This was our first class after my break, so we spent the first part of the class catching up with things. After that, we reviewed the use of the future and perfect tenses in English.

Activities
- Travel around the world Travel around the world is something that I really enjoy ( who don´t ? ) and share these experiences with people it´s amazing. The internet made it possible and easier for us nowadays and some sites like Italki is an perfect example. I was talking with a retired flight attendant yesterday and she was talking about all the countries that she went and about his crazy experiences. Know different countries and cultures makes our minds expand and makes us more interesting people. The same way that makes enable for us talking and teaching the other people about our own culture and country in a more correct and real way, without mysticism. Can I say Who don´t ???????April 9, 201921
- Raising children Raising children it´s not an easy task, but nowadays we have more information than our parents in the past, so we can do better and better. We have a lot of different tools to use to educate and to avoid violence. Talking and explaining the things, understanding the brain development and the age appropriate development, in other words, know what to expect at each stage ( the normal actions for the age ) are things that we can do to help us in this difficult and excited way. ( or path ??? ).April 9, 201920
- Bariatric Surgery My husband did a bariatric surgery eight years ago and he´s very fine know, but a lot of people can not be well after this kind of surgery because they have a lot of difficult in the recovery process right after that , especially because they can not eat as they ate before; Another problem is that they can develop other addictions like drink alcohol or do exercises exhaustively. An important thing to do before the surgery is to attend a psychologist for at least two years as well as a nutritionist and be mentally prepared.April 5, 201910
- Admission There are a few characteristics that make me different from the other people. First I agree with Stephen Hawking when he says that Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change and I definitely know how to adapt to any and all necessary changes, so getting out of my comfort zone and dealing with it are some of my characters. In addition, it is my ability to communicate. I believe that knowing how to communicate with different people at different levels is one of the essential conditions for success in personal and professional life. Secondly, I believe that we are the fruit of our lifelong experiences and the way that we deal with those experiences, can develop our personality and individuality. For example, after I lived many personal difficulties, I learned that we have the ability to overcome any problem in our life no matter how difficult it may seem. In my case I lost my family very early, I grew up without many financial resources and it turned me into someone with big dreams. I grew up in a country where pursuing a medical career is unique to a few and often rich people, but I always doubted everyone when they told me that I should choose a career that was more within my reach because I believe that everything is within my reach, so the result of this belief is that today I am a pediatrician with great pride. Finally, I have much to be proud of! as I mentioned earlier, being a doctor it is my greatest professional achievement. Another important factor that I am proud of, it is how I view life positively and how I see challenges as growth opportunities, not like obstacles and finally, I am very proud to be a great mother.November 3, 201721
- A letter to me Hi Fernanda, it's me! or maybe would be better say that I'am you in 2017! Let's talk about our life now, at this moment I am in adaptation process. I'm learning English to be possible come back to work and to be possible live here in the U.S. I have a little guy, who needs me all the time, Benjamin it's a Good gift for our family! At this moment he starts speaking a lot of new words and he starts translate the words that I talk in Portuguese to English, but we still talking in Portuguese because he need learn! John and I started thinking about our second baby, so I hope have two kids running around me when I read this letter in ten years! I'm not sure what is my next step, probably I will start study to work with clinical research, I hope not be sorry about this decision when I'm reading this. I'm happy at this moment, but I really hope be more happy with my life in ten years because now I don't have my work and my complete family, maybe in the future this will be a sweet reality !October 12, 201710
- The world without Bill Gates Bill Gates is a very important person in the world, everything would be different if he had never been born.He created the Microsoft and the personal computer so if he had never been born we would not known the portable technology.It´s difficult to imagine the world without personal computers because the computers are very common for us nowadays.Most of the people and companies, especially in rich countries like the United States use software from Microsoft. For example, we use our computers to administrate our lives, to study, to work , to communicate with people in any place in the world etc. Without the computers like we know, probably we would be less developed than we are now and the communicate would be more difficult therefore we might not have developed things like other technologies, researches about different areas of knowledge like medicine, transportation, energy etc. However, we can also think in a different way, if Bill Gates had never been born we would have another person who could have created a better software and we would have more knowledge and technology nowadays. In a nutshell, technology is part of our lives!July 24, 201720
- The world without Walt Disney It is difficult to imagine the world without Walt Disney, probably the world would be less magical without him. Not only kids but also adults love the stories of Walt Disney and it´s difficult found someone who didn´t know who was Walt Disney If Walt Disney had never been born, we would not have dreamt with a lot of characters like Mickey Mouse. The Disney world would never have existed and our vacations would have been less fun. Most of the people enjoy going to the Disney World because it is a magical place. This man inspired our imagination, so if he had never been born we might not have watched many cartoons or read many stories. The animation movies would be much different than we know nowadays, probably less interesting. In a nutshell the Disney world it´s a place where your dreams come true and it is a perfect place to go with kids, so it´s hard to imagine how boring the world would be without it!July 24, 201711
- My city in Brazil ( passive with modals ) I lived in a beautiful city in Brazil whose name is São José before I came to the USA, but I believe some things could be improved there.First, I think we could redesign the sidewalks because the sidewalks in São José have many holes and this is dangerous for the pedestrians.We have a lot of public squares around the city and the city hall could build more playgrounds in these places. The city is beautiful but we always can plant more trees by the way the parks should be cleaned and cared by everyone who enjoys the place.Another common problem is the graffiti on the walls, the cleaning of this graphite could be done regularly to maintain a cleaner and nice environment. People often use cars to travel short distances, so the people should be walked more with bicycles than cars to decrease the traffic and it is also very important that future administrations do not change the elderly care program that works very well in São José. However, in my opinion, the most important thing to improve in São José is the public hospital because there is the main place of emergency care and the hospital needs more money to work well.This changes can make my loved city a better place to live!July 24, 201730
- Homework Homework is important to fix learning, there are no substitutes for homework, most students need encouragement to study and sometimes this comes with the homework obligation. In my country there are many cultural differences but in general parents keep an extra close eye on their children during the studies. A common feature in parents is to go berserk when children don´t do their homework, So it is important that parents stay close and don't lose contact with their children, the teachers and the school. Some parents offer reinforcements for their children to get good grades, but each family follows its own rules to encouraging their children in school.April 22, 201710
