Brazil: teaching in public schools


I've been teaching English for almost 10 years, and my most interesting experience was when I started teaching at a public school besides teaching at a language institute. This school was located in a very poor neighborhood, and there were all kinds of social problems surrounding it. My initial excitement was tested when I started to talk about what I was going to teach and the importance of learning English at school when a student raised his hand and said: "Teacher, why should we learn English if even don't know how to speak Portuguese very well?" My first reaction was saying that maybe he could learn English better than Portuguese and one day he could have a very good job, even travel abroad. And another student said: "Come on, teacher, we don't have money for the bus ticket to go downtown, how can we go abroad?"

Teachers

Paint their minds

and guide their thoughts

Share their achievements

Which leads our youth


For our future brightens

Each smile you lengthen

Each goal you help reach


For the dawn of

Q3558671 Inglês
    Among my fellow punctuation nerds, I have a reputation as someone who does not see any use for semicolons. Cecelia Watson, who teaches at Bard College, has written a whole book about them: “Semicolon: The Past, Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark.”
    
    Watson, a historian and philosopher of science and a teacher of writing and the humanities—in other words, a Renaissance woman—gives us a deceptively playful-looking book that turns out to be a scholarly treatise on a sophisticated device that has contributed eloquence and mystery to Western civilization.
    
    The semicolon itself was a Renaissance invention. It first appeared in 1494, in a book published in Venice by Aldus Manutius. “De Aetna,” Watson explains, was “an essay, written in dialogue form,” about climbing Mt. Etna. The mark was a hybrid between a comma and a colon, and its purpose was to prolong a pause or create a more distinct separation between parts of a sentence.
    
    The problem with the semicolon is not how it looks but what it does and how that has changed over time. In the old days, punctuation simply indicated a pause. Comma, colon: semicolon; period. Eventually, grammarians and copy editors came along and made themselves indispensable by punctuating (“pointing”) a writer’s prose “to delineate clauses properly, such that punctuation served syntax.” That is, commas, semicolons, and colons were included in a sentence in order to highlight, subordinate, or otherwise conduct its elements, connecting them syntactically. One of the rules is that, unless you are composing a list, a semicolon is supposed to be followed by a complete clause, capable of standing on its own. The semicolon can take the place of a conjunction, like “and” or “but,” but it should not be used in addition to it.
