My last holiday
I went to the beach with my boyfriend last holiday.
It was supposed to be a romantic trip but, to my disappointment,
the hotel we chose wasn’t what it seemed to be on the internet or
perhaps I was expecting too much.
The good thing is that there was a nice Italian restaurant there.
The hostess sat us at a table by the window from where we could see the
beach and the moon. She suggested we should order something from the Blog Files
seafood menu. We chose lobster and it was delicious. January (3)

My ancestors
My ancestors were from Lombardia, a region in the north of Italy.
My paternal great-grandfather arrived in Brazil when he was eighteen years
old. He came alone after his parents and his only brother died due to a fever that
killed many people in their town. During his trip to our country, he met my great-
grandmother and they got married after six months.
They had five children, four daughters and one son my grandfather.
My paternal grandmother came on a trip to Brazil and fell in love with my
grandfather. After she went back, they started writing letters to each other and
decided they wanted to get married, what they really did when my grandfather went
to Italy. Three months after the marriage, they moved to Brazil, where they had two
sons.
When my father and my uncle were already in college, my grandparents decided
to move back to Lombardia. My father and my uncle stayed here. After graduating,
my father spent six months backpacking through Europe. In France, he met a
beautiful Brazilian-Italian girl. They got married after five years and had two children
me and my sister.

My hometown
My hometown is a rich, and relatively big, city located in the southeast of Brazil.
It has about one million inhabitants, many industries, a strong commerce and
one of the best universities in our country.
One good thing about living in a city like my hometown is that you have access
to all the facilities of a big city, whilst some neighborhoods still offer that slower
and more relaxed pace of life typical of small towns. It’s still possible to see children
walking to school or playing with friends on the sidewalks. On the other hand, you are
just ten minutes away from a big mall or a good university.
My hometown, in my opinion, provides me many opportunities to grow as a
professional and a large offering of restaurants and entertainment.
I want to travel around the world, but I will always prefer to live here.

The President
One day, a father was having a serious talk with his

teenage boy. “Son, I’m not very happy with you. You
don’t study. You don’t work. And you sleep all day long . You are 15
years old . Do you know what Abraham Lincoln was doing
when he was 15?”

The son looked at his father and said: “I really
don’t know Dad, but wasn’t he the president of the United States when he
was your age ?”
Question
1. Why did the father feel it was important to have a serious talk with his son?
What lesson was he trying to teach his son? Did his son understand his message?

Because his son wasn’t studying, working and just wanted to sleep all day long. He
was trying to teach his teenage boy that successful people work hard to get there. The story
didn’t say what Lincoln was doing as a teenager.

Social networking enables us to keep in touch with friends and family more
easily. Through these sites, you can also communicate with lots of people all over the
world, connecting with those who have the same interests.
If you are looking for a job, it is important to know that companies and
interviewers usually search the social media to know more details about candidates.
Therefore, you must pay attention to what you publicize, to promote your skills in a
planned campaign, saying great and positive things about yourself.

you. Basically, you can share anything with anybody you want.

Like mother, like son
As Mother’s Day was coming soon Billy Jack decided to buy

his mother an unusual gift. He went to a pet shop and asked the
owner : “What’s the most unusual and expensive pet I can buy?”
“I have a Mynah bird that costs two thousand and seven hundred dollars. It’s
the only one in the world that knows passages from the Bible”, answered
the old man.
“It’s expensive but I’ll take it. Mom will enjoy hearing
passages from the Bible.” So he bought and sent it to his

mother. On the Monday following Mother’s Day he called her long distance.
“Did you get the bird I sent you?” he asked.
“Yes son.”
“How did you like it ?”
“It was delicious , son.”
Question
1. Who was Billy Jack buying a present for? Why did Billy Jack want to buy a special
present? Why did he think she would like the present? What did she do to the present?
Billy Jack was buying a present for his mother because it was Mother’s Day. He
thought she would enjoy an expensive bird because it was able to say passages from the
Bible. Billy Jack’s mother ate the bird and said it was delicious.

My greatest accomplishment
My college graduation was my greatest accomplishment.
I was the first in my family able to accomplish this level of education. And I’m
not talking about my parents and siblings, but all my relatives and ancestors.
I am the youngest of a poor family of five siblings. I grew up in a neighborhood
where children used to leave school after completing the first four years of basic
education. Thanks to my older siblings, who started working early, I had the
opportunity to keep on studying, with no interruption. Fortunately, they have never
given up and now we all are graduates.
When I think about my graduation, I think that it is something we accomplished
together. My family helped me, believed in me and stood by me.
I know they are proud of me and I am thankful for all their support and love.

