My family

 My family has four members. Me, my sister, my mother and my stepfather. Now we’re just three at home because my sister has moved out.

My mother is 43 years old. Her name is Paula. She is medium size, has blond hair and brown eyes. She’s a housewife.

My stepfather, Paulo, is 37 years old. He’s tall with brown eyes and hair. He’s a store manager.

My sister is older than me, her name is Sofia, she’s 23 years old. She is small, has light brown hair and brown eyes. She’s now living near Lisbon.

My entire family is big, I have one grandmother and one grandfather, many uncles and aunts, and lots of cousins, more than twenty.

I love my family, I’m very lucky that we are so many but very close.

José Mourinho – Psychological description

José Mourinho is a very popular football coach. I choose him because I think he is the best in the world.   

He is very self-confident and not a very modest person, that’s probably why he is so polemic.  At work he is very professional, intelligent, demanding, hard-working, methodical and always sets the example, he is the first to arrive and the last to leave, making him a very successful coach.

But out of work he his known to be a very simple, friendly and accessible person.

All this makes him loved by some and hated by others.

Cartoon "Me and the professional world"

These are some cartoons about computers in stone-age, a funny past of computers. But, for me, computers are very important in the present and probably even more in the Future.

My professional world will always be connected to computers. I’m studying informatics and I want to be an Informatics Technician.  

My school

I go to school at “Escola Profissional Bento de Jesus Caraça” in Oporto; I’m on the second year of “TGEI” – Management of Informatics Equipment. It’s a small school, with only three professional courses. The School is on the first and second floors of a small building. It has a bar but no canteen, so we have lunch out in the city. It has several class rooms, a lab and two computer rooms
and a room were we practice on old computers. It also has a small patio were we spend our free times. Usually school starts at 8:20 am, I get there by bus or metro. It’s a small school but great, I love my course and the friends I made.

My House

I Live in a big block of flats in Leça do Balio, a very quiet place. My flat is on the third floor, and the garage is on the basement. It is a medium size flat but very comfortable. It has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and a hall. My room is not very big but I like it a lot. In my room I have a single bed, a bedside table with a lamp on it, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a desk and a chair. On my desk I have a computer. I also have a TV set. On the walls I have some pictures of me and my family and friends. My favourite room is the living room were I normally have meals and spend time with my family. It’s a great place to live.

Well, this is me

My name is Tiago and I’m 16 years old. I am Portuguese and I live in Leça do Balio, near Porto. As you can see, I’m slim and tall. I have short brown hair and brown and green eyes. Usually I use casual clothes, like jeans and t-shirts and tennis. I’m a very active person, so I love sports. I’m curious, but normally very shy, except when I’m with family and friends, they even say I’m funny and imaginative. I’m very friendly and loyal. But sometimes I can be a little stubborn and clumsy. It’s a little hard to describe myself so anything else you want to know just ask me.
