vOcAbULaRy!

Hello there!

I was checking some stuff in Macmillan's site (again...) when I came across "The ten best vocabulary learning tips". Nice!
It is in student's section, check it out and see some really nice stuff.
There you can find many tips and games to practice anything you learn from there.

It's funny! Here's the link of the vocabulary games:
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/web_games_vocab_sat.htm

You can choose from a large number of games and test your knowledge as well as your pronunciation listening to the word before you try to figure it out.


Here's the one I played (and I liked it a lot).
Repeat the word carefully and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you an addict? I can help you!

How many of these simbols are you familiar with? Do you usually spend hours in front of the computer and forget to do the real important things, like paying your bills or calling your mother?

First, you need to aknowledge your problem. Only by admitting that you can't stop accessing is that you'll be able to help yourself.

Then, repeat with me: I can do it! I can get over my internet addiction! "There can be miracles, when you believe"

Also try doing those things you've always wanted to: help your community, write that book, start up yoga, go to that nudist beach... Stay busy.

As an ex-addict I can give you some more advice. You can find me on facebook, orkut, msn, twitter etc and I'll gladly help you to break free.

Voyage Voyage

Au dessus des vieux volcans
Glissent tes ailes sous le tapis du vent
Voyage, voyage, eternellement.

De nuages em marecages
De ven d’Espagne em pluie d’Equateur
Voyage, voyage, vole dans le hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales, des idées fatales
Regard l’ocean

Voyage, voyage, plus loin que la nuit et le jour...
Voyage, dans l’espace inoui de l’amour.
Voyage, voyage, sur l’eau sacré d’un fleuve indien...
Voyage, et jamais ne revienne.

Sur le Gange ou l’Amazone
Chez les balcks, chez les sickhs, chez les jaunes
Voyage, voyage dans tout le royame

Sur le dunes du Sahara
De iles Fidjii, au Fujiyama
Voyage, voyage, ne t’arrêtes pas
Au dessus de barbelés, des coeurs bombardés
Regard l’ocean

Voyage, voyage, plus loin que la niut e le jour...
Voyage, dans l’espace inoui de l’amour.

Voyage voyage, plus loin que la niut e le jour…
Voyage, dans l’espace inoui de l’amour.
Voyage, voyage, sur l’eau sacré d’um fleuve indien…
Voyage, et jamais ne revienne.

IH students review local restaurants

Labaredas by Tadeu

The Labaredas restaurant, in Catalão, is the only restaurant I know in town. Actually, I have been there frequently and the food was always different, well prepared and warm. Another important aspect is the service, it is really satisfying and there are not many unnecessary things, I mean, the service is appropriate for this restaurant and this town.
Finally, I recommend this restaurant if you are in Catalão.

Churrascaria Gaúcha by Natália

Churrascaria Gaúcha is located on Lamartine Pinto de Avelar. You can make reservations. The place is nice and beautiful. The service is fast and the waiters are extremely polite and attencious. There are a lot of types of salads and the meat is extremely delicious.
I love this restaurant.

Cantinas Sel-Service by Ricardo

Cantinas is a self-service restaurant that serves very good food and the food is always hot. They serve a lot of types of food bt the lasagna served there is always cold and looks bad. But in general, it is a good place to eat with good waiters to serve you.

Churrascaria Gaúcha by Jefferson

In the rastaurant the food is good. The buffet is special because the waiters are so fast, the meat is fresh and the beans are very good. The restaurant is on Avenida dr. Lamartine Pinto de Avelar. The parking lot is big and easy access. I like it so much.

teacher quotes

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

What's the moral?

Hey guys,
I was surfing on the net when I found this Aesop's fable. It doesn't has the explicit moral, but I challenge you to create your own after you read and reflect a little about it.

The Dog and the Shadow
A Dog, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size. He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him. He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.



So, what's the moral? You tell me!

Have a nice week.
xxx,
teacher Bel

Tell me Why

Não Espere

Não espere um sorriso para ser gentil...

Não espere ser amado para amar...

Não espere ficar sozinho para reconhecer o valor de quem está ao seu lado...

Não espere ficar de luto para reconhecer quem hoje é importante em sua vida...

Não espere o melhor emprego para começar a trabalhar...

Não espere a queda para lembrar-se do conselho.

Não espere...

Não espere a enfermidade para perceber o quanto é frágil a vida...

Não espere pessoas perfeitas para então se apaixonar...

Não espere a mágoa para pedir perdão...

Não espere a separação para buscar reconciliação.

Não espere a dor para acreditar em oração...

Não espere elogios para acreditar em si mesmo...

Não espere...

Não espere que o outro tome a iniciativa se você foi o culpado...

Não espere o eu te amo para dizer eu também...

Não espere o dia da sua morte para começar a amar a vida...

E então, o que você está esperando?

rEaDiNg?????YEESSSSS!

hello there!!!!! Reading... Yes!!!!! One of the most interesting ways to improve your English is reading as much as possible. This semester all levels will read a book to improve understanding and vocabulary. It's something new in school and it will help you a lot, you'll see.

I'm really excited about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Read English texts as often as you can. This could be the news, short stories, or novels, texts from your textbook. Choose an interesting text that is not too difficult for you (otherwise it wouldn’t be fun).

Don’t look up every word which is new to you – even without a dictionary you will understand a lot. Just concentrate on what you do understand and try to find out the rest by intelligent guessing. That works rather well, especially if you are interested in the topic. If you are a football fanatic for example, you probably won’t have problems understanding an English text about football. On the other hand, someone who is better in English than you but not interested in football will have more problems understanding the same text.

Do also watch English news. Even if you don't understand every word in the English text, you will get the message as you already know what the text is about.

Read between the lines!!!!!!

So, if any of you got interested in start reading here's a link from Macmillan:

http://www.macmillan.com.br/catalogo/livros-paradidaticos.php

Take a look at these books, choose one from your level (pay attention to this, the right level is very important otherwise you can get frustrated) and download the ones that are available.

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
