So long, my friends!

Dear Alex, and dear all,



Hahahaha!!!! Sorry, but I can help myself. I was imagining you at the bus having a fit of laugher. Hahaha!!! Ok... hmmm, hmmm, it´s not funny. Actually I didn´t know about this public transportation 'rule' in London. Here in Brazil, the public transportation is crowd and noisy, people talk to each other, sing, shout, evangelise other people, anyway... it´s really crazy. I think would be a great idea if we had some similar rule here in Brazil.


I have an embarrissing experience related to books too. However, I think mine is more painful. Differently of you Alex, I go to work walking, due I live near my job. In only 5 minutes I get there, and I know the way to my work by heart, yes, I know it very well. So, ok... ok, that´s can sound a little bit weird, but I have the habit to read while I´m walking. I don´t have to take any bus, I live near my job, but I don´t want to leave the book that I´m reading at home, and in 5 minutes I can read at least five pages of it. Oh... in that time I was reading The Magic Moutain, by Thomas Mann, which was very hard to put it down, in everywhere I went, I was with it, and then, in a sunny day of October, I didn´t count with a big hole that appeared on the sidewalk, which I only noticed when I was fallen on the floor like ripe tomato. Yes, I fell, and it hurt. However, the hard thing my dear friends, it wasn´t to fall, the hardest thing was to stand up and face the people who passed by on the street.

After all, I looked at the book, and threre wasn´t any demage in it, only my knees were aching, so I started to laugh alone, it was quite funny. Despite this happenings, I didn´t change my habit, I still continue reading while I walk, but now there is a slight difference: I pay more attention on the sidewalks. [ ;-) ]

Today you gave me really, really nasty questions for answering. I guess it´s my good bye pressie. Let´s go!

' Just like you, I love coffe and books ( of course films are among them), actually I think they make a perfect partnership, though I´ve never read a book sat at a café beside a river.'

' You mentioned my poetic mood in your blog, in fact, I felt like this because yesterday I read an article about a new temporary exhibition at Língua Portuguesa Museum, which is inspired by Clarice Lispector works.'

I´ll be waiting for the right answers in your next blog.


Now, it´s time to say good bye, and also to say thank you for all of you who made my student blog month so amazing!!!

Hey Alex! Thank you very much for the nasty questions and the bad jokes ( they aren´t so bad!). You are a great and kind teacher, oh... I won´t forget to mention that there isn´t doubt that you are a strikingly handsome man. You made my learning English adventure richer and funnier.

One more thing before I go. Paul, do you think that could be possible in the future we download the teacher blog page? You know, there is a excelent material for studying there, and it would be great if we could download the page.
