Investec（天达银行）首席经济学家Philip Shaw：料英国央行可能会在2023年2月的下一次会议上，将加息步伐放缓至25个基点，因为预计由于抵押贷款利率上升，英国消费者支出将下降。我们怀疑，消费者支出将在明年继续受到打击，特别是随着固定期限的结束，400万家庭被迫以更高的利率为抵押贷款再融资。我们预计银行利率将上升25个基点至3.75%，然后在3月份升至4.0%

DIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE 🎧📚

Dialogue for Beginners 🎉📚 (Day # 11)

ここで防護スーツをぬいだら、免疫力のない空中帝国の人間は、ひとたまりもありません。
カンパネラは岩場に腰をおろし、地上5000メートルにある空中帝国を見上げました。
そのときでした。
.
「だれだ！」

ふりかえると、『森』の住人たちがならんでいました。
その中心に、赤毛の女が立っていました。
まちがいありません。あのときの女の子です。
「なにものじゃ！」
大男が大きな声をあげました。
.
赤毛の女は一歩まえに出て、いいます。
「森のものではなさそうね。なんの用かしら？」
.
カンパネラは とっさに言葉をかえします。
「キミに、あいにきたんだ」

「なにをいっているんだ」と　『森』の住人たちは にらみつけてきました。　
が、赤毛の女は顔色ひとつ変えません。
「ウソおっしゃい。外からきたものが どうして私をしっているの？」

カンパネラは 大きく息をすって　きもちをととのえ、こたえました。
「むかし、あの岩のうえで笛をふいてたろ？」
赤毛の女は目を丸くしました。

Express to Impress

How to Answer "Can You Tell Me About Yourself?"

Neste episódio darei exemplos e explicações das duas preposições que você mais gosta, rs! Vamos aproveitar para estudar? Recomendo que estude junto com a transcrição! O que é preposição? É uma palavra que serve para ligar dois elementos que se relacionam - o segundo será sempre subordinado ao primeiro. Então os dois elementos são interligados pela preposição. A preposição com relação de finalidade, destino e direção é a PARA. Logo no início do seu aprendizado, uma das primeiras preposições que você se depara é com ela. Geralmente, seguida pelo verbo Ir, um dos verbos mais utilizados na língua portuguesa, principalmente quando queremos usá-lo para nós referirmos ao futuro imediato do indicativo. Ex. Vou ir para o museu. A medida que nosso nível do idioma for aumentando, vamos entendendo melhor a situação das preposições.
