Straight Edge On Fox News
People,
That's an example of the social groups we have been talking during our classes.
They have their style, their language, music, behaviour and a specific goal.
I do have a documentary talking about this group, how and where it started.
Although majority of population doesn't know this group exists its important to point it does exist and have their followers. They have their own way to see life and who we should behave to it.
Would you like to be a Straight Edge???

Bullying
Hey Everyone,
Here I am again.
Now to speak about a really serious subject. Bullying.
Many people have been suffering social pression only because a specific behaviour or an appearence element.
Sad things have been done, since tease with bad words to beating situations, just to show useless supremacy.
Nowadays a famous case have been commented all over the world. It's the case of Casey Heynes, a 15-year-old boy from Australia. In Brazil he's been called Zanguief, in regard to a special skill of the character of the Street-Fighter.
The main reason of the importance of this case is that the victim faught the bullying back. After years of suffering the victim didn't stay passive waiting, but he got his agressor and taught him a lesson.
Here - http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/article/8226524/net-bullying-victim - you find an interview with Casey, where he tell his difficulties with bullying.
Have you even seen a bullying situation before?
That's all people
See you in class.

The High Kings, Rocky Road to Dublin
Happy Saint Patrick's Day every one!!!!
Dubliners – Rocky Road to Dublin[1]
While in the merry month of May from me home I started, Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted, Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother, Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I as born, Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins; Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary, Started by daylight next morning blithe and early, Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking; Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking. See the lassies smile, laughing all the while. At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubbling. Asked me was I hired, wages I required, I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be soon deprived a view of that fine city. So then I took a stroll, all among the quality; Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality. Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind, No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobbling. Enquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.

From there I got away, me spirits never falling, Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing. The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he; When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy. Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling; When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead, Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !
Well the boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed, Called me self a fool, I could no longer stand it. Blood began to boil, temper I was losing; Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing. "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly. Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in, With a load "hurray !" joined in the affray. We quitely cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down
the rocky road and all the way to Dublin,
Whack follol de rah !

"Mario" - SXSW 2011 Film Bumper
Hello Everyone,
I was surfing on Facebook and a friend of mine posted a movie's trailes called "Mario".
Yeah, "Mario", the same game created by Nintendo. The game majority of us played during childhood and some of us still playing nowadays.
The trailer brings a bit of the magic of Mario's world, with all the characters we used to see in the game.
There are Peach, Luigi, Koopa, Turtles, Golden boxes, Mushrooms and etc. Mario's image is built as a loser that cannot get his princess back and start to have alucinacions over it. After the alucinations, he became a junker on the streets fighting against things that doesn't exist.
I didn't watch it, but I'll love to do so. I played so many times the game (my son still does) that I do understand every comment made in the trailer. It make me fell as a nerd. hehe
What about you? What do you thing about the trailer? Would you like to watch it?
Take care people!!!
See you in class.

Sometimes is difficult to learn a new language. Mainly when we do not have where to find written or spoken materials in this language. But things changed nowadays, mainly after the internet invention. And a good prove of that is the number of websites. On websites you can find all kind of news from almost all places in the world. It happens because people want to make their voice heard all over the place. Doesn´t matter if it is for a good or bad reason. Anyway, fortunately now we have the opportunity to get news from all places at the same time and with this improve our learning of a foreign language.
To help you with this task with english I´m posting now some websites I usually go for news and useful information.
Here they are:
- Independent media center
- Independent media center Brasil
- Hindu Times
- The Sunday Times
- The New York Times
