Hello my dear,

I’m going to tell you my secret: When I was young my father loved Beatles. So, I grew up listening their musics and I was curious about what I was singing. In my teenage, I discovered the translation and I fell in love about “Bread, Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John” etc. And obviously I continued loving Beatles. I don’t know how, but everything in English looks like easy for me. The sounds of words, their meanings... ...it was a easy process. In Baixa Grande I had English Classes at school and here in CEFET I had Instrumental English (Skinning, scanning, shape of the text...). At College I needed learn more because of the classes’s matherial and I did it alone and with some friends that had formal courses, like ACBEU. The worst one was my Master Degree, because 90% that texts were in English. This makes me study more and improve my vocabulary. Since three years ago I had learned a lot of English with TV series like Lost, Grey’s Anathomy, House, CSI, Heroes etc. Belive me, it’s a fun process!! I always want learn English in a real school, but first I didn’t have money, after I didn’t have time. So, I will confess that I had prejudice with the NELG’s quality, but I’m very happy to be surprised.
Adriana you are a great teacher, a special one; make me want learn more each day. Your dynamics are very good, perfect to Saturday’s afternoons classes, make us awake. We can see that you love your job and I’ve never had a so good English’s teacher before. You have a special gift: You know make criticisms without hurting people. This is fantastic! I’m afraid about the next semester and my spectations about the new teacher.
The group was very friendly too and because of this I felt home with you. So, I want to say thank you and wish that we can be together next semester.
The blog’s idea was very good but we, students, really need a feedback to continue using the space. Your presence in some posts is important to we know that we be in the right way and that you are reading our texts. It’s good to motivation. Dispite of this, I lived incredable moments with you and I loved the experience. Thanks! That’s all folks!!

On May 22, we had class on the Uses of the Infinitive and gerund, we did an exercise representing people and their hopes and ambitions. It was made a joke called "AROUND THE WORLD," which included naming names of countries that started with the letters of the title sequence of play. Then there was explanation of Quantifiers and Future "Going to" and "Will."

My last class

In my last class we made differents activities. We play a game called "AROUND THE WORLD". It is one logical game and i didn't understand the game at first, but when i understood, i enjoyed very much. My classmates and me organized one party for the last class. I hope who everybody have liked the game!

my classes passed

22/05/10
the class was very helpful I can clarify my doubts about the use of will and going to.
learn to count things like liquid, leaves and fruits
Around the world the game was fun although I can not figure out the logic
I liked the class.

08/05/10
I liked the form of oral assessment on my vacation because it was an easy subject to talk because they have experienced.
my presentation I was able to explore words that were unknown until then was good for me and my colleagues because they heard different words, also served to remove the inhibition present in another language.

24/04/10
presentation of my colleagues was very good experience because it allowed contact with words, pronunciations and different stories was very good, it was possible to listen and ask questions of words in the final correction of the teacher wrong pronunciations.
I liked stimulated thought and pronunciation of words and phrases in the past.

THE LAST CLASSES

The last classes were very interesting.
I was embarrassed because the teacher commented on the comment kiss thiago.
I was a little sad about my race, but I'm trying to study next to a good result.
The presentations colleagues were a lot of interesting.

Some about the classes

10/04
In this class we did our first evaluation. The group that made the presentations was so nervous, as usual in this case. The histories about unforgettables vacation were great and funny. I liked a lot because the teacher made corrections about uses and pronunciation. I think that my presentation was good and I enjoyed other classmates vacations too.

17/04
In that class everybody was ansious about the written evaluation. It was different and unconventional form to put us to think about our English knowledge. I and my partner Jack did two histories about guys having a conversation and a international spy. Unfortunately I had problems until the end and be sick all the weekend. I think that was because a vaccine I took that day.

24/04
I went to the morning class because I had a important meeting in afternoon. The group is different, but the students was very much nervous with oral presentation too. However, I saw many beautiful photos and enjoyed the histories a lot. After, I was worried about the new grammar point: present perfect. I was afraid because I`ve never saw this verb tense and It`s very difficult to understand, mainly because we don`t have this form here in Brasil. During the week I stayed more calm because I studied a lot.

08/05
In the last class, after holyday, we studied more about present perfect and other general things such as “how much/how many”. We did other presentations too, all fun and interesting. I enjoyed and learn a lot. We also talked about the final oral evaluation. It will a explanation about a part of a book. My history looks like good.

