Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Aumente seu vocabulário inglês com apenas 1 letra

Hi guys! I found this very interesting article on the internet, it's worth reading!

Com apenas uma letra você vai transformar substantivos em adjetivos.
O Sufixo –Y

O sufixo –Y significa “que tem qualidade de” ou “que tem aparência de”. Ele é acrescentado a substantivo para formar adjetivo. Veja:
Salt (sal) – salty (que tem qualidade/aparência de sal = salgado)
Oil (óleo) – oily (que tem qualidade/aparência de óleo = oleoso)
Se o substantivo monossilábico tiver a combinação CVC (consoante – vogal – consoante), a última consoante é dobrada antes de se colocar o sufixo –y. Veja:
Fat (gordura) – fatty (que tem qualidade/aparência de gordura = gorduroso)
Sun (sol) – sunny (que tem qualidade/aparência de sol = ensolarado)
Atenção: nem todos os substantivos ingleses aceitam o sufixo –Y. Por exemplo: o substantivo “bus” (ônibus) não gera o adjetivo “busy” (ocupado). Por isso, não vá você gerar adjetivos ingleses que nem os anglofalantes nativos conhecem.

If you like it, you can read the complete article here.

Have a nice weekend!

Desastre ecológico. Prestige.

El desastre del Prestige se produjo cuando un buque petrolero monocasco resultó accidentado el 13 de noviembre de 2002, mientras transitaba cargado con 77.000 toneladas de petróleo, frente a la Costa de la Muerte, en el noroeste de España, y tras varios días de maniobra para su alejamiento de la costa gallega, acabó hundido a unos 250 km de la misma. La marea negra provocada por el vertido resultante causó una de las catástrofes medioambientales más grandes de la historia de la navegación, tanto por la cantidad de contaminantes liberados como por la extensión del área afectada, una zona comprendida desde el norte de Portugal hasta las Landas de Francia. El episodio tuvo una especial incidencia en Galicia, donde causó además una crisis política y una importante controversia en la opinión pública.
El derrame de petróleo del Prestige ha sido considerado el tercer accidente más costoso de la historia; la limpieza del vertido y el sellado del buque tuvieron un coste de 12.000$ millones, según algunos documentos, el doble que la explosión del Challenger pero por detrás de la desintegración del Columbia y el accidente nuclear de Chernobyl.

Body Parts Game!

Hello everyone!
This week my students from Inter 4 studied the body parts and we played a very funny and popular game here in the school. The class were divided into two teams and each team had the same number of cards with different body parts names written in the them. Both teams chose a model upon which the cards would be sticked on.

UP - movie

Hey, guys...

Last classes my students watched a part of the movie "UP" because we were talking about LOVE, RELATIONSHIP, MAN x WOMAN. Have you ever seen this movie? Take a look at the movie's story:

Carl Fredrickson, a little boy and a dreamer who idolizes the adventurer Charles Munts. When he meets Ellie, who also worships Munts, they become close friends. However Charles Munts falls into disgrace, accused of forging the skeleton of the monster of Paradise Falls. He travels in his blimp to South America to bring the monster back alive but is never seen again. Eventually Carl grows up and marries Ellie. They promise each other that they would travel together to Paradise Falls and build a house there. Many years later, Ellie dies and Carl, who's lonely, refuses to move from their house despite the offers of the owner of a construction company. When Carl accidentally hits a worker that damaged his mailbox, he is sentenced to move to a retirement home. However, he uses many balloons to float his house in order to travel to Paradise Falls. Adventure ensues.

Now, take a look at this video...

Have a wonderful week!!!

Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and the tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue has become an icon of freedom and of the United States.

Bartholdi was inspired by French law professor and politician Édouard René de Laboulaye, who commented in 1865 that any monument raised to American independence would properly be a joint project of the French and American peoples. Due to the troubled political situation in France, work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s. In 1875, Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the Americans provide the pedestal and the site. Bartholdi completed both the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions. The arm was displayed in New York's Madison Square Park from 1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened due to lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the World started a drive for donations to complete the project, and the campaign inspired over 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue was constructed in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland.

