Access 2B - A holiday report (Class DW1370)

Visiting Petrópolis

Last June my family and I went to Petrópolis with Sara's school (her friends and her teacher). Sara is my niece and she's seven years old. We went by bus and we stayed there only one day. Sara met her friends and her teacher at school in the morning. We arrived at Sara's school at about 7.30 a.m. and we took a bus at about 8 a.m.

In Petrópolis we had a very good time. During the day we visited many places and we also walked around the city. We saw The Santos Dumont's House. It has many high stairs. We went to the Crystal Palace and Quitandinha Hotel, too. It has a very beautiful architecture.

At midday we went to a small restaurant. It was comfortable and the food was delicious. The children ate a lot and they played there very much. My mother, my sister-in-law and I had lunch together. Sara had lunch with her friends near us. After lunch we saw the famous Imperial Museum. It was The Royal Family's House. Our excursion was excellent because it wasn't very cold. My family always love Petrópolis because it is a special city and the people are very friendly and polite. I think Petrópolis is a wonderful city. We went sightseeing a lot but we didn't buy anything. I bought three pairs of earrings and one necklace. My mother bought a necklace, too. Sara and her mother bought chocolate and cookies.

We took a lot of photos. In the afternoon we went back to Santa Cruz da Serra. We arrived there at about 5 p.m. We didn't have problems and we had a great time.

Basic 1B - My typical school day (Class DW0924)

***ALEX VALÉRIO***
On Mondays I start school at 1.50 p.m. The first subject is Maths, I hate it. After Maths, I have an English class. I love English, but after English I have an Art class, it's so boring and I can't stand my teacher.

My school subjects are very nice (some). I take 13 school subjects but in the UK there are 20. I don't study PSE, French, German, Technology, Drama, RE, but the others I do.

I like so much my school because of my friends, some teachers, the girls (so much!) and the food. But I don't like some teachers, the director, some people and the Maths and Art classes.

***EDUARDA SOARES***
I always go to school at 12.30 p.m. On Monday my four subjects are: Portuguese, Physics, Spanish and Biology. My classes finish at 6.50 p.m.

Some subjects that the people in the UK study, but here in Brazil I do not have: German, Drama, French or Citizenship.

Some of the things that I like in my school are my teachers and the class, but one thing that I do not like is the classrooms because they are too small.

***CAROLINA DIAS***
My typical school day is very funny for me. On Monday I start school at 11.40 a.m. and finish at 5 p.m. At 11.40 a.m. I have Biology, at 1.20 p.m. I have English, at 3 p.m. I have a break, after the break I have P.E. at 4.10 p.m. and I finish school at 5 p.m.

Monday is my favourite school day because the subjects are my favourite ones.

In the UK there are many different subjects than in my school: Drama, French, RE, Citizenship, German, Cookery, etc.

In my school I don't like the uniform, the Geography and Art teachers, but I like my friends, etc.

In my room, I've got a white desk with two chairs of different colours: pink and blue. That's where I study. In my desk there is a white lamp, a lot of photos and books.

My sister and I sleep in the same room. My bedroom has two beds and two wardrobes. I've got two bookshelves where I put my photos and my magazines.

The window is very big, the curtains are pink and the carpets are pink, too. I can look at the ceiling and see my ventilator.

_______

I've got a bed, a black lamp and an alarm clock. I've got a brown desk with a white chair. That's where I do my homework.

I've got a brown chest of drawers, and five bookshelves, for my CD-player, my MP3 player, my DVD player, my magazines and my school books.

The window is large and the curtains are white, green and red. I don't have a carpet because I have an allergy to it. My walls are almost lilac.

My favourite place. My room!!!!!

Amanda's bedroom

______

My name's Nicholas ...

My bedroom's got a cold floor, so I wear socks. The walls are blue and the ceiling is white.

In my room, there is a wardrobe, a computer, a TV, a video-game, a bed, my two guitars, my games, my school books and a special wall with metallic paint, where I put my fridge magnet.

This is my favourite room because I can do everything I want. Without it, I don't live. I love my bedroom and my things, too.

Basic 2B - Our intentions (Class DW1424)

FERNANDA FARIAS SOUZA
I am going to university when I leave school. Maybe I change my intention, but at the moment I want to be an architect. I am going to travel to other countries and be a good professional. I can’t forget one thing: I am going to try to be more communicative.

I want to be an architect because I like drawing and studying Maths. I am going to travel to other countries because I want to meet other places. I’m going to be more communicative because in this way I am going to be a good professional and I want to be a great person.

BIANCA SANTANA MENDES
I am going to move to London and I’m going to speak all kinds of languages very well. I’m going to be a famous translator and I’m going to buy a library too.

I am going to move to London because I love London. I’m going to speak all kinds of languages very well because I think that it is interesting. I’m going to be a famous translator because I think that it is a distinguished career and I’m going to buy a library because I really love all kinds of books.

LORRANA RODRIGUES PEREIRA
Before I get married, I am going to study Medicine at university and I’m going to do something different first, work in a hospital as a nurse, or something like that because I’m going to get some experience before I start my career. Also, I’d like so much to find a boyfriend!

I’m going to do these things because I want to have a great future and stability in my life with a nice job and a nice family.

FRANCISCO VIANA DE SOUZA JR.
Before I get married to a person, I’m gonna study a lot to become what I wish to be, and a pure reflection about a lot of things too, like me and the future. I’m gonna travel, I think. At last, I want a material and an emotional stability.

I’m gonna study a lot to later meet my professional success and reflect because this makes me more human about the world. I will travel, it’s a nice experience if you know how to enjoy it. At last, if I don’t have a material stability, I’m gonna live a crazy life without “security”, but with emotional stability, because it’s very important to know very well your heart.

PAULO JR.
Before I get married and have children, I’m going to leave school and study at university to become a vet. I’m going to work in a veterinary clinic. Before I have children and get married I’m going to buy a house and after that I’m going to marry and have two children, one boy and one girl. But before marrying and having children I can’t forget to finish Cultura Inglesa and travel around the world!
