10.+12th+F+folks,+ASSESSMENT+TIME+...

The schoolyear is coming to a close. So, let's assess all the work done and share some opinions! Point all all the positive and not so positive, or even negative points!... Just let me jot down a few topics for you to consider: ** A. Expectations - Were they fulfilled or not? Why (not)? **I'd say that my expectations for 12th grade English were fulfilled. For me, this year gave me the opportunity to improve my speaking skills and also discuss current issues. The teacher managed to keep the classes fun and still educational about several topics. Marta Ferreira Completely fulfilled. I think we made an excelent choice when we had to decide which subject will we choose. More than improving language skills like writing, reading or even speaking the classes were a "place" where we could learn a lot about cultures, people, events, history, art, music... And of course the teacher helped a lot by making each lesson better time after time. Rita Pinto I am also completely fulfilled. On one hand, the oral presentations were simply awesome and much more funnier than previous years. With them we improved a lot, such as our speaking confidence and technique. On the other hand, the combination between exciting lessons and important issues created a great atmosphere that kept us thrilled throughout the year. Therefore, this year overcome indeed my expectations. Tiago
 * 10. 12th F folks, ASSESSMENT __TIME__ ... **** This page will be open till Sunday, 3rd June. Please, edit the page and start participating. Be creative and innovative, or even better, BE YOU!!!! **

With you always and no need to say why :D Mr.Ramos
=== My expectations were fulfilled because there was not much change from the 10th grade until now. I did not expected things to change and they didn't, in a matter of fact, it is just as the whole life itself: nothing ever changes. The best part of this is that good things like the English classes always keep good. Almeida ===

I've made a good choice when I chose English as my 12th subject. I loved working one more year with you, I think the whole class did a great work and the teacher managed, at the beggining of the year, to do activities which helped us knowing each other better. Mariana Ferreira

Even though English was not one of my first two choices, I believe it turned out to be quite more than a mere "substitute subject". I can honestly say my expectations were clearly surpassed. Guilherme Cerveira I'm very pleased to read that your expectations were fulfilled. As for me, this year exceeded my expectations. Although the road was bumpy sometimes, it turned out to be one of the best years of my professional life. Questions I asked myself at the beginning of the year: And now, what I am going to do being the only teacher and noone to talk to in order to discuss options? How am I going to cope with a completely new syllabus? How to integrate the new students and make the 12th F a TOP class? Are they going to like it? Am I going to be able to motivate them all? Am I going to touch their hearts? The end is near, my work is done. Now, it's up to you to evaluate it and me. It's JUDGEMENT DAY:)) If I didn’t regret the choice I made earlier this year, now I can definitely say that English - 12th grade  was a  really good choice ! We can have fun while we are improving our English, and oral presentations for me were the best performances of three years . If my expectations were fulfilled?  Yes!! J Margarida Aguiar =I chose English in spite of all the difficulties I had with other teachers, in the other two years, because I like English and I thought that maybe this year could be different, who knows, and fortenately it worked out, I had a fantastic teacher that really knows what´s she teaching using funny things/materials... So yes I am fulfilled with this last school year! Gonçalo Pipo =

I have to be sincere I have chosen English because it increases my grades but I don't regret the decision I took. I really enjoyed every lesson and it was even better than my expectations. Congratulations for being such a good Teacher! :D Filipa Farreca Yes, i chose english because i wanted (and still want) to move overseas, so this was a good opportunity for me to learn more about this language. With hard word and a great teacher i can honestly say that yes, my expectations were more than fulfilled.-Nuno Branco Yes, i chose english not only because its something i like but because of how we work in english class, i could always look forward the next lesson because i knew it would be different than the previous one and that avoided me from losing focus. I had a subject i liked, a great teacher and a superb method of teaching. What is not to like? Bruno Correia

I enjoyed our classes very much. I know I keep saying this, all the time, but I got really suprised and glad when I evaluated our English level as a class. Our debates, oral presentations and opinion sharing are in a quite high level, I dare to say! And the activities we had in class allowed us to evolve even more, and to lose the fear or anxiety we might have felt before when we spoke English. Thank you all. (: **Joana Pereira, 12F**

