Semester 2A

That semester was good. I liked the diverse dynamics used in class, games, activities in group, musics, and more. That semester is very important, especially for me, whose reviewed verbs tenses. One suggestion is use more activities using musics for example to complete the music using works in a chart but this words have a similar sound. About the blog, that is a good ideia but much people doesn't post. In this case, I suggest insert one activity (individual or in group) about specifics subjects who the classmates choise. (USA, technology, books, event, party, etc). Bye. Good vacation.

THE END OF THE SEMESTER

DEAR ALL,

I'LL BE AT PAF III TOMORROW, JUNE 14TH, FROM 6:15P.M. TO 6:40P.M. TO GIVE THE FINAL RESULTS. I'D LIKE ISABEL AND VICTOR TO CONTACT ME. HAVE A NICE WEEK. ADRIANA.

Lesson 2

In day 27 of february, was my first lesson. Was made some exercises for formulate questions and the colleague had the answer. We talk about our relation with my neighbords ficticius, photos of magazines and others.

Class : 03.20

Last saturday, it was a very funny! there were a game that each student was a famous person and everybody had to discover who the other person! After, the students played other game : one student there was reading a text that was out the classroom while other student writing the text! I had difficulty see text , run and talk that I there was read!

Class: 03.13

In 03.13 The students played mime and everybody talked about “what drives you crazy?”. The class was divided in groups, and each group there was a read the text about people that living in the USA and answer some question about this people!

what drives me crazy?

Many situations drives me crazy. I hate it when my brother leaves things on the floor and when he don't cleans the kitchen or don't washes the dishes. In transit, that really annoys me when the bus driver gives me a "fechada"! I hate when someone leave me waiting or someone promise me that will do something and she or he doesn't do. And the which drives me crazy when someone don't belives me.

Last Class

The last class was very good and interesting. We have a dynamic group where each student talked about an artist and the other had to said the name of the artist and afterward other dynamic where one student readed the text that was in corridor and spoke to another student who wrote. the winner was the pair who finished first.

Last Class (20/03)

The last class was very good. We have a dinamic in pairs: one person read a text and the pair spoke words for complete the text. This nivel we can pratice more the english language with grammar or with fluency. I wrote and read more english text this period.

Class: (20/03/2010)

The class was very interactive and funny.The pronunciation was the strongest point of the lesson.We learnt many new words by several examples and the teacher encourage us to form sentences with these words.I had difficulty to form questions from to exercise that was given by the teacher,but i tinhk that these lesson´s strategies are helping me to improve my grammar,my vocabulary and my fluency in english.

First Class

The first class was really good.In the first the teacher introduce herself through of a dynamic .Then we have to discover things about our classmates(talking with them) through of the same dynamic.And after that we talk a little about ourselves. We did some activities from student book too.
I really like of the first class.The dynamic was really intresting and the teacher is really cool.I hope that be a nice semester.

The Carnaval.

I spent the carnaval in salvador,but far away from “blocos” and “trios elétricos”.In the firts days I stayed in home.On monday and tuesday I went to the beach with my family.And this was really nice.

What drives me crazy?

I hate bad education, also hate when a car stop in front my house and put music loud.Outher things that annoys me is when a person smoke near me, is very boring! I'm a person calm, but this are things irritating.

My Carnival

This year i not me fun in the carnival, fun me in other place.I went with my family and some friends for island.I went for Salinas das Margaridas, a place cool.But i was anxious to know Morro de São Paulo,than is place very beautiful, a little place, but very cozy...was great!I can say, i going to Morro de São Paulo again!

What drives you crazy?

I think me a quiet person, i am always laughing. But everyone is angry in any time.
with me is when i am sleeping and someone wakes me up without necessity. Also when somebody takes my things from out of place and i can't find more.
Or when my soccer team loses, even playing well.

What drives you crazy?

which makes me very angry is when my brother keeps me from using the computer. Another thing is people who smoke near me, when I'm at the bus stop.
I hate working with lazy people who never do anything.
Despite this I am a person who rarely gets angry!

Fourth class

The class today was wonderful! all activities have helped me in some aspect. The class was concentrated. I'm always excited when I learn something new, so it was great to have learned about: What drives you crazy?
I loved the class

What drives you crazy?

