Hi teacher! Hi class! How are you?
I'm almost fine...Actually this is not a good moment for me. I didn't pass the exam to become a librarian, I'm looking for a job, but I'm finding only non-payed jobs (that is not a good deal) and even my heart is hurting...But the worst thing is that Berlusconi won the Italian elections and he's our Prime Minister now. I have to run away and to come back to the United States!
I miss you a lot. I saw the blog, it's always beautiful. You are doing a great job! I saw that Samba is trying to send me the chapter of the book that you are reading, but I couldn't get it. I don't know why...
Last Saturday afternoon I went to an English class about how to read in English. It was great to ear a person speaking in English. It made me happy. So if you want to make me happy could you talk with me some of these days? I'm trying to call you this evening (Tuesday morning for you). And if I don't succeed I'll try again and again...I'll succeed at last (just like our song teaches us)!
When are you coming to Italy? I'm waiting for you!
Kisses

Global Warming and We would recycle Electronics for save it…

By
Alberto Ortega Servin

The electronics could do the life more easy to the people but it is necessary that people will find how recycle it because in the past the people didn’t worry about it. how people recycle it so world was more safety in the past already people burnt less petroleum and now the United States have recycled everything but the poor countries will need to find the solution for this situation then the poor countries are the easiest to throw garbage in the hillside and they have threw the garage in the hillside and it is easiest for all poor countries but it is the most danger for world. So we need to worry about how the poor countries recycle it but recycle garbage is money and to save petroleum for all countries.
Another situation is it that all the countries can responsible for global warning because the poor counties have sold the petroleum to the richest countries on world but the poor countries have expended the money in salaries them staff or development then this money had came of the sale of oil of the poor countries so the poor countries have said rich countries are responsible for global warming but the poor countries never worry about how recycle all the garbage now they can worry about it.
In the past many poor countries said to lie or to untruth and they didn’t well for development around world but now it is necessary all the people around world to say truth because we need to save of the world. It is necessary that the poor countries would responsible for their behavior because all people had said the Unites States is responsible for these actions. But the electronics have come for the petroleum and all electronics could recyclable and other parts electronics have been coming of the metals and it is possible to recycle it.
In our life every day the electronic are the most important and there are many different kind of electronic around of world but different company had make different kind electronics how: television, computer, laptops, printer, fax machine, telephones, cellular phones VCR, VCD, DVD players and networking equipment and different kind appliances for the home. Now the companies have different programs for recycle electronics in the United States America. But my suggested is it that in every country around of the world and all rich and poor government, that they have been recycling everything. Before I had worked in this project and when I was lived in Mexico and I had worked in the Michoacán University in the laboratory of the chemistry.
This kind of electronic can make our life easier, to comfortable and communicate the faster around of world and the electronic are used by the people every day in different activities how people use it to talk on the cell phone, to talk on phone, to watch TV also people have use of the computer for to move satellites and a lot of machineries move to use for electronic and people have been using of the electronics and it hadn’t exclusive in medicine and sciences. Also for the Scientifics use to the electronic every day and the electronic could make the easier the sciences and other activities our life.
People need to help the world because world need to save because it is our home but all people haven’t been thought of the same way and the people will have needed to more education for save it. Also poor countries will have needed more programs for save it. This is recommendation for save the planet.

News from Cris

Hi everyone!

As you know, I'm already in Brazil. A day before I come back, I went to Alcatraz. I loved to know that place. I appreciated to go and see places filled with history. I felt sorry for those who were there stuck, seeing the freedom through the windows. I think that was a torture. It was worse than staying in an ugly place. That place should be a hotel or something like that. It'd rather be an entertaining place than a prison. This is my point of view, of course.

Changing the subject, my trip was tiring but fortunately everything was fine. I arrived on Sunday in the afternoon. So, this is it. Let's keep in touch. Bye, bye. Cris

Saying Good Buy!

Hi dears,

These last days have been so busy. I was involved with buying stuffs ordered and with souvenirs as well. I was also packing my things and using my imagination to find out which souvenir I should by for each member of my family, friends and students. It's been tiring what I've done lately.

I feel so sorry I couldn't go to the theater with you yesterday. I arrived home at 07:25 pm and realized that you had already gone. As I said, I was buying something. But today, before the afternoon class finished, I'll go to the school to say good buy to you. So, see you around 3:10 pm.

If you want to keep in touch with me, my e-mail and messenger is: cristiane2605@hotmail.com. Send me a message using "room 101" for me to know that you were my classmates. And if you are able to use the skype, my name in there is " brasildasgerais". Ok? Please use the same message " room 101" for me to accept you in both devices. Cris

PS: Teacher, the site I told you that it's really good to learn Spanish is: www.mansionspanish.com . All right? Thanks in advance for everything. Cris

My last weekend in the bay area!

Hi everyone!

On Saturday I went to " Six Flags" amuzement park. It was pretty good. I had lots of fun. And on Sunday I watched movies all day long. I felt like saying good bye to my brother, to my friends, to the teacher, to the classmates and to the bay area. I am already missing all of you. I had a wonderful time last month and I could really recharge my batteries to work more when I will come back to Brazil.

Next Saturday, on April 5th, in the morning, I will departure to my country. But I will go feeling that I had enjoyed as much as I could. Everything was amazing. So dears, this is what I have to tell you, nothing much, but the truth. I will keep in touch with you when I will be back to Brazil. And I will also share the news and the culture with you. See you then. Bye, bye. Cris
