What to expect when you study English?<br />
I have been thinking a lot about this question, specially when it comes to a student who is<br />
studying their first weeks at The House School. Students normally expect not to have any kind of<br />
difficulty whatsoever, but we all know that that is not true. Each stage you reach brings us new<br />
challenges and we feel that we don´t have what it takes to overcome such challenges. That´s<br />
why we invited some of our advanced students to give some advice on how to make your course<br />
easier. Also, just to show you that The House course really works, two students will talk about<br />
their experiences abroad – and how The House helped them through the adventures. Studying<br />
is important, and we have easy ways to do it! Students from Sertãozinho are here telling us about<br />
their favorite movies.<br />
Learn about Valentine´s day in this edition of The House News! Learn about important events<br />
that happen in June! Participate in The House News by writing about your experiences with the<br />
English language! The House News is your news tabloid, and it is also a good way to study some<br />
English! See you in classes!<br />

Travelling<br />
E u r o p e<br />
“In February, my Family, my friends and I traveled for 14 days and we had the opportunity to visit many countries in<br />
Europe. First we went to Paris and visited many sights like the Eifel Tower, the The Notre Dame Cathedral, many<br />
gardens and museums. Then we went to London and visited more famous places like the London Eye, the Queen's<br />
Castle, more museums and gardens, the Big Ben and a church before continuing our journey.<br />
We ended our trip visiting Amsterdan city in Netherlands, which is an extremely beautiful city with its flowers and its<br />
navigable channel, not to mention the big amount of bicycles. Having the opportunity to travel abroad made me<br />
realize the necessity of speaking English. Now I realize the importance of the language in my life.”<br />

In the kitchen<br />
Chocolate<br />
avocado cake<br />
This indulgent, fudgy vegan bake is topped with a rich<br />
frosting - you'd never guess that it's free from dairy,<br />
eggs, wheat and nuts<br />
Prep: 30 mins<br />
Cook:25 mins<br />
Level: easy serves 12-16<br />
Ingredients<br />
For the cake<br />
a little dairy-free sunflower spread, for greasing<br />
1 large, ripe avocado (about 150g)<br />
300g light muscovado sugar<br />
350g gluten-free plain flour<br />
50g good quality cocoa powder<br />
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda<br />
2 tsp gluten-free baking powder<br />
400ml unsweetened soya milk<br />
150ml vegetable oil<br />
2 tsp vanilla extract<br />
For the frosting<br />
85g ripe avocado<br />
flesh, mashed<br />
85g dairy-free sunflower spread<br />
200g dairy-free chocolate<br />
Chocolate<br />
70% cocoa, broken into chunks<br />
25g cocoa powder<br />
125ml unsweetened soya milk<br />
200g icing sugar, sifted<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract gluten-free and vegan sprinkles,<br />
to decorate<br />
Method<br />
1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease 2 x<br />
20cm sandwich tins, then line the bases with baking<br />
parchment. Put the avocado and the sugar in a food<br />
processor and whizz until smooth. Add the rest of the<br />
cake ingredients to the bowl with 1/2 tsp fine salt and<br />
process again to a velvety, liquid batter. Divide<br />
between the tins and bake for 25 mins or until fully<br />
risen and a skewer inserted into the middle of the<br />
cakes comes out clean.<br />
2. Cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn the cakes onto<br />
a rack to cool completely. While you wait, start<br />
preparing the frosting. Beat together the avocado<br />
and sunflower spread with electric beaters until<br />
creamy and smooth. Pass through a sieve and set<br />
aside.<br />
3. Melt the chocolate, either over a bowl of water or in<br />
the microwave, then let it cool for a few mins. Sift the<br />
cocoa into a large bowl. Bring the soya milk to a<br />
simmer, then gradually beat into the cocoa until<br />
smooth. Cool for a few mins. Tip in the avocado mix,<br />
icing sugar, melted chocolate and vanilla, and keep<br />
mixing to make a shiny, thick frosting. Use this to<br />
sandwich and top the cake. Cover with sprinkles or<br />
your own decoration, then leave to set for 10 mins<br />
before slicing. Can be made 2 days ahead.<br />