** B. Contents / topics dealt with - Which one(s) did you like best and least? Why? **For me, the most interesting topic we discussed was in the beginning of the year, when we talked about child labor. We discussed a very prominent humanitarian issue in today's world. So, the most interesting topics were humanitarian issues. The least interesting is the varieties of English and the accents. While it's fun to hear different accents, we aren't really discussing a major topic. Marta Ferreira In my opinion the topic about 50's-90's was one of the best. We had the opportunity to watch a really good play about issue and do some work about each decade from where we could learn a lot in terms of music, arts and history. The less interesting was the one about economy when we saw "Wall Street" because I don't consider the topic captivating and the world of finance and economy it's not for me. Rita Pinto In my opinion, I liked a lot the play from Virginia Woolf. I think it was one of the most interesting topics. In addition, Forrest Gump and the themes discussed about this movie were also really, really interesting. As I also enjoyed the English variety and the stolen generations, I would say that the Wall Street and the economy was the less interesting theme. Yet, I liked to talk about the occupy wall street movement and the way they manage to spread their ideas, the way they fight for justice and for a fair share of wealth and also because it is an update issue. Tiago

My favourites were Invictus and Wall Street. Almeida
The topic I liked the most was the one related with 60's-90's because I got to know a lot about culture... and I loved those games we played in the group work :) every group came with different and good ideas which made the all class interact. Mariana Ferreira

I was also quite keen on the 60's-90's topic. I have always been very curious about the lifestyle in those times, and our discussions on the matter alongside with "Virginia Wolf" 's play were the top moments of the year for me. Guilherme Cerveira It seems to me each one of you liked different topics as it was expectable. But, all in all, all the topics were mentioned, which means they all have their attraction and special flavour... I liked Virginia Woolf’s play and topic, I also think 50’s-90’s art and culture was a funny topic too, because we saw original presentations of each decade and played games to guess about which movies, musics and celebrities were they talking to. Different accents and that video which teacher showed in class about that boy who spoke 25 accents were interesting too. For me, “Wall Street”’s topic was the least interesting, besides I learned lots of new expressions and concepts about the world economy. Margarida Aguiar I'm so glad to notice that Tiago, Cerveira and Ana Margarida mentioned the "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" project. It proves that studying literary texts can be fun. It only depends on the way we do it... You sure proved you were incredibly creative students who react very well and succeed studying literature. And as they said at the APPI convention "Nothing succeeds like success" :))

Just like Tiago, Cerveira e Margarida I really liked the play Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf I think students should go more to theatre because the actors performances are incredible. I also enjoyed a lot the movie Forrest Gump. Filipa Farreca

The play //Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf//, for sure! And also the debates related to the film //Charlotte Gray//. We had a discussion in class abour that film that was, in my opinion, one of the best. **Joana Pereira, 12F**

=My favourite topic in this year of english was "Accents all over the world" altough it was the last it was the best. We laughed a lot. Gonçalo Pipo =

Thats a bit hard to decide, but i can narrow it down to the 50's-90's topic since it was fun to learn what happened and how we lived back then or the "accents all over the world" because you got to love funny accents even if the feel like stereotypes Bruno Correia

** C. Class activities / materials - Which activities / materials used did you like best? And least? Why? **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 23px;">The open class discussions where we had to move from seats and the oral presentations were the best, of course, we could laugh a lot with some performances and we could improve our speaking skills. <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 23px;">Rita Pinto The stand-up comedy videos, the oral presentations and the lessons which we had to improvise were to me the best activities. Tiago

I did not like the homework. Almeida
We develop our speaking capacities, I think. We talked a lot and the activities helped us trying to improve by ourselves, which is really good. Mariana Ferreira In my view, the oral presentations clearly outstood from the rest of the activities. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of freedom you gave us (even though we crossed the mark sometimes...). Guilherme Cerveira

The best of our English classes, in these 3 years, were the viewing activities, and the oral presentations expecially, something we were not used to do in 9 grade, but a thing we loved to do as it was inovative and made us closer to each other. André Néri I really come to the conclusion that all the activities connected with the speaking skill were the most appreciated. I also loooooveeee them. All the roleplays, improvisations, pyramid discussions, games... were very funny and motivating. As for you, Almeida, you're right HOMEWORK "sucks":(( but... <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">For me the best activities were: the movies we saw (specially “Keeping up with the Joneses”, “Into the Wild” and “Forrest Gump”), oral presentations, stand-up comedy videos, 50’s-90’s group works, improvisation (that one about the fire) and viewing activities. Margarida Aguiar

