          Mark, Frank and Tom are friends since they're children. They live in Canada with their parents and last vacation they decided to travel to California. The city was well-known because of the best parties in the summer and the most beautiful girls spending their vacation there. Their wish was to go there by themselves and do whatever they wanted.

          On January 6th the three friends arrived in California and they went to the hotel to take a nap to go out later. That night was going to be the most famous party of all summer in the city. But there was one problem: they didn't understand why the hotel was so empty, but some days before something strange had happened there. People had seen ghosts when the lights went off.

           They were ready to the party and when they got in the elevator, the lights went off again. They got stuck in it, so they started shouting for help, but nobody could listen to them. After a long time, trying to shout louder and louder, they gave up going to the best party. They decided to talk about frightening stories, when they felt something touching them. Was it something or maybe someone? They were afraid of what might happen. Someone started making noises with the hands and the mouth. They became quiet as they had never been before.

            Fortunately, the lights went on and the elevator became bright. They saw a figure going out. The only thing they wanted to do was to get out of the elevator and to go to the party, which might be almost finished. They passed by a man who looked at them with mysterious eyes. When they arrived at the party, they saw that same man there.

            During the party, they were looking for the pictures with reports on the walls, when they saw one with the man's picutre saying about how tragic his death had been. They became so frightened, but Mark woke up. It was just a nightmare.

           On my last vacation, I went to New York with my parents and my two sisters. I was so excited because my dream was to go there. I had the chance to visit all the tourist places, such as Times Square and Central Park. As we were too tired and sleepy when we arrived, we decided to go to the hotel, where we could take a nap and take a shower. So we could relax to start our amazing trip.

           On the following days, after being relaxed, we woke up early to go walking at Times Square; I was impressed with all those big stores and the low prices of the things that were from famous brands. Then we went to Central Park to take a lot of pictures and appreciate that beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, the satue of Liberty was closed for upkeep. The place where the World Trade Center was built was only a big hole; I became very sad seeing that because I remembered the September 11th.

          On the other hand, New York is a very interesting city. There are so many different kinds of restaurants, with mouthwatering options of food. Even though the city is very crowded, it is a wonderful place to go; for that reason I recommend it for everybody who wants to visit there. However, you can't go there without having a lot of time to visit most part of the famous places and stores, the best restaurants, the big parks, among others.

      The XX century will always be remembered because of the big number of inventions that became an important aspect of this century. So many things became easier with the invention of the blender, the electronic microscope, the first computer, the DVD, among others. However, the best invention was the cell phone.

      The mobile phone was invented in 1983. It has brought some facilities to people since then. The first cell phone was enourmous, but it served to help in the world's communication. But now cell phones have more functions, sizes and prices. They can support many additional services like SMS for text messaging, internet and other kind of things as well.

      The world communication has improved since the invention of the portable electronic device. Peolpe can communicate in long distances, anytime, anywhere as well send archives like photos, music and emails to other people or maybe to a computer. The mobile phone has been sold all over the world. In the United Kingdom, there are more cell phones than people, like in other countries. People from all ages and from low and high societies have the privilege of having such a good device. The top five in order of market share are Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson and LG.

     Anyway, there's no doubt that cell phones offer a really good media service, making our lives easier. It is becoming more and more important because people are having more chances to buy one; also buying conditions are improving considerably.

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 ;**

 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
