Movie: In time (O preço do amanhã)

It’s a interesting movie. The movie is about life and money. It’s in a society without money, money is time. It’s difficult to explain, but I will try. When you work you don’t receive money, you have a chip and you receive time to live. When the person complete 25 years, the person stop to get old and active your chip and win hours from the faily or with work. In resume when you are a millionaire you have more time in the life.

Lesson Plan / Grammar: Used to - Written: 09.07.2013

Yesterday I had my first class with my teacher, Marcos Santos .He is great! Very competent with his job.

He introduced me to S.W.O.T

S -   Strength

W – Weaknesses

O – Opportunities

T – Threats

We identified this method in me, is good because I will study with focus in the competences.

I have so many activities and development to do:

People Development:

-          After reading a book/article/magazine... Write a short summary (5 to 10 lines)

-          Do the same after listening to a song/watching a movie/having a conversation

 

Extra activities:

-          Talk with Ivens 3 times in the week

-          Talk with Mariana 1 time in the week

-          Help Kelly in her activities

 

For the next class:

1.       Practice/Rehearse the situations about work

2.       Study Grammar Book:

2.1   Used To: Unit 37

2.2   Plural on nouns - Unit 68

2.3   There is/There are - Units 38 and 39

 

Today

Today I 'm studing Grammar: Used To, unit 37

We use the “used to” for talk about the past, but is about when you did something in the past and don’t do anymore.

Example:

1.       Dave used to work in a factory (Dave worked in a factory in the past but not work now.)

2.       I used to read a lot of books, but I don’t read much these days. (I read a lot of books in the past, but now I don’t read so much.)

The secret Window

Yesterday I watched a movie with my boyfriend. The movie was: The secret window is a thriller based on the book that was written by Stephen King in 2004. Directed by David Koepp with Johnny Deep.

Mort (Johnny Depp) is a successful writer that is in crisis, with a personal conflict after the end of your married, Amy. Mort stay alone in a house close to the river Tashmore. He can’t write anymore and is resting at house. One day a man appears, Jonh Shoother, and he accuses Mort of plagiarism.

Is a great movie. Very curious and wonderful history.    

 

Today I will have my first class with a particular teacher. After that I will talk about my lesson plan.

 

See you.

And until now she think about this dream. She is a lonely girl, doesn’t have many friends. Had one interested fact: She will meet one girl, but this girls died. His father talked about a monsters, she believed in this.

E até hoje ela pensa sobre esse sonho. Ele é uma garota solitária, não tem muitos amigos. Teve um fato interessante: Ela ia conhecer uma garota, mas essa garota morreu.
