My morning routine

My name is Bob. Each day I drive my kids to school. My daughter goes to a school that’s
far from our house. It takes 30 minutes to get there. Then I drive my son to his school. It’s
close to my job. My daughter is in the sixth grade and my son is in the second. They are
both good students. My daughter usually sings her favorite songs while I drive. My son
usually sleeps.

I arrive at the office at 8:30 AM. I say good morning to all my workmates then I get a big
cup of hot coffee. I turn on my computer and read my email. Some days I have a lot to
read. Soon I need another cup of coffee.

My family at home

My family lives in a small house. It’s simple but pretty. It has a large garden. I like to work
in the garden but my sister hates to work in the garden. She prefers to read. She reads in
the morning, in the afternoon and at night.

I give all of the vegetables to mom and dad. They like to cook in our small kitchen. I eat
any vegetable but my sister eats only a few.

My family always eats breakfast and dinner together. We talk. We laugh. Then my sister
washes the dishes.

At night dad likes to listen to music. Mom works on the computer. I watch television. And
my sister reads.

Soon we go to bed. My parents go to bed late but my sister and I go to bed early. I’m
ready to go to sleep but my sister wants to keep reading.

At school

Lucas goes to school every day of the week. He has many subjects to go to each school
day: English, art, science, mathematics, gym, and history. His mother packs a big
backpack full of books and lunch for Lucas.

His first class is English, and he likes that teacher very much. His English teacher says
that he is a good pupil, which Lucas knows means that she thinks he is a good student.

His next class is art. He draws on paper with crayons and pencils and sometimes uses a
ruler. Lucas likes art. It is his favorite class.

His third class is science. This class is very hard for Lucas to figure out, but he gets to
work with his classmates a lot, which he likes to do. His friend, Kyle, works with Lucas in
science class, and they have fun.

Then Lucas gets his break for lunch. He sits with Kyle while he eats. The principal, or the
headmaster as some call him, likes to walk around and talk to students during lunch to
check that they are all behaving.
The next class is mathematics, which most of the students just call math. Kyle has trouble
getting a good grade in mathematics, but the teacher is very nice and helpful.
His fourth class is gym. It is just exercising.
History is his last class of the day Lucas has a hard time staying awake. Many lessons are
boring, and he is very tired after doing gym.

Our Vacation

Every year we go to Florida. We like to go to the beach.

My favorite beach is called Emerson Beach. It is very long, with soft sand and palm trees.
It is very beautiful. I like to make sandcastles and watch the sailboats go by. Sometimes
there are dolphins and whales in the water!

Every morning we look for shells in the sand. I found fifteen big shells last year. I put them
in a special place in my room. This year I want to learn to surf. It is hard to surf, but so
much fun! My sister is a good surfer. She says that she can teach me. I hope I can do it!

April's Month

There was a nice little girl. She was 10 years old. Her name was April.
One day, April asked her parents why she was called April.
Her mother answered that she was called April because she was born in April. The little
girl was very happy to hear that. She liked her name.
April really liked the month April, too.
This was because she had her birthday in that month. Her parents made her a party.
All her friends came and celebrated with her, and she received a lot of presents.
One day, her mother became pregnant and soon April had a little brother.
Her brother was born in February. Everyone came to visit the family. Everyone suggested
names for the new baby.
April did not understand what the problem was. This looked very simple to her.
She said that if the baby was born in February, the correct name was February!

Emily's Secret

Emily is 8 years old. She lives in a big house. She has a huge room.
She has many toys and she has a lot of friends. But Emily is not happy. She has a
secret. She doesn't want to tell anyone about her secret.
She feels embarrassed. The problem is that if nobody knows about it, there is no one that
can help her.
Emily doesn't write her homework. When there is an exam – she gets sick. She doesn't
tell anyone, but the truth is she can't read and write.
Emily doesn't remember the letters of the alphabet. One day, Emily's teacher finds out.
She sees that Emily can't write on the board.
She calls her after class and asks her to tell the truth. Emily says, "It is true. I don't know
how to read and write". The teacher listens to her. She wants to help Emily.
She tells her, "That's ok. You can read and write if we practice together". So Emily and
her teacher meet every day after class.
They practice together. Emily works hard. Now she knows how to read and write!

