6. Good nutrition and physical exercise
I think that a good nutrition and physical exercise are very important for our
health, but I think too that I don’t respect these topics.
A good nutrition must be made by everyone. But, many people, like the teenagers,
don’t have a good alimentation because the young people eat more fast-food than
vegetables or fruits. In the world, there are many obese, and that results from a
bad diet. But they’re not the only people who do it. Their parents do the same
thing, and they don’t give the example to their kids.
It’s easy have a good nutrition, we just should eat a little beat of everything and
we should respect the food
pyramid...
Physical exercise also contributes
to a good health. We should do
varied sports and we shouldn’t
take a sedentary life.
If we do it, we can prevent many
diseases, and reduce the number
of obese people in the world.
So if is easy... Let’s do it!!!

8. The Drugs and the teenagers
Teenagers may be involved with drugs in various ways and the experimentation with
drugs during adolescence is common. Unfortunately, teenagers often don’t see the
link between their actions today and the consequences tomorrow and they also have a
tendency to feel indestructible and immune to
the problems that others experience.
Using alcohol and tobacco at a young age
increases the risk of using other drugs later.
Some teens will experiment and stop, or
continue to use occasionally, without significant
problems. Others will develop a dependency or
addiction, often moving on to more dangerous
drugs and causing significant harm to
themselves and possibly others.
Adolescence is a time for trying new things. Teens use drugs for many reasons,
including curiosity, because it feels good, to reduce stress, to feel grown up, or to fit
in. It is difficult to know which teens will experiment and stop and which will develop
serious problems.
Open your eyes!!!

17. My best journey
Everything started when I and my family got to JFK
airport and caught a yellow cab, which took us to the
hotel in the heart of the Big Apple.
Through the subway, we explored the heart of New
York, Manhattan.
For seven days, I and my family visited important
monuments like Metropolitan Museum of Art,
American Museum of Natural History, Empire State
Building and Statue of Liberty. In the last day in New
York, we saw a show
on the Broadway and
visited the Central
Park, where I visited
the New York’s Zoo
and, with my family, I
did a little picnic. In NY
I ate in fast-food
restaurants (typical in
NY) and I felt the American Dream.
New York is a fantastic city and for me this was, absolutely, my best journey.
P.S. Unfortunately, this trip is all invention 

18. Rock in Rio- My favourite concert
My favourite concert was a festival Rock in Rio 2008, in
Lisbon.
There I saw some bands, such as Amy Winehouse,
Metallica, Linkin Park, Tokyo Hotel and MUSE.
What I liked most was to see the singer Amy
Winehouse, but she song very badly! She was drunk!!!
For the 5 days in Lisbon, I stayed in a camping park and
I ate in fast-food restaurants!
I really liked the concerts and I enjoyed bring with my
friends.
After the concerts we went to the discos and we
danced the whole night long!
It was so funny...

19. Amy Winehouse was born on 14 September 1983 and she is an English singer and

jazz, rock & roll, and ska.
Her first album, Frank (released in 2003) was
nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and she
won an Ivor Novello award in 2004 for her debut
single Stronger than Me. In 2006, she released
her second album, Back to Black. On February
2007, she won a Brit award for the Best British
Female Solo Artist. In 2007 Back to Black
reached #7 on the Billboard 200 Album chart in
the US, selling over 51000 albums in its first
week.
Born into an English-Jewish family with a history of jazz musicians, she grew up in the
suburb of North London, and attended Ash Mole School. At around age 10, Winehouse
founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' sour, as sour. She described
the group as "the little white Jewish Salt-N-Pepa".

20. Rehab-Lyric
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said 'no, no, no'
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know-know-know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
But I won't go-go-go
I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said 'no, no, no'
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know-know-know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
But I won't go-go-go
The man said "why do you think you're here?"
I said "I got no idea.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby,
So I always keep a bottle near."
He said "I just think you're depressed,
Kiss me here, baby, and go rest."
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said 'no, no, no'
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know-know-know
I don't ever want to drink again
I just, ooh, I just need a friend
I'm not going to spend ten weeks
And have everyone think I'm on the mend
It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said 'no, no, no'
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know-know-know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
But I won't go-go-go

21. REHAB-Amy Winehouse
(Translation to Portuguese)
Eles tentaram-me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse não, não, não
Sim, eu tenho estado mal mas quando eu melhorar você irá ver, ver, ver
Eu não tenho tempo e se meu pai acha que estou bem
Ele me fará ir para a reabilitação, mas eu não irei, irei, irei
Eu prefiro ficar em casa com o Ray
Eu não tenho dezassete dias
Porque não há nada
Nada que você possa me ensinar
Que eu não possa aprender com o Sr. Hathaway
Eu não aprendi muito nas aulas
mas sei que não aprenderei num gole de bebida
Eles tentaram me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse ‘ não, não, não’
Sim, eu tenho estado mal mas quando eu melhorar você irá ver, ver, ver
Eu não tenho tempo e se o meu pai acha que estou bem
Ele me fará ir para a reabilitação, mas eu não irei, irei, irei
Um homem disse-me: - por que você acha que está aqui?
Eu disse que não fazia ideia
Eu vou, vou perder o meu amor
Então eu sempre tenho uma bebida por perto
Ele disse-me: - eu acho que está deprimida,
Dê-me um beijo, baby, e vá dormir.
Eles tentaram me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse ‘ não, não, não’
Sim, eu tenho estado mal mas quando eu melhorar você irá ver, ver, ver
Eu não tenho tempo e se meu pai acha que estou bem
Ele me fará ir para a reabilitação, mas eu não irei, irei, irei
Eu não quero beber nunca mais
Eu só ooh eu só preciso de um amigo
Eu não irei perder dez semanas
Com todos a achar que estou de recuperação
Não é só o meu orgulho
É só que minhas lágrimas secaram
Eles tentaram -me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse não, não, não
Sim, eu tenho estado mal mas quando eu melhorar você irá ver, ver, ver
Eu não tenho tempo e se meu pai acha que estou bem
Ele me fará ir para a reabilitação, mas eu não irei, irei, irei
