Travelling 

A 15-year-old birthday 

in Disneyworld 

“The dream came true! Knowing the magical world of 

Disney is not only a dream for children. In May, 2017, I was 

able to make my dream come true with my family, also 

celebrating my daughter's 15th birthday in the fantastic 

show of Magic Kingdom. It was wonderful, I have no 

words to explain. Besides the experience, I had the chance 

to put my English in use and practice all the learning that I 

took from The House School.” 

Bay Lake, Flórida, EUA 

Joyce Oliveira / Danilo Pires 

Fun facts about Disney! 

1. Walt Disney World Resort encompasses 30,500 acres, 

making it approximately the same size as San Francisco. 

2. When Disney's Magic Kingdom Park first opened its 

doors on October 1, 1971, adult admission cost $3.50. 

3. The opening day crowd at Disney's Magic Kingdom Park 

was approximately 10,000 guests. 

4. Cinderella Castle is the tallest structure in Disney's 

Magic Kingdom Park at 189 feet, followed by Space 

Mountain at 183 feet. 

5. The Haunted Mansion uses state-of-the-art Omnimover

In the kitchen 

Mushroom and mozzarella 

burger with relish 

Large flat mushrooms filled with melty mozzarella make the perfect 

vegetarian burger, slathered in homemade tomato relish. Irresistible. 

This is designed to be a low cost recipe. 

Prep: 30 min 

Cook:30 min/ 1 h 

Ingredients 

For the relish 

1 tbsp olive oil 

1 onion, finely diced 

salt and pepper 

1 garlic clove, crushed 

200g/7oz tinned tomatoes 

1 tbsp white wine vinegar 

For the onions 

25g/1oz butter 

2 onions, finely sliced 

Level: easy Serves 4 

Method 

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

2. For the relish, heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and 

add the olive oil. Fry the onion and a pinch of salt in the oil for 4-5 

minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and cook for two 

minutes, then stir in the tomatoes and the vinegar. Gently simmer 

for five minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a relish 

consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Leave to 

cool. 

3. For the onions, heat a frying pan over a medium heat and melt the 

butter in the pan. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Turn down 

the heat and leave the onions, stirring now and again, to cook for 

25-30 minutes, or until dark golden in colour and completely 

collapsed. 

For the rest of the burger 

4 large flat mushrooms, stalk trimmed so it 

doesn’t come above the edge of the mushroom 

1 tbsp olive oil 

1 ball mozzarella 

4 burger buns, sliced in half 

4. For the rest of the burger, place the mushrooms with the stalk 

side facing up onto an oven tray, drizzle with the oil and season with 

salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until beginning 

to soften. Meanwhile slice the mozzarella ball into four equal slices. 

After the mushrooms have cooked for 10 minutes, remove from the 

oven and place a slice of mozzarella into each of the mushrooms on 

top of the stalk. Put back into the oven for 5-7 minutes to melt the 

mozzarella. 

5. To assemble, lightly toast the cut side of the burger buns. Spread 

with a little relish and then place the mushrooms on top of the 

bottom burger bun. Divide the onions among the burgers and add 

any remaining relish on top. Finish by sandwiching each burger with 

the remaining halves.

A tour in Europe 

Planning to go to Europe? Get some hints 

and tips from our students who´s been there! 

Vergueiro 

Ana Lúcia Garcia de Matos 

“In August this year, I visited some countries in 

Europe. Talking about them is very easy, once the 

experience was wonderful. 

My first destiny was Paris, France. This city, known 

worldwide by its historical monuments, reminded me 

of all the history I heard when in high school. Gigantic 

churches full of mysteries and art, charming palaces 

full of wealth and conquests and also spectacular 

gardens. It's hard to identify the French, being in 

Paris, because the number of tourists is really big. 

The French value their language, but when they see 

the tourist speaks no French, they communicate in 

English. My stay in France was only for 5 days, but it 

was enough to recognize that people who live in that 

city are polite and gentle. 

My next stop was Italy, in the region of Tuscany. I 

went to: Florence, Massa, Lucca, Pisa and Fiesole. 