Pittsburgh, mid-1950s. Troy Maxson is a sanitation worker,<br />
working a shift with his best friend Jim Bono. Troy has been<br />
happily married to Rose for 18 years and they have a teenage<br />
son, Cory. Regularly popping in and out of their lives is Gabe,<br />
Troy's brother who suffered brain damage while fighting the<br />
Japanese in WW2, and Lyons, Troy's 34-year old son from a<br />
previous relationship. Troy was a baseball star in the late-1930s,<br />
playing in the Negro League, and still bears a grudge for his not<br />
being able to play Major League Baseball. He projects this, and<br />
other experiences, onto everyone around him, particularly Cory,<br />
who has the potential to be a football star. More than just<br />
influencing Cory's career prospects (adversely, it appears), Troy<br />
has a larger-than-life impact on the lives of everyone around him.<br />
Culture<br />
English Idioms<br />
It´s raining cats and dogs<br />
= It is raining heavily = There is a heavy downpour<br />
You may have heard the expression<br />
“It’s raining cats and dogs” and<br />
wondered what it means.<br />
When someone uses this English<br />
idiom, it means that it is raining very<br />
heavily. That there is a downpour<br />
(heavy rain).<br />
Oh course it has nothing to do with cats,<br />
dogs or any other animal falling from<br />
the sky. It’s just an idiomatic expression<br />
that started a long time ago (nobody is<br />
exactly sure how it started) and it<br />
continues to be used until today.

The exchange programn of your dreams!<br />
I have been in United States since January 2017. Planning my exchange program wasn't an<br />
easy task. I had many doubts along the whole process: “Where to live?” was my first question!<br />
New Zealan, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada. I ended up choosing to live in the US, San<br />
Diego/California, since the weather is pretty similiar to what we have in Brazil.<br />
“How long should I spend there?”: I had planned to spend 53 days, I've met wonderful<br />
places, incredible people from all over the world. For my surprise, 53 days was not enough, so I<br />
decided to stay longer!<br />
“Where to study?”: I'd searched through the internet to find out about the best methodology<br />
and cost/benefit. So I found a school called Connect English, which, by the way, is similar to<br />
The House School!<br />
“Where to live?”: I've chosen a fraternity where I live with 7 other students. In this house<br />
there are girls from different countries such as Japan, Brazil, Russia, Turkey and Kasakhstan. I<br />
mean, many different cultures in just one place! Through sharing, it was inevitable not to fall in<br />
love with the experience!<br />
The trip: I left Brazil and in New York I had to get across the frightening Immigration – that's<br />
when things got off the track! When asked about what I would do in the US, I said I wanted to<br />
study English. I don't know why but after this I was sent to a small room, for a second interview!<br />
My body was all shaking at this time, I was completely scared!! Fortunately, they just looked<br />
through my documents and I was released from the place – I was relieved!! Because of this<br />
delay, I missed my flight to LA, but I was set to another one without any problem.<br />
I've been in San Diego for 3 months and the immersion is helping a lot to understand and be understood. It's pretty<br />
tough at first, but things start working out fine as the days go by! The classes at The House were essential for my<br />
survival! Our school does prepare us for the real situations in a foreign country! If you're also willing to go on an<br />
exchange program, start planning now!! “Distance between a dream and the reality is called discipline”.<br />
knowing our students<br />
Working in Nestlé S.A with Roberta (...)<br />
Daiane Bispo is 28 years old and is still living in th US! Way to go girl!!<br />
Hi guys!! I'm Roberta and I'm 26 years old. I've been working at Nestle Business<br />
Services in Ribeirão Preto for 3 years. Nowadays, I'm a Junior Analyst at the<br />
Human Resources, an area called “Hire to Retire”. My section is responsible for<br />
taking care of the employee's life, since the hiring process until the retirement or<br />
resignation. The process end-to-end is basically the following steps: personal<br />
administration, updates, benefits, Training & Learning and Contact Center.<br />
In one of my last experiences, I was part of the Training & Learning Team and had to manage<br />
online courses, presential courses, trainers, evaluations and tests in a global Nestlé platform, making<br />
reports, organizing the employee virtual dossier of training. Also, I had the opportunity to be the point of<br />
contact to Mexico and Chile. Today, I'm part of a mission aimed at a methodology of<br />
Partnership with Markets called “Total Service Quality”, a model developed to<br />
emphasize the continuous improvements in the processes, bringing added value to our costumers.<br />
It's worth saying that I identified myself a lot with projects and changes of Mindset. I confess that each<br />
new challenge not only brings me professinal development but also personal improvement, where the<br />
abilities required (for example excel) results in a healthy competition.<br />
Besides this, in a multinational where the processes are more globalized each day, it's inevitable that<br />
we don't bump every day with the English language. During calls, company policy, trainings, etc, it's<br />
essential to understand and speak very well! With no doubts, we can understand processes easily, just by<br />
training. However, abilities which are long-term acquired, such as speaking a foreign language, and<br />
which depend on the dedication of each one is very valued by the companies. These people can be<br />
checkmated in decision-taking or in fierce selective processes.