I hate when any people touch me when are talking. I think this unnecessary. We can talk with only the mouth. I hate when my girlfriend bites me too. I am not fresh meat! The last time I got very furious and said "Oh my God! It hurt very much!". But I am an calm person (for others person because I am very disquieted inside me).

Fourth Class

After class we students separated in groups. We read an text about one person and after completed questions about this text in the blackboard. We can train the skill about prepare answers and text interpretation. I am confuse in the english course because my university course is very hard and with various disciplines (are ten in the totaly). I hope finish the course alive!

Class three

The class went very peaceful. The teacher is patience with us. I like my English curse.

Second class

In class I have difficut because I don´t study in hollidays but I promese to study. The first semester is review and I have to study.

Carnaval

I love carnaval. Irealy enjoyed the holiday. I went every day. I went friday and saturday by Barra. I saw Ivete, Daniela, Chiclete, Claudia Leite... On monday i and my fiancé leave with Claudia Leite in "Bloco Papa" and on tuesday we leave With Tomate in "Bloco Inter".

It drives me crazy!

There are many things in this world that annoys me, but as I said before, something that annoys me a lot is pagode! I don’t really like that kind of music, they’re borring! But seriously, one thing that I can’t stand is exhibitionism. You know those people who think they are better than all without reason? It’s ridiculous! People are much more than appearance!

Fourth Class

The fourth class was better than the third class! As I said, the third class was the worst of all the classes I've ever had! But the fourth class was very funny! It's the first semester of the course I'm really excited! Well, the teacher separated 3 groups of 7 persons, to make the reading of a text. Then each person would answer the question on the blackboard. It was like a race! In the end, everyone got candys! Love! We read the text then, all together, and Tássia spat her candy in my arm! It was very funny.

Third Class

Third class was definitely annoying! We had to go to another room and that room was very big and hot! It was very hot there! The class was horrible, the worst English class for me. But there was one activity we did that was super cool. It was to sit with a classmate and do mime until the person finds out what I was trying to say! It was funny!

Class March, 13

The past class went very funny. Everybody played and talked about yours "hates". We had games about grammar, one race against time to be the first. And this is my remembers :)

What drives you crazy?

When my brother of 1 years cries all the night, everytime, and I wanna sleep, but I can't. Oh! I really hate this!

Class: 03/13

The last class was once again very dynamic. Had enough exercise in pronunciation, which is very important to our learning. I like a lot of activity in the context of sentences.

What drives you crazy?

What drives me crazy is my mother. It is sometimes very concerned about the time I get home and it pisses me sometimes. She is very stressed and just stressing everyone.

Class:13/03/10

I enjoyed the lesson in the last saturday.I think the games were really nice,because they allowed the students participated in the lesson.I noted that the students fitted in at the class very well,this fact allowed the students speak more fluently.

What drives you crazy?

The week of exams drives me crazy,because it is very exhausting.I usually attend study groups,so I stay at college every full day from this week.We need to review a lot concepts and information for the exam.I go to the college around 6:50 a.m and I go back home around 8 p.m after I finish the preparation for the test.The other thing,that drives me crazy,is to wake up early with the sound of the alarm clock.Whem this occurs I have an awful day.I don´t like the sound of my my alarm clock,because it is too loud.

What really drives me mad!

It´s when I´m waiting a bus and it not come in the hour.

Oh God, I get very angry and tired with delay.

Funny is what I have impression that always happen those thing with me, but

when I not need, it vem!

Even seem that is for provoke me! lol

Third Class

The Third class had many students, whom didn't come in the before days. The class was in PAFI. The room has a bad acoustics, which difficult to listen the teacher and the cd player.

There was one activity which our students needed communicate with your partner without speak. Another activity was about a history about Mr. Snell and Steve, they are neighbor. For me, the correction the compositions (blog) was very important, because I corrected many errors.

Third class

My third class wasn't one of the best. The room was hot and had many people (new students arrived). I was distracted, but I did all the activities. In the first activity we talked the neighbors of the history of the book. This activity was great and helped me in vocabulary. Other activities I didn't like, because I didn't think I added much. But in the end, I found very important to the teacher talk about the mistakes we were making the compositions.