My lesson

In my lesson happened several apresentations about the last trip and the last vacation. It was very cool because we could know each other better. Some classmates tell stories very interestings and other show photos very funny. In my apresentation i felt very nervous and had difficult for speak, but i liked this activity because we could show our activities in free time.

THE LAST CLASS

The last class was cool.
And presentations colleagues were very interesting and some creativity.
The Subject that were given noticed that and straightforward.
I was very ashamed when teacher made a play for simplicity the subject.Calling the Thiago that kissed me, our was nervous, BUT HAS BEEN VERY GOOD.

One different class

This class was different because we were in other place (in Pharmacy school) and because we knew other teacher. The her name is Iris. The room was crowd, but the people were very pleasant. We introduce each other, tell about our memories and sang a music of Bob Marley. I enjoying very much!

Unfortunatelly i can't to assist this class because i was sick. But i sent one e-mail for the teacher telling about my problem. My classmates tell me about the lesson, i thought cool.

Last lesson

We had a very relaxed class,because i think learned more discovering the features like the character behave in the cinema and bring this behavior to the classroom this way we can associate the words with a gesture of a scene or a character.

Was very helpful

Last class

In the last class, there was a change of teacher and class, we had class in the building´s of Farmacia. I don´t remember the teacher name´s, but was cool your lesson, She spent one dynamic lesson, where we had to ask our colleagues, what they had done, following the list of questions. She did a small revision of everything.

Fifth class

The class was wonderful pity I was not a great day, but it was very enjoyable and productive.
The dynamics in double inform the text to write was quite complicated talk fast and write fas difficult. I prefered the dynamics of being a charater, can talk and set the names of the characters.The dynamics, are as always very interesting and my bthen take the maximum learning.
Classes always very nice!

URGENTE!

Pessoal.
Adriana enviou um e-mail avisando que provavelmente não poderá ministrar aula dia 27/03.
O pai dela está internado e ela precisa acompanhá-lo.
Ela está buscando alguém que a substitua na aula, mas por enquanto não conseguiu.
Verifiquem o e-mail de vocês a partir das 22hrs para mais informações.

Fifth class

In this class, we participated of “Celebrity’s party”, where very celebrities appeared and if they had known better. We reviewed and pull out some doubt about the simple past tense, the affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences. After, we had an activity in pair to test our memory, speaks, writing and audition. It went too funny and very interesting.

What drives you crazy?

I’m drives crazy some situations, for example when I’m on my period; I’m in a hurry and other people to stay delaying for to go out or to do the things; I’m searching something and I don’t get to find; I’m want to study and my parents or my neighbors are do much noise; I’m sick and I can’t to take ice cream or I can’t to travel or go to the beach. So, with very much things I’m drives crazy, but in the present time the violence in especial against the woman’s and children I’m really crazy.

Fourth Class

In this class number four, we have any activities in group. We reviewed the form verbal present continuos in form of some activities, where we doing some gestures and mimics. Learn some vocabularies or better some verbs about sports and actions of “day the day”. After we talking over “what drives you crazy?”. It was funny and very interesting.

Fifth Class

The last class, received the name of a celebrity and through dialogue, colleagues had to figure out who was who. Then, double, had a dynamic you copy a piece of paper a text that was on the wall outside the room.

Last Class

The last class was grat! We continue making dynamics and I think that it makes all the difference between our and other groups. One more time we pretended to be another person, a famous one, to make a conversation to each other. After, we had a dynamics that I guess it was perfect because involved to read, to speak, to move our bodies and to pay attention in details. It was fantastic because this kind of activity make us waked up in saturday's afternoon. I was so happy because I and my partner won the game, although we commited fools mistakes as to forget commas and little words. In this class the teacher defined the dates to oral and written evaluations. I'm so excited to do this tests, imagining how it will be. I'm learning a lot. All lessons I improve my vocabulary and my limited knowledge in grammar. In the last class I learned new words as burglar, thief and robber.

My class

I really do not know, even when that teacher will "invent" new things to get to class dynamics. Once again I'm here to say that I loved the class, I loved the game with the names, and I'm curious to know what this next Saturday.

