Think outside the box

The expression "Think outside the box", in English, means that you have to think differently and be creative to be noticed.

I thought of this expresion today when I saw this article. It is about people who decided to make their resumes (also called curriculum vitae) a bit more interesting than the usual ones.

I know some of you are already thinking of looking for a job, so maybe this will inspire you!

You Have Your Life to Smile About

It's funny to ask you what you have to smile about, because you always have something that's making you happy. You are a naturally smiley person, and you are happy with your life. You feel like you have to be. You see happiness as something under your control. You don't think there are any big secrets to being happy. If something isn't going well, you fix it. You're proactive in making sure that you're living the best life possible.

Happy, by Leona Lewis

Some of my students of 3rd of ESO are great fans of Leona Lewis, so I'm dedicating this song to them!



Notice how Leona uses a lot of contractions for common expressions in English, for example:

'cause =Because
gotta= have got to
wanna= want to
tryna= trying to
outta = out of

(This is because prepositions and connectors in English sometimes are pronounced with a weak sound, a sort of weak "a").


Some other linguistic notes:

safe as could be = as safe as possible
