My name is Ana Luisa Basílio de Castro, I am sixteen years old. I live in Barroso but I study in Barbacena at the Federal Institute. I'm an agricultural technician and I love my course.
The school is like my second home, I love spending my day there. But now we are in quarantine and I'm missing everything, even the things I didn't like so much.
Before I started ERE I didn't use to do many things, just what I liked the most.I watched many series, movies, read a little, played my instruments, studied some subjects that I am interested in and dedicated a little to English and Spanish.  It's funny because sometimes I forget that I know a little bit of English and Spanish and when I hear something in these languages and understand, I get scared and super happy.
I'm managing to do all the activities, but sometimes I get a little desperate with the lack of time and amount of activities of each metter.
I miss the English classes, they have helped me a lot in my learning, I think I have never said this to you in class, but thank you very much! I miss being a bit nervous and anxious about doing activities, especially those games where my competitive spirit was screaming inside me.
I hope everything goes well in this new stage and that we can see each other again as soon as possible. I don't like physical contact very much, but after the isolation I will go out giving hugs to replace everyone I didn't give. Well, that's it and I hope this portfolio looks cool.

The first activity was about "Used to", I did some phrases about what I used to do and what I do now. I think that was easy but I was very shame by my audio speaking the sentences, I had to record several times because always had a child screaming in the street or a car selling something.

The other activity was a listening about a conference in Liverpool. At first I had a little of difficulty to listen because my notebook don´t have CD input, but my friend send me an audio with the content I need. I heard a lot of times because I don´t trust me and needed check my answers. I think I did well, I hope it worked out.

I really liked the olympics, is fun do the excercises. I´m competitive and I think is makes the olympcs even cooler. It makes me sad when I answer wrong, mainly for lack of attention, but it happen and the better is to learn from the mistake and move on.
I have difficulty with the audios because I´m too shame, even more because you  have access to everything.  But I know it will help me improve and unblock me.
I hope this continues to be great and fun!

Okay, I will considerate this like a diary and tell how was my last days.
During the firs week I did almost nothing,  I got busy with MINIONU. It was crazy because now I be with a lot of activities to do and have a short time. But I don´t care because it was INCREDIBLE and beautiful, I´m so grateful to participate this project.
MINIONU is a simulation of UN with international themes to be discussed and solved among the participants.  It was a unique experience that certainly helped me to find my voice and fight for what I believe in.
Well, let´s go to the point, those were my activities and experiences :)

I am trying my best for write this things whitout translate, sometimes I copy the text and paste in translator to confer if I writed right. Please teacher correct with affection :)

This is my audio with the phrases in "Used to".

The time has passed so fast and we where here again... firm but tired.
This was the second PAPR and my activities.

(In Spanish to make a little integration )

# data[].attributes.body
The first activity was a Reading 1 about cultural diffusion. I think I did well, I got do exercises and the reading was fast but I'm not sure why still need your correction.
My mood waiting  for the correction:

# data[].attributes.body
The second activity was a other Reading, but now about Unit 2, "Choosing a Career". Particularly, I liked reading about it more than the other topic, was more fun.
I´m was so confused about who wrote and who Abby was, actually I had no reason to, but my head went to another universe haha
But all right, in the end I managed to do all the exercises.

# data[].attributes.body
In the last year I search some thinks about "Should" and similar things. So, I knew the very basics and when I saw this topic I liked. Since I didn't have much time (MINIONU) I just opened the book and did the activities, I end up not reading about or watching their videos, sorry please. But after, I watched all of them :) Please don´t be sad or angry with me.
I was already forgetting, I think your friend should tell what she saw, because is so bad to stay in an unfaithful relationship and not know it. I don´t know everything that happened, but anyway, I would tell.

