Duas maneiras de saber O erudito não concordou: quem quer a verdade, Tem que conhecer também os detalhes.

Um erudito perguntou a um sábio Como as partes de unem num todo? E como o saber sobre as muitas partes Se diferencia do saber sobre o todo?

Mas o sábio contestou. Sabe-se muito apenas sobre a verdade que nos foi legada. A verdade que leva adiante É nova, E ousada.

O sábio respondeu: O disperso se agrega num todo Quando encontra seu centro E passa a atuar

Pois ela contém o seu fim Assim, como uma semente a árvore. Portanto, aquele que ainda hesita em agir, Porque quer saber mais Do que lhe permite o próximo passo, Não aproveita o que faz. Ela toma a moeda Pela mercadoria, E transforma em lenha As árvores.

Pois só tendo um centro, o muito torna-se Essencial e eficiente, E o todo então se nos revela como algo simples, Quase como pouco, Como força serena que segue adiante, Uma força que tem peso E esta contígua àquilo que sustenta. Assim para conhecer Ou transmitir o todo, Não preciso Saber Dizer, Ter, Fazer, Tudo em detalhe.

O erudito acha Que essa pode ser apenas uma parte da resposta E pede-lhe Um pouco mais. Mas o sábio se recusa, Pois o todo é, no princípio, como um barril de mosto: Doce e turvo. E precisa fermentar durante um tempo suficiente Para ficar claro. Então, aquele que o bebe, em vez de degustá-lo Passa a cambalear embriagado.

Quem quer entrar na cidade Passa por uma única porta. Quem dá uma badalada num sino Faz retinir, com esse único som, muitos outros. E quem colhe a maça madura Não precisa averiguar a sua origem. Ele a segura na mão E a come.

Bert Hellinger

Pessoas diferentes aprendem e se comunicam de forma totalmente diferente. Quando entramos em contato com nossa forma natural de comunicação aprendemos melhor. O que isso significa? Trabalho com um modelo de comunicação que nos ajuda entender com maior clareza como aprendemos e nos comunicamos melhor. Todos nós possuímos os canais de comunicação: Auditivo, Visual e Cinestésico. De certa forma nossa comunicação se organiza através destes canais. Acontece que esta organização é diferente de pessoa para pessoa.

New to America Nancy was new to America. She came to America speaking only her native language. She brought her 8-yearold son with her. He was all she had in the world. They found an apartment in Arcadia. They were there for only two months when a neighbor's dog jumped over the fence. The dog ran toward Nancy's son. Nancy put her body in between the dog and her son. The dog stopped when it saw Nancy screaming at it. She was going to punch it in the nose. The dog turned around. Shaking, Nancy took her son upstairs. They stayed in the apartment all weekend. Then Nancy found another apartment, close to the school that her son was going to attend. She and her son walked everywhere. One day her son started coughing badly. He had an asthma attack. All the walking was making his asthma worse. Nancy knew that she had to buy a car. So she called up the Honda dealer. She talked to a salesman who spoke her language. She told him that she wanted to buy a new car if he could come over to pick her up. The salesman said he would be right over. http://www.eslfast.com

Circle the comparatives and underline the superlatives SAILOR: She reminds me of my girlfriend, but this woman has curlier hair. Let me look closer with my glasses. Hmmmm! This woman is definitely as pretty as my girlfriend! Just a minute! She is MY girlfriend, not YOUR girlfriend! You're the meanest scumbag I have ever met. Get a girlfriend of your own! SOLDIER: Are you sure she's your girlfriend? Is her hair as dark as your girlfriend's? SAILOR: Well, no, but she must have dyed it. It's usually much blonder than that. I have always preferred blondes. SOLDIER: Well, there you are, then. She can't be your girlfriend - her hair's the wrong colour. SAILOR: Maybe you're right, but she does look just like my Meg. Sorry, mate. Didn't mean to turn on you like that. I'm not usually as touchy as that. Look, here's a photo of Meg. SOLDIER: Yes, she does resemble my Margaret a bit, but her hair is much lighter and she also looks chubbier in the face. (Thinks: You must be more stupid than you look!) SAILOR: Yes. You're right. Well then, bye mate. Nice to have met you. SOLDIER: Bye, mate. (Thinks: You must be the most gullible man I have ever met!)
