Travelling 

Dubai 

In 2013, my parents and I decided to take 

a tour to Europe where we visited Italy, 

France, Germany and Switzerland. When 

we arrived, we were totally amazed with 

everything we saw, the streets were 

extremely clean, the people were 

educated, prices were fair, an organized 

city, subways with lots of stops for 

egalitarian access. But unfortunately, 

amid so much nobility and quality, I 

realized that there were many immigrants 

who ended up without having a place to 

work and asked for help on the streets. 

At that time we had a very basic notion of 

the English language and much less the 

original languages of each country so we 

had to turn off with the communication, 

going through the wrong times where we 

did not know how to ask for information 

about where we wanted to go. With this, 

upon returning to Brazil I decided to take 

a good English course to be able to 

communicate in a future trip and also to 

my professional future, guaranteeing me 

a higher qualification. 

It was a bit difficult because I never 

imagined that I would have to speak 

English in my life and sometimes the 

words just ran out of my head, but I 

struggled to talk and people could 

understand me and I'm very happy about 

it! I'd say I survived (laughs).

In the kitchen 

Halloween cake 

Kids will love picking off the sweets and biscuits from this fun 

Halloween graveyard cake, complete with biscuit tombstones. 

Prep: 1 hour 

Cook:1 hour 

Level: medium Serves 10 

Ingredients 

Method 

For the cake 

250g/9oz butter, softened, plus extra for greasing 

250g/9oz caster sugar 

4 free-range eggs, lightly beaten 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

200g/7oz self-raising flour 

50g/2oz cocoa powder 

For the ginger biscuit tombstones 

350g plain flour 

½ tsp ground ginger 

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 

100g/3½oz butter, cut into cubes 

175g/6oz light soft brown sugar 

4 tbsp golden syrup 

1 free-range egg, lightly beaten 

For the decoration 

white icing (such as royal icing), for decorating the 

biscuits 

125g/4½oz butter, softened 

250g/9oz icing sugar 

2 tbsp cocoa powder 

1 tbsp milk 

½ pack Oreo cookies or bourbon biscuits 

1 pack chocolate sticks (such as Matchmakers) 

halloween sweets 

Recipe Tips 

You can use shop-bought biscuits if you 

like - malted milk, rich tea fingers and 

bourbon biscuits work well. 

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. 

2. Grease and line a 20x30cm/8x12in rectangular cake tin with baking parchment. 

3.Beat together the butter and sugar with a hand-held mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy. 

Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well between each addition, adding the vanilla extract 

with the last of the egg. 

4.Sift together the flour and the cocoa powder into a bowl. Fold the flour mixture into the butter 

mixture until fully incorporated. 

5.Spoon the cake batter into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with the back of a 

spoon. 

6. Bake for 30 minutes until firm to the touch (a wooden skewer inserted in the centre should 

come out clean). 

7. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. 

8. For the ginger biscuit tombstones, place the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a 

mixing bowl. Rub the butter in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine 

breadcrumbs. 

9. Add the sugar, syrup and egg and mix together until it forms a soft dough. Wrap in cling film 

and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. 

10. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4. 

11. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out your shapes – you will only need 

a few for the cake so cut out some other Halloween shapes for extra biscuits. 

12. Place the shapes on to greased baking sheets and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. 

Remove from the sheets with a palette knife and place onto a wire rack to cool completely 

before decorating with white icing. 

13. For the buttercream, beat the butter in a large bowl with a hand held mixer until creamy 

then add the icing sugar a spoonful at a time beating well between each addition. Add the 

cocoa powder and milk and beat again for a further five minutes until light and fluffy. 

14. Blend the Oreo or bourbon biscuits to fine crumbs in a food processor. 

15. Spread the buttercream over the cooled cake, covering the top and sides – don’t worry if 

it’s not smooth - a few lumps and bumps will make it more mud-like. 

16. Break the chocolate sticks in half unevenly, then stick around the sides of the cake to form 

the fence. 

17.Sprinkle the biscuit soil over the surface before sticking in the tombstones and decorating 

with spooky sweets

When young children in the little town Derry, Maine goes 

missing a group of seven kids find out that the killer is not 

a man.The killer is the evil clown Pennywise who can 

shapeshift into the thing you are most afraid of. 

