If you're following up the tips, according to video, you shouldn't learn individual words, instead understand the sentences, in other words, understand the context. Also do not study grammar, people misunderstand that, and think we shouldn't study grammar, of course we're talking about the English course or studying focus on the conversation skill. I also recommend you don't be afraid to speak, no fear about your mistakes, they are welcome and corrections will provide a great level of knowledge. All the videos are really interesting. The recipe is so simple...just listen, listen and listen. Explore all the internet websites and blogs, YouTube, podcasts, and follow up all the English tips, previously taught on this video.

He married, had four children, and worked for some time as a lawyer. Gandhi worked for about twenty years in South Africa and it was there that he began to attract attention in his struggle for the rights of Indians living there. Gandhi returned to India in 1914 and at the beginning of the 1920s for the first time he faced up to the British government, when he organized a general strike. Gandhi became the main leader of the Indian independence movement. He managed to convince millions of Indians that the best way forward was peaceful protest. He defended peaceful protests such as strikes, marches, fasting, and the boycott of English-made products. Gandhi was arrested several times, but in 1947 finally India achieved its independence. However, Gandhi’s joy was not to last long. On January 30th 1948 he was assassinated by a radical Hindu. The “Great Soul” Throughout his life Gandhi fought racism and social injustice, and did everything he could to try to bring Hindus and Muslims in India together. In Sanskrit, Mahatma means “great soul”.  Gandhi was a spiritual being. He turned his back on material comfort, fasted for long periods, practiced yoga and used to pray a lot. He used to say, “We can defeat the enemy with love, never with hate”. His philosophy of life inspired other famous pacifists, such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. In 1982, Hollywood produced a film about Gandhi’s life, wining nine Oscars.

SportBrazilian Fabiana Murer wins world pole vault title

Source: http://www.maganews.com.br/ I recommend this awesome Brazilian magazine, informative texts available on audio transcript. 

Daegu, Korea - Reigning World indoor champion Fabiana Murer became the newly crowned Queen of pole vaulting when with a clearance of 4.85m she added an even more cherished title to her collection of medals in the Daegu 2011 stadium

    A cat and mouse battle saw her defeat Martina Strutz who raised her German record to 4.80m while Russia's third placed Svetlana Feofanova who has a full set of medals from past Championships, collected another bronze with a season's best 4.75m. Murer on a tense night of action produced an almost faultless performance which stretched her to the limit of equalling the Brazilian and Area record of 4.85m she set when winning the Ibero-American title in June last year. The pressure on that occasion was incomparable to that experienced at global level against a field which included the world's greatest ever vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva who was determined to regain the title she lost in Berlin two years ago when no-heighting. Fabiana was born in Campinas and as a child dreamed of joining the circus.