These towns are mountainous and very green. 

When I was in Italy, it reminded me a lot about the 

Brazilian soap operas that portray Italy, since the 

places I saw were identical to the ones shown in the 

soap operas. The most remarkable thing in Italy is its 

gastronomic culture. A lot of pasta, fresh tomatoes, 

and much wine. People seem to be always happy 

and willing to help. 

As for the language, in each restaurant I was, the 

attendants spoke English, but I realized that elderly 

people speak only Italian, which in my opinion, is a 

very beautiful language. 

Next stop... Southern Ireland. In Southern Ireland, I 

stayed the whole time in the city of Dublin, a very 

bustling city and extremely "populated" by pubs. The 

pubs are always crowded from morning until dawn. 

Tourists and natives drink and sing loud and clear. 

The typical food is potato, cooked in every possible 

way. Irish people have their own dialect, but the 

spoken language is English. You listen to so much 

English when in Dublin, that when you meet a 

Brazilian on the streets, it looks like you're talking to a 

foreigner instead of a countryman of yours. In Dublin, 

we have, at the same weather: rain, cold, strong 

wind, breeze. The weather there is very unstable, but 

very enjoyable in August. 

My last stop was Northern Ireland, around the city of 

Belfast, where the Titanic Museum is located. 

Northern Ireland belongs to the United Kingdom, so 

the English spoken there is British. 

The native pronunciation there is extremely sweet to 

the ears. It's sweet at the same time it's also strong. 

There I visited: the Titanic Belfast Museum, the 

Giant's Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope 

Bridge. 

When I planned all this trip, I knew absolutely nothing of the English language. So, I enrolled in The House and started 

practicing. All I learned in 6 months at The House helped me a lot at reading the airport signs, trains, and restaurants. It 

was also important for communication, to understand the contexts of what people were talking. An interesting thing is the 

number of new words you learn being in another country. It's amazing for the vocabulary. 

I believe that without such basis, my trip wouldn't be so enjoyable as it was. Now, my goal is to learn and practice my 

English each and every day for the next trips, because I plan to have many... 

Thank you The House, and there I go, around the world!

Raíssa (?) 

Taking care of your car tires brings savings for your pocket. 

Did you know that taking good care of your car tires increases their life by up to 25%, 

therefore ensuring economy for your pocket and preserving the environment? So if they are 

to last longer, stick to our tips: 

Calibration 

The ideal thing is to calibrate your tires every 15 days having them cold, preferably in the morning. 

Check the correct calibration in the vehicle's manual, at the door or at the fuel cap. Low calibration 

causes tire's shoulders to wear off, forcing you to change them before expected. 

Rotation: 

Check the need to make tire rotation, to prevent irregular abrasion or scaling. It must be done every 

10,000 km. Most manufacturers recommend something quite simple: rear axle tires go to front and vice versa, always on the 

same side. 

Alignment: 

Steering wheel alignment is the adjustment of the wheels' position on the suspension to ensure comfort, safety and stability 

while driving. The alignment should be checked every 6 months or 10,000 km when changing the tires, or when you feel the 

vehicle is unstable, bending on one side or with a crooked steering wheel. 

Balancing: 

The service must be evaluated every 6 months or 10,000 km 

when the vehicle or steering wheel vibrates, and must be 

executed whenever the tire is replaced. 

Take care of your car tires so you don't have to change them 

before expected!!

The importance of The English 

language in today's world. 

Vergueiro 

English, in the increasingly globalized society we live in, is a 

universal language. Knowing this language, we can study, 

tra vel, do business… In short, it's the language to communicate with 

the whole world. 

Knowing the language also brings great benefits, both professionally and 

personally. In the job market, having fluent English will allow you to be seen as 

a capacitated professional, therefore allowing you to interact with foreign 

companies, representatives, traveling for business, and even reaching the 

highest positions within your company. 

In order to run a successful career, English is one of the crucial factors. In your 

personal life, English helps you interact with the world, travel abroad and go 

through the unique experience of knowing other countries. 

