Home sweet home - André -U1
My home is located in Freguesia do Ó, a neighborhood founded in 1580, being the third oldest neighborhood of São Paulo city. It's a neighborhood full of hills, in the Northeast part of the city, bordering the Tietê river. Due to the geography, my house is located on a hill, near Freguesia do Ó cemetery and Nossa Senhora da Expectação do Ó church, a very old church built in 1901 with a classical renaissance architecture.
My street is usually very quiet and peaceful, so we have a front gate that is just about 1 meter tall. We have a garden with a tangerine tree that is about 5 or 6 meters high, a very old grape tree and a lot of plants around the house. And talking about the house, there are two houses at the same building site. My aunt lives in the house to the front and my parents and I live in the other one at the back (the one I'll describe). It's a small two storey house, it has two bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 toilet, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. We also have a laundry, two garages and a small backyard.
It's a very comfortable home and it has its unique features... for example, we don't have doors inside the house except for the bathroom (for obvious reasons) and my parents bedroom (that is open almost all the time). It sounds like there's no privacy, but I like it because we don't have to bother opening and closing doors. It also feels like we are not alone (not talking about ghost stuff). Its second floor is well-lighted even during the night, because the street lights can be seen through the windows (and I like it). My house invites our guests to feel the house in a different way: There's a table in the wall and a "hole" connecting both the living room and the kitchen. And in the other living room you have to sit on the floor because there's no couch, just a carpet, pillows and a couple of mats. I love the way my house tries to be simple and functional. I feel strange when I see people bothering about having dinner in the dinning room and going to bed before they fall asleep and sleeping in a pitch-black noiseless room. So, that's why my home is special.

Hello, My friends Regiane, Edenise and Elton :D
How are you? I am very happy. Here's an email in English. It's good practice for you and me!
I have classes in English at the statistic and math institute. I am in a class with twelve students. They are all Brazilians , but from different towns. Our teacher's Mr. Furlanetto. He is very funny, crazy (sorry teacher :D) and a very good teacher.
I live far from my family, I live in São Paulo in the butantã district, my parents’ names are nelson and leonice. They are retired. My father has always dreamed of having a large family, so we are thirteen brothers and sisters . I have a big family. I'm the youngest with 25. My girlfriend’s name is Ana, she is 24, she's beautiful, she is a student of medicine at the Federal University of Bahia.
I love São Paulo, but the city is still too large. It is a place of happy people who like to work. I am very happy.
Email me soon!

Dear Eloni,
Are you ok? I’m fine.
Here’s an email in English. It’s very good practice for you and me!
I have English classes at IME/USP. It’s a Language School. I’m in a class with about twelve students. They are from Brazil, but Jelmar is from Peru. Our teacher’s name’s Elton. He’s very funny, friendly and a very good teacher.
I live with my family in a small town, Taboão da Serra. We live in a small house. My mother is a homemaker. My father is retired. My sister is a nurse. My sister’s name’s Elisange. She has a baby, but she isn’t married yet. She is twenty-five. She speaks Portuguese and a little English. I love them.
Taboão da Serra isn’t very exciting. I don’t like to live there. The restaurants and nightclubs are cheap, but they aren’t very good. I enjoy São Paulo. I like to go out with my boyfriend and we like to go to the movie. I like student bars and theater, too. I would like to live in São Paulo.
Email me soon!
Love, Sol.

MY HOME - Simone - U1
I live in Campinas and I have been living with my parents in a wonderful home. We have a two-storey house. It isn’t very modern in decoration but is spacious and comfortable. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and a backyard with a barbecue. It is located in a quiet neighborhood near the mall, bakery, drugstore and downtown. It was my father’s dream in building his own house. We’ve been living there since my twenties.
In my childhood, I lived in a country house. It was a modest house with a fantastic backyard, a green garden and a place to raise chickens. I loved its balcony where I used to play with my friends. Although it was an old house, I miss it. There, we didn’t have any type of security problem, we never had to get worried with locked doors or even locked gates. We had no electric fence or any house alarm. Unfortunately, nowadays we need to protect our home.
At the beginning of this year I was looking for a house to move to São Paulo because I’ve been working at USP. I’d like a place near my job where I could escape the traffic. However, I wasn’t lucky and I couldn’t find any good house. Most of them had cramped bedrooms and sometimes they were dark and cold. Besides, they were very expensive.
Thereafter, I decided to continue in my own home, my ideal place to live!!