English, girls!!<br />
: In the speaking classes, you<br />
interact with friends from your<br />
level! And practice what you've<br />
learned in the chapter classes.<br />
The learning process starts in<br />
the chapter classes, where the<br />
structure will be memorized!<br />
Interaction is essential when<br />
learning a second language. It<br />

Some o four advanced students are giving you some tips and hints on how to boost your<br />
course at The House school and make the very best o f it! Read what they said and put their<br />
suggestions to work for you! The benifts are sure to come!!!!<br />
Bruno Pignoli Barcelini,<br />
26 - Shin<br />
I'm an Industrial Engineer and I finished the post-graduation in Safety Engineering. I work at<br />
Paletrans Equipment in Cravinhos. I like the atmosphere of the school, and every week I learn<br />
new things and new expressions. The teachers are attentive and they help me in everything<br />
that I need. The pieces of advice that I can give to reach the high level are:<br />
1 - You must practice the MNEMOTECHNIC steps; 2 - Participate in the classes and try to<br />
speak as much you can; 3 - The Show Off Class is important too!!! Because in your job you<br />
may receive the visit of a foreigner and it will be important to you to know how to explain<br />
your job in English. You should participate in the Show Off Class, despite the shyness. 4 -<br />
When you finish the Chapter classes, it will be necessary to keep studying! You can listen to<br />
podcasts, watch videos in English with subtitles in English and in the classes; 5 - You must<br />
keep speaking as much as you can!!<br />
“I'm an IT Support Analyst at CT Informática. When I started the course in February of 2016, I<br />
had just a basic level of English. That was basically what I had learned in the last school, and<br />
the English that I've got watching movies and playing video games.I noticed that I have<br />
improved my English during this time and I owe it to this school, which has a funny and very<br />
immersive environment and also to the teaching method that really works. The stories of the<br />
chapters hold the attention of the student and it is a good way to show the content that will have<br />
already been assimilated for the grammar classes, even if you haven't noticed it yet. And I'm<br />
seeing the efforts of the school to improve the study methods even more with the chapters in<br />
the student´s portal, what I think is very important because nowadays when you are busy all the<br />
time, you can go to the portal and study a little when you get a free time. And also the video<br />
classes of the chapters that students will have access before the class at the school, so they can<br />
be even more prepared. Even if you think you don't know anything about English, if you study<br />
and follow the methods, certainly you'll see your evolution quickly.”<br />