The kids, also known as the Losers Club, decide to fight 

and kill It. But how can you fight something who knows all 

your biggest fears? 

Idioms 

Hurricane, Typhoon, Cyclone... 

What is the difference? 

A hurricane, a typhoon, and a cyclone are essentially the same type of weather phenomenon. 

There is no difference! So why are there three different words for the same thing? 

Well, the only real difference is WHERE the storm forms and takes place or happens. 

If it happens in the Northeast Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, then it is called a Hurricane. 

If it happens in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, which is near Asia, then it is called a Typhoon. 

If it happens in the South Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean, then it is called a Cyclone.

Student testimonial: 

EXAMINATION CLASS 

“I think this class is 

really important during 

the course, because 

when the course ends, I 

will take the TOEFL test 

and this class helps me to 

see how the real test is 

going to be.” 

“The Examination 

class is a good class 

because it is a great 

t r a i n i n g t h a t 

prepares us for the 

real tests.” 

“The Examination class 

is different and more 

challenging. A class 

where I could look at 

myself and evaluate 

myself according to 

what I learned.” 

“ I l i k e d t h e 

Examination class 

very much because I 

think it helps us to

One more edition of our Happy Hour happened and this time The House 

was the center of everything. Our quiz on the history of The House 

made students laugh a lot and also presented them with never-seenbefore 

information. 

They had a chance to learn very interesting curiosities about the great 

person behind everything, Valter Costa, and how he was able to reshape 

the scenario of the English teaching along with his long-time friend, Abilio. 

Students also had fun singing along with our musicians, who brought 

songs that actually made everyone sing!

doesn't like to get a cool gift? The forecast of a storm coming to our city scared some 

people away a little bit, but the ones who managed to go to the Happy Hour can say it was 

really worth it!!! 

Thanks a bunch, guys, and see you all next time!

Raíssa (?) 

My first Exchange Program!! 

“I was told by a friend once: "being in an 

exchange program is like getting in the 

line of a rollercoaster and have that 

adrenaline rush and fear feeling, a mix 

of great thrills taking hold as well as 

having butterflies in the stomach". It's 

such an incredible experience, for sure. 

Getting to know people from all over the 

world, new places you've never 

imagined visiting, or experiencing a 

different culture, just makes you see 

things in a new light. The challenges 

are also countless, like the language, traditions, food, 

homesickness or the educational system, but it's worth the 

effort. 

Still, everything's been much easier with The House school. 

They provided a solid basis so the language wouldn't be a great 

obstacle; having classes there helped me a lot, both to 

communicate and to speak freely, shamelessly, fearlessly and 

with self-assurance. Before coming, I needed to prepare 

myself, so teachers helped me a lot telling about their past 

experiences and assisting me with some grammar issues I still 

had.”

My Contact with English: 

some tips for beginners 

Vergueiro 

When I started my English classes at The House School, I'd never had an experience 

such as staying in a place that people only speak in English. I remember that I entered 

the reception and there were two students talking about Dragonball Z, because I could 

really understand the words Goku and Gohan. 

That time I thought that I would spend so much time trying to say things in English, but I was totally wrong. In my 

first weeks I was talking the necessary, although, when I scheduled video classes for example, I could only 

understand 10 or 15 percent of the episode. I remember that my first video class was with advanced students. 

They laughed a lot and I couldn't understand the jokes, but I never gave up, so new students, my tip is: don't give 

up, you will understand naturally in some weeks or months. 

I really went through the steps of The House School. 

The first time I listened, I understood just a little. After that, I listened and read things and I understood well. 

When you understand the episodes well with subtitles, it is the perfect time to turn them off, probably you will not 

understand very well. Then you can't give up, until you start to understand again and naturally. 

I know that sometimes it is hard to keep watching a TV series for example, because of our routines, but 

sometimes I put the CD of The House School in my car, while I'm driving. It doesn't matter if you do not 

understand everything because of traffic jam, the important is that you are having contact with a second 

language in one part of your day. Another tip that I can give is: you can put a song too, and try to write a dictation; 

after this listen to the songs, write a little composition about the story of the song. 

What's your favorite movie style? 

Which movie do you recommend? Why? 