I have really enjoyed giving a class, and "stepping in the teachers shoes". I understood then that she has to be really creative to make all our classes so fun. That was definitively my favourite one. **//__Nuno Loureiro__//**

For me oral presentations were the best. Filipa Farreca Personally i enjoyed the most the viewing activities because they're a much more relaxing way of teaching, and obviously that is something that we students care a lot.We get bored easily, however, while watching a movie we never lose focus.-Nuno Branco oral and improvisation activities were great, they helped us evolve our speaking skills and still manage to have fun Bruno Correia =I loved the improvisation group works because it made me unleash a part of me that I did not no, specially if working with Bruno x) an awsome guy, the best improvising! Gonçalo Pipo =

** D. Which was the best movie project that I suggested? And the most terrible? Why? **Forrest Gump was the best. It's a really great movie and it talked about several topics we had already discussed or were about to discuss. Marta Ferreira Forrest Gump and the play "Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf?" were the best. We managed to talk and discusse about interesting topics and both films contain a very good historical background. The "most" terrible was "Wall Street" because I did not find the theme of the movie interesting and I don't like things that are related with money or economy. Rita Pinto Forrest Gump was simply the best. I don’t think it was suggested a terrible movie. In my opinion, from the beginning, Charlotte Gray, till the end, Australia, every single project had a lot of content. Tiago

Invictus and Wall Street were the best. Australia was the worst. Almeida
As Almeida said Invictus was my favourite movie. About the worst, I don't think the teacher suggested anything horrible, but the one I liked the least was Wall Street. Mariana Ferreira

Forrest Gump was already one of my favourite films but, I have to say, I also enjoyed watching Wall Street. For me, the frenetic business world and the pretty accurate financial expressions/situations were the strong points of the film. Guilherme Cerveira

The one I liked the most was Forrest Gump as it was an inspirational film with great actors and a really strong message in the way we wish to deal our problems and the way we solve them. André Néri I believe till now "Forrest Gump" was the most enjoyed by you. As for "Wall Street", opinions diverge. I feared the topic really at first because it's too complicate for teens and probably not your cup of tea:(( However, it turnd out being a question of honour for me. So, I desperatley tried to make the topic as interesting as possible and it turned out that I liked teaching it and loved introducing and developing the movie project:)) Congratulations to you all! Motivated teachers do make a difference!!!!... <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The beloved Forrest Gump was my favorite one. It was your best choice teacher! In relation to Wall Street, even we didn’t like the topic as you were expected, you already prepared us for the business world, so thank you! :p Margarida Aguiar

=In my opinion the best film I saw in class was Forrest Gump because of his naivety joined with the movie's historical record without changing history's course. But the movie I disliked the most was Charlotte Gray, and to be fair, teacher, this was the most boring movie between the ones you showed... Sorry for being so direct... :) Gonçalo Pipo = = =

It seems that everybody enjoyed it, for me Forrest Gump was the best movie because it connected many themes in a funny way. Filipa Farreca
Even tought i had already watched Forrest Gump, it still was my favourite movie project. It is just a brilliant peace of art with comedy at his best and terrific actors like Tom Hanks. However, the movie i desliked the most was Wall Street. The movie was about a subject that i really don´t appreciate a lot.-Nuno Branco

Forrest Gump hands down. why? its funny as hell and still manages to be serious enough to tell a story with a deep meaning Bruno Correia

** E. Which class(es) did you like the most? And the least? Why? **I enjoyed a lot the different classes, like the oral presentations and the “circles”, which forced us to be on a constant movement and participation. Therefore, I think they were a great opportunity to speak and improve our skills. In addition, they were good to know each other better. Tiago The classes I enjoy the most are the ones when we show the roleplays! the one with the stand up comedians were really great, but in general, we used to laugh a lot in every class :) Mariana Ferreira Not wanting to be repetitive, but the oral presentations, as I previously said, were tops! Guilherme Cerveira As everyone might agree, the oral presentation classes are definetely the best. André Néri It turns out you mention the oral presentations again. However, I would like you to refer to classes I taught really, or my classes had no interesting moments????:(( Oral presentations are your work and doing, not mine. Tiago mentioned the "circles" activity, or the language games activities and gave a few reasons for his choice. That's more what I wanted... just checking where your heart really is:)) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The best classes were the ones of the roleplays, we had so much fun and we can open a theater company for sure! But we used to laught a lot everyday with class’s opinions. Margarida Aguiar

