Family memories My family isn’t much close. I meet my uncles and cousins once or two times for year. We were close in the past. We became distant after my gran died. But when we are all together we had good times. We usually do barbecues at Jaragua Club where we enjoyed the sun and pool in family it´s also the better opportunity to know the families news or the gossips. Some times in the past we traveled together. I remember travel to Cabo Frio Beach. We rent a bus and went 45 people to a beach house. Wow! Imagine Parents, kids, uncles, cousins, nephews, brothers and sisters every day together in a house. We stay in there for two weeks. What a mess but funny as hell. I may say that was the funniest travel I ever had. Was really cool, we should do more this. But the family life isnt only made for good times. My worst time ever was the death of my brother two years ago. He was 19, more young than me and in my house was just my mother, my brother and me. When he died My mother was psychologically and emotionally sickness. I avoided tell her afraid about her reaction. I just can told her 8 hours after his death, and even this I gave her some medicines to be calm. Was really sad. Was a terrible Moto accident, all family were really upset. But even in this times I guess that we need see the opportunities that life give us. So, after the accident my mother and I became more close. This is the life. We are here to learn and try living the better way we can. So, enjoy!

Media Sensationalist I dislike sensationalist programs. Sensationalist media is defined as the one which involves use of fear, anger excitement and thrill to increase the viewership. This type of programs wants to shock us as much as possible. The sensationalism is being practiced by religious channels and also in gossip programs, but also is used to reporting news. I´m graduated in Comunication and as far as I´m concerned, this type of reporting show the dark side of journalism and has caused degradation of values in our society. Sensationalism is so deeply embedded in our society that we don´t know which information is true. As it was not enough, even the celebrities aren´t spared. I think it´s hight time that media just start reporting facts. The rest should be left to the public to interpret and understand the meaning. We need more information, education and not only fun and drama in our Tv.

The almighty surrenders In this text my goal is describe a scene from a movie. I choose describe a scene from the movie “the almighty” with Jim Carrey. First Bruce sees his wife praying to God and crying out. She prays and says that she is still love Bruce but didn´t want love him anymore, after all this he did. She cries desperately asking God to forget him and yell “ I don’t want live anymore”. While he sees this scene Bruce heart sinks and He realizes that made his wife suffer a lot. He rushes to the street crying and yelling. It´s night and it´s raining and He doenst´realize that he is in the middle of a highway. In this moment Bruce made his first prayer. He talks to God saying that he won and he doesn´t wants to be God anymore. He doesn´t wants to decide about his own life and prefers God chooses for him. In this moment he opens his arms in a gesture of surrender. Suddenly a strong light covers the body of Bruce, He feels the presence of God and then opens a smile on your face, the light become more intense… He thinks that is God but is surprised by a truck runs over him. So Bruce wade awake and thinks he´s is the heaven and has a conversations with God about the meaning of prayers and about faith, but he isn´t dead but in coma in a hospital. After this conversation God gives him a opportunity to remake his life alongside his wife.

My travel to Rio de Janeiro In 2009 I visited Rio de Janeiro city and I could know the tourist points there. First I visited Copacabana Beach to enjoy the sun and in my second day In the city I visited the Pão de Açúcar - “Sugar Loaf mountains" (one taller and other shorter than) There are a aerial tramway to go to the top of the mountains where we can see the view of The beaches, The statue of Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay, Rio-Niteroi Bridge and background view of The Serra do Mar. This tour costed around 53R$ or 27 dollars. I also visited the Corcovado to see the statue of The Christ Redeemer more close. To do this it´s necessary take a train or a cab, but when I went I prefered ride a train because the trains pass by the Mata Atlantica, so it´s a beautiful tour and it cost R$ 40 or 20 dollars. I really enjoyed this travel for Rio and I also visited other tourist points like The Botanical Garden that is a park and also a scientific laboratory wich countains a huge collections of plants from all over the world not only tropical. To conclude my travel I visited The Maracanã Stadium as well.

The health system in Brazil this is a text that i made for my english class about the health system in brazil. I would be happy if someone corrected or comment. The health system in Brazil Unlike many countries in the world, in Brazil's health care is a right, a common good.But, there are several cracks in Brazil´s health care system. The federal health care is minimal, failing to meet the several needs, while several managerial, human and infrastructural problems remain. Brazil´s universal healthcare system is called the Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System, SUS). SUS is decentralized. The management and implementation of policies are the responsability of the state and municipal goverments. In addition to provide free primary care, surgery and medication, SUS also provides a Family Health Program where doctors and nurses visite the houses to provide services to needy people. The idea of the goverment to be responsible for the health care became part of the brazillian constitution in 1988. This idea seems to have paid off but several challenges remain. There is a shortage of doctors and nurses especially in rural areas. Many hospitals are also poorly managed, consequently many of the poor in need have had to purchase private insurance or pay for this kind of services.