Fifth class

In our fifth class, we had an activity in which we acted we are at a party and we were some personality. In my case, I would like Pele. Through this, we know more about certain personalities and simulate a conversation in English. The other activity was to transcribe a double text that was set on the outside of the room, and one read and one write text on paper. My dual activity completed in the shortest time. The dynamic was interesting to practice writing and speaking skills beyond memorization. Finally, there was the reading of the text "The Burglars' Friend".

The teacher marked the date of presentation, will be first test in year and I will be the first to present.
Big hug for all and up next!!!

Fourth class

In this class we played a game on de whiteboard and my team won. The class was very dynamic like always it's, but the best moment was when tha teacher gave us candys.

Drive me crazy

I'm very quiet but little things irritate me. These things disturb me: When anyone smoking near me, when my parents open the window on weekends and when I talking with my sister and she isn't listening me. I think only one thing drive me lot of crazy it's when a person speak low with me, I hate high noise.

Fourth class and "What drives you crazy?"

The class was pretty cool.
The dinamics mimes was very funny,dispute between teams to abtain points was necessary to hit the team that representative was acting.
When it was my turn, our, my God! Was very funny!
The teacher always a comment about mime.( haha)
I'm not very good at mime, but my colleague helped me then eased my team hit and one more point.
The activity three groups was very produtive, because we realize how important is to agile, but the vocabulary is more importanbt, because it was the reason the one victory.

I'm irritates when my sister uses my things and leave my room a messy.
Whenever i'm using the computer it wasalways wants to use is also my fight with me every day, because Iam a long time on the internet.

when I'm reading a book is always one person who puts music to play or talk on the phone in volume that ruckus. I get very annoying.

What drives my crazy.

Among the things that annoy me, I could mention: lack of education, people who smoke in public places and people who throw garbage on the street.

What drive me crazy?

I am a man very relax, but like everybody have some thing that drive us crazy. Example, when my mother open the window that the sun arrive in my room, my soccer time loses, when I have to work extra hours. Many things make me crazy, but with the lack of education of the people I get very angry, smoking in doors, talking loud and things like that.

what drives me crazy...

When I make up early, I drive crazy...
Everyday, I get up early. At six o'clock, I'm standing to go to work,
rach home around nine o'clock at night, after of class. Because of this,
I sleep late.

Worst:
I'm more annoyed when I'm relax in the afternoon (weekends or holidays),
that someone wake up me...
OH MY GOD!!!!!!This is terrible!!!!!!!!!!
And I say: "leave me in peace!"

People, I love sleep. When I have free time, I sleep, sleep, sleep... When I'm
not studing. (of course)
Kisses for you!

what drives me crazy...

Fourth class and "What drives you crazy?"

In our fourth lesson, we had the first correction of the year home. Then there was an activity in which each student chose a paper that contained some information, and to represent this information through mime and the rest of the group would have to guess at answering Present Continuous. Another interesting activity was done with the text "Living in the USA", in which each group answered the same questions on the different characters of the text. Finally, we hear reports of two couples on "You drive me crazy." Once again the dynamics of the class made the difference!

Among the things that bother me I can cite mess, waiting for someone, errors in traffic, cigarette smoke, lack of education, lack of respect and many others.

"What drives me crazy"/ Fourth class

"What drives me crazy"
I don´t like children yelling; music so louder; tpm; sometimes my mother and my brother irritates me; when i took a crowded bus , etc.
"Fourth Class"
Last class was funny, like the others classes we had. There were two dynamics with all the group. In the first we did mimics, it was cool, because i took the expression "fly a kite" and my mimic was terrible, i think, but my group understood "what am i doing".

what drives give you crazy

well,samethings gime crazy for example:when I go to the beache to sunbath and some children or peoples to play in the sand and shake sand in my body,I hate it.when people are smoking in the restaurent,end speak aloud,when somebody to fart in the elevator. ok see you last class teacher.

[Arnaldo] What drives you crazy?

Much things drives me crazy. For example the babies crying, without reason, for a long long long time...
Other thing is when, the person speaks very loud. Or when the person speaks without stop and i cannot speak with it.
Do not have time to do things also drive me crazy. =S

Tiago Arnaldo

[Arnaldo] The Fourth Class

In the last saturday I arrived early in the UFBA. I waited two hours to begin the class!
The last class was very good and cool. There was group activites. In the first activity, we did mimicas to our partners to discover "What i am doing". I did a funny mimica "I am skateboarding"
Now I do not remember of the second activity! hahaha
I am sorry, It was a joke =D. I remember it. We participate of a gymkhana. Unfortunately my group finished in the last position... =(

Tiago Arnaldo

The last class

In the last class I was very tired and had difficulties to pay attention. Although Saturdays have been great time to learn. It is always funny and dynamic. We did a lot of games about subjects as verb tenses. Now we are reviewing simple present and present continuos. Unfortunately for me it’s the first time and I have some difficulties to use correctly expressions as “do, doest, don’t and doesnt”. I hope to learn quickly to follow my classmates and enjoy the lesson better.

