A beautiful story and a lesson.

This is a song for you.

(The sound is terrible but the intention was really good. Sorry!)

The etwinning project was a great experience because it allowed different countries to communicate through the English language.
Once more, English plays an important role, and with this experience we were able to practise it, expressing opinions, wishes, feelings, and so on...With this project we were given the chance to get to know and show cultures, schools, traditions, among other things.
I've had the opportunity to visualize several articles, all of them about different subjects, each one according to its author's opinion.
The ones that I have enjoyed reading most were about alcohol and another one about inner beauty. I chose the first one, written by Paolo Toscanelli, because of its informative dimension, because it's important to know the danger that it represents to our health. The second one, written by Hélia Alves, aims at emphasizing the singularity of each one of us, because we're all unique and all of us have inner beauty.

Some places leave their beauty and breath imprinted on our heart, mind and soul. I wonder if they recognize us when we manage to meet again.

I think that eTwinning is an interesting project, which gives us another vision of other European countries and it has been a lot of fun to belong to it. I realy enjoy the project, and I do particularly like to communicate with people of other cultures through a unique language. My favourite eT. text belongs to 3 República Checa's teenagers, and it's about the winter in Prague. It's my favourite one because in Prague there is a snowy winter whereas in Portugal I only saw snow just one day and it was just for a few seconds. It's not normal for us to wake up, look at the window, and see a white day. In winter we just see the rain. But there comes the Portuguese summer with its 40 degrees and the holidays. Good luck for everyone and enjoy your sunny days!!

Etwninng gave me a chance to know and to learn something about other countries and their own cultures. This project is also a good means of promoting and motivating the good use of the English Language. My favourite article is: “Our School Profile 2nd Lyceum of Haidari” by Evgenidis Ioannis and Stabologlou Iliana.

The eTwinning project brought me a new experience, allowed me to get to know about things, habits and customs of other contries.
I think that eveyone enjoyed participating in the eTwining experience.
I liked it too because it taught me many things, and it allowed me to know other schools, traditional food, teachers and the ways that these people have acted.

My favourite articles were the ones about Christmas because in that special season we have all the family together and that is very important to me.

The other articles about music and holidays were good too becasuse music helps us express our fellings and holidays are also very good because of the sun, and the fact that we can be with friends….
I liked to see other schools because they seemed to be larger than our own school.

E-Twinning is a very particular project created to approximate different countries and their teenagers.
By exchanging messages, knowledgment, traditions, customs, likes and dislikes, opinions and music, using the same language, English, we get to know better the large community we belong to.

This kind of exchange allowed me to work on my English skills and enriched me very much as a person. It brought me a very interesting new experience and I enjoyed a lot to be part of something like this! It gave me the opportunity to be in contact with students all around the world!

My favourite articles were the ones that focused on the various activities of my school, the medieval fair, European Spring Day, the clubs that exist here and so on.
This is important because when I first came here I didn't like this school but it was the only one that offered me the opportunity to take my studies in Econmics - the career that I have chosen. After some days, I realised that it wasn't so bad, it wasn't bad at all! I got to know a different environment and people. Now I love the time I spend here with my friends and I am sorry I didn't come here earlier!

The eTwinning project was very interesting and being part of it was a pleasure, I enjoyed every minute of it. We had the chance to get to know other people, their likes and dislikes and their way of living, the English language was our means of communicating.

This kind of experiences has a great success among the students because of its light side, at the same time that we were having fun we were also, broadening our knowledge.

All articles were interesting, but the one I liked the most was about inner beauty and it was done by one of my classmates .

Concerning the Teenager's eMagazine, my favourite article is " My Last Summer Holidays" by Natalia Dzierzawiec because I like travelling and I really appreciate being on the beach and visitting some Ruins.

I enjoyed being part of this eTwinnig Project ; )

I Like every article because now I know more about the diferent people, culture and country. these articles help us to have new experiences because we have the oportunity to have a contact with people of diferent country in every part of the world. mostly of this article is about the problems of nowadays and the customs. my favouirites articles are "Italian Christmas Traditions" and "alchol" because at first it show us the diferents customs of the italian people, at second show us de danger that alchol can make to us and how this can modify our behavior.

the eTwining is a great experience for us so we were very happy to be part of this project.

I like these articles because they are mostly Portuguese. In these articles we can see traditions and work groups. My favourite article tells us about alcohol because we can see a danger that we can face. With this experience i was part of this global work learned to see other traditions and customs. The eTwinning project is a great idea for exchanging habits and other ideas with each other.

