Holiday Camp

Vacation is arriving and teenagers that won't travel wants something different to do, since stay home is very boring. So, a holiday camp is an exellent alternative.
There are many camps, and different kinds too, but the sure is that teenagers wiil meet new people and will have the oportunity to make new friends.

There are many actividies too, including many sports and games.
For parents it is very good too, because their sons won't be at home playing video games, surfing in the net and eating for almost a month.
So, if you are a parent or a sun,and want something different in this vacation, search for a holiday camp and be happy.

Scholastic Aptitude Test

The Scholastic Aptitude Test better known by most students, parents and teachers as the SAT, is a standardized test taken by college applicants for admitance into the college or university of choice. The Scholastic Aptitude Test is designed to test the skills of a student attempting to enter an institution of higher learning to indicate the student's scholastic readiness for such a place.
Since there are so many differences in funding, curricula, grading systems, etc., the S.A.T. is a way to help colleges and universities get a more generalized idea of a student's ability to succeed at this level. The Scholastic Aptitude Test is widely accepted by many colleges and universities throughout the country.
In Brazil, we have the ENEM (Exame Nacional do Ensino Medio) witch is trying to copy the so congratulated SAT, but ENEM is a newbee, is have a lot of failures, people who don't think that ENEM is good enought to measure ones skills, in my opinion, ENEM is just a baby for shure, but the important is the meaning of it, we have e lot more to learn and maybe, sometime, ENEM will be recognized as the famous SAT

SAT, an eficient method

The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly the Scholastic Aptitude Test or Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized testfor college admissions in the United States. The SAT is owned, published, and developed by the College Board, a not-for-profit organization in the United States. It was formerly developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service which still administers the exam. The test is intended to assess a student's readiness for college. It was first introduced in 1901, and its name and scoring have changed several times.
The current SAT Reasoning Test, introduced in 2005, takes three hours and forty-five minutes to finish, and costs $49 ($75 International), excluding late fees. Possible scores range from 600 to 2400, combining test results from three 800-point sections (Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing).
Taking the SAT or its competitor, the ACT, is required for many, but not all, universities in the United States.


As you can see, SAT is a type of "ENEM" used in the United States. Actually, Brazil is trying to copy this style, because is a suceed method in the USA and our country wants a better and harder way to students to enter in college.
Everybody knows that USA has the best professionals, so, SAT is an eficient method. Brazil is very right about trying a method like this, and the result we will see in the future, maybe in a near future.

Harry Potter

 

The Script could say that “together we cry” about the end of the story of the most famous wizard around the world. Yes, it all ends. When I’ve finished reading the books, I cried - I grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione, and now it just end? – and got this mantra ‘I still have the movies, they didn’t end’.

Now the final movie premiere is in one week . I know what is going to happen with Harry - I really hope that this second part of Deathly Hallows is as loyal to the book as the first - but I can’t wait to watch it.

Well, if you are a Harry Potter fan, I have two ideas for your vacation:

Watch the final movie and go to Disneyland, where you can walk on the streets of Hogsmeade, drink a butterbeer, and go inside Hogwarts physically. Ok, you don’t have money enough, if so, go to the movies, be happy because you have the books and can be in Hogwarts mentally whenever you want; rent the other seven movies or download them and save money to go to Disneyland.

Remember, J.K promised us information she never gave us before on Pottermore, if you don’t know about this website, you’re not a super fan, if you want to, google it.

St. Hilary

Finally our long-waited holidays are coming and today I brought you a hint of a wonderful place.

I went there this last holiday and it is more beautiful than ever; St. Hilary.

St. Hilary is the only district of Pepper, the village has just over 100 inhabitants and is situated on the banks of the lake of Furnas.

Furnas Lake is the largest expanse of water of the State of Minas Gerais and one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, this is called “Sea of Minas Gerais”.

Historically, the region retains the memory of the indigenous tribes that lived there, the trails of the pioneers in search of gold, farms and secular rebels of the Quilombo, however, that story sank in February 1963, when the lake level rose by on houses, crops and even cities, changing the place definitely.  It also made that new villages were created, like St. Hilary which has beautiful scenery, as the old bridge of Saint-Hilary, beautiful waterfalls, cozy little bars and a lively and welcoming people.

This is a great option for relaxing, dating, boating in the waterfalls and enjoying the holidays in a quiet place with a wonderful scenery.

Happy holidays to all!

Kisses!