An ambitious woman who liked business and had some money in the bank
decided to open a clothing store. On opening day she was very
glad to see her first customer come into the shop.
Remembering that first impressions are very important
for business , she quickly went to the
telephone and began a conversation supposedly with another
customer . She set up a time for her imaginary customer to come in and
try on some clothes, said good-bye, and then went to
help the man who was patiently waiting at the counter .
“What can I do for you, sir?” she said in a refined tone.“
If you don’t mind ma’am, I came here to install your telephone .”
Question
1. Was the woman in the story ambitious or not ambitious? Where did she keep her
money? What kind of business did the woman open? Why did she start a phone
conversation when a customer came in? What did she say to the customer who was
waiting? What did the customer say to her?
She was ambitious. She kept her money in the bank. She opened a clothing store.
When her first customer came in, she started a phone conversation to cause a good first
impression. After finishing her fake call, she asked to the customer who was waiting what
she could do for him. He said he was there to install her telephone.

Someone who has made a difference in my life

When I was around ten years old, I used to play with my friends in the
neighborhood. Our parents used to work the whole day and we were completely free
to do whatever we wanted. As children, we just wanted to be outdoors, running,
playing and talking.
I remember there was a girl who lived on the next street, and had a better life
than ours. Actually, according to our thinking then, she was rich since she had a big
house and her grandmother was always home to take care of her. This girl had a little
sister and I once said something about the baby using the poor language I was used
to, something like a slang. As her grandmother was near us, she heard what I said and
she told me a little girl should never speak like that.
I know people can think this was nothing, but it really changed my life. I felt so
embarrassed and I thought to myself I would never speak like that again. I decided
I wanted to be more polite and I wanted to become an elegant woman. I am sure I
succeeded in that.
Sometimes small things we do can make a big difference in someone else’s life.
That grandmother has made a difference in my life, but she never knew that. She
would probably be proud of me now.

My favorite book
It is hard to choose only one book as my favorite. Actually, I would say that it is
impossible.
I have read so many books, I have laugh and cried with the characters, I have
lived their stories. Asking me to choose one book is like asking a mother to say who
her favorite son is.
As I don’t have a favorite, I will talk about the first book I remember I enjoyed
reading, the first I read by myself when I was 6 years old. To illustrate my passion,
I must tell you that I still have this book here in my “library” _an entire wall with
books in my bedroom. The book is “Where’s Wally?”, by Martin Handford. I think
it’s a perfect book for kids, because the text is short and there is a series of detailed
illustrations that challenge the readers to find Wally hidden in the group. Wally
wears a red-and-white-striped shirt, a hat and glasses, what makes a little easier to
recognize him among the variety of things on the pages.
So, if you want to have some fun, even if you aren’t a child, “Where’s Wally” is a
good book for you.

First Job
There was a lady who tried to find a job for her teenage
boy. He was sixteen years old and had never worked before. The boy
seemed to be very willing to work, but he had a small problem. He had stuttered
since he was very young. The driver of a soft drink truck
hired the boy to load and unload cases of soft drinks. The boy spoke
with some difficulty , but that was no problem because he was able
to work hard. One day however , when the driver was trying to cross
a large and very busy avenue , he asked the boy: “Any cars coming from
your side, young man?” The boy answered “No, no, no cars coming.” The truck
driver started crossing the avenue when the boy said; “Only a big, big,
big red bus.”

Something I want to accomplish

I want to go to France and take the Boulangerie Program at Le cordon Bleu Paris
school. The Boulangerie Program is a bread baking professional course that trains
students in the techniques in bread making.
After finishing the course, I want to live and work in France for a period, so I can
acquire practical experience to open my own bakery when I come back home.
Although the Boulangerie Program is taught in French and translated into
English I want to learn French before going so I can practice and, perhaps, speak it
fluently by the end of the course. I believe it will be easier for me to find a job there if
I can speak their language.
The course, and so the cost of living in Paris, is quite expensive, therefore I have
already started saving money for this adventure.

My first computer
The only thing I can say about my first computer is that I wasn’t the one who
bought it.
Since I remember, we always had computers at home. As a matter of fact, I
remember having one in my bedroom since I was a little boy.
It probably wasn’t the newest model, the most powerful or most modern, but it
was good enough for a boy who just wanted to play games or watch cartoons online.

me. That started bothering me, so I greeted him from the distance and he did the
same. As he didn’t stop staring at me, I thought perhaps he knew me and decided to
talk to him.
When I started moving on his direction, and he was coming to meet me, my
friends came back and I realized that the man staring at me was actually myself at
the mirror.
