ROAR - Katy Perry



Roar - Katy Perry
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar
 
Rugir - Katy Perry
Eu mordia minha língua e prendia minha respiração
Tinha medo de virar o barco e fazer uma bagunça
Então eu sentava quieta, concordava educadamente
Acho que esqueci que eu tinha uma escolha
Deixei você me empurrar até o limite
Não me levantava para nada, então eu caía por tudo

Você me derrubou, mas me levantei
Já tirando a poeira
Você ouve minha voz, você ouve aquele barulho
Como um raio, vou fazer o seu chão tremer
Você me derrubou, mas me levantei
Prepare-se, porque já cansei
Eu vejo tudo, eu vejo agora

Eu tenho o olho do tigre, de uma lutadora dançando no fogo
Porque sou uma campeã e você vai me ouvir rugir
Mais alto, mais alto do que um leão
Porque sou uma campeã e você vai me ouvir rugir
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Você vai me ouvir rugir

Agora flutuo como uma borboleta
Pico como uma abelha, ganhei minhas medalhas
Comecei do zero, para me tornar minha própria heroína

Você me derrubou, mas me levantei
Já tirando a poeira
Você ouve minha voz, você ouve aquele barulho
Como um raio, vou fazer o seu chão tremer
Você me derrubou, mas me levantei
Prepare-se, porque já cansei
Eu vejo tudo, eu vejo agora

Eu tenho o olho do tigre, de uma lutadora dançando no fogo
Porque sou uma campeã e você vai me ouvir rugir
Mais alto, mais alto do que um leão
Porque sou uma campeã e você vai me ouvir rugir
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Você vai me ouvir rugir
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Você vai me ouvir rugir

Rugir oh, rugir oh, rugir oh

Eu tenho o olho do tigre, de uma lutadora dançando no fogo
Porque sou uma campeã e você vai me ouvir rugir
Mais alto, mais alto do que um leão
Porque sou uma campeã e você vai me ouvir rugir
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Você vai me ouvir rugir
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Você vai me ouvir rugir

COMPARATIVE OF EQUALITY

 

Comparative of equality        

                          
Cezar is as funny as Raul. (Cezar é tão engraçado quanto Raul.)
Carla is as interesting as Naiara. (Carla é tão interessante quanto Naiara.)
The dog is as big as the lion. (O cachorro é tão grande quanto o leão.)
Nas frases anteriores pudemos observar o grau comparativo de igualdade, que se dá quando colocamos dois seres no mesmo nível, igualando-os. Esta comparação pode ser utilizada para estabelecer uma relação entre dois seres ou situações. Para formar frases assim, é bastante simples! Vamos observar a seguir:
  • AS (TÃO) + ADJETIVO ou ADVÉRBIO + AS (QUANTO): nas frases afirmativas

Apple is as healthy as orange. (A maçã é tão saudável quanto a laranja.)
My brother is as strong as you. (Meu irmão é tão forte quanto você.)
My mother is as young as my teacher. (Minha mãe é tão nova quanto a minha professora.)
  • NOT AS/SO (NÃO TÃO) + ADJETIVO ou ADVÉRBIO + AS (QUANTO): nas frases negativas
 
Larissa is not so intelligent as her sister. (Larissa não é tão inteligente quanto sua irmã.)
My brother is not so strong as me. (Meu irmão não é tão forte quanto eu.)
We are not as funny as her friends. (Nós não somos tão engraçados quanto os amigos dela.)

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES


Comparative Adjectives
 
When we talk about two things, we can "compare" them. We can see if they are the same or different. Perhaps they are the same in some ways and different in other ways. We can use comparative adjectives to describe the diferences.
In the example below, "bigger" is the comparative form of the adjective "big":
 
New York is bigger than Rio.
 
Formation of Comparative Adjectives
There are two ways to make or form a comparative adjective:
 
short adjectives: add "-er"
long adjectives: use "more"
 
Short adjectives
  • 1-syllable adjectives
old, fast
  • 2-syllable adjectives ending in -y
happy, easy
Normal rule: add "-er"old → older
Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -rlate → later
Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonantbig → bigger
Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to ihappy → happier
Long adjectives
  • 2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y
modern, pleasant
  • all adjectives of 3 or more syllables
expensive, intellectual
Normal rule: use "more"modern → more modern
expensive → more expensive
 
The following adjectives have irregular forms:
good → better
well (healthy) → better
bad → worse
far → farther/further
 
EXAMPLES:
John is 1m80. He is tall. But Chris is 1m85. He is taller than John.
America is big. But Russia is bigger.
I want to have a more powerful computer.
Is French more difficult than English?

SIMPLE FUTURE X NEAR FUTURE

Simple Future

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

FORM Will

[will + verb]

Examples:

  • You will help him later.
  • Will you help him later?
  • You will not help him later.

"Will" to Express a Voluntary Action-Offer

"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.

Examples:

  • I will send you the information when I get it.
  • I will translate the email, so Mr. Smith can read it.
  • Will you help me move this heavy table?
  • Will you make dinner?
  • I will not do your homework for you.
  • I won't do all the housework myself!
  • A: I'm really hungry.
    B: I'll make some sandwiches.
  • A: I'm so tired. I'm about to fall asleep.
    B: I'll get you some coffee.
  • A: The phone is ringing.
    B: I'll get it.

 

FORM Be Going To

[am/is/are + going to + verb]

Examples:

  • You are going to meet Jane tonight.
  • Are you going to meet Jane tonight?
  • You are not going to meet Jane tonight.

 

"Be going to" to Express a Plan

"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.

Examples:

  • He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.
  • She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.
  • A: When are we going to meet each other tonight?
    B: We are going to meet at 6 PM.
  • I'm going to be an actor when I grow up.
  • Michelle is going to begin medical school next year.
  • They are going to drive all the way to Alaska.
  • Who are you going to invite to the party?
  • A: Who is going to make John's birthday cake?
    B: Sue is going to make John's birthday cake.