Washington, D.C

Yesterday, Stephen returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United
States. His visit took place during the week prior to the Fourth of July. Logically, there
were many activities and celebrations in town in preparation for Independence Day.
During his stay in the city, Stephen visited a lot of important historical sites and
monuments, and he left with a deeper understanding of the political history of the United
States.
Stephen spent a lot of time outdoors exploring the important monuments surrounding
Capitol Hill. Of course, he saw the White House from its outside gate at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue. Stephen also visited the Washington Monument, the Jefferson
Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. These statues and pavilions are dedicated to former
U.S. presidents. They commemorate the contributions that these leaders made
throughout American history. Washington, D.C. also has several war memorials
dedicated to fallen soldiers during the major wars of the 20th century.
Away from the Capitol Hill area, Washington, D.C. has many museums and art galleries
worth visiting. Stephen enjoyed his visit to Washington, D.C. because he learned a lot
more about American history after touring each important landmark.

Los Angeles

Stephanie recently took a weekend trip to Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is a
coastal city situated along the Pacific Ocean. Many celebrities earned their claim to fame
here. Although the town offers many attractions centered around Hollywood culture,
there is a lot to see and visit in Los Angeles.

Of course, all things related to Hollywood are popular tourist attractions. The Hollywood
Sign, located the Hollywood Hills of the Santa Monica Mountains, is a famous landmark
for this star-studded town. Once in downtown Hollywood, it’s possible to take a stroll
along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This landmark contains more than 2500 brass stars
dedicated to celebrities who have made a significant impact on the entertainment
industry. In Hollywood, visitors can even take tours of popular movie studios. Stephanie
had a chance to visit Universal Studios, which produces her favorite films.

Los Angeles is also a popular beach town, offering plenty of opportunities for sunbathing
and surfing. A common beach destination is the Santa Monica Pier, which offers rides
and attractions to its visitors. Here, Stephanie rode the iconic Ferris wheel, which offered
her a spectacular view of the city and coast.

These are just some of the things Stephanie experienced during her visit to Los Angeles.
She loved her trip, and she hopes to return someday soon.

The Empire State Building

When exploring New York City, there are several different options for activities during a
day trip. Some visitors come to see a show, visit art museums, or simply to shop in many
of the city’s high-end retailers. However, many tourists simply come to New York City for
the sightseeing. One of the most visited landmarks in New York City is the Empire State
Building.

The Empire State Building, constructed in 1931, is a 102-story skyscraper, the ninth
highest building in the world, and the fourth tallest structure in the United States. It is
located in Midtown, Manhattan. This skyscraper is an iconic symbol of the city, having
been featured in over 90 popular movies (as of 2018) throughout film history. Tourists
come from all over the world to visit this building and view the city from its famous
observation decks.

Matthew, an enthusiast of historic buildings, was excited for this trip to New York City
because he has always appreciated architectural design. Matthew purchased a ticket that
granted him access to beautiful 360-degree views of the city. The ticket included an
elevator ride that stopped at two different vantage points, one at the 86th floor and the
other at the rooftop observatory on the 102nd floor. From these observation decks,
Matthew took incredible photographs of the entire New York City skyline. The rooftop views
granted Matthew perfect aerial perspectives of Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Times
Square, the Statue of Liberty, and many other important city landmarks.

London

London is a famous and historic city. It is the capital of England in the United Kingdom.
The city is quite popular for international tourism because London is home to one of the
oldest-standing monarchies in the western hemisphere. Rita and Joanne recently traveled
to London. They were very excited for their trip because this was their first journey
overseas from the United States.

Among the popular sights that Rita and Joanne visited are Big Ben, Buckingham Palace,
and the London Eye. Big Ben is one of London’s most famous monuments. It is a large
clock tower located at the northern end of Westminster Palace. The clock tower is 96
meters tall. Unfortunately, Rita and Joanne were only able to view the tower from the
outside. The women learned that the tower’s interior is undergoing renovations until 2021.

Fortunately, the London Eye, the city’s famous Ferris wheel, was open to the public. The
London Eye is situated along the southern shores of the Thames River. This attraction
stands 135 meters high. It is one of London’s most well-known spots for gaining aerial
views of the city. Each capsule of the Ferris wheel can hold up to 25 passengers. When
their capsule stopped at the top of the Ferris wheel, the women took spectacular panoramic
photographs of the beautiful cityscape below.

The last place that Rita and Joanne visited was Buckingham Palace, the home of the
Queen of England. The women were impressed by the palace’s incredible architecture and
historical value. Both Rita and Joanne enjoyed watching the Queen’s guards outside the
palace. These guards wore red tunic uniforms, shiny black boots, and bearskin hats.
Despite the women’s attempts to catch the attention of the guards, the guards are
specifically trained to avoid distractions. Because of this, the guards ignored the women
completely.

Joanne and Rita had an amazing time visiting the city of London, and they are inspired to
seek more international travel destinations in the future.

Christmas

A Christian holiday signifying the birth of Jesus, Christmas is widely celebrated and
enjoyed across the United States and the world. The holiday always falls on 25 December
(regardless of the day of the week), and is typically accompanied by decorations, presents,
and special meals.

