My favourite picture

My favourite picture? It’s a picture of Van Gogh’s room in Arles. There are lots of things in it like a bed, some chairs and a little table. The picture isn’t dated, so I think it’s very old. It reminds me of my bedroom. I love it because it’s quite  cozy. The colours are fantastic, the walls are blue and the floor is white and green and the chairs are brown. What’s your favourite picture?

Celebrating International Women’s Day

The Brazilian women got the vote in 1932. In Brazil, from 513 members of the lower house of parliament, only 72 of them are women. However, Brazil has already had a female head of state: Dilma Rouseff (2011-2016)

Two great achievements of Brazilian women were:

Ÿ the right to vote (Bertha Lutz-1932)

Ÿ the right to be protected from men’s domestic aggression (Maria da Penha)

So women in Brazil haven't achieved the same rights as men, however they have achieved some very expressive things.

Suits

Suits is one of the coolest shows that I ever watched. The basis of this show is a group of lawyers that defend people in many different situations. I think I will like more this show in the future, because if I just watched two episodes I’m thinking that the rest is more interesting. A surprising fact about this show is that Meghan Markle is in it !

São Paulo’s famous buildings !!!!!!

Something interesting about “Farol Santander” is that it was called “BANESPÃO” or “BIG BANESPA”. It was closed for a very long time, but it was reopened in 2018.

What My Family Eats

I live with my mom (51), dad (51) and my sisters (Sophie, 18, and Ella, 13). In my family we don’t like the same things. Some like meat, but others like soup. For breakfast, me and my sisters just drink milk. For lunch, I usually have meat, rice, beans and salad, and every Friday I have pasta for lunch. For dinner, we usually have the same thing that we have for lunch, but sometimes we eat soup. We rarely have our fast food night with hot dogs, esfihas and soda. On weekends we usually eat out. On special occasions like Christmas we usually eat turkey, but I don’t usually eat too much because I don’t like it, I save space for the dessert (ice cream with chocolate sauce).