As I said before my favourite classes were the oral presentations, but I also liked the discussions in every class because it not only evolves our speaking skills but it also helps us develop as citizens. Filipa Farreca

** F. How did you like your teacher? What were/are her qualities as a teacher and as a person? What about her defects? (I promise it won't interfere with your mark... So, be honest pleaseeeee! **The Teacher is a really nice woman that knows how to catch students attention by many ways. In some occasions she manages to mix herself with us without creating a line where the teacher is above the students. Probably one of the best teachers I have ever had, Rita Pinto  What surprises me is the fact that The Teacher keeps on trying to catch our interest with several aids, so that we can learn the issues in a funnier way. Also, to me, one of the best qualities is that she not only cares about us as a teacher but also as a friend, and that provides a great bond between the class and her. Definitely one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Tiago

I prefer my teachers medium rare, seasoned with a bit of chili pepper, accompanied with quinoa and a good rosé. Almeida
Through these 3 years we had the chance to know each other better, and for me you were as our second mother. You helped us whenever we needed and you defended us till the end. I don't know how you could handle all of our 10th and 11th problems, serious :p Mariana Ferreira

I think that we have here an outstanding teacher, that is always there to support us when we need, that is always on our side, even though, sometimes, she shouldn't, and she is always concerned with us, which is something he don't see in many teachers. And so, for all she has done, and still does for us, I want to say thank you. There is no doubt on her professionalism as a teacher, and on her greatness as a human beeing. André Néri Very interesting answer, Almeida AhAhAh! I'll try to be spicier and hotter:P (in the good sense, of course...) But is there any good sense for the word hot!!??? :P <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">During these years, you already know all of our personalities with our virtues and defects, you are our dt, teacher, our friend and our second mother , always there to defend and support us. We won’t forget you, and thank you! Margarida Aguiar

I had never worked with you, and know i don't remember how it's was before... Your were one of the best teachers i've ever had. After all, we are in an open relationship! :P thank you for everything!!!! **//__Nuno Loureiro__//** "A teacher wants to teach. I mean, why else would you take a shitty salary, and really long hours, and do that job, unless you really love to do it?" MATT DAMON (please check the following video [|Matt Damon at Save our School] Just like Matt Damon I was also raised by a teacher. Both my mother and my godmother/aunt were primary school teachers. (My mother specially taught me the value of MOTIVATION, TENDERNESS, STANDING UP for a student in need) I also went to public schools. And "I wouldn't trade that education and experience for anything. I had incredible teachers." (I'll never forget my 7th form Portuguese teacher who taught me the value of LOVE and FRIENDSHIP / COMPANIONSHIP. I'll never forget my 10th form English teacher who taught me the value of LEARNING A LANGUAGE and COMMUNICATION. I'll never forget my University German teacher either. He taught me the value of COURAGE, FIGHTING and NEVER GIVING UP) SO, what I am today, the things I value most about myself - my neverending capacity to love, my imagination, my love of learning and teaching, my passion for reading, writing, acting, dancing, my unquestionable dedication to music and literature also "come from how I was parented and taught". I also had some poor teachers but those I tend to forget ... I loved having you as my teacher, you had the strengh to deal with our class problems and even defend us, I only have an advice to give you :p you must be more positive!! Filipa Farreca  Finally someone mentioned a defect... I was starting to think I was perfect :P However, Filipa, I wouldn't say I'm negative, but overemotional, taking things too seriously sometimes. I do have to change that:(( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwsKWiXlA78 for you ,because you deserve it :D in this 3 years you were more than a teacher !! mother, friend (lover xD) it doesn't matter... you helped me when i needed, you asked me if it was everything all right when i was feeling low, you made me laugh , you made me think ... so many things that i won t forget!!! Sorry if I didn t did the same for you :(( ... When you were not feeling so good i knew that i should ask and hug you, instead i stayed always sit and mute...some people, including you, think i am a cold person with no emotions, with no feelings about others :( but i can assure you that i always in that moments thought on you as i do for the others... If we never had met you DMP would never exists , we would never be nasty as we were in times xD , I would not improved my english xD , and others things that only god knows... You just have one defect : sometimes you are very concerned with us like a "mae galinha" and take too serious some behaviours what only do wrong to you ... You have to be more loose . I love as everyone does as I said we won t ever forget you; now you are part of our lives like we are part of yours and no one can change it!!! I hope one day we meet again and remenber that good years we passed together ;) I will miss you !!!!!! ;) ** Emanuel Ramos **

