Who I am? - Cátia

Hello! My name is Cátia Bianchi. I was born during the Scorpio period in 1995, two days after the Halloween.
I'm determined, stubborn, playful, friendly, a little distracted, light-headed but also very responsible.
I am studying science and technology to achieve my dream of going to the Azores to study marine biology.
During my free time I love to go out with my friends, I go to the beach, I like listening to music and also staying at home drawing.
One of my favourite hobbies is swimming. I love the sea and all it has to do with it and also helping as a volunteer in the association of abandoned animals "Viva Animal". It is a unique experience because people can’t even imagine the many animals that are abandoned and need a cuddle.
The most important things in my life are my family that I love, and my friends who are always ready to help me.

I hope you like it… (:

Who I am? - Gonçalo

Hello!
My name is Gonçalo Gomes , I was born in Porto and I’m a 15- year-old boy. I’m a student and when I grow up I want to be a doctor or a biologist or join the army.

My passions are my girlfriend and handball. I love handball, to me it is the most fantastic sport.
When I play handball I don’t feel or think of anything, I just play and enjoy that moment.

In my free time like I play handball, I play computer, listen to music, go out with my friends and watch handball games (I forgot to say, my idols are Florian Khermann anda Stefan Kretzschmar).

I like almost all kinds of music, but my favourites are metal and rock. My favourite bands are Guns and Roses, Metallica, Eminem, Muse, Queen, Pearl Jam, Rolling Stones etc...

I almost forgot, I have a cat named Emilia. She is one of my passions too. I like to play with her but she is a bit mean, so she bites me a lot.

 think that’s everything, so bye I hope you read my assignment :)

*Hello my name is Diana Moreira. I was born in 1995 in the city of Porto. My favourites hobbies are: dancing (ballet), being with friends, swimming, going to the shoppig centre and  I like to ride a horse.

Who am I? - Hugo Cardoso

Hi there! My name is Hugo Cardoso (also known has Lilspect) and I was born on 17^th March 1995 in Massarelos, Oporto. I’m a 15 years old and I’m a student.

When I have a little bit of free time, I usually take a bike ride, our just play computer and surf on the internet. I love computers, and I have used computers since I was 2 and half years old. Honestly, I am a little bit of a nerd, because I spend most of my time on my computer. When I am there, I usually play an online game named World Of Warcraft, check my Facebook and watch some videos on YouTube .

I also have no idea about what I want to be in the future, but I think I still have time to think about it. My “tastes” are a bit weird, because I only like things that are “Old”, I think it’s a disease…I like everything that’s Old, for example, I have restored an old bike from my Mother’s Childhood, I have a large collection of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s Songs (Duran Duran; Falco; Van Halen ,Guns ‘n Roses; Kiss; Prince; Bruce Springsteen; Cyndi Lauper; The Police; Queen; Pink Floyd)

Moving ahead, I have a pet named “Cookie”, which is a guinea pig. She’s so lovely, and when she asks for food she does a weird and cute sound that I just want to grab her and hug her! I also practise swimming, when I am motivated to do it. I think that’s almost everything about me that you should know…

Thanks’ for reading my assignment! (If you really read it) D:

In my free time, I like watching TV, surfing the internet, listening to music and playing with my piano (Ican't really play!), which is my favourite hobby. But the place where I spend more time is in my garage, where I roller blade, watch TV and play ping pong with my brothers.
I hear all kinds of music, it depends on how I feel, but in particular I listen to a lot of Owl City and Paramore.
One day after finishing school, I would like to go on a trip without destination with my friends all over Europe on foot, by car or bike, but no airplane that it may fall.
Hope that with this bit, you'll know a little more of me.

Halloween

Dear students,
if you want to learn more about Halloween and get inspired for our ghost story, watch the video and post your comment.

Halloween ghost story

Dear students,
Halloween is next week and we are celebrating it with our own ghost story. I wrote the beginning and you should continue it according to your imagination. You can start posting comments to continue it, but please follow the rules.
1. Each comment mustn’t have more than 150 words.
2. Each student can comment only two times.
3. Try to keep the initial tone and don’t forget to mention the characters who are already part of the story.
4. You may add new characters, human or not, as long as they fit the story. Don’t forget to describe them.
5. If two of you post almost at the same time, the last entry will be deleted or you can edit it according to the previous post.
6. Don’t write your paragraph directly in the comment box – copy it from a word document previously written.
7. Pay attention to the previous details and don't complicate the story too much.

8. Be creative and have fun!
It was foggy and cold on that dark moonless night. One could hear cats disturbingly crying and screaming as if they were being tortured by shadows. The small village was sleeping, but Dr. Farrow was returning home from Jake’s house. “Why can’t I find a reason for those strange scars on Jake’s body? Where did they come from? They keep appearing from nowhere… And all that agony… The man is in so much pain and I can’t help him” – he thought. Suddenly, a dog started barking furiously and Dr. Farrow got startled in a jump, feeling his heart bumping in his chest. He took some minutes to recover and continued his way home. His house was in the woods just outside the village, and there he lived with his wife and daughter. “Strange… the lights are on” – he thought while opening the door. He couldn’t understand the terrible picture he saw next: Marian and Eve, his wife and daughter, were sitting on the sofa and they didn’t look human. Their faces were very pale covered in purple veins, their eyes were all white and they had a frightening smile. “We were waiting for you, Daddy!” – it wasn’t Eve’s voice anymore, it was the voice of a monster.

"Can you guess who I am? You will be the winner of this challenge if you are the first to post my real name. Good luck!"

Who am I?

Dear students, this is your first assignment: write a short text about your interests, family, friends, school life... I'm looking forward to reading about you. Please, consider the following text about me as a model, but be creative and original as far as possible. You can send me your text through e-mail or show it to me in class to be corrected. You should post your assignment by 30th October.  Have fun!

Hello! My name is JoanaN and I live somewhere near a castle. I was born some months before John Lennon was shot. I've been a teacher for eight years and I love what I do.

In my free time I like going to the seaside for a walk, I play, sing and draw with my son and I read. Reading is one of my favourite hobbies. Last summer I read four books. The best was "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. I can't think of anything better to do than lying in the sun on the beach with a good book.

Like most of you, I also like music. I listen to almost every kind of music depending on the situation. Diana Krall is one of my favourite singers, but I also like U2, Pearl Jam, Coldplay and there are fabulous new Portuguese bands. As a result of two memorable trips to Brazil, I also like Bossa Nova. I usually say that once you go to Brazil, you’ll never be the same. It’s a wonderful country!

Travelling is one of my passions. Saint Augustine said “the World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” and I couldn’t agree more. We really grow when we meet new cultures and new people. In the near future I’d like to visit Paris and Greece.
