Lesson
The film
"KNOCKED UP" was released in the U.S. theatres on June 1st. It is a comedy about Alison (an beautiful and ambitious 24 year-old journalist) and Ben (an irresponsible
slacker) who have a
one night stand that results in Alison getting
knocked up.
KNOCKED UP: If you are "knocked up", you are pregnant. However, if you use the term "knocked up", usually you are implying the pregnancy is unexcepted or perhaps unwelcomed. EX: "She got knocked up when she was on holiday" "I don't want to tell my parents I am knocked up".
(another phrase often used to suggest a woman is pregnant is "She has a bun in the oven". EX: "Carmen has a bun in the oven." )
Other Vocabulary:
SLACKER (n.): a person who avoids responsibility and/or work; a person without ambition.
ONE NIGHT STAND (n.): a sexual encounter that is limited to only one night

السر الثالث : Listen ! Listen ! Listen !
استمع ! استمع ! استمع !
البعض يقول أحيانا : أنا لا أستمع إلى أخبار BBC على الراديو لأنهم يتحدثون بسرعة ولا أستطيع فهم ما يقولون .
عندما تجدهم يتحدثون بسرعة ولا تفهم لكلامهم هذا بالضبط يوضح حاجتك للاستماع إليهم.
كيف تتطور و أنت لا تستمع ولا تتدرب ؟
عندما كنت طفل رضيع هل كنت تفهم لغتك الأم ؟ عندما كان عمرك ثلاثة أسابيع أو شهران أو حتى سنة واحدة هل كنت تفهم كل شيء ؟
بالطبع لا ، لكن لكي تتعلم فهم اللغة يجب أن تستمع إليها .
فكر بهذا ، أنت تعلمت اللغة العربية وذلك بالاستماع إليها 24 ساعة في اليوم وسبعة أيام بالأسبوع بعد هذا كله تعلمت كيف تتحدث ثم تعلمت كيف تقرأ وأخيرا كيف تكتب . * لكن الاستماع جاء أولا

The first time I saw the word 'slacker" was in "back to the future".

That's true :) They use "slacker" in Back to the Future! "You're a slacker, McFly. You'll always be a slacker."