BODY PARTS....Inter 4

   Hey, people....How are u???

My students from Inter 4 are reviewing body parts vocabulary...

Take a look at these pictures... :)

See u...

5 words your students won't find in the dictionary.

Do your students think the dictionary is the end all be all when it comes to language resourses? Have you seen students that are linguistically paralyzed if you say no doctionaries allowed?


These are the words your students won't find in the dictionary:


Slang: Slang is always a big red flag for English as a second language students. Because language is always changing, because it is a living and fluid thing, there are always new words being born into English. After a piece of slang becomes more commonly used and is used by a larger portion of the population, it may gain status by being added to the dictionary. For example, in recent years the expression “ginormous” (a combination of giant and enormous) gained some popular usage. Most English speakers would say it is obviously slang, but it now appears in the dictionary, labeled as informal language.


New Technology: Slang is not the only place language changes. With scientific advances moving forward every day, language moves right along with it. Words are added to English with many scientific discoveries or technological advancements. Because of this, the dictionary will not reflect these recent additions to the language, even if they seem like legitimate words. For example, if someone were to ask you what a netsurfer is, you could probably tell him or her it issomeone who browses the internet for entertainment. You will not, however, find this word in the dictionary.


Loanwords
What do you think of when you hear the word fahrvergnugen? How about joie de vivre? In fact, both speak of the joy of life, of living the good life, and neither of these expressions is English, not in the traditional sense, anyway. When two languages have natural contact with one another, whether through business or social relationships or another means, the speakers of these languages at times will use words from the language not their own. With continued use by those original speakers and then the adoption of the foreign word by other native speakers, what was once a foreign word becomes a part of (in this case) the English language. These words borrowed from one language into another are called loanwords. 


Acronyms
In this age of text messages, perhaps the most necessary “words” your students will need to enable communication with native speakers are acronyms. An acronym is a word that is composed of the initial letters of the words or the important words that make up a larger phrase. Some acronyms become commonly used words over time and make their way into the dictionary in their own right, radar and FBI for example.


Finally, as anyone who has ever had a lesson on the dictionary knows, the valuable reference books do not include proper nouns and names among their entries. Most students will expect this to be the case, and they will not depend upon dictionaries to understand these words.

Crazy story...

Hey,there...

Last class my students from Inter 6 made up a story like Stand up comedy... They had to start with "I traveled to" and when I showed an object they must use it in the story. Let's see what we got:

I traveled to England with my father and my sister. We visited my uncle and my aunt. We were walking in the park when my sister found a ruler and she played with it. My mom didn't travel with us, because she lost the ticket. So she went in September. We went to Big Ben... (Larissa) It was a crazy experience, my parents loved that place. My sister bought a monkey and we went back to my uncle's house. My mother was preparing lunch for us, but my father wanted an egg, so my mom went to the supermarket to buy it. (Alcione) Then, after this wonderful trip, we decided to go to the beach in Brazil. In our lunch, at the beach, we decided to eat with a spoon, because it was easier. In the afternoon, we noticed that we forgot our toothbrushes in London and we decided to go shopping. After we bought them, we ate... (Vanessa) pizza with some friends and my friend Silvana gave me an Equequo, because I'm not lucky this year. After eating, we decided to do the dishes but there isn't a sponge. So we went back to the supermarket... (Eliel) and we bought it. But we didn't have much money, only some cents. But instead of buying a sponge we bought a yellow balloon. As we were so hungry we went to the supermarket again and we bought a green apple and we were so happy. (Elder)

Thanks dear students =)

Kanji (Ideogramas)

Minasan konnichiwa!

Kyouwa tchotto kanji no ohanashiwo shimashou!


Os kanji ou ideogramas foram criados na China há mais de 3500 anos. No início, não passavam de desenhos que, com o tempo, foram esquematizados em imagens pictográficas até adquirem formatos atuais.