Composition: What drives me crazy?

I’m not a patient person, so a lot of things irritates me. The worse actions that drives me crazy are: to make the job of another people, rework, mess, dirt, people speak foolishness while I work or study, slow and bad drivers – there are a lot of them in Salvador’s traffic jam – people that are late in a meeting, repetitive conversations; wait for somebody to a ride, when I’m hungry or asleep and it is not possible do it. Unfortunately, the persons who I love make some of these things that leave me insane. Then, I don’t have another way to do it besides to put up with they.

The Fourth Class

My fourth english lesson was very fun. As usual, we started the class with the correction of the homework. Then we had two funny dynamic. At first, the room was divided into two groups, and a component of each group had to mime pra his group to guess the phrase. The performances were great. In the second dynamic, the room was divided into three groups, and each group had to answer eight questions relating to a character in the book. Earned one point the group that finished first. In the end, two teams tied.

what drives you crazy?

In my forth class we tell what annoys everyone. The conversation was funny because we reflect about daily situations. I feel irritate when i am hungry, when the people isn't polite, when anything come out wrong and when one place is messy, noisy and dirty.

"The fourth Class" and "What drives you crazy!"

"The fourth class yesterday was so cool. We review present continuos. I felt so much better, because was very funny. All the people make me fell good and relaxed. I hope the next classes will be more exciting yet."

"I hate when some person stay behind of me in the computer. I like to be alone to concentrate me on reading! Another thing that drives me crazy is people drinking beer or smoking near me because I hate beer and cigarettes. Waking up later and take crowded bus makes me crazy too. Fake people who like to humiliate the other makes me very upset. And when my sister doesn't clean the house and leaves everything for me to do."

What drives you crazy?

What drives me crazy is go behind old peoples walking on the street, They walking very slower, it makes me crazy. Another thing drives me crazy is driving in the city Salvador, the transit here is very crazy. I hate when my team loses, I get very nervous, but lose is party in game. I know but dont believe!

Third class

This class was in PAF I, and the class roon was very hot. I didn't like this class because I was headache and I was distracted in this class. We talked about our neighbor and made many exercise.

The Second And Third class.

The second class was very nice. The people were very funny when we played mimicry. We met new students. They are young and very cool.

The third class was very interesting. We went to the PAF1 because the PAF3 was busy and the class was very uncomfortable. But we correct the exercises and practice our oral English.

The third class

The class was very nice,but because of the heat structure of the classroom where he was given was that bad.
I'm worried and evaluotion. I thought it was bad my presentation.
We was very nervous and I missed the auxiliary in the sentence.
The activity in double to inform the older about the personagem he had heard was little difficulkt because i could not hear right by the enviromment in which it was,but then message has been informed.
The place difficult to class, but not longer interesting and it's syllabus as successfully.
The class always important and excelent.
The next class will be wonderful.

First Impression

My first impression about class was very nice, all students friendly and a teacher very competent, hope to see everyone tomorrow...
big hug
Will

We are Carnaval... hauhauh

The Carnaval of Bahia is the biggest party of the world. Many peoples gather in the street of Salvador to running behind of the trio eletric. My carnaval was very perfect, I didn´t believe it would be so good, I went out in several blocks but on different days. I have many miss those days.

My second class

Well, my second class is actually the third class.
It didn't as pleasant as the first, because the PAF III was busy, so we used the PAF I, which didn't have cold water around. Also, the class was very hot, and we couldn't listen right what the others spoke. None, the class was nice, the students participed very, including me! I was very happy about it, because I need to train my conversation and, especially, to overcome uncertainty. Finally, everything was ok, and I hope anxious by PAF III back =)

Third Class
In this hot third class have a lot of activities. We corrected the home work about the great communicators of the peoples; related with the differences between people and animals and with history of communications and your development until today. I learned some used expressions in different social situations. I remembered something about the vocabulary "Neighbors", the relationship existing between them, good, bad or indifferent. And I could to develop my reasoning and my pronunciation in English, constructing and speaking a paragraph about my neighbors.