For further advice, contact Ana Luisa but do not follow her example. Oh teacher, I´m so trouxa, nor do I tell you

I admit that I wanted write a very big text with several themes and do a power conclusion, but is just a forum, so I calmed down.
I wrote a small text, but I think said what I wanted, I hope it worked out. I never say that the work I did it's amazing or good, because you never know...  although sometimes I'm very proud of what I do.

Sometimes I spend a lot of anger with this robot, but he´s cool. Is the only "person" text me, even if it is to do activity. Some days I forgot about him (sorry dear robot), but he called me and I went to do activities, in the super tired way. I made some mistakes... some because of lack of attention, others because I really didn't know.
I believe that this robot is contributing to my competitive self, I get crazy and super excited when I go well and "win".

I wanted to do some exercises and train my English, but seriously, I'm running out of time and I hate it. I also very ashmed and think this makes it very difficult.
In Wednesday, me and my friend Rafaela try have a conversation in english. Teacher, we spent two hours talking........... but in portuguese (is funny but sad too). Actualy, we spent some minutes talk in english, but who more spoke was Rafa because because I braked and couldn't stop laughing. I understood all of she says, but it seemed I had a barrier in me that kept me from talking.
I think we will do again and I hope it works out, cheer for me.

It´s funny because I already talked to a girl from Poland, the conversation was all in English. Don´t ask me why or how, I don´t know, just happened. Her name is Martyna and she's not a crazy guy on the internet, I'm glad she's not.

As you asked to put more images, I decided to put some memes that express how I was.
I wanted put pictures of myself, but I never remembered to take them and I don't want to scare anyone.
That's it, thank you very much!

# data[].attributes.body
The first activity was about the modal Can. I had to write ten sentences about what I can do and what I can´t do.
I was able to understand well the proposal and the subject, which helped in making the sentences. But I admit that it was hard to find things to put in the sentences, I'm not very creative - only when I was a child. As you saw in the sentences, I can't fly.
But don´t tell anyone, it´s my secret.

# data[].attributes.body
The second activity was about all the modals studied. I wrote ten sentences about the rules of the IF, using all the modals.
It wasn't hard to do the activity, in fact, I hope I did well. But you never know, I'm in expectation.
Actually there was a problem, I couldn't stop laughing at the time of recording. Seriously, it was an attack of laughter. But after many attempts, I succeeded.

# data[].attributes.body
I take back what I said in the last PAPR. The robot forgot me and didn´t send me a message, just when I needed it the most. On Monday he didn´t send me a message, I forgot and didn´t do the activities of the day. I got a little angry, but in the other day I managed to do the delayed activities.
My competitive spirit is increasing with this Olympics. I take very seriously this thing of having someone else with me doing the questions. When I make a mistake and the person gets it right I feel useless, but it happens, right?
But when I win, oh... I feel like the smartest person in the world.
The Olympics is helping me a lot, I realize that I'm getting a better understanding of things, not to mention that I'm more confident in speaking in English.

(mood of how I am with the robot)

# data[].attributes.body
This activity was a listening. I think that´s okay, I got answer all the questions, I hope I did correct.
I took a while to do this activity because I can't use the CD, but one of my friends send me the recording.
I have an coment: Who, in the 21st century, uses a CD? Could have a platform without a CD, it would make it so easy. But I don't know, the CD makes it easier because it is practical and comes with the book.

Hey teacher, whats up?
To the sound of "We Are The Champions" we won another week.
I´ll talk a bit about my experience during these days and how each activity was.

# data[].attributes.body
That´s it teacher! I hope was clear the things I said.
Next week we start again, come on! Strength for all because we will need.
Oh, and you teacher? How are things?

Thanks! See you!

I´m super happy with my progress in english. From the beginning of the year until today, I have realized that I am managing to understand much more. Before, I had difficulty with my listening and needed to listen several times. Now, most of the time I can understand everything, or almost all, at the first try... I just listen again to check. My writing, leaving aside grammar (I don't know many rules), has improved a lot too. Oh teacher, I´m so happy and excited!!!