"My dream was to learn English. At my age, 68, I believed that this dream would still be<br />
possible. At this moment, it is very gratifying to realize that this goal is being achieved by me.<br />
Now, I finished The House steps and what I enjoy most besides continuing to practice the<br />
English language is the coexistence with the school staff: receptionists, teachers and students.<br />
The affection of everyone, the smiles, the interest in meeting our learning needs are evident in<br />
every class of the school. The attractive method used by this educational institution prevents<br />
the students from having the tiring routine of a repetitive and boring class. Among the many<br />
advantages, the best I think fits the diversity of schedules and the possibility of scheduling<br />
classes according to my needs and available time to still have contact with all the teachers and<br />
students. These motivations lead the student to expand knowledge and make new friends.<br />
This is very interesting. I like it. Some advice for the students: train a lot, have goals at each<br />
stage, do not be afraid to ask and clarify doubts.”<br />
“What I liked most was that all classes were with different people, what doesn't let me<br />
remain in my comfort zone. My advice is, take all your free time to listen to something<br />
in English, think in English and study hard for that!”<br />

“I have finished all books and what I liked the most was the high creativity of the author…<br />
those stories! There is a rich environment with well-constructed characters… it catches our<br />
attention. Moreover, it brings you the usage in a natural way with the grammar issues that you<br />
are learning, as well. Besides that, to improve your English level, after the Chapter classes,<br />
come back to the book and its Chapters to memorize the knowledge you have gotten. Finally,<br />
have a lot of Upgrade classes whenever you can. Good luck!!!”<br />

International Youth Day has been celebrated in many<br />
different countries of the world on the 12th day of August, as<br />
agreed on by the United Nations on 1999. The people of South<br />
Africa, however, celebrate the date on June 16.<br />
This is so because on June 16 of 1976 a series of important<br />
protests began in the township of Soweto in Johannesburg that<br />
resulted in the deaths of hundreds of young people who were<br />
fighting for the right of learning in English.<br />
In 1974 a decree was passed that forced all black schools to<br />
teach their students certain subjects in Afrikaans, a language<br />
that neither the teacher nor the students were fluent in. This<br />
caused the alienation of black students from subjects as<br />
Mathematics, Arithmetics and Social Studies, leaving them only<br />
with effective studies of home crafts, wood work, metal work,<br />
agricultural work, etc.<br />
Students from several schools in Soweto went on strike and<br />
organized a group, the Soweto Students' Representative<br />
Council, to decide what should be done about this. They<br />
believed black students should have the same education as<br />
white students.<br />
On June 16, between 10.000 and 20.000 black students of<br />
varying ages marched from their schools to the Orlando<br />
Stadium, but found that the police had barred their intended<br />
route. The organizers of the march asked the students not to<br />
provoke the police, and they proceeded through another path.<br />
After the students had arrived near Orlando High School, the<br />
police assaulted them with a dog, which was killed by the<br />
protestants. The police then began to shoot directly at the<br />
children. Among the first dead were students as young as 13<br />
years of age.<br />
The hospitals were filled with badly hurt children. Doctors<br />
refused to give the names of the protesters to the police, to<br />
protect them.<br />
To this day, education remains one of the most efficient ways<br />
to elevate a country. Fighting for a better education is the only<br />
way to conquer a better future.

Happy Anniversary,<br />
Ribeirão Preto!<br />
The area where Ribeirão Preto is now located was once<br />
inhabited by native people who hunted and gathered. Up until<br />
the XIX century, the Caiapós were the only residents of the<br />
region. However, after much of the gold from Minas Gerais had<br />
been taken, people started coming down in search of land for agriculture.<br />
Ribeirão Preto used to belong to the city of São Simão, and was not a particularly rich place at first.<br />
A big step in our emancipation was the coming of the Mogiana railroad, which allowed the coffee<br />
cultivators to sell their products more efficiently and brought Ribeirão much profit.<br />
The official date of Ribeirão Preto's anniversary (June 19th) was only decided a century after the<br />
creation of the city, and it celebrates the creation of the Parish of São Sebastião, the protector saint<br />
of the city.<br />
Today, Ribeirão Preto is a modern city with many options of business and entertainment. There are<br />
4 different shopping malls, a variety of bars and clubs, and some theaters as well. People from all<br />
the regions often come to spend the weekend here.<br />
There are also many people who seek Ribeirão Preto to get a higher education than they could<br />
have access to in their own towns. Ribeirão is home to several universities, including a campus of<br />
Universidade de São Paulo, one of the most renowned universities of Latin America.<br />
Some of the most visited places of the city are Teatro Pedro II and Pinguim Chopperia. But don't<br />
think these are our only attractions. Nowadays, there are many craft beer breweries all over town,<br />
many options of good food and cultural events.<br />
What are your favorite places in Ribeirão Preto? What do you enjoy here that is different from other<br />
places? Where would you take a friend on his/her first visit to the city?<br />