About my carnival

first, excuse the delay =)
My carnival was very quiet, but very nice too. I traveled to Itaparica england with a very friend, who I had not seen for a long time. We "kill" the homesickness, talk much and was very fun. After, I travel to Aracajú with my boyfriend and my mother, to visit my sister. Oh, this was very very good, onde of my best travel. After four days we back, we came back with good memories in luggage. :D

Second Class

In this second class I enjoyed making some mimic for my classmates about some sentences. I learned new vocabulary: headache, stomachache, earache, toothache, sore throat, backache, haircut, awful, carry, smell and shy. We trained in groups interpretation of texts, we made some questions about it, after this we changed with other group the answer for our questions. Ah, and I remembered the alphabet song to spell some works.

Impressions of the first class:

In the first class, I remembered some things about the vocabulary and the grammar, we were induced to reason the construction of the phrases: questions and small or complete answers, etc. For me the impression that it was is that I need study more English vocabulary, grammar, because I have a long time that I made a English’s course and despite of understand the majority of the things that I listen, I still don’t reach to remember the vocabulary or the phrasal’s construction to talk, it means, I need to think and to reason in English. So, I am enjoyed for the English’s course, because I want to understand and to talk English very well and have this differential.

“What did you do over the carnaval?”

In the carnaval I took a boat to Itaparica’s island with my boyfriend and my father took us when we arrived there. We travelled to Jaguaripe’s city and stayed in a place calling Cações. My mother rented a big house that not has stairs, because she wanted to leave my grandmother Dalva, with eighty-four years old and my aunt Guiomar, with ninety years old, next the beach. So, there I could to enjoy the house, the place, the beach and mainly my family and my boyfriend.

We saw the Cações’s party during the nights, I could to see little fishes and smalls “vaza maré” in the beach; we ate pizza and ice cream, “muqueca”, manga of Salina das Margaridas’s city and drunk “umbu and manga” juice. The beach was great, with calm waters. The only bad thing was the hot weather and a lot of flies. We went to a place calling Mutá, knew a farm’s hotel and had lunch in this place. It was great to pass the Carnaval there!

Third Class

My third english lesson was PAF I. Despite the heat and lack of water, the lesson was very quiet. Initially corrected the exercise of home and followed the lesson talking about the neighbors. Then we did a paragraph by creating a new neighbors, through a photography magazine that the teacher gave us.

Third class

In our third lesson was read and discussed the text "People the great communicators." After that, we talked about the relationship between us and our neighbors. Were distributed figures representing a fictional neighbor, and each student has an essay on the neighbor's figure. This activity was interesting, because it stimulated both the practice of written and oral English. Finally, two groups were divided and each group heard a conversation between neighbors in which stressed the importance of not judging by appearance.

MY THIRD CLASS

In my class we made several activities. The teacher requested for all choose one photo in different people and write about them. We stand up and speak to everybody. The other activity was to divide the class in two groups and every one heard one version about two neighbors. The principal message was that we can't to judge by appearance. Other different thing that happened in class was the place(PAF 1).

The third class

The last class was good but strange. We went to PAF 1 and there classrooms are terrible. The acoustics is very bad and the fans are weak. It was so hot and noisy all the time. It was so difficult to get water. Instead of, we did our first oral test about imaginary neighbors. It was cool listened my classmates talked about their compositions. Someone was funny and creative. Although bad conditions, I learned a lot of things as some new words and a moral lesson: It never judges the others for its appearance. I hope that the next class will be in a normal and better classroom.

Third day, crazy day...

Where is my classroom?!
Before I shout it I had expected the bus over an hour in Lapa Station!!!
My luck was a beaultful girl who waited for same bus I.
I talked to her (eu sou cara de pau mesmo) and discovered she study english in Ufba too!
Then the bus came.. :(
When we arrived at PAFI she went to her room and I never saw her again...
Then I ask myself: Where is my classroom?!
HEHEHEHEH!!!

The third class

I think that was the first student to write about the third class. Of course that is raining in the night of saturday here in Salvador helped my position. In this class we had a problem with the room. It was very hot. But the lesson was a sucess. The part of class that I like more was listen two version about life of the same person, because in the end we learned the moral of the history never to judge from outward appearances.

