On October 23rd 2005, all eligible citizens will be required to vote, responding to the question YES or NO to the question, "Should the sale of all types of firearms and ammunition be prohibited in Brazil?"The debate on gun control is a heated one and opinion is divided. While many Brazilians are against gun violence and would like to lead safer lives, many argue that curbing the arm trade will

It is widely sung throughout the Commonwealth realm during official occasions.In 1977 during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, a punk rock band called The Sex Pistols released an anarchistic and anti-royalist song with the same title.

Hello, today at morning, we had a very interesting class. There we spoke with students from others countries (in microphones) like Denmark, Taiwan and USA. Well each one of us spokes a little about us (likes and dislikes), our city and school. Everyone was able to listening and learn (perhaps) more about us and other students. I liked a lot this type of exercise, first because is a new and

So, today morning we talked by internet with some people from Denmark, Taiwan and United States. We introduced ourselves to them (where are we from, how is here, do we like here...) after this they asked us some questions and doubt about us, or something that they would like to know about us. It was really nice because we interacted with people from other countries, and they with us. In my

Well, about the online conversation that we had today, I just LOVED IT!!I was really embarrassed, because everyone had a prepared introduction...but I was absent, but anyway I liked it. Right now I'm listening to myself speaking, and I'm feeling ridiculous, but it was a good experience.

Hello everybody!!! Today, we chatted with students and teachers from other countries by microphone. They were from Denmark, Taiwan and United States. We had to introduce ourselves and to answer some questions asked by them. It was great especially when we sang "The girl from Ipanema" to them.

So, this morning was really exciting... We were talking to various people in the world, in fact, two teachers: Venny form Tailand and Anne from Denmark. We were introducing ourselves and I had to talk to say "It's a very sunny day in São Paulo, a quarter past eight, we've just began classes" or something like that. I was so nervous, but after that it was fine and I volunteered to talk after

Hi! I think doing a blog to write what we think about English classes and English language and all this stuff is kind of very interesting. And, me, if I have to choose between homework in a book, and a text on a blog, I'd rather do the blog. Kind of lazy.. I know... And, nowadays the world turns around the Internet, and books and all this stuff is being replaced, so the blog....is like the

For me the blog is a place where I give my impressions of my English classes and other things related to the English language, culture and music. It is very nice because I can put images and links. But sometimes I don't have time to write :-(

I think a blog is much fun to a certain level, that is, when we are free to post what do we want post. If I am forced to post things about class material, the blog is not fun anymore!!!

I think that there are two sides to blogging. The first one is positive: we learn by doing a blog and at the end of year we have a result of our work throughout the year. Another good aspect is that we do some new activities like creating a restaurant and commenting on other people´s blogs. However, the part that I don´t like is that we are obliged to write every week and that I prefer to

I think that it is more exciting to post in blogs than to write in notebooks. For people who don't write very well, the blogs are a good option. We can put images and links to illustrate our texts and we can correct our mistakes! Nevertheless, the blogs also have their disadvantage like the fact that sometimes there we have technical problems with the computer and that we can't do the login to

I think that using a blog in English class is very interesting but sometimes it becomes boring. A blog should be a personal space, where people write about their experiences, likes, dislikes and their routine ....it's sometimes difficult to write about English lessons. A blog is made to be a pleasant thing, where people write what they want when they want that's why I don't feel like writing in

For me, the blog has advantages and disavantages. I think that it is better to write in the computer, than on a piece of paper, and we can write more. I like to writte in the blog because we can put what we want and we also need to put comments about the class. On one hand, it is interesting because we have to think about the class, however, on the other hand, we must write every week, and it

As Jérémy, Klara and Caroline said, I think that posting in a blog has some advantages and disadvantages. I think that the positive items of the blog are: we can change the date, it's easier to correct grammatical mistakes, we can put some illustrations and we can comment on the posts of our friends. Now the negative items: I prefer to write in a copybook as although I haven't got the problem

Hello everybody!!! How are you? Like Jeremy, I think that blogs have some advantages but some disadvantages too. The advantages are: - On the computer you can write more easily than in a copybook, it's faster and for the teacher it's more pleasurable to read and correct... :) - You can put some pictures and images for illustrate your posting or your homework. - You can enjoy yourself writing in

I think blogs are web pages where you can talk about someone or something. Using it for school work is different, a little bit strange, but better than writing on a piece of paper: you can illustrate it and give links. But if the computer or the internet doesn't work, then you can't write on your blog.

You may want to illustrate what you mean with photos or images from the web (do not forget to mention the source at the end if you take it from a site).

You have many ways to get on with people in our days! If you're a shy person the internet is a good option, because you can talk to people, but you can't see them, neither they! But if you're an extrovertid person you can meet people in public places! Like pubs, night clubs,parks, etc. But you also have to be a really nice person, because if you're not, then I don't think that people will

What is the best way to get on with the people? For me the best way to get on with people is talking with my friends. Through them I can meet other people, and someday they can be my friends too! English class is also a good way to meet people, because we always talk with persons coming from different countries, we learn other cultures and we can show them our culture. It's great! In

The best way to get on with people is to talk to them, respect them, etc. After you know someone really well, you can make fun of him, if he understands that is a joke. Nevertheless it is not very nice to do it to the others. Sometimes you don't like when someone does that kind of joke to you. But respect is the most important thing. You have to respect people's culture, family, etc. People are

The best way to get along with people is to respect them, I think, and not to make fun of them, and all these kind of things. I think that respect is very important.

In my opinion, I think that the best way to get on with people is to be a very sociable person. If you are not sociable, you will be hated by a lot of persons, and you will not get on with people. You must have a lot of sense of humor, and you must be a nice person to be with. If you do not have sense of humor, the people are not going to appreciate you, and if you are not nice, people are going

Hello everybody!!!! Yaya I think that the best way to get on with people is to be different. We have different points of view, which can result in very interesting conversations. Sometimes it is irritating ,I admit, when people talk about things you don't like or things you can't bear. But there are also good things about having different points of view. For example we can learn new stuff! Of

I think that the best way to get on with people is to be sociable and friendly. For that you have to help people and to be nice to them. You have to go to public places (Malls, pubs, clubs...) and have initative to talk with different people and not be shy. If someone comes towards you, you can not be rude to him, because if you do it, people will never talk to you again, because they will think

What is the best way to get on with people? I think that the most decent thing to do first is to introduce yourself to your correspondent. Then you may ask him about his life and what he likes to do. This way you'll find some common interests and you'll be able to have a nice conversation. Of course this depends on your personality.
