Editorial<br />
A new era begins<br />
August is The House Anniversary. It is always a special month for us. But 2017 is even more<br />
special. That´s because The House Store and a whole new way to monitor student´s<br />
development is launched. Since the idea of the tribes began, the idea was always to use the<br />
rewarding system as a way to motivate people, and the idea of communities to bring people<br />
together. Our system was always hand-made and the control, at one point, was not enough to<br />
follow the fast pace of people´s lives.<br />
That´s when technology plays its part! Students´ money is now controlled via a piece of software<br />
at The House Strudent´s Area and the money they get in classes is now used for buying real<br />
products. It´s a never-seen-before innovation. The idea is that students will try harder and harder<br />
to save money... by getting more money. And that only happens by coming to classes and turning<br />
in tasks. We hope our students really enjoy the new gift!<br />
And we hope you enjoy this edition of The House News. My advice to you: read attentively the<br />
warning on “This Month” section. It may change your life!! See ya around!!!!<br />

Travelling<br />
The English language making the difference!<br />
Many people dream about traveling but they normally forget that traveling is much easier and<br />
funnier when English is not a problem. Our student Lais Borsato tells us about such experience:<br />
“English is a doorway to the whole world because with it the experiences are unique and we have huge<br />
opportunities either to work or to travel. It is common for many students and professionals to go to an<br />
exchange program to learn and practice their English to work in other countries. They normally return to<br />
Brazil with great job opportunities after the experience’’.<br />
The English language today, besides being important, is essential for our lives, because it unites people<br />
and cultures. Learning English is an adventure that goes beyond theory and practice, but to live the<br />
English language makes the difference. I traveled last years and English was necessary. Because of<br />
this I am here at The House. Thank you!”

Spider-Man: Homecoming<br />
133 min | July 7, 2017<br />
Directed by Jon Watts<br />
Cast: Jonathan M. Goldstein, John Francis Daley, Christopher Ford,<br />
Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers<br />
Culture<br />
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made<br />
his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to<br />
navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero<br />
in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with<br />
the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt<br />
May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor<br />
Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his<br />
normal daily routine--distracted by thoughts of proving himself<br />
to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man--<br />
but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new<br />
villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be<br />
threatened.<br />
Proverbs<br />
English Idioms<br />
Since it´s father´s<br />
month, The House<br />
News is giving you<br />
2 cool proverbs with<br />
the word “father”!<br />
Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan: People<br />
are quick to associate themselves with successful ventures<br />
and distance themselves from failures. EXAMPLE: "All the<br />
people who were so excited about this project in the beginning<br />
now act like they've never even heard of it… Well, success has<br />
many fathers, failure is an orphan."<br />
Experience is the father of wisdom, and Experience is the<br />
mother of wisdom: The more that happens to you, the more<br />
you will learn. “I never understood why supervisors got so<br />
frustrated with me until I became a supervisor and got<br />
frustrated with my subordinates. Experience was definitely the<br />
mother of wisdom, in my case.”

Spelling is really important! And<br />
we, Brazilians, sometimes face<br />
Strong issues regarding such<br />
topic.<br />
Our Spelling Bee was good not<br />
only for getting some interaction<br />
with other students, but also for<br />
being familiar with the spelling<br />
itself! If you haven´t had any<br />
Spelling Bee class, stay tuned<br />
for other chances!!!!

