It's interesting to find out how children can ask for such simple things...
Just pay attention to what they say!

I HAVE A DREAM...

In this multicultural world we live in it is always worth remembering Dr Martin Luther KIng and his message about treating others as equals. In fact, I think that WE ALL SHOULD SHARE HIS DREAM AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD!

Here is an interesting video that puts together past and present wishes!

As already must have repaired, in all the newspapers of news there is by less news of an accident of car by days. Many people complain about of road Portuguese, of signs of transit, and many other sorry, but a truth is what a more part of accidents are by alcohol, of people with sleep, people with fatigue, people with stress and consumption of drugs. These accidents are in full days with good conditions weather with roads in good condition and travel short.

To me many these accidents are by lack of trial by part of people, doing with what many these fight other without guilt… is truth what many roads Portuguese are in bad state but seen what a majority of accidents are in good roads only left say what the issue of road is a shape of sorry to the offenders.

The miscegenation is the crossing of individuals of different etnias,the mestization. This phenomenon is controversy, because it has people that they consider it positive, other negative.
It has who says that the miscegenation promotes conflicts between people of different etnias, because these people think that individuals of different etnias if do not have to mix, thus finishing for promoting racism.
However, the miscegenation is a positive phenomenon, because it helps the peoples to know different cultures of its. Also it promotes a good environment social, because it modifies the habits and customs, becoming the people most tolerant. In this way the conviviality between etnias makes to diminish racism and the preconception, a time that the mestizos would not have to be racist.
Concluding the miscegenation it just brings positive aspects, because it helps the people to coexist ones the others, becoming each individual a member of the society where if it integrates.

Recycling is the uses to advantage of materials as raw material for a new product. This phenomenon is controversy, because it has people they think that it positive, others think it negative.
It has who says that the recycling is only one loss of time, because she is necessary much time and patience to separate the garbage. Also no money with this phenomenon is not gained, because only the company who uses to advantage the garbage is that it has profits when sell it as a new product in the market.
However, the recycling bring many ambient advantages, nominated when reducing the pollution of the planet Earth, reducing the existing Co2 in the terrestrial atmosphere. Also, this phenomenon is beneficial to the economy, because it reduces the expense in mechanized equipment for the discouragement of the trees, for example.
Concluding, although some negative aspects, the recycling is globally positive, because it contributes for a good environment in the planet Earth.

Since I am writing this post today, I decided to talk about the holiday. On 1st December is celebrated the independence of Portugal. When King "D. Sebastião" died in the battle of "Alcácer-Quibir" in Africa an "D.Henrique" also died without descendance, these was a crisis. To solve this situation, in tomar in 1581"Filipe II" king of spain also become king of Portugal. For sixty years Portugal was ruled by spanish kings. In 1640 the portuguese fought for their freedom an on 1st December they restored the portuguese independece. "D. João IV" became king of Portugal.

So many students say that have very friends, but one true friend is not one day be with you and in the other say bad of you with other person. A true friend are be with you in the bad and in the good moments. They say the options that you made bad. This is for me a true friend.

Hey you guys! How have you been doin'?

Listen, this is important: I have something I would like to reccomend for all of you: teachers, students...

Hi everyone|

Here on CRIA there are lots of blogs showing works and other stuff. From now on, I will try to put on my blog a question to discuss. I hope you participate.

Today, I will talk about loans. Buy things when we have money, or ask for a loan to buy our eccentricities? Payment by instalments?

My father says ''No money, no vices'', and I agree with him. One day, I was in Fnac and I saw a black pergon wanting to buy a ps3 and games. At the end of the coice I heard him saying ''Where may I simulate a credit?'' Should we all buy things to entertain ourselfs by this way? Do you think that the guy made the right thing?

Someone told to my mom that are people that are paying their loans until 80 years!

My family has a nice home, a nice car buyed new and the house and the car were payed by them, without needing do had a loan or pay them by unstalments, and today, my mother doesn't need to be waiting until my father recieves the salary to go to the supermarket.

Some news on television have shown that every time there are more children in institutions waiting to be adopted! Usually these children have more than five years and probably they never will get a new family! And why? The answer is simple, the couples who adopting children, prefer the children who have 2 years or less!
Is it fair to children staying the rest of their lives in those institutions without a "family" of truth? Do not they deserve a second opportunity? We can’t do something to change this situation? I think not because we can’t force people to adopt older children but we can improve the lives of them in institutions like helping in campaigns of solidarity, giving them the opportunities to have a normal life!
All of them deserve!

I wish I could say that discrimination is something that belongs to the past. Unhappily this isn’t true.

In fact nowadays people are still discriminated against for reasons of age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation and social status. This means that any of these aspects can influence on the one hand the number of opportunities that a person has, for example at work, and on the other hand the way a person is accepted and treated by the others.

One of the things that shocks me the most is racism mainly because it is no one’s fault if you were born black or white in some countries there are people who are killed because of the colour of their skin, which is so unfair.

The ideal would be if all the people were respected and accepted whatever their characteristics or options are.

Many people believe that there is no perfect job, but this is false!
For all people there is a perfect job just have find your skills and qualifications.
The perfect job has to match our skills and qualifications but not only the employment have to be something that we like to do!
For me the perfect job involve animals (marine animals of course) or people, can´t always be in the same place because is boring always see the same things and must be outdoors for example close to nature.
I know that sometimes is very hard find the perfect job and this seems an impossible task but I believe if I look with much patience I will find him.
I have an advice for people who go looking for your perfect job: never ever give up because someday they will find it,
who knows your dream job may be just around the corner!
Courage!!!