It also allows you to interact with foreign visitors that Brazil receives, once the 

number of tourists visiting our country is yearly increasing. We can then say 

that the conquest of a second language is fundamental in mankind´s 

development process. 

Gláucia Veronezi

What did you think about English before 

starting the course? And after starting it, 

do you still think the same? 

“I used to think that English was 

very difficult, with a lot of complex 

grammatical aspects that I would 

have to memorize. But after 

starting the course, I realized that 

English is much easier than 

Portuguese; we just have to keep 

practicing and the language will 

be natural and automatic.” 

Rodolfo Mihara, 24, psychologist 

“I thought it was necessary and 

very nice, because if I understood 

Portuguese then, I needed to 

study English now. English is used 

so much in our country.” 

Ines M C Santos, 57, 

retired/craftsmaker 

“I think my English is better now. 

Before I started the classes, my 

English was not so good, I had a lot 

of difficulties.”

“I'm studying English because I 

want to understand another 

language to study articles and 

books in English. My objective is 

to learn other languages.” 

Danilo Capilé, 37 years old, 

Why are you studying English? What are your goals? 

“I'm studying English because I want 

to increase and improve my level of 

comprehension. I hope to develop 

myself in a short time, so I can call 

people from other countries and be 

more strategic in my position.” 

Roberta Maria Lopes Martinussi, 27,

“Hello my friends. This year I went to the United 

States. I have been to New York, Washington and 

Miami and I have some very interesting things to 

tell you. If I hadn't learned how to speak English, I 

would have experienced a hurricane. 

I started my trip in New York, where there are 

many places to go and many cool things to do. That was not my first time 

there, but New York is so full of attractions that you can go there many 

times and it is never boring. 

After there, I went to Washington, where I tried to speak with Mr. Trump, 

but he didn't answer the bell at the White House. Probably he was busy; I 

understood. But, what happened in Miami was not so nice. Exactly the 

day I arrived there (Monday, September 4th), the news about the 

hurricane 'Irma' became worse and people got crazy. On Tuesday, the gas 

stations had no fuel to sell anymore; there was no food or water to buy at 

the supermarkets; something insane. And I felt really worried when on 

Tuesday midnight I received an email from American Airlines telling me 

that my flight to return to Brazil could be cancelled. It would be on that 

next Friday. Then, I turned on my computer and tried to anticipate my 

tickets to Wednesday. But the company site was frozen, probably 

because of the excess of attempts. Then I tried to call them; the operator 

answered my call and asked me what I wanted, I told her and she made it. 

It seemed to be quite easy, but on the next day when I was at the hotel 

lobby for my check out, I met some other Brazilian people hosted there 

and they told me that they had tried to do the same thing that I had done, 

but as none of them could speak English fluently, They couldn't make it. 

They said that they couldn't understand the operator and she seemed to 

misunderstand what they wanted, so, as she had many people to help, 

she hanged up the phone. They were almost desperate, because they 

would have to stay in Miami for at least one week or more with that 

hurricane. All flights after Thursday were already cancelled. At the 

airport, I saw many other Brazilians that had the same problem. They 

tried to anticipate their flights and they couldn't do it, many of them 

probably because of the lack of English. So they went to the airport to try 

doing it there. But I know that would be quite difficult. All confirmed 

flights were full by this time. Well, thanks to my study and practice of 

good English at The House, I escaped from that difficult situation.”

So, you are looking for a place to spend your next 

vacation but still don´t know where to go?? The 

House News will give you a little push and show some 

of the most popular places to have some fun and 

learn about culture! 

Why Go to Rome 

Rome, the city of seven hills, enjoyed 

a mythic beginning. Romulus and 

Remus — twin brothers who were 

nursed by a she-wolf and fathered 

by a war god — reportedly founded 

the Eternal City. And although 

historians are a little skeptical about 

this epic entry into the world, most 

travelers are absolutely certain that 

there is something magical about 

Rome. 