The House was born in the hands of Valter Costa, an English teacher that had a different view concerning the teaching of<br />
English. Valter always felt that students were afraid of speaking English because the systems lacked the necessary<br />
structure for the learning process to effectively occur.<br />
Valter also believed that learning a second language is associated with the processes of our memory. A English course that<br />
could provide the memory with the necessary stimulus to process and store information in English and also a fun<br />
atmosphere for students to feel comfortable would be a revolution. That´s how The House appeared!<br />
After 17 years and constantly evolving, The House is finally seen as a landmark in the teaching of English.<br />
This is The House. This is your house.<br />

Vergueiro<br />
Raíssa (?)<br />
My first experience with the first<br />
year of elementary school<br />
I am in the fifth semester of Pedagogy at USP. In this semester, we have to choose something to<br />
teach about Mathematics and Portuguese. I will write about some experiences with Portuguese<br />
that I had in this internship in a public school of Ribeirão Preto.<br />
The first time I had to choose a subject to work with, I chose authorship, the fact of being the writer,<br />
but for that I needed a subject to write about; I had an idea to talk about superheroes of the real life, because kids think that<br />
only Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and characters with cloaks can be heroes, but I had a desire to deconstruct this<br />
idea, showing them that they can be a superhero practicing good attitudes.<br />
I showed them the history of Profeta Gentileza, a man that heard about a tragedy in Niterói, someone set fire to a circus,<br />
when it was crowded, a lot of people died, including kids. Then Gentileza thought a little and said: “I need to help humanity<br />
because they aren't normal, so I'll leave his city to live in Niterói to help that people to overcome that tragedy”. He started to<br />
write sentences of kindness in the walls of that city and distributed flowers to people.<br />
The second super hero was Malala, the Pakistani girl that fought to have an education, because in 2008 a group of<br />
terrorists, Taliban, forbade girls and women to come to school. She thought that this wasn't right and started to write a blog;<br />
she wrote everything about the violence that was happening in her country to show the world that the situation wasn't good.<br />
While I was telling them that story, Samuel, a six year-old, said “I had an idea: I will start to write a blog”, and I said<br />
“interesting, what is the subject of your blog?” He replied: “It is about the mayor of our city, that doesn't do anything for it, until<br />
today we don't have a uniform to come to school, I will expose him to the world, too”,. This time I was astonished, because I<br />
didn't see that one coming, he is only six years old and when I was the same age, I didn't care about politics, after that<br />
comment my hopes have increased.<br />
I think that this internship was pretty good, because they understood everything that my friends and I explained, they are<br />
more kinder now, they are trying to be the new generation of Profeta Gentileza, they are caring more about the education,<br />
they said that they will study more, because in Brazil, despite the fact that something has to change, everybody can study.<br />
I'm very happy with these experiences, because I achieved my goals, they took over the function of writers and understood<br />
that superheroes are normal people that don't use cloaks and do good attitudes.<br />

Do you like reading?<br />
Check out this amazing tip that our student has given us!!<br />
Review – The Girl on the train<br />
If you like to read suspense or thriller books and books which turn into movies, write down the tip<br />
that I will give. Some weeks ago, I finished reading a book called “The girl on the train”, written by<br />
Paula Hawkins, published in 2015.<br />
The story is about Rachel, who every morning takes the same train to work and on the way,<br />
she sees the house number 15 and the lives of the people who live in this house. One<br />
morning, Rachel sees a different scene from everyday and some days after that, Rachel<br />
discovers that Megan, who lives in the house number 15, is missing. So, Rachel decides to<br />
go to the police and tell what she saw. However, she gets involved not only in the story of the<br />
disappearance, but also in the lives of those involved. The book won a movie version,<br />
released in 2016.<br />
In my opinion, “The girl on the train” is a good book and when you start reading it, you can't<br />
stop until you know the end. Besides, the fact of Rachel being involved in Megan's<br />
disappearance leads us to try to unravel this mystery. tentive to the context, and do not<br />
be worried about speaking all the verbal tenses the right way.

