2022.1 N7 - WRITING A BLOG POST by Helder Prado https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao Write a blog post about your weekend. en-us 2022-04-27 20:31:29 UTC 2022-05-04 22:45:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3ee.png An unexpected Encounter. Fabiana Matos https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2163412031 I had scheduled to go on vacation to my mother's house. On the day of the flight I arrived before the scheduled time at the airport, when I entered the boarding hall I saw a lot of people wearing a football team uniform, I took a few minutes to make sure it was the Cruzeiro team and that they were going to the same destination as me, Belo Horizonte.

I sat there waiting for boarding, even though I wanted to take a pic with some of the players. So I boarded and took my seat, suddenly two of the players sat next to me, I was freaking out inside of me, but I kept the pose and didn't say any word the whole trip. When we landed in Guarulhos, while the aircraft was taxiing on the runway I couldn't resist and asked for a photo with them even though I didn't know their names using the excuse that it was for my grandpa who is a fan of theirs.

Finally, we disembarked, while I was waiting for the next flight, the boarding hall was filling up with many women wearing uniforms, that's when I noticed that they were from the Minas Itambé Volleyball Team.

A Football Team was not enough on the first flight, then the second flight I traveled with two teams together. It was mind-bloggling.

I wasn't expecting this, at the moment I was worried, but then I stopped to think and I was relieved because I wasn't happy there.

So, on Saturday I came out with my boyfriend and my friends to a party, was packed but we had fun moments.
On Sunday, I woke up late and enjoyed the day, I went to the cinema with my boyfriend,  we saw Morbius, the movie  had premiered last month. 

At the end of the day I was thinking about  the next day work, mondays are so hard, but I remembered I was unemployed. So I decided to take a break to rest and be with my family. This was a really unusual weekend.

It was going to be at my brother-in-law's, Leonardo, house. So we went to buy some lights to put in his garden. Then, me and my sister went to the supermarket to buy the junine's party food. And the boys were preparing the house with thematic stuff.
Suddenly, my boyfriend called me and told me that while he was going to the gas station to get some firewood for the bonfire, he forgot to pull the parking brake of Leonardo's grandpa car. When my boyfriend saw, the car was in the middle of the forest and everyone was screaming to find the owner and telling that there was a child and a dog inside. 
Summing up, the car just went down from the gas station, passed throw a roundabout and then fell in the middle of the forest. As incredible as it looks, the car didn't hit anything, just fell in the end. 
Even so, there was the June Party because we had everything prepared, but no one was in the mood after what happened, so all the guests arrived at eight and left at ten o'clock. Everyone was worried because the car belonged to my brother-in-law's grandpa, which is a very angry person, and if he knew that his car was in that situation with a friend of his grandson, he would freak out. 
So, on Sunday, Leonardo lied to his grandpa and told that was driving the car and forgot the parking brake, that's why his car was crashed. The grandpa got really mad and upset because he really likes his car as original as it looks.
On Monday, his grandpa went to the gas station angry and threatening the employess to show him the cameras of the accident. When he saw that it wasn't his grandson, but a friend of him driving his car, he got really angry and felt betrayed because everyone had fooled him.

Me and my family were getting ready to have dinner at my aunt’s house. My mom had cooked pork the whole afternoon, but when we were about to leave we noticen a diferent smell in the air, and it wasn’t good. When we looked at the oven the pork had burned, we were completely choked, because it was our main dish for dinner. Suddenly my brother had an idea, he started to cut the burned parts of the pork, and he put in the dish he added farofa to give a special flavor. The party started at 7:30pm but we got there around 22:00pm, everybody was starving because they waited for us. Despite the burned parts of the pork it was delicious, and everybody loved it. (Unfortunaly I don't have a pic from the disater that the pork was.)

