Essay

When writing your essay about your family, you may follow this model:

"My family comes from Felgueiras, Portugal. It is big. I live with my mother, my father, my two sisters, Susana and Amélia, and my brother, Joaquim.
My family is very important to me. My parents are my best friends. When I have a problem, I discuss it with my parents and they are always ready to help me.
I don’t have contact with all the members of my family, but at weekends I usually meet my grandparents, because we all go for a walk in the park."

Family members

If you still have doubts about the correct pronunciation of the family members, go to this website, listen and repeat.

Do you like music? Do you have any favourite songs? Maybe we can use them in our classes...
You have probably noticed that I like Linkin Park - "Waiting for the End", "Numb", "What I've done", etc. -, but also U2 - "Sunday, Bloody Sunday", "Electrical Storm", "One" -, Coldplay - "In my place", "Fix you", "Talk" - etc.
If you don't know "Sunday, Bloody Sunday", check this out:

Don't forget that you have until the 10th February to write a letter or postcard to your loved ones - just friends or boy/girlfriend. You can also dedicate a song to the one you love... (Just send the MP3 file to sao.valentim.2011@gmail.com.)
