- Pousada is a kind of county hotel. A place that you can pay to spend some days relaxing, in a good place. Generaly this place is not in the big cities. It is more commom to find Pousadas to rent close to waterfalls, Touristic cities or beaches. Chalés are small house. Instead you rent a room at the Pousada, you rent a little house, A kind of hut, just for you and your company. Hope that i've helped.0 votedFebruary 23, 20130
- Would you come to Brazil? Know it by regions... Hello you all! One more note to be corrected. It has helped me a lot! I would like to write today a bit about Brazil. Brazil is a great place to live. It's a large country with many diferent regions along it. I will try to summarize here a few of the characteristics of each region. "down" there, at the south there are many wine production due the weather. The southerners are a beautiful people. They also are so proud of their region. The majority present european european appearance. They are like blond and white people. The southeast is the richest region of Brazil due its industries. The states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro are three of the most important states from Brazil. I live in Minas Gerais state. This region is very famous due its beaches and sights (?). People from here are also hospitable, beautiful and friendly. The Midwest are most known by its Natural diversity. There are the Pantanal, a Natural region so much beautiful. There are many rivers that has atracted the fishing lovers. The economy is based on the plantations. This region produce a lot of soy, corn and cattle. There is the hottest city from Brazil - Cuiabá. At north there is our lung: The Amazon Forest. It is inexplicable how it is large and beautiful, but, unfortunately, there is the huge problem of the ilegal deforestation. The culture from this region is based on the indian culture. People still present the indians traits and they are used to the natural medicine as a solution for health problems. Last and not least important there is the Northeast. The place to go if you want to visit a really nice beach, with tropical weather and warm people. The economy from this region is based on the tourism. The people are funny and friendly but there are a huge problem of poverty and drought at the inner of the states. All the regions are beautiful, they have their own characteristics, and Brazilians are friendly people at all. There are many problems but there are many good things to enjoy over here. I hope that some of you can come and have fun around! Bye!February 21, 201300
- the place that I live in and My favorite soccer team. As a big part of the world knows, we, brazilians, are afectionated for soccer. We love this sport and we support it hardly. I'm from Pará de Minas. A little city close to Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state. We don't live so close neither to São Paulo nor Rio de Janeiro, but our state is amazing! Beatiful landscapes, a rich geography and a great hospitality. The soccer team that I love and support with all my passion is Atlético Mineiro better known as Galo (rooster in english). We were vice-champions of the Brasileirão (national tournament) last year and this year we are running for (competing?) libertadores. Similar to the champions league, for us. our best player is Ronaldinho Gaúcho. If you want to know more about this team, look for Ronaldinho Gaúcho - Galo - 2012 on the youtube. Paulo C. Resende.

O Sem Censura de hoje recebe a geriatra Cláudia Burlá para discutir uma recente resolução do Conselho Federal de Medicina, sobre o direito de pacientes definirem limites de tratamento na fase terminal. Para complementar a discussão, a advogada Luciana Dadalto fala sobre o testamento vital, onde os médicos devem respeitar o desejo previamente declarado de pacientes em estado terminal. Às 16h (link removed by me).
E você, qual sua opinião sobre o assunto?
The Sem Censura(without censorship) of today receives the geriatrician Claudia Burla for discussing a recent resolution from Federal Council of Medicine, about the right of patients define the limit of the treatment in the terminal phase. For the complimentary discussion, the lawer Luciana Dadalto speaks about the vital testament where the doctors should respect the desire previously declared of patients in terminal state. ????
And you, what is your opinion about the subject?
I don't know what Às 16h is. I have not been able to find the meaning yet.Answer: "às 16h" means "On 4 pm"
Something I noted in this translation is the português ending -ir. I think this ending replaces the English ending -ing in some words. For example:
discutir is português for the English word discussing
dirigir is português for the English word drivingActualy, the ending "ir" belongs to the group of three endings that means that the verb is in the infinitive form. It can be understood as the ING on english just when it does'nt mean th present continous. Actions that is happening...

Após celebrar 40 anos de carreira em 2012, quando percorreu o país
com a primeira parte do projeto 'Duas faces', a cantora Alcione inicia
2013 no palco do Teatro Rival para brindar cariocas e turistas com sua
voz e ginga de hoje a quinta.
After celebrate 40 years from her career in 2012, when go through the country with the first part of the project 'Two Faces', the singer Alcione starts 2013 on the stage from Rival Theater for pleasing cariocas and tourists with her voice and ginga from today untill Thursday. (ginga is the balance, rythm)
I still have not figured out what a ginga is. I don't know if it means dancing rhythm, red hair, or something to do with a boat. The last part is really chopped up because I don't know where to place parts of the sentence.0 votedJanuary 18, 20130Translation - from Rede Globo FB status
Bom dia, amigos! Muitas pessoas acham que dirigir é fácil, mas dicas de segurança nunca são demais. O Auto Esporte de hoje mostra uma matéria que conta o que o motorista deve fazer em caso de pane no veículo na estrada, e como deve proceder para ser visto pelos outros carros: (I removed the link). Fica de olho!
Good morning friends! Many people think that driving is easy, but there are never too many tips of security(or how to be secure/better driver). The Auto Esporte is on today to show a reporter that tells what the driver should do in case of a breakdown on the road, and how to act to be seem for other cars. Keep on looking!(perhaps keep watching, I'm not sure).
Took about 30 minutes to write all the words, pronounce them, and look them up. I'll start reading and recording soon.0 votedJanuary 18, 20130- First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am learning english and I would like to learn to make friends from other countries.
