The aim of this blog is to share among the students, curiosities about the language, as well as having them involved in each school’s pedagogical activity of their interest, so that, they can lead topics, exchange information, and make new friends.
The only condition for that is to communicate in English Language, no matter if you are a Basic or an Upper Advanced student!
Your participation really makes the difference!

Phrasal Verb
Is a group of words that is used like a verb and consists of a verb with an adverb or preposition after it, for example 'set off' or 'look after'
Phrasal verbs are either separable or nonseparable. Unfortunately, there is no rule that will help you to look at a phrasal verb and always know whether it is separable or nonseparable.
It´s necessary a lot of practice to get used to them, while making use of the everyday spoken English.
We have a course totally focused on that!

In my town there are many traffic jams, they disturb a lot the city and people's lives. Every day the traffic is stuck and people have to leave home very early to arrive on time for their appointments. The government should build new bridges to facilitate access to the city and make better people's lives.
On the other hand, there are several good things to do and see here, as beaches and shopping malls. When visiting this island,people should know all the restaurants and homes of our parties. Everyone loves them.

I live in Florianópolis, a beautiful city in Brasil. The city is an island, and has forty-eight beaches around. For me the best beach is Barra da Lagoa, because it is quieter and much well frequented by families.
There are many places to eat, all kinds of food. My favorite kind of food is barbecue, but I like also Mexican , and Chinese food.
The city has too many problems. One of its biggest problems is traffic. There are many cars, and in the summer it gets worse. I usually get home in forty minutes most of the year, but in summer time, it takes one hour. The buses are also a problem, because there are few available schedules.
Even with all the problems, the life quality in Florianópolis, overcomes, all those matters, and that’s why I love living here.
