Read the excerpt from Lewis Carroll’s book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and answer question.
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
So she was considering in her own mind, (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid,) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and, burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

SECONDARY EDUCATION IN BRAZIL
The proportion of young Brazilian students attending secondary education at the right age has doubled compared to that of 1995, disclosing a significant advance in the access to secondary education.
In 2005, enrolment in secondary education in Brazil amounted to approximately 9.0 million: 7.9 million (87.8%) in the public sector, of which 3.9 million (43.3%) were in the evening shift. From the total enrolment rate, 4.7 million (52.22%) students are about 15 – 17 years of age. (Source: BRAZIL. Ministry of Education/Inep. Censo Escolar).
Since 1997, UNESCO Office in Brazil has followed and supported the national actions towards the implementation of secondary education reform. In this progress, the Organization supports the development of public policies that can effectively contribute to the improvement of the educational system in this level through studies, publications, promotion of discussions, and technical cooperation agreements.
UNESCO has tried to sensitize the Brazilian government on the need to diverse structures and expand the offer of Secondary Education, including through:
use of Communication and Information Technologies (ICT)
valuing the teaching profession
teacher education and training to improve their competencies and update their methods
inclusion of transdisciplinary themes in school curriculum with emphasis on ethical and civic values such as the principles and concepts of human rights, ethics, philosophy, and sustainability
development of permanent mechanisms of student and school community participation in discussions of school evaluation process, of pedagogical work, and their results
These focuses indicate that the most important is to have a good quality basic education that can permit the permanent process of lifelong learning.

THE SWEET NOTHINGNESS OF HOLIDAYS…
I just love it. There’s nothing better than waking up at 11am, making your way downstairs still in PJs, getting a bowl of cereal and then thinking: “I ain’t got a single thing to do today!”
If I look back, I wonder where the day went. Got up at 11, watched a couple of humour shows on the telly, played PS3. Just lazed on the sofa and listened to music. Chatted to my friend on Skype.
Well. I’ll enjoy the freedom and laziness while it lasts, cause I realise there ain’t gonna be much more of it in the next months.

De acordo com Maria Inez Matoso Silveira, em seu livro Línguas estrangeiras – Uma visão histórica das abordagens, métodos e técnicas de ensino (p. 56 - 57), a concepção de ensino na Abordagem Tradicional é uma atividade expositiva e promotora da disciplina formal, na qual o professor é autoridade dominante em sala de aula e o único detentor do saber. Sendo assim, cabe ao aluno manter atitude de submissão ao professor, sem tomar qualquer iniciativa durante as aulas. Ainda dentro da Abordagem Tradicional e segundo a mesma autora, podemos julgar como VERDADEIRAS as seguintes afirmativas:
I. Na concepção de língua da Abordagem Tradicional a língua escrita literária é vista como superior à língua falada.
II. É atribuído grande valor aos elementos morfológicos, daí a ênfase no ensino da nomenclatura.
III. A concepção de aprendizagem é a formação de hábitos, como na aprendizagem da primeira língua.
IV. O material didático nessa abordagem privilegia os elementos fonéticos e estruturais da língua estrangeira.

A young Londoner is very serious about the green lifestyle.