Alice lives with a friend who is a dancer and in the middle of their living room has a pole dance.  Suddenly Alice and Isabela were playing with the pole dance while me and the other frinds were talking. Imediataly I started to film them with my smartphone. 
Suddenly the pole dance dropped from from the ceiling and Alice fell in the middle of the room. Alice was not hurt, but a piece of the wall broke and the pole almost broke the TV. The next thing was to go to the party like nothing happened. 

João Paulo]]> 2022-05-01 22:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166037524 April fools hirailucas https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166049968 On April 22, a friday, I was planning to throw a party to celebrate my birthday. It was a little bit late, since I was born on April 11, but at the time I wasn't in my hometown, so I wasn't able to see my friends. Here in São Paulo we were having another carnival holiday that weekend, so I was taking advantage of this to put it all together and make a great night. Here was the deal: me and my friends prepared a small sample of our party "Baile do Risca Fada", got in touch with a bar and launched the event. 

But life goes wrong sometimes and in the same night a carnival parade ended up right in front the bar we were supposed to play our Dj sets! So the streets were completely packed and the manager of the bar didn't want to open the dancefloor. He decided just to sell drinks to the people outside. The owner was not there so we are not capable of talking to her, and this leds to a hard discussion between my friends and the manager that starts yelling and saying that not even a playlist we were allowed to play anymore! We packed our equipment, dropped all the stuff at a friends house and gone by walking to any bar that was open with, like, 40 people. 

Then we found this bar that the owner Elaina, omg she was so sweet and funny! She let us connect our phone via bluetooth to her small speaker and the party continued there. A few minutes later, we asked her if we could bring another speaker, bigger and louder and she totally agreed, saying that her bar hadn't been this crowded and funny in a while. A friend brought up a big speaker, Elaina invited a bunch of friends and people starting to invite more and more friends. At the end we were with 4 birthay person and like 100 people there. The party roll until 2am when a police car stopped by, asking to drop the volume down and looking for the person in charge. It was a little bit scary but everything goes fine and it ended up as one of the best birthday ever!

Hirai]]> 2022-05-01 22:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166049968 The wedding clothes https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166708437 Last Saturday my family and I were in a wedding party in Cascavel. Several relatives from other cities went there. My sister and my brother-in-law lived here in Londrina and went to Cascavel in friday. When they arrived in Cascavel, my sister noticed that she forgot them wedding clothes in her house. Quickly, she called to her mother-in-law and asked her to put the clothes in a bus that was going to Cascavel. At the appointed time, my sister went in the bus station to get the clothes, but the clothes weren´t there, and they informed her that the clothes passed straingt through Cascavel and went to another city, Foz do Iguaçu. My sister called to the company in Foz do Iguacu and they told her that were no clothes there. She stayed crazy and called angryly to the company in Londrina, demanding that they found the clothes. Half an hour later, the company called her and told that the clothes didn´t leave Londrina, because the driver forgot to pick them up. 
Well, there's nothing more to do, so my syster borrowed the dress from a friend and my brother-in-law borrowed the suit and tie from my father that unpretentiously had taken two.]]> 2022-05-02 13:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166708437 The day it falls in the waterfall - Isadora https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166969517 Last weekend I needed to be distracted, so my boyfriend and I decided to go to a waterfall near Londrina.
It was a little muddy, so it was a little slippery, but the place was beautiful.
When we got there, we went for a walk, until a tree branch ran through my hair and I thought it was an animal. I got scared and went to try to get out, but I stepped on a wet rock and when I saw it was already on the floor, or better, I had made a kind of "espacate".
Before helping me up, my boyfriend laughed a lot and I ended up having fun, but I was in pain for a week.
Next time, better check the weather before going on a waterfall.]]> 2022-05-02 15:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2166969517 Church meeting https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167189130 On April 29, a friday, me and my sister went to a church meeting with our church group. It was amazing. I’ve met new people, made new friends, and I also had great moments with them. In this church group, we are used to being very musical, so I have danced and sung a lot. This meeting lasted 3 days, on the first day it was more like an introduction to the girls that were new and didn't meet anyone there. The second we had a lot of speeches and moments of reflection. And in the last one, we had a beautiful and deep moment between everyone, where we talked about God and our “relationship” with him.
I loved this experience and I definitely want to go to more meetings like this one.]]> 2022-05-02 18:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167189130 Competition Day https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167315250 I and my boyfriend like to walk by the Igapó lake every Sunday morning. We usually talk and enjoy the nature. In one of our conversations we talked about signing up for a street race.I thought he was joking and I didn't say more about it.
Suddenly yesterday morning he told me: Today we are going to run in a competition in the city of Ibiporã. I looked at him with a scared look and said I didn't believe! He just laughed e said let's go. It will be really cool and no matter what will happens... let's have fun.
Yesterday at five o'clock in the morning, we woke up and went to the competition. Wow! There were a lot of people and we found some friends there.
The race course was five kilometers constantly running. Oh my God! How tired I was! But I loved the experience and even brought a participation medal.
We had a lot of fun and then we went to have breakfast with friends, we were starving. I can't wait for the next run competition, was cool.]]> 2022-05-02 19:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167315250 Mexican Night https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167412272 On the eve of last holiday, April 20th, my friends and I decided to have a party at my house. We agreed to have a dinner with Mexican food and appetizers. All this very excited. And after three days, half of the people who started to show the symptoms of collective flu. Until one of them took the test for covid19 and was positive. most of the people who were showing no contaminating days with the disease, but all of them had flu symptoms and after the episode, they were fine. After passing a that, we learned something so important… ( don't invite people who only have sinusitis symptoms to a party).

