He is Alive!!!
Hi Alex, and hi my friends.
Oh Gee!!! I´m so glad that you´re feeling much better now, and I heaved a sigh of relief when I read that you weren´t mad with me, and at least you´re alive and of course, there´s a good side in this story, I helped you to become a wiser man, sad, but wise, as a perfect philosopher [;-) ]. However, as Wim from the Netherlands wrote, I also think that your illness is related to the egg-rolling thing, and not to chee... oh... never mind! I told you that we´d never agree about this issue, and it was your idea try something that I´m not sure yet, if it was really chee... Oh Lord, my head is spinning around, where is my Bach floral?... Mum... Ah... That´s ok, it´s here.
I have to confess that just like my "sister", I have some little problems with prepositions, I completed the sentences, I hope they are correct:
1- Ana Paula was waiting anxiously for a message "from" her dear teacher.
2- Her finger was glued "in" her computer screen.
3- Soon she fell "on" a catatonic state.
4- We hope she recovers "from" this catatonic state very soon.
Alex, in your today´s blog, you told that you lived in Poland. Could you tell us a little bit about your experiences there? Did you have problems with food adaptation? Did you enjoy the time that you lived there?
Ah! My sister also say hello to you, and she´s also saying that you have a wonderful taste for music. Rosana, just like you Alex, loves country music. Oh!
and about her English, it´s a brand new method called English Osmosis. Maybe I should try, what do you think? [:-) ]
In my previous blog "Soap Opera", I think I was a little bit partial, when I wrote about this theme. So, I must apologise with you. In fact, the quality of Brazilian Soap Operas are decreasing during the years. As Adriana and Monica pointed out, for sure we must watch them with a critical point of view. I prefer turn it off the TV and read a good book or turn it on my computer in order to learn English at BBC LE. Once I don´t have a cable TV , so I don´t have many choices of TV programs to watch it. Actually, I think I´m not losing anything, it´s quite hard find a good program to watch nowadays, insn´t it?
Thank you for all who commented on my blog. I enjoyed indeed to read your comments. Just like our teacher, I´m much better now, and I´m relieved, due he doesn´t have any hard feelings about me. More than a wise man, he is also a kindhearted man.
I have to go now, I´m late to my FCE course.
Good night,
Ana Paula.

hi Anna, I'm happy to return on your blog.So, I heaved a sigh of relief, too.I think you have finished to fight about cheess and fudge anymore after your unsavoury experince.It is the best for you. I have to confess to have a little problem preposition.But, I deal with these problems while reading every day. Best wishes
Good to hear Ana Paula that you are better now. Isn´t it amazing that you and Alex fell ill at the same time. We were relieved that you have a sister, who was able to stand in your place during your absence. Let us hope that Alex will recover soon also. And we must not mention… you know what any more! Regards to everyone, please remember to stick to your own diets.
Hi Ana Paula, I am happy to see you are recovered. Do not be worried about not having the “cable”, you do not loose anything very important. When I arrived to Belgium I was like a child in front of all these TV channels. There were a little more than twenty, while in Spain I could only see one and a half. At the beginning I used to spend hours watching TV, fortunately little by little I understood I was wasting my time. Today I watch TV from time to time and I read a lot. Of course I spent more time on the computer but at least I learn things, English by the way and get to “know” interesting people. Concerning prepositions I totally agree with Adriana, they are my nightmare too!
I am very happy for you.Now you can let youself off the hook which you have been burdened by Alex's illness.I guess you have learnt from the experience how fusy our gorgeous teacher is.ps:would you say "hello"to your sister and give your mum a bunch of flowers on the behalf of me which she is deserved.Keep up the good work and enjoy the lesson!
Hi Ana Paula, it's about twenty years ago that I first heard of Brasilian telenovelas. I watched eagerly "The Slave Isaura" and a story about a girl (I cann't remember her name) and her friend, Adriano. But she was forced to marry Adriano's father. Do you know these telenovelas? However, these were the only ones I have ever watched and I don't know, if I were so enthusiastic by them by now. As with the prepositions, I only can agree with you! Best wishes, Andrea