3rd Class

On last saturday the class was in PAF I.
The class began then the students there were than to comunicate without using any words. After that we spoke about that the history we listened (history: the old woman talked that she thought about your neighbor and he talked about your life). The activities were very funny. The classroom was very hot but still that the lessons was very cool.

3rd Class

The last class, the best english class in my life (my opinion) we used mimic for dinamic with our colleagues. But I have difficult in the translation portuguese x english. This made perceive the importance of the think in english. We have too an conversation about two neighbors. With this class, I could win more vocabulary and fluency in my english.

3rd Class

The last english lesson was good. The students were grouped with others to talk about several issues and this interaction allowed them to express their thoughts in english . However I had difficulty in expressing my ideas in spoken words clearly,because I have a poor vocabulary.
Every day,I try to read magazines,books and journal in english in order to improve my vocabulary. I will not give up learning english.

My 3rd clas

I did not like my third class because I was a huge headache. The room was very hot, noisy and I was shy on the last saturday. I hope that next class is best(in PAf III)! rs

3rd Class

On the last saturday we had an atypical class.
On other place, other classroom, and something can impossibility the development of the class, but all was well and we knew new classmates.
We corrected the exercises of the second class observing the pronuciation and the correct grammar.
The exercises developeds in pairs was so good because they worked our capacity of expressions and make phrases.
Other great thing on the class was the explication of the english pronunciation with the intonation used by a english language native.
See you on next class my friends.
Good Bye

Third class

It was so hot in the class... I did'n fell me good when I needed to do mime, I am so shy for this things. But it's always good talk to my friends.
I prefered to have the opportunity of read the text in the class, for I to learn better the pronunciations.
There wasn't enough time for the last game.

Second class

My second lesson was quite interesting. Write a composition in class was very good because it helped me in writing, something I have difficulty. The timing of construction of the questions I felt a little lost, so I need to study more and do my reviews.
Overall, the lesson was important because it showed me many things I have difficulties.

Second Class

My memory isn't good, so I forgot to read about this class and now I don't remember what happened. Only remember about the game about neighbors, that it was funny, because we made little histories. I am liking of speak English in the class, because the teacher talk about us mistakes and we learned with this.

The second class

The second class was my first. It was very interesting, very dynamic. I had a little difficulty because I had 1 semester without do the course, but could participate. I found the class very interested, all eager to participate.

My Carnival

My carnival was very busy. I was 4 days for the circuit Barra / Ondina. I left 1 day in a block. I managed to finish the carnival without viral "Rebolation" different from last year. In the end, I enjoyed a lot.

Second Class

The second day was pulled over! Andreia corrected activities and spent an oral activity in the class. One person had to pick one picture and then make a text about his neighbor, citing characteristics and saying how it was the relationship of both. In the end, I think I was good in the apresentation ... Now, everything will be more difficult, but with a little effort we get there!

Carnival

I spent my carnival in my home, because I don’t like very much the carnival. I don’t like the types of music, like axé and pagode. I hate this songs! But the good side of this: I enjoy the days days off to wake up late, hanging out with friends and surfing on internet, of course! At least for that carnival serves!

First Class

Well, my first day was ... cool! I don’t expect it, but it was very good. I reviewed my friends who are with me from the first half of the course. first, the teacher introduced herself, saying her name: Andreia. Then, we made a circuit making to know us. She spoke with each student and was super nice. what appeared to be difficult became easy. I think the first time I was not afraid of English.

Second Class

My second class wass dynamics.There was two activities , a group about a text and another with all students about neighbors.
I liked the activities with my colleagues which could practice and test our knowledge. I felt good, but I need study hard, review grammar and practice more.

Carnival

My carnival didn´t have a party! I didn’t go to Rio or São Paulo consequently I didn’t see any parade. I didn’t travel to recife then i didn’t dance “frevo”. And I didn’t come to Salvador so I didn’t jump and play with “trio” too.
During my carnival I stayed in my family’s house in Campo Formoso city. There I watched many movies and some series like “Two and a half men” and “Gossip Girl”. I read the bibliography of Disraeli too, this book is wonderful! My carnival didn’t be excited, but it was a quiet.

