Enjoy!

Dear students,
I´m glad to send you something to improve your English!
Below is something we´re using at classes to help your vocabulary.
I hope you enjoy it too!
And send me some questions and doubts that you have, or will have during the classes, curiosities and any interesting things.
Best wishes, Teacher Luciana.
Curiosities:
batata-palha = shoestring potatoes - for any doubts about potatoes you´ll find it on: www.potatoes.com! They love potatoes! how to prepare them: http://www.faqs.org/docs/consumer/recipes/shoestring-potatoes.html
http://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--38181/shoestring-potato.asp
Butt = (slang) Bottom - TAKE CARE THIS IS A BAD WORD!!! For example: "She told him to get off his butt and do something useful!"
Sites consultados: www.freesearch.co.uk and http://www.sk.com.br/forum/display_message.php?message_id=32853
Activity:
On a date: BLIND DATE
Vocabulary:
Blind date: kind of meeting with someone you don´t know in person yet;
To boast of - vangloriar-se;
Apathy - apatia;
To chat - conversar (de qualquer forma)
Date - encontro;
Enthusiasm - the same meaning in portuguese;
Karaoke bar - the same meaning in portuguese;

Two Blind dates
What do you think will be more successful?
1- Kathy and Ron
K: - So, I was thinking we could start off with drinks at the Four Seasons.
R: - Sure, Whatever.
K: - And then have dinner at Cafeteria, or maybe the Union Square Café?
R: - Either way. It doesn´t matter.
2- Sue and Derek
D: - So, I was thinking we could start off with drinks at the new bar on the corner.S: - That sounds great!
D: - And then there are free Salsa lessons at Club Tropical. What do you think?
S: Cool! That sounds fun!
Questions:
A. Explain why do you think they will be successful? (the dialogue you choose)
B. What words these two couple had been used to express friendly and unfriendly each other ? Share them.
Explanation:
To show some enthusiasm you can use:
* Great!
* Excellent!
* Awesome!
* Cool!
To show that you don´t care use:
* That sounds fine. / okay.
* Whatever.
* I don´t really care!
* it doesn´t matter.
The last two sentences is more heavy and can offend the other person.
Exercises:
Chose the best answer for the dialogue:
A. Your blind date is twenty years old than you. You like younger men/women. He suggests going to the yacht club for drinks. You probably say:
1- Cool!
2- That sounds fine.
B. Your date suggests going to a karaoke bar. Singing is your passion! You probably say:
1- Awesome!
2 - I don´t really care!
C. your date suggests two restaurants you don´t really like. You say:
1- That sounds great!
2- Either way. it doesn´t matter.
D. Your date can´t stop talking about herself. You are very bored. So when she suggests going to a quiet place to chat, You probably say:
1- Excellent!
2- Whatever.
E. Your date is your dream man/woman: handsome, intelligent, funny and you have the same taste in music. So when he asks you if you want to go to a concert next week, you say:
1- That sounds fun!
2- Whatever.

Para você não ter desculpa para estudar inglês!
Queridos alunos!
Estou criando esse blog para facilitar a vida de vocês, assim podemos compartilhar dúvidas e conhecimentos que surgem durante as aulas e, quando estamos estudando fora da escola. Ou então, nessas idas e vindas da vida, onde nos deparamos com situações, cujo inglês torna-se a única saída.
Não sei ainda como vai estar meu tempo para lhes dizer qual será a periodicidade com que acrescentarei novas informações aqui para vocês. Mas certamente me certificarei de suas respostas e comentários com frequencia e, vai me trazer muita alegria, ver que você está participando desta página.
Esta primeira página será em português, as outras todas em inglês! E as regras são as seguintes:
* Todas as explicações serão em inglês, salvo se eu julgar importante fazê-lo em português.
* Mandarei sempre tudo o que postar aqui, por email também.
* Sempre que quiser fazer um comentário, ou sugestão, ou correção, ou qualquer outra dúvida a respeito das aulas, matérias e postagens, poderá fazê-lo da forma que achar melhor, por email ou pelo próprio blog clicando em COMENTÁRIOS, ou ainda trazendo durante as aulas, mensagem no msn, no skype, no celular... o que você achar melhor! O importante é você estudar, se interessar pelo inglês e curtir se comunicar em inglês!
Espero que você goste e use esta ferramenta!
Um grande abraço,
Teacher Luciana.