Specifically, the legend behind Christmas (and the one that most children are told) is that
Santa Claus, a bearded, hefty, jolly, and red-jacket-wearing old man who lives in the North
Pole, spends the year crafting presents with his elves, or small, festive, excited Santa-
assistants. All the children who behave throughout the year are admitted to the Good List,
and will presumably receive their desired gifts on Christmas, while those who don’t behave
are placed on the Naughty List, and will presumably (although the matter is determined by
parents) receive a lump of coal.

Santa Claus is said to fly around the Christmas sky in a sled powered by his magical
reindeer, or cold-resistant, mythically powered, individually named animals, delivering
presents to each child’s house in the process. Santa is also expected to slide through
chimneys to deliver these presents (homes not equipped with chimneys might “leave the
front door cracked open”), and children sometimes arrange cookies or other treats on a
plate for him to enjoy.

Gifts are placed underneath a Christmas tree, or a pine tree that’s decorated with
ornaments and/or lights and is symbolic of the holiday. Additionally, smaller gifts may be
placed inside a stocking, or a sock-shaped, holiday-specific piece of fabric that’s generally
hung on the mantle of a fireplace (homes without fireplaces might use the wall). A
Christmas tree’s ornaments, or hanging, typically spherical decorations, in addition to the
mentioned lights, may be accompanied by a star, or a representation of the Star of
Jerusalem that the Three Apostles followed while bringing Baby Jesus gifts and honoring
him, in the Bible

Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918

The deadliest virus in modern history, perhaps of all time, was the 1918 Spanish Flu. It
killed about 20 to 50 million people worldwide, perhaps more. The total death toll is
unknown because medical records were not kept in many areas.

The pandemic hit during World War I and devastated military troops. In the United
States, for instance, more servicemen were killed from the flu than from the war itself.
The Spanish flu was fatal to a higher proportion of young adults than most flu viruses.

The pandemic started mildly, in the spring of 1918, but was followed by a much more
severe wave in the fall of 1918. The war likely contributed to the devastating mortality
numbers, as large outbreaks occurred in military forces living in close quarters. Poor
nutrition and the unsanitary conditions of war camps had an effect.

A third wave occurred in the winter and spring of 1919, and a fourth, smaller wave
occurred in a few areas in spring 1920. Initial symptoms of the flu were typical: sore
throat, headache, and fever. The flu often progressed rapidly to cause severe pneumonia
and sometimes hemorrhage in the lungs and mucus membranes. A characteristic feature
of severe cases of the Spanish Flu was heliotrope cyanosis, where the patient’s face
turned blue from lack of oxygen in the cells. Death usually followed within hours or days.

Modern medicine such as vaccines, antivirals, and antibiotics for secondary infections
were not available at that time, so medical personnel couldn’t do much more than try to
relieve symptoms.

The flu ended when it had infected enough people that those who were susceptible had
either died or developed immunity.

Letter to a Friend

Hi, Fred!
It’s been a while since we have been in touch. How has your semester been?
I wanted to send you an email update to you let you know how things have been going
during my semester abroad here in Málaga, Spain. I’ve already been here for six weeks,
and I feel like I am finally adapting to the culture. I’m also speaking the language more
fluently.
I arrived during the first week of September. The weather has been very nice. Even though
it’s October, it’s still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in the
Mediterranean Sea earlier today.

I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom, but we eat
breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we eat a big home-cooked paella for
lunch. In Spain, lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day. It’s also very common for the
people to take a midday nap right after a big meal. I am actually just waking up from my
nap right now!
On weekdays, I take classes at the local university. There, I met several native Spanish
speakers. They have been very kind and patient with me. At first, I struggled to
comprehend their Spanish, but now I understand most of our conversations. They have
commented that my Spanish has improved a lot since we first met. Now, I am more
confident to use the language in other places like stores and restaurants.
I am so glad that I decided to spend the semester here in Spain. We have an extended
weekend coming up, so a group of my friends and I are going to travel to France for four
days. It’s so easy and inexpensive to travel internationally in Europe. I love it!
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Like I said, don’t hesitate to stay in touch more
often. Perhaps you could even come to visit! What do you think?

Best wishes,
Cláudio

Go to bed / hit the sack ------- ir para cama

I´m under your spell ---- estou atraido por você

I´m crazy about you ---- sou louco por você

I´m drawn to you ------ estou atraido por você

Knowledge takes no room -------- o conhecimento não ocupa espaço

You´re never old to learn ------ nunca é tarde para aprender

« It always seems impossible until it´s done »
