Look at the picture – you can see what a straw is. There’s a reason for this expression, but I’m not gonna get into it right now. So, listen again: when Anna told you that she couldn’t meet with you because she had to plan a party, that was the last straw. You had been patient up to that point, but that was just too much! That was the last straw. You went to see your teacher immediately and you told her you wanted a different teammate.
I Sorry to post my history too late! It happen becaouse i was very slumped last month. I worked out side the oficce. I was worked at Nampula province, (North of Mozambique)last month, so i liked it. It has my first time to be threre.
In June, i aquired a slide cell fone, up to weeks the cell fone start to have a probleme. It was dificult to hear someone on fone. I went to the cellshope, they give me new fone. When i started the new cell fone i soo that the camera thus not work! It was my last straw.
Techer, have a good weekend!

Hi there! This was really nice but now you got me curious about the reason for this expression. When are you gonna get into it? Thx!
Thanks, teacher.
i surely have gone through a lot of similar situations with someting or someone, but we can never remember them when we want. hahaha But as long as everybody has something to complain when it comes to buying stuff, i can pick something that just crossed my mind when i first purchased a cell phone by the internet. once it got home, and i first turned its cam on i imediately noticed there was something really wrong with it. it wouldnt work at all. To summarize, the third time i sent it off to the technical assistance and it came back the same way i thought that was the last straw. i couldnt do anything else but buying another one, this time… personaly directly from the store. i couldve demanded my rights, but i was soooo full of it all hahaha
Great lesson !!!!!!!
God bless you !!
I wanna study in the college. If the work people don’t help me I get out of there. That’s the last straw.
por sinal –
Let`s get this started
quer dizer

@magda – é uma estrutura muito usada:
Let’s GET this party STARTED.
It’s getting late… we’d better GET STARTED.
Não sei te dizer o porquê, mas eh assim – comece a reparar em filmes, séries, etc.. vc vai acabar ouvindo.
As usually, awesome. :]
Great class!
Greate !!!!!!
Eu nao entendi a primeira frase, aonde voce diz – Let’s get this episode STARTED. Por que o verbo no passado? Nao poderia ser Staring?
The last time that I feeled this it was when I bought a machine for my wife and in few days don’t work more, I got much nervous and when I called the service, they asked for me use the guarantee of the product, this with less of 7 days, that’s was the last straw.
Congratulations for your podcasts…
You are so great!!! God bless your life more and more!
As usual, I loved this lesson. Great teacher.