“I like many types of movies, but if 

I am to choose, I prefer action 

movies. I recommend the S.W.A.T. 

movie, because it is interesting 

and it has a lot of thrills and a very 

exciting story.” 

Raphael Carvalho 

“My favorite kinds of movies 

a re a c t i o n , c o m e d y a n d 

m u s i c a l s . I r e c o m m e n d 

Impossible Mission.” 

Marcos Francisco Abbate 

“ M y f a v o r i t e m o v i e s t y l e i s 

adventure. I liked Armageddon, this 

movie is about the extinction of Earth 

by a meteor, so astronauts and a crazy 

man have a mission of exploding the 

meteor. I like this movie, because it 

has action, romance, comedy and 

suspense, but the best in this movie is 

the song by Aerosmith.”

Which one is your favorite country to travel to? Why? 

“My favorite country is 

Greece, because I lived 

there for 8 years. I lived in 

Corfu Island, and it's a 

paradise there; it's the most 

beautiful place to go to.” 

Erica Nacarato 

“My favorite country is the USA, 

because in this country you 

have many opportunities for 

business and work; I can also 

study in the best universities of 

the world.” 

João Luiz Nunes Junior 

“I recommend visiting Northern 

Ireland, because the nature is 

a m a z i n g . T h e t r e e s a r e 

beautiful and full of colors. 

There are many places to visit 

in Northern Ireland, such as the 

Giant's Causeway, Carrick and 

the Titanic Museum.” 

Ana Lúcia Garcia de Matos 

“The only country that I 

traveled to was Argentina, 

but I'd like to go to England 

or the USA.” 

Bruna Balducci 

“I really want to visit Spain. I 

don't have a special reason 

to visit this country, but I think 

there are many beautiful 

places in Spain, and I love 

the language spoken there.” 

Nayara Henrique 

“I want to visit France, 

because it's a beautiful and 

interesting country.” 

G l a u c i a V. N a c a r a t o

“I recommend visiting Italy, 

because this country has 

many options for a trip. In its 

cities, Italy has beautiful 

places, great history and 

very old objects.”

Nothing like the good old group working to get 

some improvement going. This is what 

Speaking classes are all about! 

In MP classes, the focus is on you! Never 

surrender to the difficulties and keep studying! 

These guys are learning their first words at the same 

time they're increasing their vocabulary. Working 

with substitutions is great to build your own 

personality while speaking. 

This isn't something you see everyday! The TV 

is on, but no one's looking! Maybe they're 

focused on the great classes they're about to 

have very soon! 

Doing the exercises from the book is a 

fundamental step to improve your language skills 

and help you understand Vicent's story better. Way 

to go, students!

I've recently started to study at The 

House, but I can tell that I'm enjoying it 

a lot!!! The teachers are great and the 

method of teaching is awesome! The 

best thing in all this is that I'm studying 

with my family! I would recommend 

The House School to all the people in 

the world if I could!” 

Pedro Bereta 

“My name is Andre. I really like the way 

The House teaches and I like to learn 

with my relatives because we learn all 

together!!!” 

Andre Bereta 

“I have studied at The House School for a long time! Since I started, I've 

improved a lot my skills, not only in English but my communication skills in 

general. I've made a lot of friend during this time! The House is a different 

school, we learn and we have fun at the same time! I'm glad to be part of 

The House family and I am sure I can recommend the school to 

everybody.” 

Rodrigo Bonela 

“I met The House through my brother, who studied here for many years. 

I had already taken another course and when I finished I wanted to go 

to the school to improve my knowledge and I do not regret it. The school 

surprised me in all possible ways and today I recommend it to everyone 

that really wants to learn English. Today I have my cousin, Beatriz, who 

goes with me and also met the school through my brother. The Bonela 

family is now part of The House family!” 

Mariana Bonela 

I met The House School through my cousin 

Rodrigo, he was the first one in the family that 

started studying English, and, after a while, 

my cousin Mariana and I started at The 

House too. I am enjoying very much the 

different classes and ways I am learning 

English. The teachers are amazing and 

everyone at the school is captivating. You 

can see how great this place is by seeing 

that, today, basically my whole family studies 

here!

Recently, our school has received a huge present! A new student that is 

very small compared to everybody else. His name is Dante, and he is 

Katlyn and Carlos' son! They were our students for some time and were 

enjoying their journey at the school when they had a surprise… Katlyn 

got pregnant!!! 

