Study Tip
When you don't understand, ask yourself: Why not? Was the problem ..?
a) It was too fast.
b) I thought they said something else.
c) I don't know the words/expressions.
d) I wasn't listening carefully enough.
e) The pronunciation.
Use this technique regularly when you listen and have a tapescript. It helps you to learn more about your own listening abilities. Do the same in class too.

I'm happily married. I got married to Thiago last year. We're renting a small house in the North Zone of Rio. Thiago's 30 and he's a teacher too. I met him at university and we've been together for about eight years. It was love at first sight!
He teaches P.E. - Physical Education, at a school near our house. He's very physical and he's always doing a lot of different sports. He loves running and enjoys doing Tai Chi in the mornings. I'm not into Tai Chi but we sometimes run together at weekends.
He's trying to learn English at the moment but he isn't making much progress. I'm teaching him some words but he doesn't like learning with me. He says I'm bossy! We don't have any children but we're planning to have some. I don't know when because our lives are so busy.

Thiago got married to Fernanda a year ago. He's a teacher but he doesn't teach English. He teaches Physical Education. He works at a secondary school in Rio where he lives in a small house with his wife. He likes (or does) all kinds of sports. He loves running and enjoys doing Tai Chi and he sometimes runs with Fernanda at weekends. He studies English once a week and he also practises with his wife sometimes. But he doesn't like studying with her because he thinks she's bossy! He wants (plans) to have children but he doesn't know when because their lives are so busy.

Professional tip
Notice how the S ending seems to jump into the next word. So, 'house in' becomes /hau/ /sin/. Point this out to students. It can help them to understand better.
2B.14
The Present Simple is used for facts.
The Present Continuous is used for activities in progress/happening right now (You're reading this text) or larger unfinished actions also in progress but not at the specific second we speak (I'm learning to drive). It's main uses are:
1) to describe what's happening around you, especially on mobile phones: I'm driving down London Road .
2) to talk about future arrangements: I'm staying in tonight.
The + form of the Present Continuous is exactly the same in Portuguese.
Subject (He) + Present Tense of 'be' (is) + the -ing form of the verb (studying)
For ? and - forms remember the word order:
Is(n't) he studying? Yes, he is. / No, he isn't studying. (or "No, he isn't")
2B.15
1. I don't like this.
2. Do you know this?
3. I don't understand.
Don't use the Present Continuous with stative verbs: e.g. like, know, understand, love, hate.

Of course you can always say Don't to make the opposites too, e.g. Don't ask the question, Don't stand up, etc. The forms of the imperative in English are very easy compared to Portuguese.

Professional Tip
It's a good idea to mark "the" with a line between the words to help students, like this;
The_address The_American Embassy The_End The_hour
The_office The_old man The_umbrella
Some words which begin with a vowel do not begin with a vowel sound, e.g. here
/j/ /w/
European one
uniform
university