Há diversas teorias sobre como e quando os kanji foram introduzidos ao Japão. O mais provável é que os japoneses tenham conhecido os kanji, já evoluídos até os formatos atuais, por volta do século IV a V, e tenham adaptado para transcrever a sua língua, criando leituras próprias. Assim, um único kanji possui várias leituras.

O kanji considerado o campeão de leituras variadas é o “生” que significa “vida, nascimento, vigor, pureza”, podendo ser lido sei, shô, nama, ki, i(kiru), u(mareru), ha(eru), o(u). Como pode ser observado, os kanji além de serem símbolos gráficos com idéias, podem ser utilizados como representações fonéticas. Assim, poderemos brincar de escrever os nomes estrangeiros em kanji.


Por exemplo, “Mário” pode ser escrito 真理男 (lê-se 真=ma, 理=ri, 男=o) 真significa verdade, ,理 a razão ou lógica e , 男o homem, ou seja, homem lógico ou com a razão verdadeira. Ainda, “Miriam” pode se escrever 美理案(lê-se 美=mi, 理= ri, 案= an), 美significando beleza, ,理a razão ou lógica e,　案a idéia, ou seja, bonita com idéias lógicas.

Por se tratar de representação gráfica de idéias, existem milhares de kanji. Porém, como são combinações de dois ou mais caracteres básicos, se souber os caracteres básicos, não são letras tão difíceis. Por exemplo: os radicais que representam o elemento semântico do kanji, basicamente, são em torno de 250 ou pouco mais.

Exemplo de alguns radicais:

シ= significa água
Exemplo de alguns radicais

海mar　 湖lagoa　　池represa　　沼represa　　

木= significa árvore
Exemplo de alguns radicais

林bosque 　　森floresta 　　机escrivaninha 　　松pinheiro

心= significa sentimento, coração
Exemplo de alguns radicais

恋amor 　　悪maldade 　　恩gratidão 　　恥vergonha

Omoshiroidesho!

El ombligo del Mundo

(CUZCO)

El Cuzco[1] (quechua sureño: Qusqu, Qosqo, pronunciado [ˈqo̝s.qɔ]), o Cusco (grafía oficial reciente), es una ciudad del sureste del Perú ubicada en la vertiente oriental de la Cordillera de los Andes, en la cuenca del río Huatanay, afluente del Vilcanota. Es la capital del Departamento del Cuzco y además, está declarado en la constitución peruana como la capital histórica del país.

Antiguamente fue la capital del Imperio inca y una de las ciudades más importantes del Virreinato del Perú. Declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1983 por la Unesco, suele ser denominada, debido a la gran cantidad de monumentos que posee, como la "Roma de América";[2] actualmente es el mayor destino turístico en el Perú, con una afluencia anual de cerca de un millón de visitantes en el 2008.[3]

Cuenta con una población estimada de 358,052 según el censo peruano de 2007,[4] lo que la ubica entre las ciudades más pobladas del país.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore near Keystone, South Dakota, in the United States. Sculpted by Gutzon Borglum and later by his son Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of former United States presidents (in order from left to right) George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.The entire memorial covers 1,278.45 acres (5.17 km²)and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level.

South Dakota historian Doane Robinson is credited with conceiving the idea of carving the likenesses of famous people into the Black Hills region of South Dakota in order to promote tourism in the region. Robinson's initial idea was to sculpt the Needles; however, Gutzon Borglum rejected the Needles site and chose the larger Mount Rushmore. Borglum also decided the sculpture should have a more national focus, and chose the four presidents whose likenesses would be carved into the mountain. After securing federal funding, construction on the memorial began in 1927, and the presidents' faces were completed between 1934 and 1939. Upon Gutzon Borglum's death in March 1941, his son Lincoln Borglum took over construction. Although the initial concept called for each president to be depicted from head to waist, lack of funding forced construction to end in October 1941.The U.S. National Park Service took control of the memorial in 1933, while it was still under construction, and manages the memorial to the present day. It attracts approximately two million people annually.
