I recevied from Melissa Holt ...she is great friend
Now i am available:

Greetings Nilton!

We are glad that you like the CDLP online site.
It is used quite a lot by students all over the world.

****  You might want to also check out USALearns.org. It has USA in the name but is also free and open to anyone. There are three ESL courses on the site, Begining ESL, Intermediate ESL, and Practice English and Reading. The last one is based on the CDLPonline content but has additional activities. Another advantage is that teachers can create a course and have their students register in it in order to track their progress.

There are 3 sites with USALearns. The address listed above is for Independent Learners - those without teachers or tutors who wish to improve their English skills. If, after looking at the site, you would like your students to do the activities AND be able to track their progress, you will need to go to the Teacher site and setup a class. After you setup a class then the students will register on the Student site.

If you would like instructions on how to access and setup a Teacher account along with student registration instructions, let me know.

VERY IMPORTANT:
If a student registers at the Independent Learner site, they will NOT be able to register in your class if you create one.

I hope all of this makes sense. Please feel free to email if you have questions.
Our offices will be cloased from December 24th through January 1st.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday season!

CARNIVAL IS COMING: THE GREATEST PARTY IN THE WORLD - BRAZIL

The Carnival of Brazil  is an annual festival held [acontece]forty-six days before Easter. On certain days of Lent,[quaresma] Roman Catholics and some other Christians traditionally abstained from the consumption of meat and poultry [comer carne e aves], hence the term "carnival," from carnelevare, "to remove meat."
Carnival celebrations are believed to have roots in the pagan [originaria das festas pagãs] festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in a season of religious discipline to practice repentance and prepare for Christ's death and resurrection.
Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another.
In the southeastern cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, huge organized parades are led by samba schools.
Those official parades are meant to be watched by the public, while minor parades ("blocos") allowing public participation can be found in other cities.

The northeastern cities of Salvador, Porto Seguro and Recife have organized groups parading through streets, and public interacts
directly with them.
This carnival is also influenced by African-Brazilian culture. It's a six days party where crowds follow the trios elétricos through the city streets, dancing and singing.
Also in northeast, Olinda carnival features unique characteristics, part influenced by Venice Carnival mixed with cultural depictions of local folklore.
The typical genres of music of brazilian carnival are, in Rio de Janeiro (and Southeast Region in general): the samba-enredo, the samba de bloco, the samba de embalo and the marchinha; in Pernambuco and Bahia (and Northeast Region in general) the main genres are: the frevo, the maracatu, the samba-reggae and Axé music.
Carnaval is the most famous holiday in Brazil and has become an event of huge proportions.
The country stops completely for almost a week and festivities are intense, day and night, mainly in coastal cities.
The consumption of beer accounts for 80% of annual consumption and tourism receives 70% of annual visitors. The government distributes condoms and launches awareness campaigns at this time to prevent the spread of AIDS.
Rio de Janeiro's carnival alone drew 4.9 million people in 2011, with 400,000 being foreigners.
