Forever my blog!

I love my new blog!

I know I don’t come to my blog in quite a while… That doesn’t mean iIm bored about it, I was in France! Well, i will tell you more about it in my next post.

This blog did give me many new friends, good friends, but it has also changed my life. Now I can understand other people better, and I’ve learned a lot of new English, after writing so much!

Having a personal blog is much better than having to share your blog with 60 other people! Now I have the freedom of giving my blog its own personal touch. I can finaly shape it the way I want it and write as much as I want!

It is good to know that what we are writing is not for ourselves, its for all the world to read and comment! And that means a lot to me, because I am a little bit shy, and like that I don’t have to speak, so its easier for me to share ideas and thoughts.

I also think that, by having a personal blog, its easier for other people to contact me and write comments.

I did’nt write this post to get the subscription, I did it because I want to finish the challenge.

Studying… Boring or fun?

First of all, to study you need to have concentration and space (like in your room). I have tips for both auditive (you hear a voice in your head when studying) and visuals (you see what you’ve studied in your head):

• Auditives:
  

Read what you need to know, one time. Then try to say it without looking; if you cant read again. Try to say it again. If you cant keep doing this over and over again until you’ve memorized everything. It looks boring but it can be fun, see it like a game!

• Visuals:
  

Read what you need to know, one time. Make like a “mini-test” with questions that you think that can be on the test. Go to a quiet place and make the test ,quietly while you cronometrate the time. When you finish the test see how long you took to do it and see the answers in the book. If it is bad do it again. Has I said before, it looks boring, but if you make it a game it will be fun!

My class

This week (from 9th to 13th  February), as you may know, it’s the week of kindness. Today (friday, the thirteenth) is not about terror and fright. It’s about kindness to your colleagues! And that’s why i am going to write something nice about them:

I love my class and I would’nt change classes for anything in this world. Ok, maybe for one thing… My best friend, Filipa is in a different class, wich is very bad for our friendship, but we can live with that!

My class is the best class (for me), and lots of teachers say the same as I do. Here are some reasons that i like this class so much:

• Almost everyone is nice;
  
• I have a lot of friends in this class and we’re all very united;
  
• We are the smartest class (we have better results) and I think that’s important;
  
• We allways find a way of having fun in classes and still learn;
  
• Our teachers are both good and kind.

Of course, I could say much more, but then I would be writing all day! Now its your turn to write something kind about your class!

My favourite teacher: “Inpi”

My favourite teacher is Inês, also known has “Inpi”. She’s my Portuguese teacher.  I like her for lots of reasons:

1. She is very kind to all of her students (most of the time);
2. Once a week, she tells us a part of the “Hobbit” book, and no other teacher does anything similar;
   
3. She is the one that had the idea of creating a class blog and told us about the stubc08 competition;
   
4. We share some interests, wich i think its very good;
   
5. There are lots of other things, but i cant remember what right now… If i remember i’ll add it here, in this post.

And now i will leave some questions that i wish that were answered:

• Have you got a favourite teacher? Who?
  
• Describe him/her in two words.
  
• Did he/she ever do something that you really liked?
  
• Say something else nice about that teacher.

This post is an answer to Be a friend:

What I Think of a Friend

I have got one best friend only, my BEST FRIEND FOREVER! Her name is Filipa and she is generous, smart, good listener, good talker and much more, but this is what I think that describes her better and the qualities that I like more about her.

She is everything I want in a friend!

• I like my friends to be generous, because they can share, and that is a very important quality.
• I like my friends to be smart, so we can talk and we can both understand each other.
• I like my friends to be good listeners, so they can hear me if I have any problem that needs help.
• I like my friends to be good talkers, so I can help them when they have any problem and also so we can talk (or write) – that’s one of the things I like more to do with my friends.
• Other things I like to do with my friends are: play multiple games – hide and seek for one – and most of all have fun our way!

Inside my room

This might look strange but my favourite place is my room. In my room I can do whatever I want and whatever I feel like doing and no one knows. I do everything here: computer; listening to music, hanging out with my friends, sleep, play, sing and much more. Its MY place. I like to share my room with my closest friends and I like to be here alone too.

And another thing that made me choose my room as a favourite place is the safety! I feel like no one can hurt me and I’m completely protected by a strange force that surrounds me. Its wonderful! I’m in my room right now, writing this and i feel great. This special atmosphere makes me want to write more and more and don’t leave the computer!

I have a few questions that you can answer by writing a comment:

• How is your room: colour, furniture, etc;
• What do you like to do in your room?
• Is your room your favourite place? Why?

Ok, so I’ll leave this questions for you to answer. Hope you liked it!
