The fairytale of a fairy

By Laura Reis

Once upon a time, a fairy used to live among humans on Earth. Her name was Alice. 

Everywhere she would go, she was always the girl with very white skin, red hair, green eyes and pointy ears. She was raised by her godmother Ila, who wasn't a fairy. She was chosen to take care of Alice. Alice grew up healthy and just discovered about her origins when she was 13 years old and her powers appeared. Ila explained that she could choose what she wanted use her power on, and told her that no one could know about that, otherwise she would loose her power. 

Dan Brown, The Screenplay Writer

By Gilberto Sergio Ellovitch 

I have been reading the books by the writer Dan Brown. I have already read “Digital Fortress” and “The DaVinci Code”, and I have just finished reading “The Lost Symbol”. Currently, I have just started reading “Deception Point”. Also, I am used to asking my friends if they have read the books, and what they think about them. With this data, it would be possible to discuss the characteristics of the books that Mr. Brown writes, even if not having read all of his work. We can discuss the success formula, the language and the vocabulary used by this famous writer.

I’ll be there for...FRIENDS!

By Isabela Guedes

Friends is an American TV series created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which aired between 1994 and 2004, with a total of 236 episodes. The series is about a group of friends who live in Manhattan, in New York City, and meet each other daily in a coffee house. It lasted for 10 years and is considered to be one of the most watched series in the world. 

The truth is that FRIENDS was a landmark in American television. It received 66 awards until it ended, and the final episode became history, with the 4th place in the final ranking of the most watched series in the history of American television. It had about 52.5 million viewers. It was such an important event, that a single 30 second commercial cost $2 million! Besides, the series had a lot of cameos by Hollywood celebrities (there were over 50), such as George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Robin Williams, Brad Pitt, and others.

Things to do in Perdizes

By Bruna Finardi

In my neighborhood, Perdizes, there are a lot of places to go. Many restaurants, stores, parks…Yeah, it’s a big place, and it’s where I like to live. 

I’m gonna talk about some cool places in Perdizes, like Parque da Água Branca. It is a very calm and peaceful park where you can see some animals, eat, and play in the playgrounds. There, you can also go to an aquarium, have horseback riding lessons and, sometimes, there’re some fairs.

The Hangover, Part III

By Carina Escudero 

This week I watched the movie “The Hangover Part III” (Se Beber, Não Case 3, in Portuguese) and I decided to talk about it. 

This sequel is a little bit different from the others because the director, Todd Phillips, decided to radicalize after some criticism over the second movie, about it being very similar to the first one. So, in this one, there is no wedding nor bachelor party but, relax, because it’s still very funny (only a little more ‘polished’).

Burgers and Gelatos to die for

By Antonio Carlos Maranghetti

With a pleasant atmosphere in the style of the 50s, Zé do Hamburguer is a successful restaurant in São Paulo. Completely decorated with items of the nostalgic golden years, the cafeteria, inspired by the famous U.S. diner restaurants, goes far beyond what the eyes can see. Their dishes, prepared with great taste, ranging from amazingly good burgers to deliciously decorated potatoes (with bacon and some kinds of cheese), help to make their menu spectacular.
