For example, in the sentence, "I am giving this gift to you for your friend!", do you know why I use both "for" and "to"? This is one of many examples I give to you in this episode!

A leitura de hoje nos faz pensar sobre a sociedade de consumo a qual fazemos parte e somos atravessados, um texto do século passado que ainda hoje ressoa forte em nosso cotidiano. Na crônica Eu sei, mas não devia escrita pela autora Marina Colasanti para o Jornal do Brasil em 1972 nos faz lembrar de como deixamos nossas vidas serem pouco a pouco enquadradas dentro de rotinas e repetições que nos distanciam da beleza do agora. Ler as palavras de Marina é vislumbrar o capitalismo como um comedor de tempo, de mente, de corpos, de mundos. Espero que goste de ouvir tanto quanto gostei de ler. 

Ah! Ao final preparei um vocabulário com algumas palavras e expressões que surgiram na crônica. 

Tenha uma boa escuta!
