Interview about my short story with the Language Inguesa
ResponderExcluirThere are almost twelve years I attend regular school. And then, I have been studying English classes since 5° grade.
unfortunately, I am not well succeed, maybe I should make more effort by my own, but the reasons why I didn`t learn too much was reduced classes and unmotivated teachers I ever had.
Today the only thing that makes me closer to English is the google translator because I can not understand any kind of structure of words, or sentences and texts. Sometimes I understand few words inside the context.

My name is Stéfani, I'm in the last year of high school and have classes in English since the fifth grade of elementary school, usually one class per week. I do not like English because it is a very complicated language and the classes I had until today did not help me, perhaps because it is impossible to learn in fifty minutes per week. The only alternative for those who want to speak English is frequent private lessons and have an interest in learning, because the English in school pulblic is just more one subject in grade school.
ResponderExcluirEnglish in Our Lives
ResponderExcluirI had the first contact with the English discipline when it was studying in the 6th grade in the Public school Antônio Carlos. My domain of this content is still quite weak, but I am trying improving accomplishing several activities and translating some texts in the dictionary and in translating Google.
I believe that English is absolutely essential for our future lives, mainly because the labor market requires a knowledge of this, because unfortunately we are in a country that is not yet well developed, but with the improvement and dedication to learn the foreign languages will be already one greater step than we will be giving heading for a promising future.

One thing that helps me a lot in English classes is that the teacher to mime while speaking in English, as well join the mimic speech in English and can understand the meaning of the word in Portuguese, but I have great difficulty remembering some English words and some rules of English.
Another factor that made it very difficult for my learning English was the fact that from 5th to 8th grades of a regular school the only thing that the teacher "taught" was the verb to be, phrase affirmative, interrogative and negative and high school year only have an English class a week, I think impossible to learn English with only 50 minutes of class.

ResponderExcluirMy name is Maicon Abrantes da Silva, I study English for seven years, but so far I only know a few words I know I could do more but I am not without much encouragement to learn the English language, I think it is because of my early teachers who weren’t worried about students. Outside of English lessons I try to improve my English by watching English movies with subtitles, listen to songs in English and always seek the meaning of same, I honestly just do this to improve my English but still am not very successful, in my opinion, the Government should extend over the teaching of a language which today is so important to the world.

Hello, my name is Maycon Pereira Roquete. Actually I do not really like English, but nowadays it is indispensable, it is present in all places because it is a universal language.
ResponderExcluirWhat I like most of the songs are international, and specifically in English. But I have enough trouble getting to understand them.
The English taught in schools is important for students to have a familiarity with the language when they are acting in the labor market, but I think they should teach music in schools, I think they should have teachers who teach students to play a musical instrument.
I started studying English in schools in the 5th grade of elementary school, and I always try to look at the translations of songs and also try to understand the lyrics when I'm listening. At home I studied when I was usually near the assessments, but I'm creating the habit of studying after school to secure learning.
Most of the time that English study is the textbook that the school offers and the Internet, because the content of the textbooks have usually been explained by the teacher and the internet is very easy and quick to find what you need.
I study alone at home, and sometimes at lunch in school with some friends who also have lunch at school I try to pay attention in English class because it helps a lot to study for assessments.
Hello! Guys.
ResponderExcluirMy name is Caio César Oliveira Rabelo I am 17 years old and I study in IFTM (in Paracatu), I study English since basic education.
It’s nice learn about other language and culture, but the grammar is so boring.
In my opinion the most important activity for a better English is read about a subject of your interest, in my case I read tutorials, “how to’s” and articles, and speak what was been learned, all in English, of course!
Other way to improve my English and fun is watch movies and TV shows in English which subtitles, in this activity I can improve my listen skill, but this activity is not so efficient as read and talk.
Some activities of my routine also improve my English vocabulary, Example:
I am a student of electronic, and to know about electronic component I have to download a text document called “data sheet” and read, in this document all information is in English. Other example is the electronics games, must them are in English.
In my opinion the importance of others languages is in share information which the world for our evolution.
P.S: I don’t make any homework (this explain the bad grammar), sorry. XD
Hello! My name is Anne; I’m in 3º grade of high school. I began the study English in the 6th year in school, with only one class per week.
ResponderExcluirI Always had great difficulty in the matter, I never studied much!
I always try to learn English, although it is very difficult because it is easier to learn a language not their origin. The English language is complicated to learn, because it has many specific rules on how to write the words. I always try to memorize words, how to write and translate them. See film with subtitles in English or even listen to songs in English also helps.
ResponderExcluirI do not study English outside the classroom. During the lessons I try to ask questions and do some activities, and this attitudes help me to develop a little English.
ResponderExcluirSince 5th grade I’ve been studying English, but always It was some matter superficial.
ResponderExcluirIn the primary school l learned the number, name of fruits, greetings, verb to be, times and how to transform phrase affirmatives into interrogative and negative.
Until the ninth grade English wasn’t difficult and I had always good scores.
But at the high school, English classes changed so much, and in a short time my scores decreased .
I study English using Google, books and talk with friends about the matter. I study English about one hour per week
The primary school from nation still is much weak and English little teach.

