I m an impulsive buyer.I pick up everything that catches my eyes.I grab all the munchies sitting at eye level shelves.
I am not a health concious kind of guy,so I never check the product break-down label.admit it. All the candies and magazings sitting on the shelves by the cash registers are very tempting.

Your guess is darn right ;I am a big fat glutton

Another night, another delema,

It is way into the night, and I am totally sleepless. Well, loosing sleep is one of the perks of leading a lonely life.man,this side of the grave things gets boring to tears sometimes.
Good thing,I have EslPod always handy,so I can study what it contains through the night. I know ,I am being silly,and it is totally beside the point.
But,it is one of the things I like about this blog. It allows you to express yourself no matter what!
Indeed ,the sky is the limit to what you can gain at EslPod.

Sleep tight folks,

I just listen to English cafe 218 one more time. It was like I am listening to it for the first time. Every time I pick up on something new.it is a known fact that Eslpod materials never get old.

As I was intently listening ,I realized Jeff mentioned something about caption, which reminds me of as a very good point. The point is : the difference between close captions and subtitles.
I don’t know how to put it.
To understand a movie better ,we sometimes need the line of conversation ( dialogs) appears on the screen as the movie goes on. If the writing( dialog) that comes on the screen matches with the original language of the movie,it is called “close Caption.” on the other hand,if the line is a translation of the original language is called subtitle.
For example : If I am watching Star wars in English and the line appearing on the screen is in English is called close caption ,but if the movie is in English and but the on coming writing is in French it is called subtitle.

There is another interesting point.

Sometimes it happens that the mouth movements of actors and actress don’t match with the voice. Typically, the voice comes after, it is called “Voice Delay..”

My friend Bakhtyar,

seems like you got the concept of “let me be quick to add” I am totally zoned out by that . Can you change it into layman terms ,so I can understand. I asked once but I got snubbed .You be a bigger man and Indulge me.

No sarcasm is intended,
no mean to be disrespectful.

Peace out