Second Class

In the second class we made questions and answers in ou "Student book". I perceved an difficult in the conectivies use. In the "writing" about my neighbor and others "writing" I perceved the same problem with conectivies

First Class

I perceveid in the first class the importance in pratic of english language. The vacation is mortal inimical of teachers and students, but I perceived too, the efficacy in the plan of my new teacher. I can and I wan lerarn the english language!

My Carnival

I like carnival very much. Last carnival, I played thursday and tuesday an "camarite Skol" and "camarote Praieiros". I traveled to Ilha de Itaparica friday and returned tuesday for play in the carnaval of Salvador. I traveled sunday for Morro de São Paulo too, but I returned in the proper sunday.
In the traveled I was with my girlfriend, her coursin and my mother-in-law. My carnival was very nice but in the saturday after carnival my happiness finished with my first class in 2010.

Second class

The second class was very good. The group Work and the dinamic pictures were interesting. In the group work served to us review the questions words, but i believe it was the needed more interaction between the students.
In the dinamic of pictures i were like write more details, but i don't knew write in english

Second Class

The second class was my first class. For me was very good, the dynamics elaborated on the classroom were very good. I had some difficulty because on the vacations I don’t studied English. For me the mor difficulty part was the listen, because with the development on text, I miss the way of the interlocutor. See you on next Saturday!

My Carnival - 2010

My Carnival was very nice, I’m working on Public Safe Secretary, on the days before the big party on the streets, I did a inspection on the posts.

On Saturday I and my girlfriend Zenya, were to the Barra’s circuit, we dance and sing with VOADOIS. On Carnival’s Sunday, we were to Jauá and we had relax days, swimming on the pool, playing volleyball, in contact with the nature. On Tuesday we come back to Salvador, because Zenya would work on the gray Wednesday.

ATTENTION, STUDENTS!!!

NEXT CLASS, MARCH 6, WE'LL MEET AT PAF I. WHEN YOU GET THERE, THERE WILL BE A LIST GUIDING YOU TO A NEW CLASSROOM. PAF III WILL BE CLOSED ON THIS DATE.

Second Class

The second class was cool because has more students and information. I liked the dinamic of group of photographs, but i had difficulty in make the questions. I need more study in this part.

First Class(27/02/10):

The today's class was tense and I did not feel free.I was pretty nervous and the little knowlede,that I have,was blocked.I wanted to stop my course,but I thought a little bit and I should try test my limits.

My Carnival

During the carnival I traveled to Valença in Bahia. This year I prefered relax because my house are near the party, however had a insupportable noise. The travel was very good. I went to Valença thursday ando return the next thursday. During theses days I went to Morro de São Paulo and Guaimbim. This cities are near to Valenaça.

In Valença had a party, Monday, tuesday and wednesday but this parth is very different to Carnival Salvador. Any fights and less noise. Resuming, Valença is a good city and is as hot as Salvador. When it's hot we go to the beach.

First Class

The fist day, in general, was very good. I don’t like much to back to wake up early, on a Saturday. However, the teacher is a good person, and the class also. I liked too to talk and listen in English, despite being shy and miss all the time, I find challenging.

My carnival

My carnival was more peaceful, i went to the island with my family. Actually this is our tradition, we meet there during this period, because we don’t like very to the ruckus.
Despite the trouble to arrange the bags, puts in the car, and travel on the ferry boat, which is a very slow, we are happily. We arrived on Friday at night. Fist we clean the house, after relax. Unfortunatelly was late to enjoy the beach
In other days, went to beach two times per day. It is wonderfull enjoy the sea, the nature, take a sun. I liked a lot.

My Carnaval

Well, this carnaval was the best carnaval of my life. Come to the facts!
In thursday, i and my friends were to aeroclube plaza for buy the "abadas". Arriving there, our first option "yes bahia" was much expensive, then we buy the "eu vou". The bloco was very cool because we were five friends having fun." In second day, i and my friend Gabriel were for popcorn of Moraes Moreira. Was Wonderful! Many people beautiful playing together, without strings.
Already on saturday, i went get my fantasy of Gandhy. After, i went to pelourinho and there did my turbante. After again, i went to my house, stopped for lunch and went for ondina fastest.
The following days were great, the white carpet is beautiful, magic, tradition perfume and necklaces. Many necklaces, many looks, many kisses and fun!
I loved the carnival of 2010! The coming of the next!