Even though their path in the school would be hard to continue, they 

overcame the difficulties and are now bringing the baby to their English 

classes! Their progress in the language is still happening and, besides 

that, the baby is spreading a lot of joy and happiness around the school! 

“When we received the news of the pregnancy, we felt very happy but 

also very worried because we had started the English course just three 

months before that. During the pregnancy, everything happened very 

well, but then Dante was born and we had a problem: “How to continue 

the course with a baby?”. We talked to the school coordination and they offered us all the support and the 

flexibility to continue the classes. Nowadays, we go to school and we attend classes with our little Dante and 

we found out that learning English as a family is possible and very funny.” 

Dante´s Family 

“My father joined The House first. He was always talking about how 

wonderful this school is and the amazing classes that he'd never seen 

before. When my sister started studying here too, she was also very happy 

about the method and that was cool because she had never liked English. I 

love The House dynamic classes! And it's great to study with my family 

because I don't drive, so I don't have problems to get a ride and we can share 

what we've learned. Luisa likes a lot our teachers! It is her biggest 

motivation!” 

Júlia Maritan 

“I'd never liked English and when I decided to stop my old English course, my 

father tried to convince me to continue, but I really hated that. After that, my 

father started studying here and he was always talking about how amazing 

the school was: the method, the classes and the teachers; and I was very 

interested in it. Then, some time later, I started to study here too, and I love it! 

Now, I love English and all my comments have made my sister start too! I 

really like to study English with my family.”

How do you feel about technology nowadays? Do you support its advances? 

If you don't, how do you believe the world would be without it? 

“Technology is in everything nowadays. Everybody is connected using the 

internet, smart phones or computers. It is true that technology can create 

some problems, but I believe that there are more benefits than bad points. 

With the advance of technology we can reach goals that we have never 

thought about. So, it is very important that technology continues advancing 

more and more.” 

Vinicius Silva Garcia, Teth 

“Nowadays, the technology advances very fast and to me, an old man who 

was born when we didn't have personal computers or cell phones, 

sometimes faces difficulties to use all technology tools. However, I know 

that these new equipments help me very much during my day, mainly when I 

am in my job. I believe that it is possible to live without these devices but now 

all the citizens are already used to being in touch with them all day long.” 

Gabriel Silva Mendeleh 

“It depends on the case, because I agree when technology is used in 

medicine development or to create new tools to save the humanity. But I 

disagree when people use technology to destroy nature or humanity. I 

believe nowadays people can't live without technology because they are 

addicted to it and they can't be far from it.” 

Leticia Pereira Ioshimine 

“Nowadays, the technology is very important for many things. In my opinion, 

the world is better with technology advances. For example, the use of 

technology in sciences and hospitals. I think that today we can't live without 

technology.” 

Roberta Maraninchi Silveira 

“The technology is very important nowadays because we are connected with 

the whole world and we can find several answers or solutions to many 

problems.” 

Celso Donizete Cainelli 

“My life is technology! I have always worked with informatics technology and 

followed the evolution in the world. It gives us many opportunities to know 

things that before used to be almost impossible.” 

Lucas da Silva Brioschi

How do you feel about technology nowadays? Do you support its advances? 

If you don't, how do you believe the world would be without it? 

“The technology is part of our lives and we can't live without it because we are 

already used to it, and being without it would be like going backwards in our 

continuous evolution. The world wouldn't be prepared to move backwards 

and millions of people would die because we all depend on the technology. It's 

in the hospitals, in our jobs and in our lives.” 

William C Gomes 

“I think it is very important in our life because people do everything with 

technology.” 

Camila Takyla Felix Batista 

“I am becoming old, so, for me technology changes very fast, but who 

can live without it? I am always a step behind it. I'm a hard nail to bite. I 

don't give up.” 

Jurimaná Amancio da Silva Miguel de Almeida 

“I think technology is necessary to fill humans' necessities, for 

example, capacity, processing, memory, etc… So technology helps us 

in the evolution.” 

Pedro Marcio Buzati Kasia 

“I think that technology nowadays is very important in a lot of things like 

medicine, creating new medicaments and cure for diseases… The world 

can't live without it, a lot of things go better after technology.” 

