown (?)

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have troubles with english language?
Let's face it: english is a wierd language.
There is no egg in the eggplant, no ham in the hemburger, and neither pine or apple on the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in england, french fries were not invented in france. We sometimes take english for granted but if we examined its paradoxes we will find that quicksand takes you down slowly, boxing rings are square and guineapig is neither from guinea nor is it a pig.
If a writer writes, how can fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of phonebooth be  be phonebeeth?
If the teacher teach, why didn't the preacher preach?
If vegetariun eats vegetables, what a (?) does a humanitarium eat?
Why do people recites at play and don't play at the recital? Park on driveaways and drive on parkaways?
You have to marvel at the uniqueness of a lenguage or a house can burn up as it burns down, and did you filling in a form by filling it out, and the bell is only heard once it goes?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects criativity of human race which, of course, isn't race at all. That is why when the stars are out they are visible but when the lights are out they are invisible, and why is it that when i end up my watch starts but when a and up this observation it ends.

Espero que ajude e até mais!