__**//For me you were a great teacher, made a memorable effort to catch our attention in class and to don’t bore us. Your teach techniques were really unique and very good. Since the videos, to the music’s, to the movies, chair games, talk shows, all your classes were amazing, different and unforgettable ! Thank you for all your efforts, and for all the hours you passed working to make us smile and have fun in English Classes ! Marcos Daniel//**__

** G. What would you like to have changed, added or simply taken away? ** I have no regrets. Almeida

nothing :) Mariana Ferreira

It pleases me you had "no regrets". I have no regrets either, just excellent memories that will always accompany me throughout life. Even the "not so good" moments made me develop as a human being and some turned into funny experiences... I love BLACK HUMOUR, don't you simply love it? I only changed one thing... I've add more english classes and less of the others! __**//Nuno Loureiro//**__ =Do not change even a bit! Gonçalo Pipo =

** H. Any special memories you will keep? Funny moments you'll never forget? Which ones? ** Oral presentations. Almeida

yes, oral presentations, and i'll never forget that English classes were the ones where we laughed more. Mariana Ferreira

SHRIMP and of course the others class' presentations! Tiago

Oral presentations, and those lessons at the end of every term when you shared some gifts with us. Only 2 teachers did that in my entire life, and I have them in my heart. And it is not because of the gifts themselves, but because of the intention and the concern involved, trying to please us. André Néri Oral presentations definitely go without saying. Those are also some of my best memories. But what about some special moments? Memories connected to specific classes? Mariana, that was a really nice thought to say that "English classes were the ones where we laughed more" and Néri, I liked your special touch "not because of the gifts"... AhAhAh... OK let me see! My last funny memory was Nuno Loureiro saying "we are in an open relationship", Cerveira and his naughty smile, Emanuel and his sex-related jokes, Tiago and his "Shrimp", that class with "The Dance of the Chairs" and... Come on! Refresh my memory!!!! I'm very glad to have been one of your best memories... I'm proud. One of my best ones are of course, oral presentations and all the moments that we had a smile on our faces!!! Thank you for that! **//__Nuno Loureiro__//** You're right, Nuno Loureiro, there are so many private jokes I should have mentioned, but as I'm turning senile, it's too difficult to remember them all:(( Oh, yeah, I also forgot so many private mails, some of them funny, others more serious, of course, which I treasure deeply. (I'd like to point out Mariana Ferreira's private e-mails as she has always managed to make me think of the best and sweetest memories all these 3 years and she helped me go through a lot.) Last but not least, I have to refer to DMP ... I'd better not be that specific, in this case:P Oral Presentations for sure! Filipa Farreca Oral presentations of course :) I saved all my scripts for one day play it again x) there are plots that are precious than gold xD You always did a bad face when we were presenting our plays but in the deep you loved it !! x)

Tiago's shy look while marta was performing her awkward lap dance.- Nuno Branco

Oral presentations, so many memories, so much laughter Bruno Correia

=Like Bruno said Oral Presentations, but also improvisation ones!!! Gonçalo Pipo =

** I. Any suggestions for the coming students:)) **Treat the teacher really well because she cares more about us than any other teacher they will ever have. Bring her to their funny moments as a class. And face her as just one more friend. Rita Pinto

Praise Z. P. Almeida, for he is the greatest of men. (And do not be too much displeasing to your English teacher, she is great) Almeida
keep doing your good work teacher :) Mariana Ferreira

Don’t you dare to annoy the Teacher otherwise you are doomed. Also, make the teacher laugh a lot with oral presentations and so on. And to finish, just like Mariana said, keep on the good work teacher. Tiago

I make Rita's words mine as well. André Néri Very nice thoughts indeed!!!! THANKS, "my children"! BIG hugs & kisses:)) <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Yes, I agree with Rita e Mariana, they said everything! Margarida Aguiar