Rapahel Cerdeira Nunes da Silva 

“I feel very comfortable because I have technology. I support it because it is 

very important for the future. I don't believe the world would survive without 

technology because the information needs to be shared fast nowadays.”

“I liked the new dollars 

because now I feel better 

to get them. With them, I 

can buy products that I 

like and always wanted to 

buy. So I think it was a 

great idea to change the

encourages us to win 

more money.” 

Vinicius Augusto F.

“The new dollars are a 

great idea; it's cool to get 

gifts using money earned 

by our own achievement 

in classes. It's a good 

idea to motivate the 

whole school.”

Why is English so important to your 

profession life and how is The House 

helping with it? 

Campos Salles 

“I am an analyst. I work at 

Nestlé in Ribeirão Preto. 

English is very important 

to my profession because I 

work in a multinational 

company and English is 

constantly spoken during 

meetings. Because if that, 

The House school is very 

important to me.” 

K a r i n e d e O l i v e i r a 

Arruda 

“I am a programmer and I 

work at Nestlé. English is 

very important because I 

work with the other 

companies of Nestlé in 

different countries and 

The House is important 

because it helps me in my 

development.” 

Ricardo Bertolazzo 

“I am an administrative 

analyst and I work at 

Nestlé Brasil. English is a 

very important language 

f o r m y p r o f e s s i o n a l 

development because I 

work in a multinational. 

The House School is a 

great place to learn this 

language and I know that I 

need to take advantage of 

the method.” 

Carla Piantino 

“I am an analyst at Nestlé. 

M y c o m p a n y i s 

i n t e r n a t i o n a l a n d , 

consequently, our official 

language is English. 

Because of this, it is very 

i m p o r t a n t f o r m y 

professional development 

to speak in English.” 

Tatiane Mizuguchi 

“I am an analyst. I work at 

NBS Nestlé in Ribeirão 

Preto - SP. English is 

important because I work 

with 20 countries in my 

job and I need to know 

how to speak with them. It 

is much easier to solve a 

problem by talking about 

it instead of sending 

emails and waiting for the 

answers. The House is 

helping me by teaching 

new things.” 

Afonso Felini Rodrigues

teachers.”

Campos Salles 

Success student 

I had a previous experience with 

English by learning using Tv series 

and in High School. But then, I felt 

that I stuck in some point that a help 

was really needed. Then, I started 

looking for a school and The House 

showed me how it is possible to 

have a busy life and still learn 

English. 

Since I started to study at The House School I had some 

great experiences and positive feedbacks. It has been 

improving my professional and personal life. I also had the 

opportunity to represent my company in a fair in Las 

Vegas, USA. I worked a lot and enjoyed funny moments, 

too. 

My English skills were improved 

enough for me to realize the difference 

comparing to another trip that I had. At 

this time, it was really easier to express 

myself, ask real information and give 

attention to foreign customers and 

suppliers. 

Another good experience was this 

month, September, in a Brazilian fair where I could put my 

English on proof again… I talked to many partners and the 

conversations flowed really fine and I even received some 

complements about that. I know that I still have a long way 

to get a real fluency, but I also know that studying at The 

House I'm on the right way to get it.culture in which it 

should operate. And remember: There are no side 

effects – they are part of the technology.

English influence 

Campos Salles 

Suggestion: Game of Thrones accents 

Game of Thrones is a huge, ambitious show. It's clear how much work goes into crafting 

each of the hour-long episodes. From creating hyper-realistic dragons, to casting 

hundreds of extras for giant battles, the show spares no expense. 

For many fans, though, there's one detail of the show where the work that goes into it 

may go unnoticed: accents. 

Over the past six-plus seasons, Game of Thrones has introduced fans to close to 200 

characters. Nearly all of them speak with some variation of an English or Scottish 

accent, though there are a few exceptions. However, few actors are using their natural 

voices, and are instead doing an accent that fits where in Westeros their character is from 

Characters who sound nothing like the actors who portray them: 

Oberyn Martell: Though he 

was born in Chile, Pedro 

Pascal was raised in the 

Southern California and 

Texas, and sounds nothing 

like his onscreen persona. 

Davos Seaworth: Liam 

Cunningham was born in 

Dublin, Ireland, though you 

wouldn't be able to tell from 

the Geordie accent he does 

while playing Davos. 

