I think all of you are very lucky. I am not Brazilian and in fact, I am from Asia, another part of the world altogether. I am still single but I do have a story to tell. I met someone in college a few weeks back. It's someone whom I didn't take a second look at first, but now, she is always on my mind. She is quite simply, the average girl next door. We can talk and make each other laugh so much. So finally, I asked her out for a date yesterday. We were scheduled to attend a performance- but it was cancelled at the last minute. So we ended up working on a school project (we had our stuff with us). And it turned out more fun than the performance- I don't think we would have laughed so much if we were watching the performance instead. I don't know exactly how she feels for me at this point, but we are going out again next week. It might turn out to be my final chance (yeah, it's a long story). And I will be looking out to try my best. Hi everyone.

I didn't have any problems in understanding it, but I listened to it many, many times. It's such a touching report! I sent the link to my friends and co-workers. I intend to translate it into Portuguese for use with my students. It’s a wonderful report. I didn’t have any problems in understanding it, but I listened to it many, many times.

You need to have a DVD writer on your computer. If it's an online slideshow, generally there's an option to download it. You can download it and then burn the DVD. If you don't know how to do it, I'm sure one of your students or someone near you might help you with that and suggest a program to use. Ask around and I'm sure you'll find a solution to use slideshows in your classes. Dear Cristiane,

It's such an expensive place that things do look fake. I would like to see it with my own eyes and meet people who live there and also learn more about them. When I see photos of Dubai, I only see amazing buildings and beautiful landscapes, but I never see people and I miss that! Hello Solange
I share the same feeling about Dubai. It’s such an expensive place that things do look fake. I would like to see it with my own eyes and meet people who live there and also learn more about them. When I see photos of Dubai, I only see amazing buildings and beautiful landscapes, but I never see people and I miss that!

I took notes and noticed when we had already been to the place or even know a lot about it, it's easier to listen and catch the context and also, the meaning of the words. Among all of these places, I choose Dubai, one of the world tourism hot spots. A place that is incredible popular in Europe and Asia, but to achieve the preference of the North American and Australian tourists, they need to work more with marketing and 5 stars hotels to receive them. Nowadays, tourism is responsible for 40% of the economy there. Talking about population, the majority people who live there are foreigners. Many of them come from Indian. Since Dubai is party of the United Arabic Emirates and a Muslim country, the restrictions aren’t as the same as in the others Arabic States, but the tourist have to respect the local values. Personally, I don’t like places like Dubai, where the amount of richness is amazing but it sounds there is no feeling, no history, no love. Everything there looks so fake and extremely cold. What does it look for you? On the other hand, I really admire they ablility to construct a paradise, which it’s fantastic, specially on a desert. We’re talking big bucks here…Can you imagine how much are invested there?

One of the strategies I use when listening is to take note of key words. When I look at keywords written down, everything that was said comes to my mind and I can build all the listening again.

Usually, identify the main idea works best for me. Could you explain more about the third one "try to guess vocabulary from context"? Is it try to don't translate literally? I guess this is a habit that we need to avoid. Thank you Erica, I’ll try to use all of them.