My experiences learning English.<br />
Vergueiro<br />
Have you had troubles learning English?<br />
Read this encouraging text from our student at Vergueiro!!<br />
“I would like to share with everyone my experiences learning English from<br />
the last years. I always hear that the English language is easier than<br />
Portuguese or other languages of Latin origins, like Spanish, French, etc.<br />
Therefore, I should thank for being born in a country with a Latin language,<br />
more difficult, and having to learn English, theoretically being easier.<br />
However, that is not so easy.<br />
Then, I had a marathon of courses and methods to learn English, in group<br />
or private classes, in big or small schools, with famous or fresh systems,<br />
presence-based or web-based classes. I have proved and experienced<br />
every kind of novelty.<br />
Despite my disappointment, I understood important things about learning<br />
English. I justified my lack of development in learning English with several<br />
Antônio Carlos França,41- lawyer<br />
excuses: "I prefer to read and listen to speaking and writing."<br />
The truth is one, we have to find and do things that give us pleasure and learning English can be associated to these<br />
things. No matter what it is, movies, songs, traveling, job, friendships, etc. You can use English for everything.<br />
Nowadays, I am here at The House School, because of a friend's recommendation and I found the solution for many<br />
difficulties and excuses. Now, I can advance my English through flexible scheduling of class, homogeneous ages, many<br />
opportunities to practice, like this space to write. The most important thing is to practice and not to be afraid to make<br />
mistakes. That has worked for me.<br />
Thank you for reading and good luck in your studies.<br />
Don't waste time and use your English every time, day by day!”<br />

Roy went to Volcanofield, the dialogues are so funny. Mathew is<br />
really scared and talking too much and Roy is a little mad. Then, we<br />
can see the prison and how far away it is with so many stairs and<br />
creepy ways and they also have to follow so many rules.”<br />

2English is a doorway to the whole world because …<br />
Pablo Garcia<br />
“The English language is very important nowadays, because globalization makes it<br />
become fundamental. English is the international language of communication with the<br />
whole world. In the job market, English has become an essential attribute for the<br />
achievement of most positions. The globalization has led many Brazilians to go abroad in<br />
order to study, to do business and to spend the vacations. Likewise, many foreigners<br />
have also come to Brazil with the same purposes. And what is the most used language to<br />
communicate with them? Again, English! Although there are many professionals that<br />
speak it fluently, it is still a differential, depending on the level of speaking, to get higher<br />
positions. In conclusion, if you want to get into the job market and earn a good amount of<br />
money, you should dedicate to learn English well.”<br />
Leonardo Pereira Santos<br />
“English is a doorway to the whole world because in each other part of the world<br />
there is someone that speaks English and I can be one of them.”<br />
Anderson Luís da Silva Moura<br />
“English is a doorway to the whole world because it is global. Think about a situation:<br />
you work at a multinational company and there's the possibility to go to a better<br />
position, but one of the requirements is English.<br />
Every time we think that learn English is not necessary because our language is<br />
Portuguese, but we are wrong! Technology, movies, music, food and the places<br />
where most people want to go to, a little English is present… So what are you waiting<br />
for to learn this language of the future? The choice is on your hands. Take it!”<br />
Pedro Henrique dos Santos<br />
“English is a doorway to the whole world because many countries choose it as a<br />
second language and consequently, we can say it is universal!”<br />
Kaio Mandello Rechia<br />
“English is a doorway to the whole world because it is everywhere: music, movies,<br />
among others. English is the language that dominated the world, especially when it<br />
comes to work. The globalized world, all companies and countries became "closer",<br />
always using English for communication and also to travel, to know other countries<br />
without embarrassment… Knowing English communication is much easier in any<br />
country in the world. So, English is very important in our lives and it is becoming more