I liked the etwinning project because I was abble to communicate with other people in other countries and this is very enriching for me because I got to learn new things, for example in terms of culture and customs of the most different countries.

I prefered the article called “The Winter Olimpic Games of Turin 2006” posted by Gessica in Scuola Media “D.Lorenzo Celsi” Italy, because I like sport – any sport – very much. I like watching it on Tv or live.
I folow the events on Tv and I enjoy it because of the emotion and the pleasure sport it arouses.

The e-twinning project (the teenager's eMagazine), was fun because we could share our thoughts and experiences, and at the same time we took knowledge of other students habits, ideas, likes and dislikes, wich suplied a better concept of living in different countries. It's an original inniciative that I think we all enjoyed, at least I did.
In my opinion, one of the best articles, due to it's originality is in the fourth issue, an article named "Inner Beauty" by Helia Alves. Her perspective on this controversial subject was really clear and acurrate.

As Mr Henry For said: "it's the spark of individuality that makes a man different from other folks". Every single one of us has different characteristics from one another, that are shaped, not only by us, but also, and mainly by the environment surrounding us.
We pick up customs, habits, ideals, trends that are brought to us by the phenomenon that is globalization. Trough the media, the web, movies, more often than ever, we tend to get the obcession of becoming like the people we see on them.
By dressing the same way, buying the same things, hearing the same music, people all over the world have forgotten about themselves, about their likes and dislikes, losing their sense of individuality and the ability to create or do something unique that makes them original.
This also happens at school, when the education system forms classes, addressing all their studentes as a single one, ignoring their skills and knowledgement, delivering them the same kind/degree of education.
By that, uncounsciously, schools force their students to deny some of their beliefs, promoting a particular type of person to all of them to adopt.
In the process, everyone is shaped by other people's ideas, ignoring their own state of mind.

It's time to put away the coats and take out the bright colours of the season.
I love the summer time because people seem to be happier and nicer to each other, it's like the sun sends us really good vibes.
After a long year of studying i'm anxious to hit the beach with my friends and nothing like having our favourite ice cream to cool off!
So enjoy the sun, have fun and don't forget your camera, because you'll need it to capture the most special moments and remember them forever!

Man owns his own destiny but...

what can a man do alone...?!
Sometimes we think that we can do everything without any suffering or consequences but in the end we finish as the others...dead!

So live your life and fight for what you want but remember...you're not diferent from the others...only a little more famous

We should all live in peace, and stop making war, it doesn’t bring anything good, just bad things. We should respect each other, regardless of our differences.

The war torments the daily life of people all around the world. We have to say "That’s enough!" and begin to understand that diversity only makes the world a better place to live in.

The belly dance is a type of dance which lets us express our fellings, know better our body and tell every one that the age isn't an obstacle..

I hope you will like it...

I love photography. Beautiful pictures captured and preserved for future memories. I do particulary like pictures that have a beach or the sky as a scenery. I found the colors of the sunset fascinating. It amazes me, being different in different days, places and times.

This picture shows one of Brazil's several beauties. It takes place in Corcovado, once in many, many years.
The great full Brazilian moon stays exactly behind Crist the Redeemer, an event that attracts crowds due to its rareness.

Once I went to France and I found a wonderful village called La Couvertoirade.
It is a medieval place full of memories and History.

Sport keeps us in form and its great fun! Volleyball is my favorite sport..

I think it's a very feminin hobby! You don't need to be aggressive,only with the ball and not with your fellows or rivals...That´s neat! There's not too much physical contact...
Volleyball increases our team spirit because we have to work as a group and not as an individual... Without your partners you are nothing!
I play volleyball in a club and it is very enriching, not olnly as an athlete, but also as a person! We can make good friends and get to know them very well by being dependent on each other each time we step on the field!

I am a striker! I enjoy a lot my sport and every single moment of it...

Take a look! Hope you will enjoy it too!

A look can tell many things. Sometimes it comforts us but other times, it can be very aggressive.
Our eyes define what we are. However, it isn't clear and it confuses us. It's confusing for our heart and head because, when the look tells one thing and the words say another thing, we don't know what to believe in!
I chose this picture in particular because I like eyes very much and it conveys the ideia that we are vulnerable to a single look that may rise either joy or sadness.
They betray me sometimes...but they will always be the mirror of my soul and yours!

There's a place for you to take some rest while listening to a special tune - I believe you can find it within yourself or at least where you call home.

The place for you to relax as you go back home and to yourself.
