In the first immersion I couldn't go because it was my birthday and I had that to make my little party! How for signal it was very good! But in the second immersion I went and used to advantage very. We made many tricks with the staff of ' ' Welcome' ' beyond knowing a little more than the Spanish culture. The Spanish staff served its typical foods and drinks, and to say to the truth ''guacamole'' it is very good! At last I liked everything, I arrived lightly in tired house…


The workshop of the Maria das Graças Miranda was on the education of the English since the start of the times until today. It showed in them as they were the methods and books and as she was worked the grammar. She was possible to also compare the way that the lessons were given since the grammar use was only emphasized. With it I could observe as much that education English learning improved, as the use of pronounces, to write texts, to hear other types of spikers. At last he was all excellent one!


In the lesson of the teacher Nilce Maria we saw on the use of the technology in classroom. With it, I learned on ténica of use of the computer to my favor and as facilitador of interaction with the pupils since the funny society enm Internet lathe and the children already are born in contact with it. It still said on the use of sites and videos of youtube with other purposes beyond the entertainment. I loved! They had been two days of lecture with many tips that I go to use with my pupils.

The teacher Luciana Colucci gave us lessons about the interaction of teachers and students. In your class, she passed the film The Imperor's Club where William Hundert is a teacher of the St. Benedict' s, very exclusive a preparatory school for youngsters who receive as pupils the cream from the American society. There Hundert of the lessons of moral to be learned, through the study of Greek and Roman philosophers. Hundert is gotten passionate by speaking for its pupils who " the character of a man is its destino" e if strengthens to impress them on the importance of a correct attitude. Suddenly something disturbs this routine with the arrival of Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch), the son of an influential senator. Sedgewick enters in shock with the positions of Hundert, that questions the importance of what it is taught. But, although this revolt, Hundert consider well intelligent Sedgewick and find that it can place it in the certain way, arriving exactly to place it in the end Mr. Julio Cesar, a competition on Old Rome. But Sedgewick trai this confidence arranging a skill of trapacear. The film is a moral lesson and very good! I learned a lot!

The Beatriz Pucci's workshop was very interesting. She ordered we to make an exercise with some grammatical structure. I decided to speak on Simple present and Simple past. For this I chose a text that has the two structures and exercises to differentiate. First, read the text!

Burger Queen

She's 109 years old, and she only eats junk food.

Yesterday was Mary Alston's birthday. She is 109 years old, and she is the oldest person in the world. And she only eats junk food. Mrs. Alston had a party with six generations of her family. Her daughter, Jenny Morgan, who is 85, said, "My mother loves chocolate, and eats only popcorn, pizzas, and burgers. She never eats fresh food. She says she doesn't like it." Mrs. Alston lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was born on a farm in Pennsylvania, and worked as a teacher. In 1915 she married James Henry Alston. He died in 1983. Her granddaughter, Annie, who is 65, said, "Grandma gets up every day at six o'clock, and goes to the hairdresser every Friday." Annie asked her grandmother what she wanted to eat on her birthday. Mary said, "I'd like a cheeseburger and fries!"

Questions:

1. When was Mary Alston's birthday?
2. Did she have a party?
3. Does she eat fresh food?

4. What did she eat?
5. What was her job?

6. Where was she born?

7. When did she marry?

8. What time does she get up?

9. Where does she go every Friday?

10. Give two verbs in simple present.

11. Give me two verbs in simple past.

And now I go to explain on the verbal times:
Use the present simple for things that are gerelly true or habitually happen.

To make negatives use don't / doesn't + the infinitive.
E.g.:
I work / play / live
I watch / finish / go / do

I study
He works / plays / lives
She watches / finishes / goes / does

She studies

Attention:
I have He has, not he haves
Past simple

Use the past simple for finished actions.

Regular verbs in the past it adds ''ed'' .
E.g. worked, lived, played.

The past is the same for all persons.

Use did / didn't + infinitive for past interrogative and negative.

And that is it!
