Welcome!

Viv would like to welcome Juliana Andrade and Renata Mello, who have just started English courses.

Welcome back!

I'm also happy to welcome back Joana Canalonga, who is continuing to the next level after successfully completing a beginner course.

Good luck!

Viv wishes Lucia D'anton the best of luck for the future. She suspended classes on the arrival of her baby.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to both Joanas (Canalonga - 18th October and Dale - 17th November). Viv would also like to wish a very happy birthday to Marliana (21st November), Renata Mello (4th December) and Juliana Andrade (16th December).

Two of Viv's students celebrate their birthdays in January 2010 - Consuelo on the 2nd and Roberta on the 8th.

Holidays

Viv arrived back from his holiday in England on the 25th of August. He enjoyed himself a lot and will tell you all about it next class. The first day he will be teaching will be on Thursday 27th of August. Please send him a message if you need to delay restarting your English classes.

There will be several long weekends (feriadão) in the next few months. There will be no classes on fifth and seventh of September (Proclamation of the Republic Day), the 10th and 12th of October (Our Lady of Aparcida Day) and the 31st of September and 1st of November (Day of the dead). Unfortunately, this means that Viv's Saturday students will miss classes in the last four months of the year, so try to come for the remaining classes if you can.

Viv's Christmas holiday this year will be from the 21st December to the 4th of January.

Course news

Viv has bought some new books for his student library and the first two students who talk about, and then write a composition on a book they borrowed while he was on holiday will win a book mark.

The top five highest scores in the vocabulary tests in September and back of notebook tests in October will win a beautful English pen, but Viv will calculate the top scores based on how long you've been using your English notebook.

While he was in England, Viv cut out articles on Brazil from British newspapers, and brought 3 papers back with him, so all his students will be doing a newspaper reading activity in the next few months.

Student of the month

The student of the month for this edition of the Newsletter is Viviane Fukugawa. She's a psychologist who started classes at the intermediate level in January 2009. She has worked very hard on improving her English and her progress has been impressive.