Second class

The second class was very funny. We meet news studants and asked many things for them. This class was dynamic and we played mimicry game. We finished the first unit and I leared news words.

The second class

Our second lesson began with the presentation of some students. Then it dawned correction activity at home. Was encouraged to participate in groups through the activity "Getting Information" and ideal for oral and written English. Finally, there was an activity of mimicry that favored interaction among students and has enriched our vocabulary with new terms in English.The dynamics of the classes remains encouraging the participation of the group, and the diversity of activities that make the lessons more interesting.

The second class...

My second class was very good. I had so much fun. The guys are very great. We played the mimmics game. Some new students arrived in the room. We did questions for them, like, what’s your name? and how old are you? Again a very dynamic class. I hope it stays that way during all semester.

My second class

The class was wery sensational and comunicative .The activites were very enriching especially the activity in double exchange of information,practicing speech and hearing.
The dynamic (gesture) was produtive,guess creating a sentence,it was a form of learning funny and creative. I liked a lot.
I answared the correction of homework,I liked a lot and I was not nervous.

The second class

The class was very interesting. It began with the correction of homework and explanation of our doubts. Then the class was divided into groups to do an exercise. We asked questions about the text, and then double answer the questions asked. This dynamic was very interesting, because the colleague responded to our questions, and so the pair completed the entire text. I really liked. After that, we received a few sentences so that our double, through mime, guess the word. That was very interesting and funny.

The second class

The second class was interesting. The teacher played a game (mime) about actions, and so many things. It wasn´t my best day but i liked because i could laugh a little. We started the class listening a cd about a woman called Carly and her family. In this moment we tried only listening and complete the question. We finished our class with a "mime game".

The second class

The second class was good and funny. Time passed fast because we continued to make many dynamics as dialogues and mimmics. In the second class we met some new students and we asked they about some personal informations as name and age. I am learning more each day, mainly because I don’t have a good base of grammar. Construction of phrases, questions and dialogues are intersting for my learning process even so little difficult. I feel good and sheltered in the class and I am waiting for the next step.

My second class

In my second class happened many cool things as to know new classmates and to play mimic every one better that other. We are enjoyed so much. We sit in partner and made questions about the text. Also we have heard one text about Carly Robson but i thought a little complicate. The class was very funny.

My first class

My first class went interesting. We learned the pronunciations of some words and remember some topics too. I could to know other people that will be my classmates. The teacher tell us about her classes and about the Learning blog. At first i thought who will be difficult because i haven't many practice with informatics but that's ok. I can practice and to progress now. I hope who this semester be good.

The First Class

I was very anxious to know the new teacher and his teaching.I was very pleased and I think I'll learn a lot.The class is dynamic and fun and even though the first day, many people participated.Furthermore it is an opportunity to make new friends.

"What did you do over carnaval?"

My carnival was very good.I was in Salvador to enjoy the electric trios.
I love carnival and could not stay out of this great party.
Blocks, boxes, popcorn, all kinds I did.
But I went to the beach too.
Best of all, that was a party without violence, with much peace.
It gets better when you're with your friends, celebrating the joy, enjoying all kinds of music.
And as it should be, had a lot of beer, hehehe, but in moderation.
The funny thing, I was trying to speak good English grace to do with the "gringos."
But I think it worked because I made up friendships.
This was the best carnival in my life.

My carnaval

My carnaval wasn`t the carnaval of my dreams but it wasn`t bad. My mother decided to travel to Aracaju and said me: Thiago, lets go with me? I wasn`t happy with this invite, but there was a lot of time I didn`t travel with my family than I went to Aracaju with my parents and my sister. The best thing of my mother idea was we to see my grandfather, my uncle and my cousin.
There we went to the beach, sow the typical carnaval and relax. There are many delicious foods in Aracaju, but the best is the tapioca of the Av. Beira Mar. I ate a meat beijú and one of condensed milk with coconut beijú. I prefered to stay in Salvador in the best carnaval of the world but...

The first class

In the first class I fell so very good. The teacher is happy and the students, in my first impression are good people. In the class we talked about our life and listened of every people`s life. The teacher is funny end the class wasn`t tired. We talk lot but didn`t do many exercises. I think I`ll learn many thinks in this year. (22/02)

Exercise of the week

What did you do over the carnaval?

