Hi, it’s Tim from domineingles.com.br. As a lot of our Tim and Tammy friends know, we’re just about ready to _________  our twelfth Tim and Tammy Phrasal Verb story. Those who know our project know that we create these special stories with our Tim and Tammy characters that contain lots of Phrasal Verbs. In each story, we ___________  specifically on one letter of the alphabet.

And in our next story, which we will launch next week if everything _________   _______ , our characters are going to visit the North Pole and they’re going to meet Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Now do you know Rudolph? It’s a Christmas _________  ; it’s not a true story, of course; but it’s a very ______-_______   story in the United States, which was written in _________  . So you can imagine how that’s already a part of the American culture.

So our friends are going to visit Rudolph in the North Pole, and you are going to learn a little bit about this story, and also learn the Phrasal Verbs in the story, which is the most important part, of course.

And I’m ____________  here in my hands a classic edition of the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This one was written in 1958, but the ____________  I have is from 1974. (I don’t know if I should tell you this, but this was a year after I was born.)

Well, anyway(s), I was reading this story as we were preparing our Tim and Tammy story, and I saw a Phrasal Verb in here, which I taught you several years ago. (I guess this won’t be a _________  if I tell you that Rudolph had a very shiny nose.) And, initially, in the beginning of the story, he’s not very _________  by the other reindeer. And he couldn’t even _______  in their games.

And it says here: Rudolph couldn’t even play hide-and-seek with the rabbits. His glowing red nose gave him away every time.

Now if you remember, a few years ago, I showed you a Monica comic strip (Monica & Cebolinha comic strip) in English; and I taught you this phrasal verb “give someone away”. (It was a little _____________  at the time; some people didn’t like my tip because they thought I was criticizing, which I wasn’t.) But you’ll notice that this book uses this: “His nose gave him away every time.”

Now go back to that tip that I taught you a few years ago and review this phrasal verb, and see how important it is to know it; ok?

And, one more thing. I’m going to [gonna] scan this book – this is one that I grew up _______  ; I had it ever since I was one year old; so I had it all my life, and my kids read it – and I’m going [gonna] scan it; and I’m going to [gonna] _______  my father _______  it to you; and I’m going to [gonna] teach you the expressions in this story as a special bonus for those who _____________  our story in the first week. OK?

I don’t think you can even buy this ____________  . They have other versions, but this classic version here – it’s hard to find. I saw it on ebay, but it wouldn’t be very cheap. But I’m going to give it as a bonus to those who purchase our story in the first week. So stay _______ ; OK?

So have a great week, and I’ll see you next week. Bye bye.

Now do you know Rudolph? It’s a Christmas legend; it’s not a true story, of course; but it’s a very well-known story in the United States, which was written in 1939. So you can imagine how that’s already a part of the American culture.

And I’m holding here in my hands a classic edition of the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This one was written in 1958, but the printing I have is from 1974. (I don’t know if I should tell you this, but this was a year after I was born.)

(I guess this won’t be a spoiler if I tell you that Rudolph had a very shiny nose.) And, initially, in the beginning of the story, he’s not very liked by the other reindeer.

Now if you remember, a few years ago, I showed you a Monica comic strip (Monica & Cebolinha comic strip) in English; and I taught you this phrasal verb “give someone away”. (It was a little controversial at the time; some people didn’t like my tip because they thought I was criticizing, which I wasn’t.) But you’ll notice that this book uses this: “His nose gave him away every time.”

• Comic strip = “tirinha”
• it was a little controversial at the time = foi um pouco controverso na época
