Listening

A good way to practice your listen, is to watch a movie what you already know the history, without the subtitles. Today, I'm watching "Holiday", and this movie is great to notice the diferences between the american and the brit way to speak.. I prefer the brit way... to me, sounds more clear. And this movie is so cute! I love it!

Old sister

Fernanda is my old sister. When I born she was 1 and a half years old... We grown up together, and when we were childs, we didn't get along... Fernanda was very evil! Yes, she was! I remember one time when I locked myself at bathroom, because she was trying to hit me! I don't remeber why, probably for nothing... Well, now I'm taller than she, so, she doesn't try to hit anymore. Fernanda felt in love by one friend of mine, André.

There is a english school next to my job, what have a intensive course with four days a week classes. What, if the taxes where not much expensives, could be good to me. When I started to study english, I choose a school with a 90% conversation. What was the best thing to me.