Most part of the population only knows about<br />
Women's Day, celebrated on March 8th, but, in<br />
August 26th, americans celebrate a very specific fact<br />
that changed the women's lives completely.<br />
In 1971, after much work, and at the urging of the U.S.<br />
Representative, Bella Abzug, the Congress<br />
designated August 26 in each year as “Women's<br />
Equality Day.” This day was selected to<br />
commemorate the passage of the 19th Alteration to<br />
the Constitution on August 26th, in 1920. This change<br />
gave women the right to vote. This was the<br />
culmination of decades of effort by women<br />
suffragettes and other groups. Their efforts dated<br />
back to first women's rights convention in 1848 at<br />
Seneca Falls, New York.<br />
And now, thinking about the present time, we can<br />
realize that certainly those 72 years of campaigning<br />
served as practice for this year's historic elections<br />
considering that for the first time, a woman is the<br />
presidential candidate of a major party of United<br />
States.<br />
However, this big step is controvertial when<br />
compered to the violence suffered, no only physically,<br />
but psychologically, and to the irregular salaries<br />
earned in equal positions, where the unique<br />
difference is the sex.<br />
In conclusion, the first thing to do is not forget about<br />
the unbalanced equality that women still pass<br />
through. Women's rights groups suggest you<br />
continue to be involved in pursuing full and equal<br />
rights for women in all areas and in all issues.<br />
We<br />
can<br />
do it!

Father´s day<br />
Father's Day is an occasion to mark<br />
and celebrate the contribution that your<br />
father has made to your life. Many<br />
people send or give cards or gifts to their<br />
fathers. Common Father's Day gifts<br />
include sports items or clothing,<br />
electronic gadgets, outdoor cooking<br />
supplies and tools for household<br />
maintenance.<br />
Father's Day is a relatively modern<br />
holiday so different families have a<br />
range of traditions. These can range<br />
from a simple phone call or greetings<br />
card to large parties honoring all of the<br />
'father' figures in a particular extended<br />
family. Father figures can include<br />
fathers, step-fathers, fathers-in-law,<br />
grandfathers and great-grandfathers<br />
and even other male relatives. In the<br />
days and weeks before Father's Day,<br />
many schools and Sunday schools help<br />
their pupils to prepare a handmade card<br />
or small gift for their fathers.<br />
But how did it start? There are a range of<br />
events, which may have inspired the<br />
idea of Father's Day.<br />
One of these was the start of the<br />
Mother's Day tradition in the first<br />
decade of the 20th century. Another<br />
was a memorial service held in 1908 for<br />
a large group of men, many of them<br />
fathers, who were killed in a mining<br />
accident in Monongah, West Virginia in<br />
December 1907.<br />
A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd<br />
was an influential figure in the<br />
establishment of Father's Day. Her<br />
father raised six children by himself<br />
after the death of their mother.<br />
This was uncommon at that time, as<br />
many widowers placed their children in<br />
the care of others or quickly married<br />
again.<br />
Sonora was inspired by the work of<br />
Anna Jarvis, who had pushed for<br />
Mother's Day celebrations. Sonora felt<br />
that her father deserved recognition for<br />
what he had done. The first time<br />
Father's Day was held in June was in<br />
1910. Father's Day was officially<br />
recognized as a holiday in 1972 by<br />
President Nixon.

Social project<br />
Fábrica de Talentos<br />
Fábrica de Talentos is a social program that really works! Imec<br />
combines two activities in one single Project that not help helps<br />
teenagers´ physical skills, but also makes them ready for the<br />
job market. Training with Luta Regional Bahiana and The<br />
house English classes really make a huge difference in their<br />
lives! Teachers from The House like our famous teacher Varoto<br />
came from this Project. Today we hear from Larissa and<br />
Angeline, two girls that work at the Campos Salles Unit that<br />
really can show that the Project Works, and Works well.<br />
Name: Angeline Oliveira da Silva<br />
Age: 19<br />
Secretary, the House<br />
“I knew The House in 2011. I was 14 years old and I started to be part<br />
of the social project of Instituto Mascote where I had English and<br />
capoeira classes. I really loved the classes, the teachers, the team of<br />
The House (employees), but some problems made me stop with the<br />
classes. Two years ago I came back and started as a The House<br />
student and now I am a part of The House Team.”<br />
Name: Larissa Nóbrega<br />
Age: 17<br />
Receptionist at The House<br />
“I had the opportunity to study in Fábrica de Talentos when the director<br />
and the Project teachers went to my old school, in August 2016. For me,<br />
having both grammar and speaking classes totally in English makes a lot<br />
easier to learn the language. The capoeira classes weren't just good<br />
because of the physical benefit that come with it, but I also learned a lot<br />
about how Brazil culture was built and influenced by different people,<br />
with different stories and hardships, that made this country the diversified<br />
place it is today… and now I am also a part of The House Team.”