W hat is your favorite movie and why do you like it?<br />
Anderson Augusto Polegato<br />
“Fight Club is a movie with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton and it tells the<br />
story of a man that is facing a lot of problems in his personal life and a<br />
mysterious Fight Club helps him to face his problems. I like this movie<br />
because something unexpected is always happening when you don't<br />
expect it to happen.”<br />
Wancley Santos<br />
“The new Power Rangers movie is my favorite one. It has<br />
brought back all the good sensations I used to feel when I was<br />
little and it's special because I never felt this way with another<br />
movie before.”<br />
Graciele Cássia de Sousa<br />
“I don't have a favorite movie but I have a favorite TV show. I started<br />
watching some episodes of “Arrow” and its story is about a man that<br />
wants to make his city a better place by fighting against evil. Although<br />
he does get it wrong sometimes, he worries and wants it to be safe.”<br />
Gabrielle Piati<br />
“My favorite TV show is “Grey's Anatomy” and I like it because its<br />
about medicine, hospitals, surgical things – and these are things I<br />
like too. The story may be sad in many moments but it is so good! I<br />
love to look at the doctors working in the hospital and it inspires me<br />
to work in this area too.”<br />
Laura Battaglia Ferrancini<br />
“I am a student. My favorite movies are the Harry Potter ones. I love these<br />
movies because the entire universe of Harry Potter is very different from the<br />
other types of movies and that's why I love to watch them.”<br />
Jennifer Alves<br />
“My favorite movie is “Ever after”. I like this movie<br />
because the interesting thing about it is that it tells a<br />
different version of the “Cinderella” tale.”<br />
Adriana Batista da Silva<br />
My favorite movie is “Moana”. This movie is about a polynesian girl<br />
and it tells a story about when she was little and the ocean chose<br />
her to restore the heart of the “Tefidi”, polynesian goddess of life.<br />
For this, Moana has to go on one adventure with Mawe, the<br />
demigod responsible for all the trouble in first place. I like this<br />
movie because besides all her family wanting her to stay on the<br />
island and rule her people, Moana is discovering her personality<br />
and chasing her dreams.”

