Hey girls! Do you usually wear your hair up or down?
Now, boys and girls! What kind of hair style do you have? What color is it? How long is it?
My hair is brown and wavy. I have shoulder length hair.
I usually tie my hair up in a bun. Sometimes I have a ponytail. I rarely wear it down.
Now carefully look at these two videos. The first one shows the basic vocabulary. The second one adds a lot more vocabulary and different ways to talk about hair.
Some of the styles are quite outdated but, never mind… Just write down everything that you can use to describe your hair. 😉
Sempre que um feriado cai próximo ao final de semana e algumas empresas, escolas, fazem um recesso na quinta e sexta, ou segunda e terça, chamamos em inglês de long weekend.
Podemos dizer também, a three-day weekend, quando o feriado cai na sexta ou na segunda, e a four-day weekend, quando o feriado cai na quinta, com recesso na sexta, ou na terça, com recesso na segunda.
No inglês britânico o termo mais comum, que corresponde à feriado prolongado é bank holiday weekend.

Now that we have resumed our work with English, after the holidays and vacation, and after having not seen each other for a long time, we have a lot of catching up to do!
Do you still remember everything that you did? Maybe you need to look at some pictures to remind you of all the places you’ve been…
Do you know the difference between remember and remind?
Both remember and remind are verbs of memory but they are not the same.
Remember
Remember is about having a memory. It has two verb patterns with a big difference in meaning.
Remember + (verb)ing is used when we remember something from the past. First the action happens and later we remember it happening.
Remember + full infinitive verb is used to remember something that must be done in the future. First we think of the thing we need to remember and later we do the action.
Remind
Remind means make someone remember. Its verb pattern is remind + somebody + full infinitive verb. Something can also remind you (or someone) of something.