I love carnaval. This year I go out all the days. I went in blocks, cabins and also at the popcorn. I toyed very with my friends. Already I am with much longing. I am waiting the next. Carnaval 2011 will be better still.

First Class:

The class is very nice. The teacher is a good person and your lesson is very dynamics. The persons too are so good. I think that will be very good to study with all you. The affairs is not hard so for the first class went very perfect.

Sorry teacher. I could only send now.

"First Class" and "What did you do over carnaval?"

"First Class"

Our first English class was pretty cool. We speak with our new classmates. The new teacher made relaxing activities and showed us how will be the course over the next six months. Before we made a fast review and after we will do homework. So the class make me feel very happy and we laugh a lot.

"What did you do over carnaval?"

This year I didn't much enjoy in the carnival. I stayed in my apartment with my sister on Thursday. After I went to Salinas das Margaridas, a city in the region of Bahia Recôncavo and I stayed there for three days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday I got up at 6:30 and went to Ferry-Boat. When I got there I was very happy because I saw my old friends. I was more exciting than my sister. Around at 12:00 we got there and went to the beach. My sister loves Salinas but she thinks it's hottest town of the Bahia.
On Saturday we visited our friends and on Sunday morning we went to some cities next to Salinas. In the afternoon we come back to Salvador city. So my Carnaval in this year was very normal because I don't stayed in the Barra/Ondina as the last 3 years.

First Class and Carnaval

FIRST DAY
In my opinion, the first day was exciting, because was relaxing no stressful. It was a good review, that I could remember the main subjects, that I studied last years of my student carreer. So that's the reason to the first class was important to me.

WHAT DID YOU DO OVER THE CARNAVAL?
My carnaval was good. I stayed in Salvador. My computer and my TV were with troubles, but I've not been home. I went to Barra, at night, twice, like "pop corn", and it was so funny. I went there with family, in a day, another with mother and her friends.
Other days, I woke up late and sleep at afternoon. I went to the club, go shopping and pray. I'm a God' son too.

"First class"

Usually before starting a lesson I'm anxious about what is to come. Gradually you realize that what was expected slowly been transpiring rapidly. Our first lesson was more or less all of a sudden anxiety gave way to calm and fun. The first impression of the teacher proved to be a competent person and fun. A dynamic presentation of the class allowed the spontaneous participation and provided information about each one of us. If the first impression really is that is, this semester promises excellent lessons.

"What did you do over carnaval?"

My carnival was quiet. On wednesday, I went to the Barra with friends and followed some blocks that do not leave the official days of carnival. On thursday, friday and saturday I was at home, following the festivities on TV. On Sunday, I had duty at the Hospital General of the State throughout the day. On Monday I was able to go to the beach during the day and night I enjoyed the carnival on the avenue. On tuesday, I had duty in the ward of General Hospital Roberto Santos during the morning. On wednesday ashes, I prefer to rest at home.

"What did you do over carnaval?"

This year my carnival was very quiet. Spent in Salvador, and only went to a party one day. During the holiday, I rested and I enjoyed my family. Went to other places, visited friends, went to the beach, cinema, studied and rested enough. Only on Monday carnival I went to Ondina, and was fun. I saw all the trios pass, enjoy all the bands, danced very and I met with several friends. It was very fun for me, even if only one day.

"First class"

The first English class was very relaxed. First the teacher gave us tips on his life, so that we might know it better. Then each student wrote a paper on tips about his life, his colleague, through dialogue, could know him more. This dynamic was very interesting because we had a closer contact with our classmates, in a way quite fun. I enjoyed my first day of English.

"First class"

I believe that the first class – february 20 –

was a short summary on the next weeks.

Was a fun class, with dynamic that,

in my opinion, facilitated group interation.

Then, the first class was very good,

the hours passed very fast and was a light and nice class.

"What did you do over carnaval?"

In the days of carnival i stayed in my house,

doing nothing. Or better just eating and

sleeping (hahaha).

Before startt the carnival, I wanted to

travel but it was not possible. I was very

tired of my job and decided to relax in house.

Actually, this period was good, i could stay

more time with my family.

I don't like carnival, I think it's a party of crazys. But the crazys thinks I'm crazy because I live in Bahia and don't like of carnival. Consequently, I don't speak about the carnival. But, I going to write all things did over the carnival.
Over the carnival, my plans for the vocations were conclusive, but I didn't have money and time for do a new plan of vocation, then, i stayed in my house with my mother and my sisters. I watched television, played games and did dowloads of films and books.