Bronn: Bronn actor Jerome 

Flynn is from southern 

England and has an upperclass 

English accent, but 

does a convincing northern 

English accent in the show. 

Syrio Forel: Arya's dancing 

master hailed from the faroff 

land of Braavos, and 

spoke with the fictional 

Braavosi accent. He was 

portrayed by London-born 

Miltos Yerolemou, who 

speaks with a standard 

English accent. 

Ygritte: Despite being 

Scottish, Rose Leslie speaks 

w i t h a R e c e i v e d 

Pronunciation accent — 

what you might consider a 

very proper English accent. 

To play the Wildling Ygritte, 

however, Leslie does a 

strong northern English 

accent. 

B o r n i n R u d k ø b i n g , 

Denmark, Nikolaj Coster- 

Waldeau speaks with a 

noticeable Danish accent. 

He does his best attempt at a 

Southern English accent to 

play Jaime, but you can hear 

his true accent slip through 

from time to time. 

Khal Drogo: Khal Drogo 

mainly speaks Dothraki, but 

he throws in a few English 

words here and there. The 

a c t o r J a s o n M o m o a , 

however, is Hawaiian and 

speaks with a West Coast 

American accent. 

Lord Varys: Actor Conleth 

Hill is from Northern 

Ireland, though for "Game of 

Thrones" he does a refined 

southern English accent. 

Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish: 

The Dublin-born Aidan 

G i l l e n s p e a k s w i t h a 

noticeable Irish accent. His 

" G a m e o f T h r o n e s " 

character, however, has an 

a c c e n t t h a t h a s b e e n 

morphing and changing 

constantly since his season 

one debut. 

Jorah Mormont: Iain Glen is 

a S c o t t i s h a c t o r f r o m 

Edinburgh, something you 

might be able to quickly 

deduce after hearing him 

s p e a k . I n " G a m e o f 

Thrones," however, his 

character Jorah Mormont 

speaks with the Received 

Pronunciation accent of a 

former Westerosi lord. 

The Hound: Rory McCann 

has a thick Scottish accent, 

though he does his best to 

disguise it with an English 

a c c e n t i n " G a m e o f 

Thrones." If you listen 

closely, though, you'll hear 

his brogue slip through from 

time to time. 

Tyrion Lannister: Many fans 

forget that Peter Dinklage is 

New Jersey born-and-raised. 

To play Tyrion Lannister, 

Dinklage does his best 

attempt at a Received 

Pronunciation English 

accent — with varying 

degrees of success.

Common Traditions of Halloween 

Along with the wearing of costumes, there are many other traditions which go along with Halloween. 

They include the following: 

Carving pumpkins. 

Typically a large, round, orange pumpkin 

is chosen and carved out, with one side 

being a face. A small candle is placed 

inside the jack-o-lantern in order to 

illuminate the outline of the face. 

Bobbing for apples 

This is a very traditional 

activity. It is a good family 

party activity and great for 

parties. 

Watching horror films. 

A n y t h i n g f r o m t h e c l a s s i c 

Frankenstein film to contemporary 

horror flicks, watching movies with 

themes connected with Halloween is 

certainly a popular way to spend 

Halloween. 

Visiting a haunted house. 

Usually, people pay money to 

enter a building which has been 

rigged with props and actors 

who surprise and scare the 

visitors as they walk through the 

haunted house. 

Scary Storytelling. 

No Halloween party is complete without 

at least a few scary stories.Talking in a 

low voice or silly voice while everyone 

else crowds together on the floor or 

around a fire and listens can be a lot of 

fun! 

Halloween Recipes 

The following recipes are quick 

and easy to make. Great for a 

Halloween Party! 

Spooky Events and Destinations for Halloween Fun 

A truly American holiday, Halloween always falls on October 31, and is the time when the young and young-at-heart don 

costumes, troll for treats, and go in search of spooky activities, such as touring haunted houses and cemeteries. 

Halloween festivities are celebrated in many different ways in cities and towns across the United States, ranging from 

family-friendly trick-or-treating to adults-only costume parties. 

Our guides across the USA have brushed away the cobwebs to reveal the best Halloween events in their area. Read 

on...if you dare! 

