Arquipélago Abrolhos

Brazil’s first national marine park, this is another protected region in the south of Bahia, which was visited by Charles Darwin in 1832. It is preserved because of its clear waters, beautiful corals and diverse marine life. It’s not permitted to stay on any of the park’s five islands, so the only approach is by boat.


Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul

This place proves you don’t need the sea to go diving. It’s a popular tourist spot, because of the network of rivers and caves there. These contain lakes where you can scuba, many of which are unexplored.

Hi guys! It’s time for our movie-phrase of the week. Actually, I though we should learn two phrases today (both from the same movie, of course). So, this time I picked a Disney Channel Movie: JUMP IN!

In this movie, Izzy Daniels, a star boxer, is challenged by his friend Mary to join her double-dutch (a sport in which one or more people jumping simultaneously with two ropes) team. He agrees to be part of their team, as long as they practice where no one’s going to watch. Tammy, a girl boxer, watches him practicing. When Izzy finds out, he tells her he wants to “keep it on the DL”.

“The Down Low” or “DL” or “on the DL” is an urban phrase used in the United States for “secret information,” as in “Keep it on the down-low” (meaning “Do not make it known”). It can be used between two people, as in “let’s keep this between the two of us.” More commonly, however, it is used in a group context – as in to hide information from a public, authoritative, management, or establishment group by those that are considered “trustworthy,” “on the inside,” or “in the know.”

So, moving on to the next phrase, Izzy and his time –the hot chili stepper – go to the city finals. While they watch other teams performing their routines, he starts feeling a bit nervous. “Why are you sweating other teams?” one of his teammates asks him.

“To sweat (something)” it’s an informal way to say “to worry about something”. In other words, the question was “Why are you worrying about other teams? (Our team is the best)”.

Grupo para professores de inglês

O grupo “Troca de Atividades de Inglês” me ajudou muito, inscrevi-me há pouco mais de um ano e nesse período passei de membro a moderadora e de moderadora a dona do grupo. O grupo foi criado por Dagui há alguns anos e como ela tem outros projetos decidiu passá-lo para mim.

Como funciona o grupo

Somos centenas de membros, todos professores de inglês e trocamos os trabalhos que preparamos e usamos em sala com nossos alunos, com o objetivo de otimizar seu aprendizado. Os trabalhos têm que ter um objetivo porque não entendo uma apostila que não o tenha. Deve ser enviado pelo autor e quando isso não for possível, com a autorização dele e sempre citando a fonte.

Escola de produção de apostilas

Além de trocarmos apostilas aprendemos novas técnicas para apresentá-las, criá-las e desenhá-las. Enquanto trocamos vamos nos aperfeiçoando ao aproveitar ideias de atividades e exercícios que podem ser usados no sentido de praticar ou ensinar os mais variados tópicos de gramática, vocabulário, fonética, etc.

Como participar

Para participar basta visitar o link do grupo (que você vai encontrar no rodapé deste blog) e solicitar sua participação. Certifique-se de inscrever um email do Gmail, que funciona melhor nos Grupos Google e dá total acesso a todas as páginas dos grupos. Preencha corretamente sua inscrição e aguarde até que ela seja aprovada. Para saber as regras do grupo e obter ajuda acesse o blog de apoio: Troca de Atividades de Inglês.

Além do Grupo no Google, também temos uma comunidade no Orkut e um grupo de troca de ideias no Facebook. Todos os links estão também no blog de apoio.

Caso você seja professor de inglês e esteja interessado, leia as regras no blog de apoio do grupo e junte-se a nós!

Obama in Brazil

Amid revolution in the Middle East and disaster in Japan, President Obama says job creation at home remains his primary responsibility. That's one reason he's arriving in Brazil as the first stop in a three-country Latin America tour, Obama said Saturday morning in his weekly address. “Latin America is a part of the world where the economy is growing very quickly. And as these markets grow, so does their demand for goods and services,” Obama said. “The question is, where are those goods and services going to come from? As president, I want to make sure these products are made in America.” The president's trip will take him from Brazil to Chile to El Salvador and back next Wednesday. While building relationships with key allies, he'll also be seeking to expand markets for American goods and services. “What is clear is that in an increasingly global economy, our partnership with these nations is only going to become more vital. For it's a source of growth and prosperity -- and not just for the people of Latin America, but for the American people as well.”

Activity: Bullying

Eminem wins bully lyrics case (Sun 17 Apr, 2005)
BNE: The American rap star Eminem has won a court case brought against him by an old school bully. The bully, DeAngelo Bailey, sued Eminem for $1 million because of the lyrics in a song called “Brain Damage”. He said the words in the song damaged his name and hurt his dream of becoming a rock star. The lyrics said Eminem “was harassed daily by this fat kid named D’Angelo Bailey”. In the song, Eminem raps about Mr Bailey bullying him: “so everyday he’d shove me in the lockers/One day he came in the bathroom…/And had me in the position to beat me into submission/He banged my head against the urinal ‘til he broke my nose,/Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat”. Bailey said he did bully Eminem, but only with a “bump” or “little shove”. He said the actions in the song were not true. The court judges decided the lyrics did not show Mr Bailey in a false light. They said the important thing in this case was that Mr Bailey bullied Eminem, not how truthful the lyrics were.

Anne Frank

Anne Frank was born in 1929 in Frankfurt am Main in Germany. In 1933, the anti-Jewish National Socialist Party led by Hitler comes to power. Anne Frank's Jewish parents Edith and Otto Frank perceive that there is no future in Germany for themselves and their children. They flee to the Netherlands in 1933. Anne is then four years old. Until she is eleven she grows up without a care in a relatively safer Holland. In 1940, the Netherlands is occupied by Germany and the protection that Holland provides comes to an end.
Anne's life is increasingly restricted by the anti-Jewish Decrees. Beginning in 1942, the first Jews receive call-up notices to report for the so-called “work” camp Westerbork. Refusal can result in being sent to a prison camp. The majority of Jews obey the call-up to report for the “work” camps. Fleeing the Netherlands is almost impossible because neighboring countries are also occupied.
To avoid deportation, Jews must arrange a hiding place with non-Jews. Such hiding places are difficult to find, but Anne's parents see the possibility of going into hiding in the annex of the building that houses Otto's business.
Otto and Edith Frank protect Anne from the danger that threatens them for as long as possible. Only a few days before going into hiding, Anne's father tells her that they are not going to a camp but are going to hide from the Germans.
On July 6, 1942, the family goes into hiding. Even though Anne sees hiding as an exciting adventure in the beginning, soon enough the hiding place becomes too small for her restless character. For more than two years Anne Frank describes her daily life in hiding in writing.
On August 4, 1944, the Secret Annex is raided by the Grüne Polizei (Security Police). Anne Frank and the seven others in hiding are arrested. What follows are long journeys to concentration camps in Holland, Poland, and Germany. Of all those in hiding, only Otto Frank survives the camps.
The eight residents of the Secret Annex are transported to Auschwitz on the last train leaving the transit camp Westerbork. After a month at Auschwitz, Anne Frank and her sister Margot are transported to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where thousands of people are dying of hunger and sickness everyday. Margot and Anne both contract typhus and die within a short time of each other in March 1945, only a few weeks before the liberation.
