Vamos aprender inglês com uma série imperdível da Amazon Prime?

Primeiro tente adivinhar com qual série vamos aprender hoje: 

➤ Duas famílias têm seus destinos entrelaçados, em uma história que envolve conflito de classes, racismo, pressão psicológica e várias percepções diferentes do que é maternidade e “família estruturada”.  

➤ O livro e a série têm o mesmo nome, embora as histórias sejam um pouco diferentes.  

➤ Os personagens são complexos e intrigantes, não estereotipados e mais próximos de como nós somos.  

Está difícil? Pode piorar…  vamos continuar as pistas em inglês! hahaha

➤ It follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. 

➤ The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster. 

➤ Starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington.

E aí, conseguiu adivinhar? 

Agora é hora de checar estas três palavrinhas mais difíceis, que apareceram nas pistas acima: 

to intertwine: to twist or be twisted together, or to be connected so as to be difficult to separate  (entrelaçar-se) 

fate:  a power that some people believe controls what will happen (destino)

to avert: to prevent something bad from happening (evitar)
