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..."

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