A festa de aniversário

Un viaggio pieno di sorprese! 

Intro

If you listen to how i talked about and described the movie, you should be able to notice that i did not go into much detail on what the movie was about. This can be a very difficult thing to do in any language, and can also lead to problems with cohesion which will of course lower your band score. This is an example of where you need to learn to talk around topics, and remember that part 2 is still about you.

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.

In this episode, we look at five idioms about meeting new people. Here are the example sentences I use in the podcast:

How did you and Sara meet?
Well, she saw me reading a book she liked, and asked me what I thought of it to strike up a conversation.
It felt a little odd at first, since I had been so focused on the book. Then, she made a joke about how boring we both must be, to read a book like that. It really broke the ice. 
I really wanted to put my best foot forward, so I told her everything I knew about the book and its author. 
Fortunately, she was interested in what I said about the book, and we really hit it off. 
However, when I met her sister, I said the wrong thing and really got off on the wrong foot. She doesn’t like me at all.