ResponderExcluirMy name is Carlos Henrique Mendes dos Santos, and I live in Paracatu study in IFTM Campus Paracatu and I'm not a big fan of English, because I have great difficulty in learning, but it is still important to my life.
ResponderExcluirAnd it is very important to study English at school because it is starting a line of study where we learn an introduction to the language and who had served for you to have a better recognition in the labor market.
I'm not much of studying English at home, do the tasks of English when asked, but I watch many movies subtitled hear a lot of international music and play video games with it acquire too many words.
I usually do these activities in groups because some friends always understand a little English so they help with the words you do not understand, sometimes I like to do these activities to be in a group and because many acquire knowledge about language.
I’m Filipe Galvão, I am 17 years, and I live in Paracatu and study at IFTM. I started to study English in the 5th grade of a regular school in 2006. I wasn’t interested in English classes.
ResponderExcluirWhen I started to study at IFTM, I realized the importance of English, although I do not study enough, because I do not know how to study this discipline.
I consider English language very important in the world that we have being living, and it is essential to our survival, however I know just a little about this language and I do not study, I know I'm wrong and will harm me in the future.

I am Pablo Angelus, I'm 17 years old, I am on the third year of high school, I began to have English classes in 5 series, during the entire elementary school I didn't learn English, because I didn't have interest.
ResponderExcluirThe basis that I received in the elementary school was not very good, and I did not triy learn, I didn't have curiosity studying the materials in my house.
I did not learn English, because I do not have the interest of studying at home, and don't pay much attention to what is given in the classroom.
When I get home, I do not study the past content in the classroom, only study on the eve of proof and then forget, and I don't do the exercises.
My name is Gustavo Albernaz, I'm 17 years old and I'm attending the third year of high school. I do not like the study English because the difficulty I have to learn discipline it , which most of them are caused by do not understanding the subject and understand what is being spent in the classroom. These difficulties in learning is due to the fact that in my school my teachers offered me a support capable of provoking in me a sufficient learning or at least an interest in language study.
ResponderExcluirIn my school, the discipline was taught by professionals who pretended that gave irresponsible school students and we pretended we were learning. In many classes students were delivered us lyrics that even I knew what was really talking, and then put the music to play and had to accompany singing in English.
I spent from fifth to eighth grade studied almost exclusively "verb to be" and in a very repetitive, and without at least learn the truth. Now, when I got to school I came across a totally different style of studying the English, studying the structure of language, and many other matters and seeing that knew almost nothing about the subject, and only getting recovery I panicked .
I am a very visual learner, or have to be reading all the time so I can learn, and their classes are not very visual leaving me often lost in what you are talking about. I suggest that she use less the book because the content is very strange and in my opinion is not good, and spend more to use the dynamics even in their classes so that they become more interesting. I do not study at home, do not do the book because the activities are very difficult, but I always try to read and understand texts in English whenever I have time, at least once a week. Because they have no affinity with the discipline does not get along well.
Hi my name is Gledeson Cardoso sometimes I like to study English sometimes I do not, but I guess it very interesting, if sometimes I do not like to be that the times have difficulty in learning, but the language is important for day to day and the curriculum.
ResponderExcluirLearning English in school is important, because one of the best opportunities to learn English is studying in school, because you can form groups and have the teacher to take questions.
I started studying English at the beginning seven years ago I found very interesting because I was speaking another language and I saw that speak that language would be important to me.
I love playing video games, for the times you need to understand that part to pass to the next stage, sometimes I should have more attention and care to understand, listen to music too, when the music caught my attention I look for the translation.
We worry (find???) too much information in books, internet, use of new technologies can help because it facilitates and helps the understanding of language and so you increased your knowledge.
We should study the way in which we feel good and I learned more particularly need someone to study with me, because I can not learn many things alone and group work helps you listen because there many different ideas, and increases the number of words you know.

My name is Álisson Xavier. I like to study English because in today's labor market is necessary to know at least one foreign language, and English is the International language. Its study is a necessity. It is important to study English at school because it ends up encouraging its study and thus facilitating their learning, as you must know more than one language today to be inserted in the labor market.
ResponderExcluirI have been Studying English since I was 11, but only at school. To improve my skills I practice English. Every day before going to sleep try to memorize some words and rules, since they do not have much ability to learn the English language.
In addition to the textbook, whenever I study, I try to have a dictionary in hand, to take any questions. Also use Google translator, although not very suitable for the teacher. But with the facilities generated by new technologies, always feel drawn to do things the easiest possible way, so I use Google Translator at times, but have awareness of what is wrong and try to make studying a little every day. Study alone, but sometimes I ask the help of my brothers. Whenever I have the opportunity to study in a group, I choose this option, because as a group learn easier than studying alone.

Hello! My name is Rony Carlos I’ve had English classes since 5th grade of a regular school, however I didn’t learn almost anything because I almost had no classes and when a teacher was presented she didn’t worry about teaching us.
ResponderExcluirSince I started to study at IFTM, I had an improvement because the level the teachers increased, but the lack basic education the language did much difference, independently the as teachers strive the class do not learn much.
Students can strive themselves, however, English taught in public schools has a low quality. Almost all as I know of English language learned in games and series. I have not worked hard because I have great difficulty.
Yes, because it is important to know another language. It is important to the English in school, because urges us to learn more, and in relation to class, try to absorb as much.