In the late 1960s, was born, in Jamaica, a new music genre called Reggae. Reggae is based on a rhythmic style, which is normally slow and reaggae song lyrics have many subjects such as religion, relationships,sexuality, love injustice or other social and political issues. There are many singers of this music genre, but the most famous singer of all time is certainly Bob Marley, who revolutionized reggae by adding reggae with blues. Bob Marley belonged to The Wailers, making some reggae hits but the band broke up in 1974 and Bob Marley went to on to an international fame... Bob Marley died in 1981 with cancer, but is recognized as a legend and a Jamaica's icon, and the proof is that nowadays, radio stations still pass Marley's music.

I started English in the 5th grade. I liked learning, the colors, the objects and the number anda I had good marks. But it was only the beginning when I sarted reading texts I had more problems. The marks became lower and the difficulties increased.
Now I am in the 11th grade, my last year of English and it is very difficul to have a positive mark. I understand the grammar rules however my vocabulary is very bad and I don't understand the texts.
I would like to know how to speak English better.....

The distance that separates us
The age that forbide us
The love that I don't know if there is
Why so much anguish?
Why so much prejudice?
You changed, I changed
Everything has changed between us
Is it better?
Only time will tell
What will happen

Betwen jobs, school and extracurricular activities confusing pace of everday life leaves many people little time to plan, much less to prepare healthy meals each day. There are lots of health food choices offered by fast food chains and restaurants. you just have to choose them.
When eating fast food, you should look for meats that are broiled and choose fresh salads over french fries or chips.
To have a healthy live you should balance diet, should a food pyeamid.
You should have at least five meals, and drink water.

With a good diet you will have energy you need to work, to study or to play.

Besides the film trailer, which is great, it's worth exploring the other sections in this page, or even take a look at the author's site, at http://www.andrewzuckerman.com, to get to know a bit more about his work.

From the Wisdom project "The Concept" section:

Inspired by the idea that one of the greatest gifts one generation can pass to another is the wisdom it has gained from experience, the Wisdom project, produced with cooperation from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, seeks to create a record of a multicultural group of people who have all made their mark on the world.

Global warming is a problem, that nowadays affect all of us.

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Our behaviour is making it worse and worse.

If we don't pollute so much, maybe our planet was not in trouble. Many species are in extinction because of us, the climate has changed, our life changed.

So, what should we do to combat this?

Well, small gestures like turn of the lights, when we are not in that room, recycle, walking, instead of riding a car, don't smoke, and other kind of things, can help us saving our planet.
If you want to learn more about this serious problem, you should see "An incovinient truth", by Al Gore.
So, I think that we should change our behaviour soon, and think about it, because our life depends on it!

Being happy is recognizing that living really is good, although there are a lot of challenges, incomprehension’s and crises.
Being happy is to become the author of its own story and not a victim.
Is to be able to cross our own deserts and find an oasis in a corner of our soul.
Being happy is not being afraid of our feelings.
It’s to know how to talk about ourselves.
It’s to be brave when you hear a NO. And have the confidence to receive a critic, even thou its unfair.
Rocks in my path?
I keep them all and one day I will build a castle ;D

I spent five years in a class very special to me, I never forget of how we were united, our games, our classes (in special those of F.Q).
This year when the school starts I felt a little lost without my friends and every day I feel the lack of all them. Despite of see all of them in the interval I do not talk with them because the interval is small, I have days that I do not see them.
I miss my friends very much and I say one thing never but never I forget them and the things that I passed with them.
I love them very much and they are always in my heart.

True friends ploughs those that is here will be everything, they are those that in support them at the moments most difficult, they are those with who we can always count, they are those that in always offer to a shoulder friend to them, they are those one that never in leaves them of speaking and in them they are always to ask if we are well.
I have many friends, many of them are mere known, because in they only ask them if we are well alone for asking and when they need some thing.
I can have few true friends, but the ones that I have are valid for all. :D

I'm loving this school,because everybody is great!!!Especcialy my new friends...I am a very lucky girl because I met really good friends that help when I need and are always there when I need to talk,etc...
Obviously, I didn't forgot my old friends...they will be always in my heart...for me friends are essential,because we spend much time with them and they know ourselves very well...
I would like to thank my new friends for all the support they are giving me and my old friends for had been so good for me all this years!!!

[Fábio,Rita and Sarah...Always in my heart and in my head...I will never forget you!!!]

For some people, the music is more that a diversion it is a style of live. It exist many kinds of music, for example: Rock; Pop; Metal; Jazz; Blues; Classic Music; Alternative Music; etc…My favorite kind of music is Rock.
My favorite Rock Band is Xutos & Pontapés, because they are amazing and their music words are about society problems. However I like other bands, with for example: Tara Perdida; AC/DC; Iron Maiden; Guns ’n Roses; Pink Floyd; Red Hot Chili Peepers; The Clash and Linkin Park. I have many favorite albums, but today I listen the new Tara Perdida’s Album: Nada a Esconder; this album is very good, it have good sound, good songs and good messages.
I love music, in spite of the language that the music is singed. I disagree with people, who have shame of your language and have shame of listen music in your native language.
In Concluding, the music is all in the world, it is art, diversion and relaxation, in my opinion.
