Personality test - my eighteenth class

HI

My last English class with Sonia, on March 21st, was really amazing.

We talked about movies. This subject started because Márcio was there with two DVD's that he and his family watched during the weekend.

Sonia asked me if I had gone to Shakira's concert last week. No, I didn't. By the way, the concert was cancelled because of the strong rain.

We talked about chocolate and how the Brazilian chocolate is sweeter than ihe ones made in other coutries.

Maybe that is the reason why I don't LOOOOVE chocolate, but when a FINE chocolate "throws" into my hands I really get crazy.

We reviewed the active and passive voices and we took the Tibetan Personality Test.

This test was created by a Dalai Lama. It is a very simple test that can describe your personality and how your life is in this moment.

Well, speaking of personality test, according to one topic of the test my CAREER is my current priority, and according to another topic, I am a SMART person... (it can be good....or not...rs).

So, this theme took us to another theme: Chinese Zodiac. According to Chinese Zodiac, I'm PIG, and being pig means:

"Noble and strong, the Boar or Pigs are noble creatures and will always put others ahead of themselves, especially their family. Friendships they build will last a long time even though the reckless nature of a Pig can sometimes be tough to handle. Pigs are a bane to themselves".

So, I already have used this test with my friends.

OK guys, that is all for now. See you soon...kisses and hugs!

Ps.: this is my favorite chocolate

Poker - my seventeenth class

HI, HOW ARE YOU?

At the last class with David, on March 17th, we had a lot of fun.

We played, one more time, hung man. This game is really great to improve the vocabulary.

We also started to learn how to play poker. I was sure that game was very difficult, but not. I guess that it is easy, you just need to have good luck and be smart.

During the class I needed to go out the classroom for a few minutes because two friends of mine went to the school to get with me tickets for a concert. These friends are Dinho and Binho, from Goiânia.

At that time, it was raining cats and dogs, but it was very good to see them again.

Ok guys, good luck for you.

Voices - My Sixteenth Class

HI

At my last class with Sonia, on March 14th, we talked about how our weekend was, like every class.

We continued to talk about Present Perfect and Past Perfect and started to talk about Passive and Active voices.

We talked about movies and books.

I just know that class was very very interesting and it ended 30 minutes later.

Sonia asked us about a change of schedule. The next class will sart 30 minutes earlier.

Since some days have passed from that class, I forgot many things, but I promise that I will tell you more about my next class with Sonia.

I missed again - my fifteenth class

HI!

Poor David. I missed my last class with him....Again!

Not por David....Poor Vitor...rsss, if I continue to do that, I will never learn.

It was on March tenth, one day after ash wednesday and like I said, my soul was in carnaval yet, rs.

Carnaval - no class

Hung man - my fourteen class

HI PEOPLE

Only Marcio and I went to the last class with David, on March 3rd.

There, we played hung man, a classic game.

We read some articles too.

I go to Rio de Janeiro - my third class

HI!

Well, I know I'm late. It is because...huuummm... there is no explanation, I'm late and that is all.

During the last class with Sonia - on February 28th - we continued to talk about Present Perfect, and we started to learn Past Perfect Tense. Sonia told us: "The past perfect tense describes a past action that happened before another action in the past. It is often used in English when we are relating two events which happened in the past. It helps to show which event happened first..."

One more time, we talked about Holidays,. It is because this week is Carnaval and we will not have class on the next Monday.

Speaking of Carnaval, during all the class, the teacher was shaking her shoulders and singing "Riioooo de Janeirooo", just those three words. We - the students - didn't understand anything, so, at the end of the class, a classmate asked her what that was. Sonia got surprised because we didn't know that song.

So, she sent us a URL of a video where "Muppets" sing that song that is named "I go to Rio".

I put below a video with "Muppets", the lyrics, and another full version of the video performance by Peter Allen.

I need to say something. I'm sure that class was the BEST class that I have had until now. I like that kind of class. More dinamic.

"I Go To RIO"

Pablo Cruise

"When my baby,
When my baby smiles at me,
I go to Rio
De Janeiro.
My-o me-o...
I go wild and then
I have to do the samba,
And la bamba.

Now I'm not the kind of person,
With a passion or persuasion
For dancin' or romancin'.
But I give in to the rhythm,
And my feet follow the beating
Of my heart.

whoa oh ohh...
When my baby,
When my baby smiles at me,
I go to Rio
De Janeiro.
I'm a Salsa fella,
When my baby smiles at me,
The sun lightens up my life,
And I am free at last.
What a blast!

Whoa oh ohh...
When my baby,
When my baby smiles at me,
I feel like Tarzan
Of the Jungle.
There on the hot sand,
In a bungalow
While monkies play above-a,
We'll make love-a.

Now I'm not the kind
To let vibrations,
Trigger my imagination
Easily.
No, that's just not me.
But I turn into a tiger,
Everytime I get the sight of,
What I love, love, love.

Ohh oh oh...
When my baby,
When my baby smiles at me,
I go to Rio
De Janeiro.
I'm a Salsa fella,
When my baby smiles at me
The sun lightens up my life,
And I am free at last.
What a blast!

Wooooo hooooo...
whoa oh oh ohh...
whoa oh ohh...
When my baby,
When my baby smiles at me,
I go to Rio
De Janeiro.
I'm a Salsa fella,
When my baby smiles at me
The sun lightens up my life,
And I am free at last.
What a blast!

(Rio)

When my baby smiles at me,
I go to Rio.
Rio,
Rio De Janeiro.

Take me back,
I put it in.
Take me where I know
I'm gon' to Rio.
Oh ohh..."

Performance by Peter Allen 

Well, that is all for now. Have a good Carnaval and drink a lot. ENJOY!
