My English Portfolio Inês Rosário 8th B No. 13

My personal page It’s time to talk a little bit about me… I’m a Portuguese student. I attend Manuel de Figueiredo school, in Torres Novas. At school, I like all the subjects but I especially enjoy Arts, Physics-chemistry and Portuguese. I like studying but in my free times I really love amusing myself. My favourite hobbies are listening to music and talking with my friends. I like surfing the Net, too, because I can learn several new things. My family and I live in a small village in the surroundings of Torres Novas. I think it’s nice living in the countryside, but sometimes it’s boring. But, I like living my life… Click here to play an amuzing game!!here

My Musical Bank

I love listening to several types of music, like hip-hop, rock, pop, gothic music… My favourite music star is Avril Lavigne. This pop singer is famous all over the world and I can’t understand why she never came to Portugal… But, there are other different singers whose music I enjoy. On the radio, everybody can listen to Byoncé, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado… Nowadays, the historic bands and singers are forgotten. How long don’t you listen to The Beatles or Louis Armstrong, on the radio? I love this song…

…and much more… ‘What a wonderful world’ is a Louis Armstrong’s song. It describes a wonderful space which is watched by the singer. Do you want to listen to this song? So… click here. If you like singing, click here. Below, there are some musics which you can listen… Coldplay The Scientist Avril Lavigne Fall to Pieces 3 Doors Down Landing in London Avril Lavigne Contagious
