Hoje vou citar o famoso escritor americano Mark Twain e mostrar que nem sempre o “won’t (will not)” indica a negativa do futuro.

Frases no mini podcast de hoje:
A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read. ~ Mark Twain

E a melhor maneira de aumentar o seu vocabulário em inglês com leitura:
How about you? Do you read a lot in English?
Thanks a lot for these great mini-podcasts. They are really good and interesting. As you suggested, I do my best trying not to be like people who won’t read.
Thank you so much!I’m loving it!
Oi Tim, Será que pode a contração “won’t” na verdade se refere às palavras, want + not, “won’t” (não quer ler). Em vez da contratação, Will + not (não irá ler). Ou poderia ser até Will + want + not.
Não?
Não. Neste caso, o modal “will” tem este signficado de “vontade” mesmo. Veja o segundo significado deste modal no dicionario: https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/will A contração do “do not want” seria “don’t want”.
Awesome! Coloca o podcast no iTunes.

Great job !
I won’t to stop listening you !
Is this sentence correct ?
Yes, that’s correct, Marcos. When you say it like that, it is almost a promise. Just remember it is “I won’t stop…” (no “to”).
very good. Amazing
THANK YOU. I WON’T READ SO MUCH!
I REALLY NEED TO READ MORE!
Dear Teacher,