Valentine's Day in Brazil<br />
Valentines Day, which celebrates and honors love, is celebrated on 14th<br />
February in many places. A special day dedicated to love and lovers is<br />
observed in many countries; however, the dates vary depending on the<br />
customs and traditions followed in those countries. Valentine's Day in<br />
Brazil is the time for couples to celebrate their love for each other by<br />
exchanging gifts, cards and flowers among other things.<br />
It is not uncommon to find couples in Brazil coming up with their own ways of commemorating this day. Valentine's Day in<br />
Brazil is not celebrated on 14th February, rather similar celebrations known as Dia dos Namorados (Day of the<br />
Enamored) are held on 12th June. Grand parties, dance, music, delicious foods are some of the important elements of<br />
celebrating this day in Brazil.<br />
Dia dos Namorados, akin to Valentines Day is celebrated not just by married couples, but even unmarried couples<br />
celebrate it in a grand manner. Couples prefer to do something different for their partners and surprise them with their<br />
lovely gestures. One way to surprise your partner can be by sending him messages throughout the day. After he gets a<br />
few messages, he will spend the whole day in eager anticipation, waiting for your message. How you celebrate the day,<br />
whether you are in Brazil or in any other part of the world, are entirely your choice.<br />
Valentine's Day Traditions in Brazil<br />
In Brazil, Dia dos Namorados is celebrated the eve of Day of St. Anthony. Known as the Marriage Saint, he believed in<br />
bringing good fortune on marriages, so this day is celebrated on a grand scale. Celebrations in Brazil consist of lavish<br />
parties, stunning costumes among other things, and commemorating Dia dos Namorados is no exception to this<br />
tradition. So, throwing in a huge party where family and friends are invited, and by buying gifts for your beloved is one way<br />
of celebrating this day.<br />
Single women perform a ritual known as Simpatias on this day, to find a good boyfriend or husband for themselves. The<br />
day is also celebrated with the exchange of love messages in the form of figurative objects among couples, both married<br />
and single. The figure and silhouette of cupid is popularly exchanged by couples, with each other on this day. Exchange<br />
of greeting cards among couples is another tradition, associated with the Valentine's Day celebration in Brazil.<br />
Around this time if you are traveling to Brazil with your beloved, you will find that shopping malls are crowded with people<br />
looking to buy gifts for their sweetheart. Make sure that you buy the appropriate gift and if you cannot go to the shop due<br />
to some reason, you can even try out online shopping. There are numerous options, when it comes to online shopping<br />
and you also get home delivery of the gifts.<br />
There are various traditions associated with celebrating Valentine's Day. If you want to celebrate the day in a different<br />
way, traveling to Brazil with your partner might be a good idea. There, you can celebrate the day in the traditional way,<br />
observed in that country.<br />
Happy B-day June!!!<br />

Social project<br />
Did you know that Mestre Bimba was<br />
one of the greatest fighters in Salvador?<br />
In 1930,Manoel dos Reis Machado challenged all the fighters from Bahia and said that he would beat all of<br />
them with his Capoeira. At that time, Bimba brought back to capoeira the idea of fighting, because it had been<br />
lost with the folklore surrounding the art at that time.<br />
Bimba and his students used to participate of events to show<br />
the efficiency of Capoeira Regional. Then, they normally won<br />
every fight by K.O.<br />
Despite the attack side of this fight, no one was never hurt<br />
inside Bimba's school,cbecause there were many principles<br />
and traditions , which are, by the way, followed until today.<br />
Some of them are:<br />
Ÿ Respect the physical and moral integrity;<br />
Ÿ Respect the Master and show discipline while practicing;<br />
Ÿ Take care of the security of the other practitioners.<br />
Clip from a paper, circa<br />
1930. It says: ‘‘It is not<br />
easy to figh a capoeira<br />
player’’.<br />
For this uprising in capoeira, Mestre Bimba has been pointed<br />
as the greatest Capoeirista of all times, and won many<br />
homages after death, such as “Dr. Honoris Causa”, given by<br />
Universidade Federal da Bahia recognizing Mestre Bimba as<br />
a real educator.<br />
The challenge of Mestre<br />
Bimba released to all the<br />
fighters of Bahia.<br />
Luta Regional Baiana is an example of union and harmony<br />
Sports in general bring<br />
athletes together in a spirit of<br />
union ad harmony. But very few<br />
sports can do that like our<br />
Capoeira regional does. First,<br />
because the methodology<br />
developed by Mestre Bimba<br />
allows the practitioner to use<br />
his/her natural skills to find<br />
his/her way through the “jogo”, as<br />
we call it. Second, because you<br />
constantly need your partner to<br />
develop the skills you consider<br />
necessary for yourself. A very<br />
good example is our “roda<br />
mensal”, that happens every first<br />
Saturday of the month. It´s our<br />
time to measure how effective<br />
our training routine was, and how<br />
much we are evolving. But it´s<br />
also an opportunity to meet our<br />
friends, and those we barely see<br />
during the training sessions!

