"Visual style is learning by seeing. You learn visually whenever you gain information from sight. This includes more than just the viewing of pictures and your surroundings. Visual learning also encompasses the written word"

My results were visual learning styles and I agree 100% with that. When I am studying, I always need do mind maps, take notes, illustrations, charts, diagrams, videos,  I always need to see to organize my thoughts.

“The Way Up to Haven” by Roald Dahl summary

Mrs. Foster had an almost pathological fear of missing a train, a plane, a boat or even a theater curtain. She not considers herself as nervous person but the mere thought of being late would make her throw into a such state of nerves that she would begin to twitch. She is married to Mr. Eugene Foster, who was nearly seventy years old, lived with his wife in a large six-story house in New York City, on East Sixty-Second Street, and had four servants. Mr. Foster, knowing her wife pathological fear like to keep her waiting unnecessarily moments and when she needs go to the airport to travel to Paris, her husband make her waiting and she thought she will get late and miss the airplane. All that short story is about if Mrs. Foster will miss the plane and how toxic is her relationship with her husband. Roald Dahl made an intriguing and amazing short story.

1. The short-story I am reading/ that I read is The Way up to Heaven by (author) Roald Dahl

2. Some information about the writer (place and date of birth; main books; literary genre; influences, etc)

Roald Dhal was born on September 13, 1916 in Llandaff, South Wales, United Kingdom and died on November 23, 1990 in Oxford, England.

3. One of the new words that I learned in this story and that I can use in my everyday conversations is fog. It means a thick cloud close to the ground that makes it difficult to see.
The sentence from the text where I found the word:

“It looks a bit foggy” he said as he sat down beside her in the car. “And it’s always worse out there at the airport. I souldn’t surprise if the flight’s cancelled already” (p. 3)

4. I can use that word in the following sentence (write your OWN example)

I always want stay in bed when the weather is a bit foggy

5. One of the big idea/themes of the short story is:

Mrs. Foster had an almost pathological fear of missing a train, a plane, a boat, or even a theater curtain and her husband keeps her waiting unnecessarily. Mrs. Foster is going to Paris visit her daughter but when she is going to airport, she is afraid gets late to get the airplane.

6. The part that intrigued me the most /least is when… (USE YOUR OWN WORDS): The part that intrigued me the most was when Mrs. Foster was going to the airport and her husband trying she get late and that part intrigued me because I was afraid she miss her flight too.

7. A passage from the book I would like to share with you is “With Mrs. Foster urging him from the back seat, the man drove fast all the way, and she caught her plane with a few minutes to spare. Soon she was high up over the Atlantic, reclining comfortably in her aeroplane chair, listening to the hum of the motors, heading for Paris at last. The new mood was still with her. She felt remarkably strong and, in a queer sort of way, wonderful. She was a trifle breathless with it all, but this was more from pure astonishment at what she had done than anything else, and as the plane flew farther and farther away from New York and East Sixty-second Street, a great sense of calmness began to settle upon her. By the time she reached Paris, she was just as strong and cool and calm as she could wish” (p. 8).  I chose this because I think was a beautiful passage.

8. General comments and opinions about the story :

I really love that story, it’s really good.

This text is an article. The compositional elements are facts, criticism.

II. Answer the following questions:

1. According to the NGO Uma gota no oceano, people that lived in Mariana have been facing different problems.  Can you describe the nature of these issues (social, psychological, etc.)?

Yes, the families affected by the mining of the rural districts are living temporarily in rented properties; also, according the text, “the mud turned into toxic dust and is spreading disease throughout the region”

2. Concerning the Krenak (a community of indigenous people who lived near the River Doce) the situation is even worst. Explain it.

Because the mud have filled the river and destroyed their culture.

3. Although Mariana disaster happened two years ago, it is still a very important subject with remaining consequences. Because of that, the text finishes with a warning. Say what the warning is and then give your own opinion:

The warming is “The only certainty about Mariana is that we should not forget, so that no such tragedy will ever be repeated” and it’s exactly what happened this year in Brumadinho and maybe will happen in the future if the government do nothing to stop all these future disasters

4. Based on the explanations the environment engineers’ lecture gave us, do you think that the government institution representatives and mining companies have done their best to avoid this kind of disaster? Justify your answer.

No, I don’t think so. The companies are more concern with money than environment.
