Repostagem: Tantas revistas?!/ So many magazines?!


Às vezes temos um monte de revistas que nem queremos jogar fora, nem temos espaço para guardar... uma boa solução é fazer com que elas virem um atraente banquinho!  A idéia do freshome.com é arrematada com uma almofada e duas espécies de cinto para segurar todas as revistas juntas em cima de um suporte de madeira.
Sometimes we have lots of magazines which we neither want to throw away nor have enough space for them... a good solution is to turn them into an eye-catching stool! The idea from freshome.com is finished with a cushion and two kids of belt to hold all the magazines together on top of a wood support.

Repostagem: To clam up


From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/2014/04/140401_todays_phrase_clam_up.shtml

A giant clam

A giant clam on the seabed near Zanzibar

Today's Phrase

To clam up means to become silent because you are nervous, embarrassed or don't want to talk about something.
Examples:
Adam was very naughty and ate all the cookies. When his mother asked where they were he clammed up and couldn't tell her.
When I was young I used to clam up when a stranger asked me a question.

Take note

Another phrase which comes from a shellfish is the world is your oyster. When you say this to someone you mean they have the ability to go and to do whatever they like.
Example:
Now that you have your college degree, the world is your oyster!

Interesting fact

A clam found off the coast of Iceland in 2006 is thought to have been the longest-lived mollusc ever discovered. Scientists, who named it Ming, believe it was over 500 years old when taken from the seabed.

Assista também e veja o que acha!
