Poema da Necessidade

É preciso casar João,
é preciso suportar Antônio,
é preciso odiar Melquíades
é preciso substituir nós todos.

É preciso salvar o país,
é preciso crer em Deus,
é preciso pagar as dívidas,
é preciso comprar um rádio,
é preciso esquecer fulana.

É preciso estudar volapuque,
é preciso estar sempre bêbado,
é preciso ler Baudelaire,
é preciso colher as flores
de que rezam velhos autores.

É preciso viver com os homens
é preciso não assassiná-los,
é preciso ter mãos pálidas
e anunciar O FIM DO MUNDO.

8. Consejos de la abuela (supersticiones) ¿Qué haría mi abuelita? Parte 2

日本に来てから和菓子を食べるのをやめられません。毎日お昼ご飯の後に必ず食べています。和菓子はケーキにくらべてヘルシーと思うかもしれませんが、そんなことはありません。確かに脂肪は洋菓子に比べてかなり少ないですが、砂糖はたくさん使われています。特に5月からは私の好きなわらび餅や水羊羹（みずようかん）などの冷たい和菓子がたくさん出てくるので、誘惑がいっぱいです。
もし、日本に来て、和菓子を食べるなら、和菓子屋さんで買うことをオススメします。和菓子はコンビニでも買うことができますが、すごく甘かったり、生クリームが入っているものが多いです。生クリームを使った和菓子もたまにはいいですが、私はあっさりした和菓子の方が好きです。
ちなみに日本のケーキもすごくおいしいです。日本にはパティシエがたくさんいるので質が高く、外国のケーキに比べて、あっさりしています。

Understanding Concessive Clauses in Spanish and English

In Spanish, the mood (indicative or subjunctive) in concessive clauses depends on whether the action is factual, non-factual, or counterfactual. For example, the conjunction "aunque" (although) can be used with both indicative and subjunctive moods depending on the context.
Example in Spanish:
Indicative: "Vendré aunque no tengo ganas." (I will come even though I don't feel like it.)
Subjunctive: "Vendré aunque no tenga ganas." (I will come even if I don't feel like it.)
In English, concessive clauses typically use the indicative mood. The conjunctions "although," "even though," and "though" are commonly used, and they don't change the mood of the verb.
Example in English:
"Although he doesn't want to, he will come."
"Even though she is tired, she will finish the work."
So, while Spanish requires a choice between indicative and subjunctive based on the nature of the action, English consistently uses the indicative mood in concessive clauses.

Have you wondered what is important in a job interview?


How should you speak to HR people? What skills do you illustrate best?


What if you start speaking of a wrong thing that will ‘demotivate’ an employer from hiring you?


Have you had these thoughts when preparing for a job interview?


Most people forget they have value, they stand for something, and they have a character that (if positioned properly, and I help my private students to do that), if positioned properly, you can communicate ‘in a matching’ manner.


The job interview process is a science; it takes meticulous research into the ‘unobvious traits that need to be brought up', such as pulling out your beliefs and attitudes as a'sales point’ that can potentially be the defining factor in being hired.

In today’s recording, I’ll have you sold on some ideas my CEO students, C-level managers, and vice presidents of companies told me to share with you! J Since I have direct access to these people,.