Halloween in New York City 

If you're a creature of the night, then it makes sense to go to the "city that never sleeps" for Halloween. There are tons of 

Halloween events in New York City for every age, interest, and persuasion. A few favorites are the Procession of the 

Ghouls, visits to haunted New York City hotels, bars, and buildings, and Halloween events at NYC museums and zoos 

for the whole family. 

Halloween in Chicago 

The howling winds of the Windy City is the perfect setting for celebrating Halloween. Chicago Halloween events are 

many, including Chicagoween, the Spooky Zoo Spectacular, and the Haunted Sanitarium. 

Halloween in Los Angeles 

The USA's entertainment capital is crawling with Halloween Events and Festivities. Of particular note are the Adults 

Only Halloween Party and the Day of the Dead Celebration, which draws on LA's long-standing Mexican heritage. 

Halloween in New Orleans 

Voodoo, above-ground cemeteries, and a penchant for eccentric costumes make New Orleans a blast for Halloween. 

Check out the many New Orleans Halloween Events, which range from family fun at the zoo to a Vampire Ball.

What was your best trip and why? 

“My favorite trip was a dance 

competition in Joinville. It was 

amazing because I was with my friends, 

dancing, and we went to other places 

together.” 

Laura Battaglia Ferracini 

“My best trip was to Europe because I 

had the chance to know different 

cultures and different places. However, 

what really got my attention was the 

public resources that work very well.” 

Cleiton Ricardo Bedin 

“My best trip was to the old Mariana 

city, São João Del Rey and others 

because in those places we can study 

and get to know more about our history 

and other people.” 

Edmara das Graças Simão 

“My best trip was to João Pessoa – 

Paraíba, because I stayed with my 

family and saw other places and an 

kind of other culture. Moreover, I 

loved the beach!” 

Gabrielle Cristina Piati 

“My best trip was to Brotas – São Paulo. This 

is a place that has a lot of nature and 

adventures. Other places may have the same 

things but this was better because I was with 

my best friends. We do everything together 

and this is why this trip was so cool. Knowing 

new places is very good but to experience them 

with other people is more important. It 

becomes magic.” 

Vanessa De Oliveira Viana 

“My best trip was to the farm with my 

boyfriend. He rode his motorcycle and 

we stayed there for two days only to 

relax. The waterfalls were so beautiful 

and I loved the river.” 

Tatiane Florêncio 

“My best trip was in the beginning of 

this year, I went to the beach with my 

friends. We enjoyed it a lot. I visited 

three beaches, including Maresias and 

Ilha Bela. They were beautiful and this 

trip was good to me, as well as to my 

soul.” 

Jacques Florêncio 

“My best trip happened when I went 

to Salvador because the beaches are 

very beautiful and the people are 

very polite.” 

Talita Carla De Tralia Medeiros 

“My best trip was certainly when my 

parents and I went to Europe for a tour 

in the main countries. Everything was 

so beautiful, so organized that we were 

amazed! We intend to return and 

explore more of it in the future.” 

Barbara Gardenghi Pasquini 

“The best trip I've ever made was to a 

Museum in Brumadinho – MG because 

I went there with my friends.”

We scream: 

"Ice cream!" 

CREMOSO, our new Partnership present since 

1977, the most famous ice cream factory in the 

region has completed its 40 years of history in 

2017. When it started in Pitangueiras, it came 

from the owner's initiative, Mr. Augusto, in a 

prosperous search for the "creamiest" ice 

cream. Thus, the name of the phenomenon and 

reference was born when it comes to the "best 

ice cream of the region" in the opinion of the 

customers. 

The favorite of all currently has partnerships in 

Ribeirão Preto, Catanduva, Barrinha, Pontal, 

Jaboticabal, Olímpia and Guariba, as the ice 

cream cherry continues celebrating 40 years of 

operation in the market and three years of new 

house in Sertãozinho! 

The establishment, with its contemporary 

design and dedicated staff, filled in every 

season, is the guarantee of a refreshing 

experience with family and friends, a result of all 

the hard work and dedication for years so that 

Creamery Ice Cream continued the success 

that is “meant” to be. 

Enjoy the season, call your friends and

Social project 

Looking for a good physical activity? Then read this! 

