MERRY CHRISTMAS!


MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!
I wish the peace and light of this season may last in your hearts all through the year...

BUYING CHRISTMAS...

CHRISTMAS....
It's a time of love, peace, reunion, forgiveness, dreams and hopes... People say that it is a time TO GIVE and TO RECEIVE!... I think it is a time to share, but not only gifts... It's time to be with an open heart with the ones we love and to give something to the ones who need... We shouldn't buy Christmas... We should have it in our hearts when we walk in the world...

FREEDOM


Young people keep telling me that they are not completely happy because they don't have FREEDOM... They say that they have almost everything they want: parents who love them, friends, some money, mobile phone, nice clothes, MP3, computer, girlfriends or boyfriends... BUT... They say that they can't do everything: they can't go out everytime they want, they can't buy everything they wish, etc... So, they feel miserable because they can't be FREE! "I just want to be free!"... Is this what you feel too? Why can't there be complete, absolute freedom? What is freedom, anyway?...

DEAR STUDENT,

Education nowadays is the best passport to have a better future!

We have the privilege of studying and working in a lovely place like this one in the picture (Escola Secundária de Lousada) which offers a variety of opportunities to students and tries to invest in the preparation of young people in a wide range of areas... This blog is an example of the effort of investment in the new technologies and in the language of science and communication- the English language! Many scientists, politicians, engineers, doctors, journalists, writers, professors, businessmen and many others need to use this language in their everyday activities. So, keep up with the modern world and study a lot in order to be prepared to face new challenges one day in your future career and give your contribution to society!...


Hello everybody! I want to leave a suggestion for debate today: "IS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IMPORTANT NOWADAYS?" Think about this and write your opinion... You study English at school, don't you? So, why is it important to be able to communicate in English? Do you remember any examples in the modern world of work and communication in which you consider English a useful tool?... Leave your opinion and...Keep studying and enjoying yourself!