I went to class and was anxiously waiting for my weekend to officially start as I had decided to go to a friend's birthday party to enjoy my weekend, so I arranged with another friend to go over to her house as soon as I got out of my class so we could go to the party together.
Finally, class was over and I was able to leave. I went to the bus stop to wait for the bus to meet my friend. When the bus arrived, I sat on the last chair and followed my trip until I heard a very loud noise and when I went to look was happening a shootout between thieves and police on the street.
 Unexpectedly,  I felt a pressure in my body, I couldn't believe it, I had been hit by a stray bullet. I got really scared and started screaming "I got shot, I got shot". The driver stopped the bus in despair and everyone on the bus called the ambulance.
The ambulance arrived in minutes and took me to the hospital. I was in a serious state of health, everyone was very worried, but I was strong, overcome this obstacle and I was fine.
My family and friends came to visit me and helped me get better and, thanks God, everything went well and I was discharged from the hospital. This was really the most unusual and crazy weekend of my life.

A Dark Cross is the name that the Germany soldiers earned when they died in France territory during the World War I. So there we were when suddenly our van broke down and we realize that we got stuck in France in the middle of nothing. So we discuss whats we would do and conclude that some of us would get back to the closest city and would find help while the others waited. 

I was one of the group that stayed in the graveyard. However the ones that went get help, got to long to get back to us. Although I was a little worried I’ve notice my friends were getting worst and scared about the whole situation. That’s when I suggested to play some mimicry. And that was what it happened, we spent some good hours playing it and everything went alright.

Pedro Nassif]]> 2022-05-02 22:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167449318 A different racer https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/ooqmqdlw6s6vogao/wish/2167464781 One day, I was walking in the boulevard at UEL, when I realized some different actions of some people that passed with me on the way, but I keep going…

I saw some people running and to cross faster in one part of the way, but I keep no worries. When out of nowhere, I felt something hit my bag pack. I turn round my head and saw a little monkey with the twig in the hands. I already had listened about the monkeys at UEL, but I never had to meet someone. 

When I realized have some them behind me and this situation was very disgusting, because the other people saw me running them. Today is a story very funny to tell, but in that moment was very awkward. 

ATTENTION: If you have been at UEL and see the strange action on the trees, get out of here and don’t feeding the monkeys, okay?
