MARP

She is not a famous person, but she had an amazing idea. Her name is Fernanda Galvão Cintra, and she has always been worried about the poor people, but she never want to give them money, she want to help them effectively. She also believes that witch person should do something to help the others. So she founded the MARP, an ONG in the city of Amparo. This is a project that offers to the employee of the closes farms a better quality of life, with the help from the farmers of that region.

In the MARP you can find a school, so the kids can have access to an education, there they can have access to healty too, because in time from time a different kind of doctor go there to see the rural families, between those doctors have dentists, ophthalmologists, general practitioner and others. Add to that women can learn how to cook and sew.

Doing this, Fernanda didn’t have to change completely her live, but on sure she improve the life of lots of people.

Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson was born in St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City, the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson (stage name June Nilson). June had married Italian American showman Donald Furcillo (stage name Donald Rose) six months earlier in Elkton, Maryland, on October 16, 1936.Elkton was a town known for its "quickie" marriages. Furcillo, however, was already married, and, although he offered to take care of the child, June's mother Ethel insisted that she bring up the baby, partly so that June could pursue her dancing career. Although Donald Furcillo claimed to be Nicholson's father and to have committed bigamy by marrying June, biographer Patrick McGilligan asserted in Jack's Life that Latvian-born Eddie King (originally Edgar A. Kirschfeld), June's manager, may be the father, and other sources have suggested that June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was. Nicholson's mother was of Irish, English, and Dutch descent, though he and his family self-identified as Irish.

Ayrton Senna da Silva

Ayrton Senna da Silva was born on March 21, 1960 in São Paulo. He was a Brazilian Formula 1 pilot, three times world champion.

He was also the runner-up in the controversial championship in 1993 and 1989.

He died in an accident in Imola during the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994.

His good performance in the previous categories led him to Formula 1 in the Grand Prix of Brazil in 1984. In his first season in the category, Senna showed great results, leading the small British team to reach results never achieved before.

After his die, Ayrton Senna kept for 12 years the record of pole positions.

His most exciting race happened in 1991 when he won Interlagos Grand Prix. His car was showing a lot of mechanic problems, but even then, he kept working to the racing top.
In December 2009 the British magazine Autosport published a story where they made an election to choose the best F1 pilot of all time. The magazine consulted 217 drivers who passed by category, and Ayrton Senna won that election.

Bono Vox

Bono Vox was born on 10 May 1960, in Dublin, Ireland. He is the lead singer of the band U2, that is known like one of the most popular and influential rock bands of the last 30 years. Bono is a figure who is admired both within and outside of the music industry, mainly, because he is over and above a great singer, an accomplished activist for the pace and other issues. He has traveled all around the world to perform, give speeches, lobby politicians or do volunteer work in Africa and South America countries. Although he and his band have already achieved a lot of artistic awards like 22 Grammys, and he has be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it seems that he is so far of realizing his long-term goal, which is to live in a world without wars.

the use of the blog

I think the use of the blog is a great idea, because an easy way to communicate with all the students in class, in addition (I know that is cliche) it's a way to save the planet.

Prepositions

One of the difficulties students face when studying English is to understand the use of prepositions. Watch this video. It gives a nice explanation on the use of some prepositions.
