Phrase of the week #123 - IN SOMEONE'S SHOES by Daniel Estevam Emrys https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu Emyrs - English one-to-one en-us 2023-03-29 11:44:30 UTC 2026-02-14 19:31:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/292675330/af5ea6ae213838a08adfd1f9512a1a9f/teste_legal_now_yes.png in someone's shoes hotestevam https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2536570272 The other day I saw sad news on TV. A man killed another man who invaded his house. He was protecting his family, because the robber maybe, would kill them all.

I thought it was a terrible situation, but I tried to be in his shoes and I imagine how difficult it would be. Probably any father in that situation would do just the same.]]> 2023-03-29 11:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2536570272 in someone's shoes hotestevam https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2536725432 I like rare meat but it's horrible when I'm in a place that I order that and it comes well done. I feel like not eating that, but I put myself in the chef's shoes and think about the mess that it  would be in the kitchen and I  just  give up complaining.]]> 2023-03-29 13:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2536725432 In someone´s shoes https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2537099562 My classmates are usually nice but there´s a small group that loves mocking everyone, including our teachers. Teachers already have a hard life and this kind of situation makes it even worse. Just the other day, I was really fed up with that and I told them "Try to be in their shoes once in your lives! Would you like to have your students doing that to you?"]]> 2023-03-29 17:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2537099562 In someone's shoes https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2538142759 Sometimes I think how it would be like if I were in some important people's shoes, like presidents and chiefs of nations.
Imagine, how difficult it can be to decide whether to start a war against another country or worst, to decide to push the bottom that sends a missile which will destroy a place and kill people.
I don't know how these people can live, how they can sleep or play with their children...

When I have a problem with someone, my first feeling is revolt and even retaliation. But then I try to be in their shoes, and understand their situation.]]> 2023-03-30 13:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2538386515 In someone's shoes. https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2538830433 I have a friend called Victoria. Unfortunately, she suffers from depression. Her father abandoned her and her aunt keeps on calling her a drug addict. But she is a nice person, and one of my best friends. Some people just can't put themselves in someone's shoes, so they criticize her. And this makes her very depressed. On the other hand I can easily put myself in her shoes, because I also suffer from depression. That's why I do understand and support her as well, and I am sure she will get over it all.]]> 2023-03-30 18:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2538830433 In someone's shoes rafaelberinguy1092 https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2542017166 Rafa: Hey man, you look sad. What's the matter with you ?
Larry: Man, I hate my life!
Rafa: Wow! Talk to me.
Larry: It's my parents, they always restrict me. I can't go out,  I can't play videogames after 10 o'clock. Man my life is terrible.
Rafa: Let me ask you something. Do you have a shelter? Do you have food to eat? Do you have good education?
Larry: Yes man of course, I'm not an animal.
Rafa: So put yourself in a poor person's shoes who doesn't have anything, how would you fell?

Day by day, I learned that everyone has their difficulties in education of their children.
That´s why in someone´s shoes is not easy to feel the moments of challenges in choosing what is best for our children.

Well, most times, because we can't be in their shoes, we just judge others, because they are not us. In fact, it seems we all live in a hypocrite society with no empathy at all. In other words, we want people to be in our shoes but we don't want to be in theirs.]]> 2023-04-03 20:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2542731933 in someone's shoes https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2542783658 People love saying what mothers should or shouldn't do  to their kids , but only if one were on their shoes, they would have the rough ideia of what is right or wrong.]]> 2023-04-03 21:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2542783658 In someone's shoes hotestevam https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2543713024 I always study a lot because I know how important it is to my future but I cannot deny that deep inside my heart, my greatest fear is to fail in my exams and have to study all over again the next year. Last year, for example there was a classmate who failed and was crying, no, sobbing a lot and my only thought was "Well, I woudn't like to be in her shoes".]]> 2023-04-04 13:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2543713024 CREATE YOUR IDEA HERE... hotestevam https://padlet.com/hotestevam/drzcf29iikzpj7pu/wish/2543921178 My best friend had her driving test, but she didn't pass and she said she was going to give up. I then replied “My friend, you’ll try again and succeed, don’t give up”, she laughed and replied “Don't say that, you know it's the fifth time”. and I said “Ok, if I were in your shoes I would just take an Uber and forget about that” And we laughed together.