"What did you do over the carnival?"

My carnival started very well because i went to Beyonce´s show with two friends. It was amazing. After that, I traveled with my brother Rodrigo to Vitoria da Conquista. My uncle Roberto lives there with his wife Rose and his sons Helder and Vinicius and his daughter Camilla.
My cousin Camilla has a baby called Gustavo, the most beautiful child in this world :D
In the fifth day, my brother and I played tennis with Samir, Camilla´s husband.
In the sixth day we traveled with all family to their farm. It was funny because finally I rode a horse !

"First Class"

I was so nervous before my first English class, because I didn´t know anybody. But, when I saw the teacher and my classmates and talked with them I was relax. We played a game to discover things about ourselves and the teacher. I really liked them and I hope they liked me, too. It was a happy saturday for me.

Composition 02 # - First class

I am very pleased with the course of English at UFBA and I confess I was anxious to resume classes despite having had the need to leave the classroom before the end, I could see that the quality of the course has only increased.
The teacher showed enough skill and professionalism in conducting the class. Friendly and talkative, undertaking of entertainment used to prevent drowsiness common to an afternoon of Saturday, taking the opportunity to learn more and increase empathy among students.
Anyway, I had an excellent "first impression" of 2010.1

Composition 01 # - "What did I do over carnival?"

I´m lover to Salvador´s carnival , every year, I go to the street enjoy from the delivery keys to the city for the king Momo until Wednesday of ashes in the trawler timbalada. But this year I decided to change and tried to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Aracaju.
It was wonderful!, I made a trip plan that allowed me to meet initially Mangue-Seco, where the novel was written Tieta, and had the ride Bugre, the high point, after I went to Aracaju, beautiful city of beautiful beaches.Finally, I made a trip to Canindé of San Francisco where, Catamaran across the river San Francisco, I found that the Xingó´s canyon is one of the most beautiful in the world, with huge rock walls carved by nature.

Composition 2: "what did I do over carnival?"

I went to island of itaparica because I know of the problems (like fights, assaults, and other things) that happened in carnival of Salvador. The carnival is a business that give much money to few people and I disagree that carnival is still a public party. I prefer see the sea.

Composition 1: First class

I came back to study english after of five years more or less stopped. Then I felt difficulty in the first class mainly in to speak. The words dissapeared in my mind in this time of five years. But the important is that I get understand what the teacher spoke. Of course the her way speak helped much to me. And I thought this first class very funny, it is great!

Composition 01.: First class

A word for to resume the last class: regular. But, I don't speak and write the same things, then, if someone to ask for me a opinion the first class, I spoken: "I think the first class could begin with a review of grammar and after, near of finish, do the indiviaduals apresentation".

Composition # 2 - First Class

I was excited before the class. I love english and it would be my first chance to learn more and grow up. Was easy to find the classroom. It had a lot of students there when I came. The teacher arrived after that and I liked her very much because she is insurance, serious in the right way, but is light, calm, have a easy smile and she is a joker too.
The class was full of dynamic to we know each other. First we try find out things about the teacher with some clues like numbers and words. After this, we do the same putting ours personal informations on a paper and change with a colleague while we listened a music. Everybody talked a little about others students and was so fun.
When the class finished I felt that I was accurately in the right place to study english and I made plans to the next class.

Composition # 1 - "What did I do over carnival?"

My carnival was good. Because I don’t like to "jump behind the electrical trio" I went to relax with some friends in Morro de São Paulo. The trip was so calm, we went by car. We talked about many things and had fun together.
When we just arrived we went to the beach, walked and stay in the beach until the night. In second day we walked in the beach until Gamboa, another great place next Morro, where we had a good typical food as lunch. In return we took a little boat because It had a hide tide and we didn’t come back by walking. We have very luck and we saw dolphins.
In the third day we went to the 4ª beach to dive with snorkell and was wonderful. Later, we took some drinks in a beach tend, a very beautiful place, and at night we took a walk in the village.
Morro was full. There was a lot of people there, but we could enjoy the beach and the big sun a lot.
Unfortunately, in the last day I had a stomach ache and past all day in the bed, felling pain. Healthful, the return to Salvador was calm too. My carnival was great.