Barons of Ribeirão Preto<br />
Sports<br />
American Football<br />
Barões de Ribeirão Preto – Barons of Ribeirão Preto is the third team founded in the<br />
countryside city of São Paulo, created to improve the level and diffusion of<br />
American football in the region, with the intention of getting to most Brazilian<br />
championship finals. Its name came in honor of the nostalgic times of glory in<br />
the city of Ribeirão Preto, when it was dominated by the “Barões do Café” and<br />
their vast farms which surrounded the whole town.<br />
The team had its foundation in the first semester of 2014 but had its real<br />
formation in November of the same year. With the hardwork and<br />
determination from the players and help from friends and families, the Barões<br />
hosted many events, sales of pizza, raffles, mugs and an infinity of things to<br />
gather the necessary money to buy the equipment.<br />
In the second semester of 2015, the team managed to acquire all<br />
necessary protection equipment, and now goes on training hard to start<br />
competing for its first friendly games, and preparing to, in the future,<br />
join the league of American football – American football League of<br />
SP. The goal of the team is to bring the attention of the country back to<br />
our city, just like the “Barões do Café” did with their coffee plantations,<br />
but this time with our dearest American football!

FUN<br />
English JOKE<br />
" A Hippo Orders a Drink"<br />
Humor in Britain often uses "understatement",<br />
as does this joke. It starts with a very large<br />
animal (a hippopotamus, or "hippo" for short)<br />
going into a coffee shop, a very strange idea,<br />
isn't it? When the waiter tries to cheat the big<br />
hippo, we naturally expect a big response.<br />
One hot day, (1) a hippo went into (2) a café, sat<br />
down at a table and (3) ordered a large glass of<br />
orange juice with ice. (4) The waiter was very<br />
surprised to see a hippo, and to hear it talk, but he<br />
got it the glass of orange juice with ice. The waiter<br />
thought the hippo knew nothing about money, and<br />
so, when the hippo gave him (5) a five pound note,<br />
the waiter gave him just one pound in change. “I<br />
hope you enjoyed the orange juice,” said the<br />
waiter. “We don’t often (6) get hippopotamuses in<br />
here.” “With orange juice at four pounds a glass,”<br />
said the hippo, “ I’m not surprised.”<br />
(1) a big animal from Africa with a very big mouth<br />
and small ears, (2) a small restaurant where we<br />
can drink coffee or other drinks, (3) ask for food or<br />
drink in a restaurant, (4) paper money equal to five<br />
pounds, (5) when restaurants "get" customers, it<br />
means they "have" customers (customers are<br />
coming in).<br />

Explanation: Part of the humor of this joke, I<br />
think, is because the hippo's simple answer<br />
seems surprisingly human. Another part of the<br />
humor comes from the fact that there is usually<br />
another reason we don't see many hippos in<br />
cafes - because hippos normally swim in<br />
African rivers, rather than sit in London cafes!<br />
2017 can be a highwater year full of major achievements, crucial<br />
decisions and changes for you, Cancer. Great things are possible with<br />
so much transformative energy aimed your way.<br />
The January Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn is also square<br />
Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries. This creates a T-square that points<br />
straight at Cancer. Your home life, domestic environment, your home<br />
town, your country, and your home planet Earth rarely get this much<br />
celestial attention. Make great progress on any or all of these home<br />
fronts as soon as you can.<br />
It's also a great year to successfully conclude a long, difficult project<br />
or to make that big change that takes you to a better place...<br />
geographically, mentally, and/or emotionally.<br />
The separating conjunction of Mars and Neptune in Pisces gives<br />
you enhanced intuition and instincts. This offers powerful advantages<br />
all year long. Will you take them?<br />
When the Sun enters Cancer, Mars will be there, too. Jupiter will be<br />
in the heart of Libra, your Fourth House of home, family, and the<br />
conclusion of things. This year may take some hard work, but great<br />
energy, luck, and generosity are at your fingertips all year long.