First Class:

My first class at the intermediate A was a shock.I could see that will be more difficult and require a lot of the students. the teacher looks like a good person and she didn´t left doubts about the importance of this level.Your valuate method is really relevant.

My Canaval

This year in the Carnival,I spent most of the time in my house reading a book or using the computer. In the first day,I watched some movies and series in the television at the morning and at afternoon I went to the mall with some friends from University to shopping and improve the sales.The next day,I stayed home and helped my mother to clean the house and at night i went to a carnival party with my friends.

Monday morning I went to the beach to get a little bit tanned and walk on the waterside to make some exercise ,then I went home to take a shower and have lunch.After my lunch,I stayed home and take a nap.Tuesday I went to Campo Grande to see the blocks. It was really amazing because I could see a lot of famous singers like Ivete Sangalo,Saulo Fernandes,Bel Marques and I had a lot of fun singing and dancing with a lot of people behind the electric truck.

My carnival!

In this carnival I traveled to a different city that I did not know. I was invited by two friends to go to town where they grew up, and there a lot of fun. We spent most of the time in the city and another on the farm, walking, doing parties and meeting new people. It was pretty cool, enjoy this trip too, mainly because I made new friends.
The city is very small, however, is very quiet and does not become routine living in a city like Varzea the Poço, because the people are very kind and is a pleasure to live in the city.
The city has up to a carnival and for those who do not like confusion, the party is a great option and I intend to return to the city sometimes.

My First Class

My first class was very good. Mrs. Urpia is a great teacher and she has a good personality. I liked the activities because there was an interaction with the students, espcially me and some students who didn't study in NELG.

My colleagues are happy and my expectation is that it encourages the class for studies and friendship.

My first class

My first day in class was wonderfull, surprised the expectations! The dynamics of the teacher is very good, because left me quiet and safe, without pressures! My new colleagues are good persons and this is cool!

BBMP!

The first day!

The first class was quiet, the teacher spoke clearly in English throughout the lesson, but I could understand what was said.
At first I was afraid when the teacher Adriana began to speak only in English, but when I realized I was understanding everything.
I found it really cool how the class was given and I am anxious for the next meetings, I am also excited about the teaching method of teacher Adriana, and I hope to learn a lot this semester.

My first class

The first day in class was wonderful!
I had many expectations, because I wanted to know how to be a teacher, my new colleagues. I was very happy to feel more free to speak in English because the teacher at all times we were asked to talk in English.
The activity was very interesting because we learn more about the new colleagues and also begin to practice English. My first impression was very good both as a teacher of my colleagues, it seems that this semester will be much progress in the course.

My Carnaval

My holiday carnival was normal and quiet. I wanted to stay in Salvador, but my family decided to travel to Santo Antonio de Jesus, them had to go with them, because I couldn't be alone. I was in Santo Antinio for ten days and enjoyed visited my friends, for had a good time since I saw them. As I has much to do, I watched many movies, lintened music, we had a barbecue in the family, I ended up a report of the university and the rest of the time took the oportunity to relax and focus energy for this new semester. We went back to Salvador on the last day of carnaval, and I was just calling my friends to know how the holiday and mark them to come out and I get my clothes. The rest of the day I was used a computer. This holiday could be more time with my family, so while not doing much, was nice!

First class

I liked the first class, the time spent so fast and I talked in English more than the others class. I usually am shy, but in this class I felt myself better. I loved to met my news colleagues, they are friendly. I liked the first game, because everybody had the opportunity of the to talk with one person alone.

My carnaval

In the first day of the carnaval, I went to Barra and stayed near of the Barra Center. My father was there with his abadá then he was jump. I found my friends and they took me for to meet other people who I didn't see since 2008. We were of the side the Eva's Trio and we danced and jumped a lot. Then, when I backed for the Barra Center my mother has leaved, so I went to sleep in the my friends' house, because the taxis didn't go to my house, that were so near for theirs.
In the second day, I also went to Barra. When Banda Eva arrived, they play a music with Daniela, It was so beautiful... I met other people and it was so funny.
In the saturday I stayed in my house slepping a lot.
Sunday I went to avenue, near the Italia's house. I danced the reboletion.
Monday I also went to avenue.
Tuesday I went to my father's house and sleep there, because my father said that the last day of the carnaval is so dangerous.
