To all of you my dear students, I would like to wish the happiest of all Easters. I wish you renew your faith in God and your hopes for a better life amongst the ones you love. And how about you? What does Easter mean to you? What are your expectations? Please leave your messages to your classmates or comment on these questions.
Best wishes José Antônio

Hi dear students,
This is a place for you to ask questions you have about anything concerning homework or any other class assignments or even any other subject related to English.

Hi Guys, Welcome to our blog page. This is a place for us to exchange ideas and communicate when we are not in class. I would love to see your comments on anything you want on this page.
This class we will be talking about friends and other important people. How about writing a little about your best friend or a family member you like very much. All the best

Hi everyone, Welcome to our page on the Internet. First let me say I loved being your teacher. This is such a nice group. This is place where we are going to learn some English. Here we can write what we want and read what other people wrote. Isn’t this a good idea? What do you think?
Let’s start talking about your best friend or your favorite person in your family. We do it like we did in class to describe Great and her brother Sean. Good luck

Dear Inside out 3B’s
Welcome to my blog. To begin with let me know about what you like to watch on TV. Something I have watched and really liked was The 4400. How about you? Have you seen it? What is your favorite show? Why do you like it?
Also help me choose a title for this section of this blog. What name do you suggest?

In this first meeting we were talking about breakfast and snacks. We sure got hungry, didn’t we? Like I told you, I usually have milk with cereal and coffee for breakfast. And you, what do you usually have for breakfast? You can also talk about your family members’ breakfast habits if you want to. What about going to restaurants? Where do you usually go? What do you usually have? I myself, go to nu céu sometimes. I usually have pizza. And you?

Hi Saturday crew. This is our blog page. The idea is experimenting and playing with it. Blogging is a good way of developing your reading and writing abilities. I am inviting you to share your views on any topic you want. I was checking what we are going to study and in this first Saturday and saw that we will be talking about breakfast and food in general. So how about dropping a line about this topic? If you need help you can ask me or access a good online dictionary to help you write what you want. You can also write in Portuguese if you really don’t know. The idea is writing, reading, and learning.
Best regards José Antônio

Speech class is an activity designed to you to read and talk about what you have read. We are supposed to have one at each two weeks or at least once a month. Which do you prefer? For this activity you are supposed to read as many stories or articles as possible and choose one to present to your classmates. You are going to talk about what you have read in a group of 3 or 4 students. Everybody in the group is going to do the same. At the end, the group will choose someone to present his/her reading to the rest of the class. The articles can be from any source. You can find articles on the Internet in Speak Up Magazine , Reader's Digest or any other source you want. You can also try Newsweek or even talk about something you on TV in English.

Dear T. Flexers, I am here to invite you to blog with me. Blogging is a little similar to a virtual diary. This is a space for us to be in contact when we are not in class. Some things you can do here are, for example, to place a comment about something you liked or did not like about the class. It can also be about something you have read, heard or learned. Another thing you can do is comment on what I or somebody else has written. In our first unit we are talking about some subjects like traveling and sports. How about starting sharing some ideas on this topic? Or how about saying what you think of the idea of blogging? If you have ever blogged, and so on. Let’s see how it goes. All the best
José Antônio
