Halloween!



On Halloween people are very afraid of children as children do funny things to them. Everybody decorates their haunted houses with sweets, pumpkins and candles. It is a very frightening day, really. People who lived in northern countries created this date to drive away bad spirits. In Brazil it's not very typical to celebrate it on the October 31 st. We have Halloween parties, for example: in clubs and English courses such as Cultural and Wizard people celebrate it. I never went to a Halloween event because I don't know about its origins but now I am learning about this. I am very afraid of witches, witchcraft, devils and dracula but I don't believe in them. It's interesting to decorate carved pumpkins in detail. Kids in the USA and north Europe go to the street and houses asking for money and sweets.

Olympics


I like to watch sports on tv. It is very exciting. My favorite sports is rhythmist gymnastics and swimming.I become thrilled when Brazil wins in these olympic events. My dream is to go to the Olympic games one day. People from every countries participate in different competitions. I confess: I love my fatherland and its athletes. The 2016 Olympics is important to Brazil touristically and economically. It attracts people from other nations and they spend their money here, helping the country. Our country is also benefited because it gains more status culture.

Mercosur biennial


I was at the Mercosur Biennial on weekend. I saw different things, I understood some works of art, others I didn't understand. I liked the design of ideas, my favorite subject of Mercosur Biennial. This project was very interesting, because the artists demonstrated their opinion through design. The idea of the project was to show future changes. All people were concentrated analysing the pictures. I always appreciate culture, our population is privileged. I know little about pictures and paintings, in the future I would like to learn and interpret better the world of art.

My birthday!


I was on birthday last weekend. I won gifts such as clothes, chocolate cake and earrings. My family and friends are very special to me. I like to get gifts and give gifts to my relatives and friends too. I prefer to give things to women because I understand their lifestyle. I confess: birthday, Christmas and Easter are my favorite days.
