  Remember, though: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Go visit your friend, and then come back and study English. 🙂

Yeah… I’m not going to stop hearing your mini-podcasts Tim!
But, if I wanted to say never instead of “going to”?

Note: I don’t know wether I wrote right, but, I hope that you understand me… LOL!

Thanks a lot!

  Yes, you can, Emerson. You can say: “I’ll never stop listening to your mini-podcasts.” It’s great to hear that! 🙂

Tim, peço sua ajuda. Eu trabalho, como se diz aqui no Brasil, em uma incorporadora de empreendimentos imobiliários, ou seja, a empresa compra o terreno, faz o projeto, lança o edifício e vende as unidades autônomas. Ou ela tem um grupo de investidores que fazem tudo isso e depois de pronto alugam as salas (normalmente comerciais). Disseram-me que se diz Real State Company em Inglês. Pode me ajudar a traduzir isso? Por acaso tem esse termo no livro Business English que você escreveu com o Ulisses?

Thank you for your time.

  Olá, José Luiz! Infelizmente não tem nenhum artigo sobre “real estate” nesta edição do “Textos Mastigados – Business English”. Pode ser “Real Estate Company”, mas considere a opção “Real Estate Development Company”. Veja o seguinte artigo sobre isso: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_estate_development

I am not going to stop traveling to stay resting at home.
I’m not going to stop going to visit you at the hospital just so I can go to the gym.

I’m not going to stop working just to relax.

I’m not going to stop eating just so I can to lose weight.

  Unfortunately, I’m going to have to cut back on my eating after my trip to the U.S. I gained 4 kilos there!
