*TV Series: The Walking Dead* - PET A - Project 2010

by Rafael Vichiato

No, this is not another cliche story about zombies that attack the city and the trigger happy hero saves everyone with his never ending gun’s arsenal. In fact, there are zombies and there are guns but what makes 'The Walking Dead' a worldwide success and acclaimed by the critics T.V. show is not a simple adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic book.

The whole drama involving Rick Grimes, a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, goes beyond the usual horror theme it supplies the audience with complex characters and a non-stopping suspense about the survivors’ fate.

When Entertainment world seemed to be dominated by vampire and werewolves a new phenomenon arises, bringing back an ultimate stalker that doesn't care about love affairs or fancy hairstyles. For too long, zombies have been associated to poor productions and bad movies. 'The Walking Dead' promises to bring these guys to life once again.

by Guilherme Andrade

Rugby is a style of Football and started in the United Kingdom.
It is a contact sport, and people who play this game, almost always get hurt. But that is not a problem, because people who play this game, is to fell stronger, better..  and it doesn't matter how many times you hurted yourself, it's always funny !
You may think Rugby is not popular in Brazil, and you're right.. but it's growing !
Rugby was created by William Webb Ellis, because he used to play Soccer, but he didn't like it, the balls were too..  predictable. So he invented a kind of Ball (that is not exactly a ball) that people couldn't have sure where it would go.


That's all Folks.

Obrigada PróLínguas!!

O Pantanal Sul-Mato Grossense é simplesmente maravilhoso. Tive a oportunidade de estar lá este fim de semana e gostaria muito de agradecer a todas as pessoas que colaboraram para que eu tivesse provavelmente a melhor viagem da minha vida. Em primeiro lugar gostaria de agradecer a PróLínguas Escola de Idiomas que me proporcionou e confiou a participação ao 12th Braz-tesol onde se deu o sorteio da viagem que ganhei. Agradeço também a Associação Alumni por ter sorteado esta viagem e ter cumprido com o prometido. Depois gostaria de agradecer à Agência Chão Nosso Viagens Culturais, que o tempo todo me incentivou e correu atrás de tudo pra mim (passagens, reservas, transfer, etc) sem que eu tivesse que me preocupar com detalhes. Parabéns pelo trabalho que vocês têm em incentivar as pessoas a conhecerem o Brasil, afinal de contas moramos num país lindo e nem nos damos conta até ir para um lugar como o que eu fui. A Pousada Xaraés, que foi onde fiquei hospedada, é linda, tem uma ótima infra-estrutura, o pacote de refeições e passeios oferecido é perfeito, tem funcionários excelentes e bem preparados fui guiada o tempo todo por uma bióloga, a Nayara a quem devo agradecer também, pois o pouco que entendo de Pantanal e bichos hoje devo a ela. Obrigada novamente e recomendo todos que mencionei nestas linhas, com certeza estarão lidando com pessoas sérias e motivadas a serem cada vez melhor!!