Why Go to Sydney 

Sydney is both a laid-back beachside 

town and a thriving metropolis that 

boasts some of the Southern 

Hemisphere's best surf, landmarks 

and activities. Whether you're 

looking to watch a show at the iconic 

Opera House, take to the waves at 

Bondi Beach or explore trendy areas 

like The Rocks and Darling Harbour, 

Sydney features something for 

everyone 

Why Go to Porto 

P o r t o h a s l o n g b e e n a h o t 

destination for wine lovers — it's the 

go-to place to find the best of that 

sweet, tasty port wine. But this city 

by the sea has more to offer than 

wine. Porto (or Oporto, as it's 

sometimes called) is an attractive 

European mini-metropolis on 

Portugal's northwestern coast 

where travelers can get their fill of 

culture and the outdoors. 

Why Go to London 

The English writer Samuel Johnson 

famously said, "You find no man, at 

all intellectual, who is willing to leave 

London. No, Sir, when a man is tired 

of London, he is tired of life; for there 

is in London all that life can afford." 

More than two centuries have 

passed since Johnson's era, but his 

words still ring true. 

Why Go to Paris 

The City of Light draws millions of 

v i s i t o rs e v e r y ye a r w i t h i t s 

unforgettable ambiance. Of course, 

the divine cuisine and vast art 

collections deserve some of the 

credit as well. The gentle River Seine 

rambles through the city, flanked by 

stately museums and centuries-old 

churches. 

Why Go to New York City 

Cool, cosmopolitan, crowded, 

constantly evolving … the Big Apple 

blends big city splendor with smalltown 

charm. Amid Gotham's iconic 

l a n d m a r k s a n d t o w e r i n g 

skyscrapers, you'll experience a 

vibrant culture permeating each of 

the city's distinctive neighborhoods 

and boroughs.

The best professions 

around the world 

Nowadays, the world market is opened to every kind of area where 

the professionals can express their abilities freely. However, this 

freedom has caused a problem: some of the main careers that 

support the society are lacking mostly in the professional scenery of 

the best living places all around the world. Check them out and 

surprise yourself: 

1. Software Developer 

Software is quite literally taking over the world. As the role of computers 

continues to expand, so does the demand for people to build the software we 

rely so heavily on. It is now the most in demand profession around the world. 

2. Engineers 

Engineers are wanted universally. And we're talking electronics engineers, 

civil engineers, engineering managers, mechanical engineers, industrial 

engineers – the list could go on. Why? Because there is an increasing demand 

for engineers to create and build high-quality systems. 

3. Doctors and medical practitioners 

There can never be too many doctors given their skills have the ability to save 

millions of lives every year. But they are still needed all over the world. From 

Ireland to Japan, pretty much every country you can think of is constantly 

seeking new doctors. 

4. Accountants 

Like actuaries, accountants are in high demand due to their statistical and 

technical knowledge. They can also be paid an absolute fortune if 

successful, but there just aren't enough of them out there. Most positions 

are available in Europe, South America and Asia.

Special Class of the month: 

SPEAK UP 

“Speak Up is a 

great class 

because it is 

possible to 

create our 

ideas about 

speech topics 

and our main 

benefit is the 

interaction 

with other 

people.” 

Ana Paula 

Camargo 

“This class 

was very good 

because I 

practiced my 

vocabulary, 

the exercise 

wasn't that 

difficult for 

me and I 

could speak 

free.” 

Vinicius 

Augusto 

Florentino 

Grigoleto 

“The Speak 

Up is a very 

interesting 

class because 

you need to 

solve 

problems and 

end up 

meeting 

different 

people and 

subjects. We 

also force 

ourselves to 

speak a lot, 

and that's 

always cool.” 

Wenderson 

G. Andrade 

“My 

experience 

with the Speak 

Up was very 

good because I 

spoke with 

other students 

in different 

chapters and I 

knew them a 

little more.” 

Liliam Silva 

dos Santos 

“This is what I 

am searching 

for my 

professional 

life. A didactic 

and useful 

class, that 

encourages us 

to seek always 

more our 

goals.” 

Alexandre Silva 

“I liked the 

concept of this 

different class 

because it is a 

challenge for 

us. In the first 

exercise we 

created a 

strategy for a 

new company 

and presented 

it in front of 

the class.” 