Sports<br />
Barons of Ribeirão Preto<br />
Founded in 2014, Barões de Ribeirão Preto is an american football team created to<br />
help spread the sport in the area. With around 60 athletes ranging from ages 18 to<br />
32, the team has a sporting and social project, with values such as team work, respect,<br />
determination, commitment and union, gathering in their selections more and more young<br />
people dedicated to the sport.<br />
American football is one of the sports that have been growing the most in popularity in Brazil,<br />
and there are already over 300 teams between the Flag and Fullpad modalities.<br />
With government and private incentives, it tends to grow even more. Our country is the second<br />
largest consumer, only behind its original country, the United States of America.<br />
In this second semester, Barões will compete on its first Championship: the Copa Mogiana de<br />
Futebol Americano , where it will face teams from São Paulo and Minas Gerais. Its first game will<br />
be against Carrascos, in Franca-SP, on the 12th of August. The team players are focusing on<br />
training sessions that should prepare them for victory.<br />

FUN<br />
English JOKE<br />
‘‘The perfect son’’<br />
This joke uses "misdirection". The language<br />
gets us to think one way, so in the end we get<br />
a surprise. Enjoy!<br />
Woman A told Woman B, 'I have the (1)<br />
perfect son'.<br />
Woman B asked, 'Does he (2) smoke?'<br />
Woman A answered, 'No, he doesn't'.<br />
Woman B: 'Does he drink (3) whiskey?'<br />
Woman A: 'No, he doesn't'.<br />
Woman B: 'Does he ever come home<br />
late?'<br />
Woman A: 'No, he doesn't'.<br />
Woman B: (4) 'I guess you really do have<br />
the perfect son. How old is he?'<br />
Woman A: "He will be six months old next<br />
Wednesday' .<br />
(1) he has no bad points (he is 100% good!)<br />
(2) smoke cigarettes (tobacco)<br />
(3) very strong alcohol<br />
(4) she believes it must be true (7) not good<br />
looking<br />
Horoscope<br />
Virgo<br />
August 23<br />
September 22<br />
Of course Woman B believed Woman A's<br />
son was grown up. Since she believed it,<br />
we also believed it. Surprise!<br />
As soon as the Sun conjoins Pluto in Capricorn on January 7, the year 2017<br />
will blast off into an adventure of work and career possibilities for Virgos. Your<br />
planet Mercury will be in Capricorn, too. Thoughts and ideas to move you<br />
ahead will be abundant and achievable all year.<br />
January also starts with a mystic and mystifying conjunction of Mars and<br />
Neptune in Pisces. You'll be looking into the face of magic all year long, and<br />
you'll be able to tell what's real from what's illusion. That's an advantage that<br />
very few people will have.<br />
The Moon and Venus conjunct in Aquarius smooths out many social and<br />
relationship issues. You will be able to see and think more clearly about others<br />
than perhaps they can themselves.<br />
The most important celestial signal might be the conjunction of Mars and<br />
the Lunar North Node in Leo on the day that the Sun enters Virgo.<br />
You normally act with great consideration and compassion. This year, what<br />
you do may more often have karmic implications with soul connections to<br />
improve your life. Your more playful, dramatic actions could have deeper,<br />
more subtle and long-reaching consequences.<br />
The third of this year's four Mercury retrogrades starts in Virgo on August<br />
12 and ends in Leo on September 5. You can have some of your best and most<br />
successful moments of the year now. They may not look great in the moment,<br />
but they are.
