Hello, guys! This is about my trip with a tour group in 2006 to Walt Disney World, in Florida, Usa. It was my first trip abroad and I went with my sister. I enjoyed very much every day I had. I loved to go with her! It surely was the best experience in my life! We went to many parks, such as Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Busch Gardens.

The greatest invention of the twentieth century: The Internet
The last century was marked by many historical facts, such as wars, commerce innovaton and other things. Moreover, there were many inventions that are present and still active until nowadays. The society of the XXI century really needs to communicate. So in this sense, no doubt do we have that the Internet, invented in 1969, was the greatest invention of these last years.
Human beings need communication. Because of the enormous population on Earth with its several languages, the society needed to make things easier; That is, faster, more approachable and practicable. So that's what the Internet offers. For example: by this invention, many people are now able to talk to another person, from another, from another completely different country. Also, there is the famous e-mail, which is very accessible.
The society of this century must be more evolved. That means that we need more knowledge. Being informed is one of the most important aspects for the population in general because every year, it gets harder to get a job and, having information, it becomes less hard. The Internet is a great way to get it because it comprehends news from all around the world and it's also more specific than some books, for example.
This great invention has revolutionized people's lives. In a couple of years, the people will probably be using only the computer for work, fun or even economic reasons. Also, a considerable part of the world communication will be by the Internet. A new age has alredy started and human beings must be prepared for it today and tomorrow.

Party of my dreams!
Hey everybody :D
These are pictures of my 15th old party that happened on november 15th last year. It was in "Espaço da Corte", a well-known place for parties, graduations, weddings, auctions, celebrations in general. It was everything magic for me, the party of my dreams. All my friends and family were there to celebrate with me that unforgettable night. The food was peeeeerfect! It had many kinds of shrimps, salads, filet, desserts and chocolates! I performed a "tango" choreography, it was veeery nice! Everybody liked it! I'll try to put here a little video that my friend filmed by his cellphone, that's why it's not very good to see, but you can have an idea of how perfect it was! That was the happiest day of my life until today. If you
wanna see more pictures of it, tell me ;D ;**

That's me
Hi everyone,
My name is Rodrigo Dias, I'm 17 years old and I live in Brasília, that it is a very beautiful city, and the capital of my country Brazil.
I'm in the last year of high school, at Maristão, and also the last year of my english course at Thomas Jefferson. When I finish the high school I pretend to do Law.
In my free times here, I like to hang out with my friends, go to some nice partys and play the acoustic guitar.
I like also theater, I don't go very much to the theater, but I really like to act, I have already done some course related to these, but i do not do it anymore, because i don't have enough time anymore.
I think that's all, if you want to know anything else, it's only ask.

That's who I am!
Hi people!!!
My name is Lorena and I am 15 years old. I was born in Goiânia, the capital of Goiás, in Brazil. Unfortunately, my parents were living here, in Brasília, that's why I live here with them. If I could live alone, I would live in GYN (Goiânia) because most of my cousins live there and I'd like to stay with them most part of the time.
I study at Sigma, the one in Asa Sul, since I was six! I love that school. The teachers and friendships that I did there since the first day I went to have classes are very important to me. In my free time, I like to speak to my friends on the MSN, see videos on "youtube", watch soap operas, hang out with my friends and my family, among other things. I can play volleyball since I was 10, it's my favorite sport! When I finish high school, I wanna study medicine at UNB or UFG. If I do good exams on both universitites, I'll decide to go to UFG to live in Goiânia, my citytown.
I like to study English because it's an universal language as well as it's very nice and beautiful. Certainly, learn it is going to be a very important point on my curriculum. That's who I am and what I like! If you wanna know something more about me, you can ask ! ;D

Ítalo
Hello, my name is Ítalo, I am fourteen years old, I'm from the capital of Brazil, Brasília. I like Brasília because it's the place where I was born and because I've always lived here. I have many friends and cousins who live here and I appreciate that. I study at Leonardo da Vinci, a famous school in the city and this year I am in first grade of High School. I study every day at home but in my free time I like to go to parties, I love to watch movies, sometimes I travel with my family, which I like too. I like several kinds of music, I can play the piano, the flute I can know a little about the mouth organ. I often play soccer and I play basketball once in a while because my cousin can play it and always when I visit him, we both play that sport together. I also like pizza, chocolate, salad and rice and bean, a common meal here in Brazil. I am easygoing, outgoing, I like to hang out with my friends and I love to be with my family.- »Permalink

About me
Hi,
My name is Geovani, I'm 43 years old, I have two daughters. My hometown is Brasília but I was born in the state of Minas Gerais, in a small city named Brasilândia de Minas. I live in Brasília since 12 years old.
I worked at a bank for 16 years, but nowadays I work at TCU (Tribunal de Contas da União), the Federal Court of External Audit from Brazil.
In my spare time I used to go out with my friends to a bar or cinema. I like play squash and I like swimming too.
I study English because sometimes I have to do some jobs that English is necessary. I think that English is very important for our communication when we travel to another country. So, I study English at Casa Thomas Jefferson in Brasilia (a good English school) for seven semesters.

About me
Hey!

I'm Daniela (or Dani for the ones who want to call me this way) and I feel very pleasured to be blogging here. I'm from Brasil and I was born (but still living) in Brasília, the capital. Also, I love this city and one of my hopes is to be living here for all my life. Well, I think I should let you know what I like to do, because that's one of the ways for you all know little more about me. When I'm not at school, I like watching TV, going out with friends to see a movie or maybe just to talk..Yeah! I love talking with people - such as any other girl. However, I don't think I have hobbies: if I do one thing I like many, many times, then I will not like it anymore. That's why I don't do the same thing always...Talking about other things, I enjoy speaking English because I can talk with a lot of people in the world if I know that language. Also, here in Brasilia, if you can't speak English, it will be probably hard for you to get a job. To know English is considered "basic" in this city. However, I like Spanish too. It's a dinamic language that matches me.
That's it. I hope you like it!

My introduction
Hello everyone! My name is Ronaldo and I am an English teacher. I love my profession because of the beauty of the language learning process. For me, learning a language, "memorizing" hundreds and hundreds of words, and being able to express yourself in a new language is simply extraordinary!
I was born in Brasília, the modern capital of my beautiful country, and have been living here since I was born. I have been married for a little more than two years now. That picture was taken last year, on my birthday, in a very nice Argentinean restaurant called Corrientes 348 (I ate a great "Picanha Argentina").
In my free time, I like to surf the web, listen to music (I believe I'm very eclectic), watch movies and play the saxophone. My favorite kinds of food are my mother's and Japanese!
That's it! If you want to know anything else about me, feel free to ask!