Lucas da Silva 

Brioschi 

“The Speak Up 

experience is 

very useful to 

learn because 

you need to 

express ideas 

and thoughts.” 

Lucas Rangel 

Cecconi 

“I do enjoy 

Speak Up 

classes. They 

are very useful 

to practice and 

enhance our 

speaking and 

pronunciation 

as well.” 

Andreia Avila 

Soares Oliveira 

“The Speak Up 

class is a very 

interesting and 

useful class. Its 

themes make 

the students 

think and get 

into a 

brainstorming 

to reach a final 

idea. It's a 

fusion of 

Speaking class 

and Show Off 

class. 

Caio Cesar Q. 

Gomes, Shin 

“Speak Up 

class is a 

perfect class 

for improving 

our speech. 

The proposal 

of a high level 

conversation 

is really good 

for the 

students.” 

Natália Ap. 

Junqueira, 

Resh 

“The Speak 

Up class is a 

very difficult 

class, but it's 

one of the 

best because 

the students 

need to think 

and 

sometimes 

improvise to 

solve the 

problem 

proposed.” 

William C. 

Gomes, Teth 

“I like this type 

of class because 

it stimulates 

our 

conversation. 

For me, it is 

difficult to go in 

front of the 

class, but I 

know that is 

very 

important.” 

Larissa Bueno 

Tofani, Resh 

“I like to talk in 

front of the 

class, it's good 

to discuss 

about different 

topics. These 

topics can't be 

so technical 

and they need 

to be easy to 

discuss.” 

Priscila R. 

Câmara, Tzade 

“I think it is a 

good class to 

help us to 

develop our 

abilities, 

especially 

speaking and 

creative 

thinking. We 

need to talk to 

our groups and 

be brave to 

speak in front 

of the class.”

PROFICIENCY 

TESTS 

Sooner or later, 

you are going 

to face one! 

Jéssica Bruschi 

A proficiency test measures a learner's level of language. It can 

be compared with an achievement test, which evaluates a 

learner's understanding of specific material, a diagnostic test, 

which identifies areas to work on, and a prognostic test, which 

tries to predict a learner's ability to complete a course or take an 

exam. Proficiency tests are uncommon within the classroom 

but very frequent as the end aim (and motivation) of language 

learning. 

Example 

IELTS, TOEFL, TEAP, Michigan, Cambridge are examples of 

proficiency tests. 

A good preparation course is always necessary for a good 

performance in a proficiency test. The House school offers 

preparation courses for the TOEFL IBT, TOEFL ITP and TEAP. 

TEAP EXPERIENCE 

“My experience with The House School was very fast, but 

extremely efficient. I came to the school for the TEAP 

proficiency preparation for the Master´s Degree Program, but 

there wasn't time to really prepare myself. The coordination 

and the teachers received me and made a scheme of VIP classes 

according to my disposition. 

During my classes, I paid attention and was totally focused on 

my goal to absorb all the content that the teacher was passing to 

me. I had access to a great content of exercises for homework as 

the classes were more dynamic. At the end of my experience of 

only three classes, I obtained a 62-point TEAP certificate of 

proficiency, which enabled me to enroll in the Academic 

Master's Degree. 

I recommend The House School to all people, mostly those who 

seek a quick and practical course, just as I needed and 

succeeded. Congratulations to all those involved in the 

wonderful work and progress that is The House School.”

A trip to Asia – from receptionist Beatriz Bisson 

Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia and 

Thailand 

I spent a year and a half in Asia working as a model. I 

had the opportunity to know countries like 

Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia and 

Thailand. At first it was a bit complicated, because I did 

not have enough English and not enough people to 

help me communicate. Within some time I met some 

Brazilians who were in the same agency that I was 

working for, and they began to help me formulate 

more concrete sentences, and in time, things got 

better. 

English was extremely important to communicate with new friends, with whom I have contact 

until today. With clients, and makeup artists to better understand what was being asked by 

them in the pagents and photos and also for locomotion and finding locations and places.

