In the end of my vacation I had to start my english course. Was my second semester in this course, I meet great teachers, like Nathália and Manoela, but  this semester I took a fright because my english teacher appeared with a student.

In the beginning was difficult for us to understand what he said, because his english pronunciation was very good, like an american man. But with time we learned to hear him.

One thing that I found awesome in his teaching method was the use of new technologies like blogs. And, ofcourse, the use of videos in room class. Videos combined with fonetic was very good, easy to learn.

In the final was a unforgettable semester, the teacher, the classes, the lunch and the most important thing: the friends that I made.

The Global Crisis has modified the society. Yesterday I went at the supermarket and I stayed paralysed  when I saw the prices. They were quite expensive. I went to buy some cake’s ingredients.

Here my list:

- A dozen of eggs

- A kilo of flour

- A chocolate packet

- Butter

- Sugar

- A gallon of milk

But when I went at the attendant and she said:

“That’s $ 15.00.”

But I only had $10.00. I thought with myself: “I’ve got to get out of here”.

And I said: “Oh! I left the oven on, I’ll be right back!”

And I never came back to that supermarket and the cake was made with borrowed ingredients. Neighbors are made for those things.

I think there is a different way to play with the freshmen. We, veterans, could make a recipe to add the ingredients of the new hoax.
Let’s do something different!

Ingredients:

- 20 freshmen

- 10 veterans (or more)

- 3 cups of responsability

- 1 teaspoon of conscience

- And add creativity to taste

After this step, take the freshmen and go to the nearest bar for spend the money who freshmen ask to the people in the traffic. And remember: Drink in Moderation!

This movie tells a story about Lars. He’s an introverted man with emotional problems because he has a complicated relationship with your brother. One day, he decides to introduce Bianca, a friend he met on the internet, to your brother and his wife. But they are stunned because Bianca is a life-size doll, not a real person and he is treating her as though she is alive. They consult the family doctor who explains this is a delusion he’s created and everybody has to help him to heal this delusion.

This movie is much funny and it’s about our relationship with other people.

I recommend, to laugh, to cry…

This movie didn’t came to Brazil yet, but in April it’ll released in movie theaters.

But sometimes our country is the destiny for some people who just want to enjoy without rules. They think that in our country everything is possible but they forget that here there is rules made to be follow.

There are some differences between the tourist that only comes to here for celebrate, take sunbath on our beatiful beaches and meet our women or men. And some people comes to here for to find a place to live, study and work. These people see the Brazil with different eyes.

“The Brazilian people are very pleasant”. Yes, we are. But Brazil isn’t only soccer, Carnival and beaches and our people must be respected.

P.S. Look that example of the view that some foreings have of the Brazil.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT THE MOVIE

This movie is directed by Marc Webb about the script of Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber and had a session première in Sundance, but for a while only have a official opening in USA (07/24/09).

“An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman (Zooey Deschanel) who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who falls for her. Over a span of 500 days, it is told from the perspective of Tom, who is influenced by pop music and breaks out into song throughout the movie”.

And now, watch my own clip: This video contains scenes of ’500 Days of Summer’ with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And the song is ‘Sweet Disposition’ – The Tamper Trap.
