Let a smile be your umbrella

From July till September some streets in Águeda (a Portuguese town) are decorated with colorful umbrellas. More than 3000 have been hung with wires.

Today it is rainy here and I'd like steets in our town to be decorated in that way!)

There are some phrases in English with word 'umrella'. For example: under the umbrella. 

I liked 'Let a smile be your umbrella'. The origin of this phrase is a song 'Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella ' (1928).

BELIEVE VS. BELIEVE IN

The word 'believe' means 'accept as true; take to be true' 

Examples: We didn't believe his stories from the War. I believe you. I believe they will arrive shortly.


"To belive in" has the meaning 'to have firm faith (especially religious faith), confidence, or trust'

Examples:  I believe in your ability to solve the problem. I don't believe in ghosts. My children still believe in Father Christmas.

If you believe in an idea or policy, you think it is good or right: We believe in freedom of speech.

IDIOMS:
believe (one's) ears is to trust what one has heard.

believe (one's) eyes is to trust what one has seen.

Can you answer the question now? DO YOU BELIEVE IN ALIENS?