Social project 

Martial Arts around the World: Brazil (Capoeira) 

Brazil is a very colorful country that has also been one of the worlds leading exporters of 

culture, in large part due to its fusion of Native American, Latin and African roots. One national 

treasure from this nation that has gone on to garner international acclaim: the Afro-Brazilian 

dancing/martial art of Capoeira. Capoeira is a beautiful practice that is synonymous with smiling 

faces, dance, flexibility and athleticism. Today it is embraced and practiced all over the world; from 

the streets of rural Brazil, to lavish studio lofts in major urban centers like New York City, to the Atlantic 

beaches in countries like Angola to festivals across Japan. Capoeira has become a source of happiness 

and camaraderie for many, a remarkable outcome considering its dark past. 

Origins 

Between the 15th and 19th centuries, the business of human trafficking across the Atlantic was at its 

apex, and numerous innocent people from across West Africa: many of whom spoke different 

languages and had different cultures, were transported to transit hubs like this one were they were 

sorted, grouped without regard for their cultural differences, and similar to the death trains during 

Germany's Holocaust were eventually shipped across the Atlantic to either die or begin new lives as 

“slaves.” Portugal, once heavily involved in this business, would be responsible for smuggling 

approximately four million people to their various colonies, including Brazil. These unfortunate souls 

were infused into the Brazilian/Portuguese labor machine whose main purpose was to support sugar 

cane processing and production (slaves were also used in other industries e.g. coffee, glass making, 

etc). Capoeira is widely believed to have been born out of the frustrations of this era, and similar to the 

American Hip-Hop movement in its earlier days, incorporated many aspects of dance and storytelling 

in response to the severe oppression and seemingly insurmountable marginalization faced by the 

captives in their new home. Not surprisingly, it is not known who exactly came up with the idea for 

Capoeira. This makes sense as there were little to no written accounts from slaves in that era. 

Capoeira would go on to play a significant role in many resistance movements across Brazil up until 

until the abolition of slavery in that region in 1888. Post slavery, Capoeira would face persecution by 

the colonial Brazilian government, and was deemed illegal up until the 1920s. Today, Capoeira has 

emerged from its dark past to become a global phenomenon and a source of pride for Brazil.

English JOKE 

«Perfect Hearing" 

This joke is about three elderly (older) men 

who think they can hear perfectly. What do 

you think? 

“Three (1) retirees, each with (2) a hearing 

loss, were playing golf one fine March day. 

One (3) remarked to the other, (4) "Windy, 

isn't it?" 

«No," the second man replied, "it's 

Thursday." 

And the third man (5) chimed in, "So am I. 

Let's have a beer." 

(1) elderly people who have finished working 

(they have "retired") 

(2) they can not hear as well as they could when 

they were younger 

(3) he said something about what he saw 

(4) there is a lot of wind 

(5) he said happily 

Horoscope 

Sagittarius 

November 22 

December 21 

Explanation: The second man thought 

"Windy" was Wednesday (so he replied "No, 

it's Thursday") then the third man thought 

"Thursday" was "thirsty" (so he thought of 

drinking some beer!). I guess their hearing is 

not as good as they think! 

2017 is a year wide open with opportunities for Sagittarians. There is plenty of 

energy that will prompt you to dig in and make tremendous progress. 

There are also countless doors opening to new, previously unconsidered projects, 

pursuits, and partnerships. Forget those preconceived notions of what you should do 

or need to do. This year, you can do just about anything. 

The Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn in January keeps your attention on career 

and public pursuits. You're not limited to being intense only about work, though. If 

you have a creative or other passion, you can get intense about that, too. 

2017 starts with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn but the planet goes direct in 

Sagittarius. Work steady but aim high. The fourth and final Mercury retrograde is 

entirely in Sagittarius. Saturn spends the year in Sagittarius so Mercury's extra time 

there in December only improves your grasp on whatever situation is developing 

around you. 

When the Sun enters Sagittarius in November, planets are scattered around the 

sky. There is a Mercury-Saturn conjunction, however, that sharpens your keen mind 

and tempers your social activities. 

The asteroid Ceres is also transiting the Lunar North Node in glorious Leo. 

Nurturing yourself and your loved ones has never been easier or more satisfying.