We all know that Luta Regional Bahiana (Capoeira Regional) is a Brazilian sport that 

combines fighting with rhythm to the sound of music. But dis you really know that it offers 

as many benefits as any other popular sport? Check out this cool contribution from our 

correspondents at IMEC! 

Stress reduction: A regular capoeira practice does wonders for relaxing 

the mind and body. The exercise boosts endorphins, which puts you in a 

better mood in no time. 

Strength: Capoeiristas are always moving around on their hands with 

handstands and rolls. This makes a marked improvement on upper body 

strength. Also, so many of the movements require one to engage the abs 

and core strength. The movements inherently build slow and quick twitch 

muscle fibers, enhance breathing and blood flow, build flexibility, build hand 

and eye coordination, balance and much more. 

Flexibility: Some capoeiristas are on par with serious yoga practitioners in 

terms of their flexibility. 

But even those who moderately improve their flexibility lower their risk for 

injury and increase their everyday mobility. 

Cardio and stamina: Many times athletes from various sports are 

surprised when they feel winded from a capoeira workout. 

This is because capoeira uses muscle groups and cardio fitness in unique 

ways. Intense capoeira practice can require enormous amounts of energy. 

Gain confidence: If nothing else, capoeira is perfect for instilling a sense of 

pride and confidence in anyone who practices. Not only will you feel 

stronger and more courageous once you become comfortable in the jogo 

(game), you'll find confidence in knowing that you are unique among your 

peers because you can do things they couldn't imagine doing. 

Overall fitness: Capoeira will improve your strength, flexibility and stamina, 

thus improving your overall fitness. It may take a while to become fit, but 

once you start to take capoeira seriously you can become the picture of fitness. 

Meet new people: When you join a capoeira group, you become part of a family. You will meet 

people from your own city and all over the world through capoeira events and practice. 

Live authentically: Capoeira is a total body, mind and emotional expression. It involves one's 

whole authentic person. As one grows more confident in the martial art, he or she also grows 

more confident in the ability to express one's unique voice. 

Surprised? Come and try a class of Capoeira! Thursday at 7:00 PM at Espaço 

Shekinah. 530, Antonio Carlos Marçal. Jd Paulistano.

English JOKE 

"The Court's Decision" 

This joke is about a couple getting divorced 

(ending their marriage) in a court of law. In 

most divorce cases, the husband ends up 

paying money called "alimony" to his wife, to 

help support her when she is alone. In this 

story, does the Judge explain his decision 

well enough? (*o*) 

“Mr. Clark, I have (1) reviewed this (2) case 

very carefully,” the divorce court Judge said, 

“And I've decided to give your wife $775 a 

week”. 

“That's very fair, (3) Your Honor,” the 

husband said. “And (4) every now and then 

I'll try to send her a few (5) bucks myself." 

(1) looked carefully or "looked over» 

(2) a problem discussed in a court of law 

(3) a polite title (name) for a Judge 

(4) sometimes (not very often) 

(5) dollars 

Horoscope 

Scorpio 

October 23 

November 21 

Explanation: When the Judge used the 

verb "give", he meant his decision would 

give the woman $775. It is normally the 

husband's duty (his requirement) to pay 

the alimony. But this man, when he heard 

the word "give", thought the Judge would 

pay it. Now THAT would be a very nice 

Judge! (^_^) 

You may not recognize just how lucky you are going to be this year, 

Scorpio! The Sun-Pluto conjunction at 2017's beginning may keep you wired, 

intense, and focused on your chosen work. Keep an eye out for lucky 

opportunities and be ready to pounce. Your modern planet Pluto will keep you 

sharp and intense all year long. 

The separating Mars-Neptune conjunction in Pisces may tug at your heart 

and conscience at times but your traditional planet Mars will keep you moving 

forward and won't let you sink into self-doubt. 

When Scorpio starts, the Sun is conjoined with Jupiter and Mercury. Your 

lucky streak comes out of this. Mars is just entering Libra, too. This keeps you 

involved and plugged in with other kindred spirits, and those with shared goals 

and intentions. 

Your drive for success is unwavering. Your craving for love and respect is 

also without limits. The outside world may be crazy at times but at the end of 

every day, you return to what matters most in your life. 

2017 is a powerful and empowering year when nothing can distract, 

disturb, or stop you if you’re determined. Go out and do it!