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Never let the younger one drink, even a beer ... it can bring you serious problems xS and take care well "teach" because she will do same for you :) Mr Ramos

keep doing what you know and love teacher, if that doesnt work call us and we will punch them >:D Bruno Correia

=Do everything like you do because you are a BOSS, teaching, and if there are people like Diogo Marques it might be a massacre but kick them in the "nuts" and they will shut up! Gonçalo Pipo =

I think I have said everything x) I just want to say that we should keep in touch with during our college years and after because it would be a pity if we "lost" you. Rita Pinto
 * J. Any special message to your teacher:)) **

I would say to keep on the good work and keep on being strong and friendly, as always. Also, I think it is important to keep in touch as Rita said, because we still have much to grow and your words and advice will always be welcome and useful!!! Tiago

"I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks." - W. Shakespeare Almeida
As Rita said, we should keep in touch for the next next next years! I will never forget you as a teacher and as a friend! Mariana Ferreira

Thanks for letting us be ourselves. Thanks for putting us at ease even when we thought we weren't capable. Thanks for bringing out the best of every single one of us. Thanks for having taught me through this short, though lasting year. Guilherme Cerveira

Thank you for all you have done for us, you are a great teacher and a great friend. Keep on the excellent work you have been doing, and as your happiness is part of mine, please, be happy. André Néri Now you made cry:(( And you shouldn't, you know... I have to think of my lines and wrinkles:(( Keeping in touch is surely my motto:)) However, new experiences come and I know, by experience, people tend to forget... Let's hope you won't! "Memory /All alone in the moonlight / I can dream of the old days / Life was beautiful then/ I remember the time / I knew what happiness was / Let the memory live again" [|Walking "Memory" Lane]

We just have to thank you for having us always with a smile on your face, and for all the joy and concern. Keeping in touch not only is your motto as well as ours. And ofcourse, the Neri said, BE HAPPY: D You deserve it! Margarida Aguiar

=I would just like to say that you were my favourite teacher! I did not know that there was teachers that liked their students so much, therefore I would like to wish you a continue of a good teaching and never stop being so creative... I think that I speak in the name of everyone when I say: "I'm sorry if I ever armed you in any way but I'll still love you as you still love me! :)" Gonçalo Pipo =

I've already tould you this, but please don't change... The reason all students love you and like being your "sons and daughters" it's because of the way you treat us and that way we cherish every moment with you. And I think you see that when we screw up and you give us a lecture... With other teachers we don't care, but with you we feel bad and that visible trough our faces. I'm really glad and proud to have been your student... Thank you for everything!!! Kisses. **//__Nuno Loureiro__//** Thank you for everything you have done for us. We will always remember you! Filipa Farreca

Keep doing what you do best : teach and spread love. No one will resist you :) Mr Ramos

Thanks for always loving and beliving in us teacher, even when we didnt deserved it Bruno Correia

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #154715; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">Just... Thank you, so, so much for the wonderful moments you provided us as a class. I feel really thankful! They approached us all, and you too, and that is something that only few teachers can do. **Joana Pereira, 12F**

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">I really loved this year in terms of english! This year was the climax of this subject! At the end of this 3 year I realised that I've done things in our classes that I've never thought I would do in my life! I remember in the beginning of the 10th grade, when we were too much talkatives, but we, together, overcame the problems and finished the year very well. In the 11th grade the 5 DMP were already together and we've done great jobs in the oral presentations, mainly the last one that we presented to the school, but all thanks to our relationship with our teacher! Now, about the 12th grade, as I said in the beginning, it was assuredly the best day dispite the division of the DMP! During this grade I've done awesome things! I never thought I would bring a chicken to a oral presentation, I never thought I would take part in extraordinary presentations such as The Judgement Day, The Café Concerto, That one that I don't remember the name that used the Risco's game, and also the one that me Emanuel, Gonçalo and Margarida did about the speech! I would love to continue my English classes at the University with you of course! I am more than fulfiled not only in terms of this year but also in terms of the other years! At the end, what stands is our relatioship! During this 3 years we all had some problems that we overcame, and now I can only see that you are not only the best teacher I've ever had, but also a perfect mom and friend, always by our side, and always trying to help us! I just want to come back to the 10th grade to have more 3 years of English with you! We will really miss you "Teacherzinha"! <3 **HENRIQUE DUARTE**

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! WE LOVE YOU! **HENRIQUE DUARTE**
