Reflection File! :D

To start, I want to say that I liked very much the English' classes of these three years!

I think that I was always a good student because I had good notes in summative tests, I did all the homeworks and other works, and I was always ponctual, responsible and organized...

I'm going to miss these English' classes... and I 'm going to miss the teacher Teresina, too (of course!) :)

I liked very much to do works, for exemple, the portfolio, using the new technologies (computer, Internet..). It was very funny, interesting and it help me to understand some things...

Finally, I think that I deserve a 4 (four)... :)

Good Holidays, for everybody!!! :D

The Nightingale and the Rose

"The Nightingale and the Rose" is a beautiful, romantic but tragic story! However, I liked very much! :)
This is a summary of the story... I hope you like it!

One day, a boy arrived to a holm-oak tree very sad and crying because the girl who he liked only will dance with him, that night, if he gives her a red rose.
But the problem was that in his garden there isn’t a red rose.
The nightingale that was in the holm-oak tree was very sad, and she was sorry for the boy, so she decided to go looking for a red rose to the boy.
The nightingale looked for the red rose everywhere. She asked to many trees but anyone had a red rose.
After some time, the nightingale found a tree that had red roses, but to get one the nightingale was to sing all night.
However, if the nightingale sang all night, she would die.
The nightingale said that Death was a good price to pay a red rose. She said that Love is more important than Life, too.
So, the nightingale sang all night, she suffered very much, but in the end she could get a red rose for the boy.
In the following morning, when the boy woke up, he saw a beautiful red rose in his garden.
Then he ran to the house of his love (Professor’s daughter). But the girl didn’t want the rose, she said that jewels were better than flowers.
The boy was very sad and angry with the girl and returned his home. And he also said that Logic was better than Love because he thought that Love is a silly thing.

texts about technology (made by me)! :)

How much has technology changed your life (at home, at work, in school)?

Technology changed my life very much! Now it's easier to do many things, like works, talk with friends, learn new things, ..., thanks to technology.

The new technologies (mobile phone, internet, etc.) provide me more time to do other things, for exemple, to listen music, to watch TV, to play, etc.

For me, technology is essential to understand almost everything about society and the world because with technologies, we discover many things in less time.

In school, technologies help me to understand many things and to do works.

At home, my free time is spent watching TV, listening to music, surfing the Net, ...

Without technology... I can´t live!

Technology at school

Tehnology at school is very important to help students to study, to learn, to do works, ...

In classes, some teachers use technologies like computers and Internet to teach their students and help them to understand many important things.

My school is linked to the Internet and it has two rooms with computers that all students can use, but only to work.

Technology at school is very important and essential to me, because I need computers and Internet to do works from different subjects and with the new technologies, students can learn new things.

Youth and Technology... My Opinion!

How bad are mobile phones for young people?
I think that mobile phones are good and important to young people because they sometimes need to phone to their parents and they can talk with their friends, too.

Should teenagers have mobile phones?
Yes, because if happen something they can call to their parents, for exemple.

Should they use mobile in classes?
Of course not! In classes, teens must to pay attention. Classes are to learn and not to make calls!

*Smoke and Fire*

This is a summary of a book that I read.... "Smoke and Fire". It was very interesting and funny! I hope you like it! :)

Mandy is a girl who works at “Chicken King” to raise her own money, and she goes to school, too.
Her brother, Jason, smokes cigarettes, and he isn’t a good student.
One night, Mandy arrives home very tired.
And as she needed to study Maths for a test, Jason went to “Chicken King” working in Mandy’s place.
He liked to work there and he met two guys, Marvin and Gaz who invited him to go to the park that night.
However, when they arrived, the two guys invited Jason to smoke cigarettes and then to smoke marijuana, a drug.
But, Jason didn’t want to and decided to go home.
He knew that his father would be angry with him, but what he didn’t know was that his father and Mandy were looking for him, that time.
They were very worried, but they could finally find him.
His father shouted at him, but his sister believed him.
And, finally, Jason decided to stop smoking. And Mandy never went back to “Chicken King”.

...*British Museum*...

The British Museum is the oldest, and one of the largest museums in the world. It's a museum of human history and culture in London.

Its collections, which number more than 13 million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present.

It was founded in 1753 by Act of Parliament, from the collections of Sir Hans Sloane, a physician and scientist.

NICK... a champion and an example for everyone!

I don’t have words to describe this video… it touched me a lot!
In my opinion, Nick is a CHAMPION, an amazing and fantastic man, he fights a lot and he never gives up!
He has disabilities, but it seems that these disabilities don’t prevent him to fight for life!
He looks happy… and I think that he wants to show us that being a disabled doesn’t mean that we are insignificant and need help all the time…
He’s independent and he shows us that he can have a normal life!
People like Nick are champions!
This video shows us that everyone can dream and make their dreams come true!
Nick is an example for everyone, he’s a true champion! … :)
