Dear Classmates

Hello guys. This is my first post here. I found a website that reports in English can help us.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/portuguese/noticias/2013/03/130328_aprenda_cidade_iluminada.shtml

I share you an excerpt from the report:

A study this week has found that Hong Kong is one of the worst offenders in the world for light pollution. Parts of the territory have been registered as 1,200 times brighter than a normal dark sky. Researchers say light pollution can affect health.

This is the Central District and it's 11 o'clock at night time, but if I put on my sunglasses it wouldn't be too dark at all and that's because there are lights everywhere. There's a neon sign across the street at an old antique shop. It's closed but there are one, two, three signs lit up and it's the same thing all down the street.

I think the website very interesting with news that help training our English. I hope you enjoyed. 

Bad Grammar? =D

In the USA there are some expressions, usually related to publicity or Ads, where questions are made in a short, compact way, like "Got Milk?", "Got faith?" or "Got Love?".
Those expressions are not grammatically correct, since they lack a "who" or a "what" in the sentence.
The charge above is making fun of an old lady who was caught making a graffiti to correct the grammar of the question with "Do you have any... "
I wanted to share because it has a lot in common with some things we're studying in our English classes (both Grammar/Oral and Reading/Writing).

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I finally got into the blog !!!!!

"Music" was the last class' theme :

This is an american folk band, Bon Iver <3
I love it, I love folk, I love the vocalist, Justin Vernon.

And to you:

 
 Bon Iver - Towers <3

Don't forget to watch the ad on "the worst job of the world"!

•What kinds of jobs are being announced?

•What are the working duties?

•How about the salary?

•What is the job like?

•What is the working environment like? And the boss and the work-mates?

•What is the most important skill required?

•What do you need to hand in to apply?

•Why are blondes encouraged to apply?

I have found this one on facebook, thought it would be nice to share! =D

Honest Trailers

I recently discovered this YouTube channel called "screenjunkies" and I thought that you guys might like and laugh with the videos as much as I do (maybe you have already heard of it or seen it but still).

If you haven't heard of it, here's a piece of the channel's description: "Where guys go to get honest and authoritative advice on what movies and TV shows they should watch an which ones aren't worth the time (...)"

http://www.youtube.com/user/screenjunkies

The videos that I'm particularly a fan of are the "Honest Trailers" series, in which they redo trailers of famous movies, making a sort of parody. They try to show you the movie story form a "honest" point of view, presenting them as they really are by sarcastically showing issues with the plot, the direction and a list of other flaws on the screenplay, scripts, casting, etc. 

It's a fun and very interesting thing to watch "Honest Trailers" because sometimes they make you notice some crazy facts that you never really thought about while watching that movie by yourself.

Here are some of the most viewed and some of my favorite Honest Trailers:

The Hunger Games

Avatar

Transformers

The Avengers

The Dark Knight Rises 

Titanic

At the channel you will find many more!!

AND ALSO the videos have the option for you to watch them with English subtitles. Cool, right?!

But before you watch any of these videos I have to warn you that there might be spoilers, so maybe you should just watch the trailers from movies that you have already seen, ok?

I really hope you guys enjoy the videos and be like 

Bye, guys :)
