Important Moments

In 1958 in the Sweden, the

largest empire of the football started

to emerge in the world.

The Brazil team won its first

World Cup, with soccer players like

Garrincha, Didi, Gilmar and Zagalo.

BRAZIL BEAT SWEDEN IN OWN HOME WITH ONE ROUT OF 5-2!!.

The leaders of Brazil forgot to send to FIFA the numbering of players to

compete in the competition. The entity then tried to set the number of Brazilians.

By chance, the reservation Pelé received the number 10 shirt and immortalized the

number soon after. Becoming one symbol of talent, technique, artistry and skill

In 1970, Pelé was in its heyday and led

Brazil to their third title in the Mexico Cup (Brazil

beat Italy 4-1 the final), in full military dictatorship

in Brazil, it was used for the militaries like political

marketing and influencing people to close their

eyes to the atrocities of the government and

consolidating the Brazilian football as the world's

best. After that Pele was consecrated as

the best footballer of all time!

In 1994 in the USA,

The Brazil back be winner

again after 24 years, with one

time which have soccer

players like Romário, Bebeto

and Tafarel. The final was

decided in the penaltis, Italian

soccer Roberto Baggio wasted the last penality

by kicking the ball over the goal, after draw the

match (0-0 - it was the unique decision which

finished draw without goals in the world cup) and

taking the Brazilian people to delirium again, after

years of waiting and disappointments.

1950 The last world cup in Brazil, In Front 200,000 fans at the Maracana

Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the Brazil lost the final of the world cup facing Uruguay

(2-1). After scoring the first goal.

The Brazil was

the great favourite and all

the media had given like

right the brazilian win.

Alcides Edgardo,

Uruguay soccer, who

scored second goal said

it was difficult to

celebrate in front so big

sadness and tears which

there had been that

stadium.

At time the president and originator of the

World Cup, Jules Rimet, also commented about what

happened, "The silence was morbid, sometimes too

difficult to bear". The once roaring crowd of 200,000

people stood in disbelief as they were being "stripped"

of a title they had already considered rightfully theirs.

In Brazil many

newspapers refused to

accept the fact that they

had been defeated and

some distraught fans

even went so far as to

commit suicide.

After this the

brazilian team changed

your uniform and never

wore white shirt,

considerate by directory

of the team and fans

unlucky.

1982 in The Spain World

Cup, the Brazil showed for the

world one of the best generations

of soccer players which Brazil

already made (for some people the

best).

Zico, Sócrates, Falcão,

Elder, Serginho, Junior,Cerezo,

Paulo Isidoro, Valdir Peres,

Roberto Dinamite ...

That Team seduced all the

world with called football art,

playing adorable way and very

technical.

But after 4 wins followed,

the team lost the game in the

quarters-finals for the Italy, 3 -2, with 3 goals

of Italian soccer Paulo Rossi and detail the

Brazil only needed a draw.

After this sad day, came the concept

of who wins not always the best and that

nothing serves play beautiful and well if the

result doesn't come, to the evil of Football.

1998 France World Cup, The Brazil

arrived in the finals, after winning the fourth

title in 1994, with Ronaldo "Fenomeno" twice

best soccer player in the world, in the last two

years. The hope of the Brazilian was

enormous, but like a crash or a machine

which stop of work, Brazil lost the match for

3-0, with 2 goals of Zinédine Zidane, until now

the brazilian people don't want to believe that

match really happened of normal way. Was

the biggest rout suffered by Brazil in a World

Cup.

In my opinion "The Shining" is one of

the best movies I've ever seen. Now

the movie is listed among the

greatest Horror Movies.

"The Shining" is a Psychological

Horror Movie produced and direct by

Stanley Kubrick in 1980. The movie

is based on the eponymous

Stephen's King Novel. Three actors

make the main cast of the movie:

Jack Nicholson (as Jack Torrance),

Shelly Duvall (as Wendy Torrance),

Danny Lloyd (ad Danny Torrance).

In the film, Jack Torrance, a writer

and recovering alcoholic, takes a job

as caretaker from November to May

in an isolated Hotel called the

Overlook Hotel. Jack moved for six

months in midwinter with his family to

Overlook Hotel. In the end family is

trapped in the hotel by a snowstorm.

Unfortunately his young son is able

to see things from the past and the

future, such as the ghosts who live in

their hotel. A months passes, while

Jack's writing project goes nowhere

he is increasingly frustrated, start

acting strangely and becomes prone

to violent outburst.

Jack gradually becomes influenced

by a supernatural presence. He

descends into madness and attempts

to murder his wife and his son. He's a

writer and his frustration and his

unsuccessful turn to madness, in

fact, the key of the movie is….:

"Al l work and no p lay makes Jack a du l l boy”

“The best way to learn English outside the classroom”

What's the best way to learn English outside the classroom?...

I can assure that there is no single magic formula.

I've been learning English for years following the progress of the people

trying different methods: grammar, online resources... I think that it's important to

have a balance between online learning, in-person and just general interest in the

language by watching movies and listening to music.

But neither grammar won't tell us what people think and how they think,

nor internet is enough to improve your language skills.

Perhaps one of the best ways to stimulate student's interest in language

learning is by providing a real incentive.

This article could be a good approach as you gave me a range of ways to

publish my writing, for instance money and visibility on the school website.

Once you are told to obtain a premium the effort that you put into the work

will be immense.

You will use your imagination and look for an exciting array of reading

material: newspapers, classic texts, reference books.

I believe that people can create stories, poems and other texts if their

minds and imaginations is fully engaged, so if they have an incentive the results

will be stunning as a result.

Human Monkey

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNW30bLTP0Y

The monkey wears as a wise this round

Takes the soldier’s gun

Kills everyone around

Laughing to the Sun

He takes the attitude without reason

After a deep breath.

Staring someone’s son,

He kills to avoid death.

Now he is the only monkey,

He thought he was the only right.

Now his hands hold a blood sea,

He can’t see how the day is bright.

The monkey is just normal,

As a animal he was human,

As a human he was animal
