English Project - The Beatles - 1ª Série EM Escola José Mazella - Taubaté-SP



















Esse trabalho foi realizado, em grupo, pelos alunos da 1ª série do Ensino Médio. Eles deveriam pesquisar sobre a vida dos Beatles, escolher uma música e explicar o porquê de ter escolhido essa música.



Ao apresentar o trabalho, eles deveriam trazer a música para ser tocada para a sala e distribuir uma cópia da letra para os outros grupos.



Esse trabalho desenvolvido pelos alunos foi muito bom, pois todos se interessaram em fazer e gostaram, pois através do relatório entregue por eles ao final das apresentações houve muitos elogios e gostariam de fazer mais atividades como essa.



Parabéns a todos pelo empenho!

In the Job Market



Editor


When you read a book, a magazjne, or anything written, most of the time you don't realize that you're not only reading the words.
Editors work together with the authors of the text and take care of all the visual aspects - coloring, font, pictures, font size - you name it. And that's not all. These professionals are also charge of supervising the production process, as well as taking care of deadlines and budgets. They even get a say about the quality of the information that's being published.
If you come an editor, you may work with publishing houses, communication, publicity, and web-design companies, or with any institution where books, journals, magazines, textbooks, manuals, pamphlets, brochures, posters, and flyers are created. You may also work with image treatment.
In order to become an editor, a person has to take a four-year course. Eight semesters is definitely not much, if you consider the fact that the market is expanding and there are more opportunities for editors every day.

brochures: folhetos, brochuras
budgets: orçamentos

What does it mean to be a citizen?



The question "What does it mean to be a citizen?" has no simple answer. On a purely-definition based description, what it means to be a citizen is that a person is a legally recognizes inhabitant of the country he or she lives in. In the UK, this means the person pays taxes and is entitled to the help of the benefits and NHS systems, However, in practice, aswering the question "What does it mean to be a citizen?"is far from easy. As new rules and tests for people wanting British citizenship show, being a citizen is about far more than a legal status. It is about understanding and accepting and being a part of the culture, raher than an observer from the outside. [...]

Sonnet of Fidelity



Sonnet of Fidelity
Vinicius de Moraes

Above all, to my love I’ll be attentive
First and always, with care and so much
That even when facing the greatest enchantment
By love be more enchanted my thoughts.

I want to live it through in each vain moment
And in its honor I’ll spread my song
And laugh my laughter and cry my tears
When you are sad or when you are content.

And thus, when later comes looking for me
Who knows, the death, anxiety of living
Who knows, the loneliness, end of all lovers.

I’ll be able to say to myself of the love (I had):
Be not immortal, since it is flame
But be infinite while it lasts.
