We were reading a magazine about it this week, and I think you will love the post.Oh, I forgot one another important thing we learned today in our History classes. It is that in the 17th century, a little time after Brazil was discovered, when the gold became the one of the most important way to get money here, the Portuguese crown took several pounds of gold from us, and this gold went straight to England, because the U.K have borrowed money to Portugal. So, Brazil and England are connected to more time than we thought! It's all, sweeties! Thank you, again! See ya, guys. AndreaxX@andreacristiina Agora em Portugues/Now in Portuguese Oi gente, como voces estao?Eu estou aqui pra falar que a Rebeca e eu estamos muito, muito felizes.Nos temos tido muitas visualizacoes em nosso Blog e isso nos deixa muito animadas!Entao, obrigada a todos os russos, alemaes, norte-americanos e, claro, brasileiros que visitaram o blog nessa primeira semana de funcionamento.Espero que voces estejam gostando do blog, porque nos estamos amando suas visitas.E mais uma coisa, o post do London 2012 Festival pode demorar um pouco para estar aqui hahaha Entao, eu vou falar o que a Rebeca esta preparando pra voces (por favor, Re, nao me mate por isso!): um post sobre a historia da bandeira do Reino Unido!Muito legal! Nos estavamos lendo uma revista sobre isso essa semana, e acho que voces vao amar!Ah, eu esqueci outra coisa importante que nos aprendemos hoje na aula de Historia. Foi que no seculo XVII, um tempo depois do Brasil ser descoberto, quando o outro era um dos meios mais importantes de ganhar dinheiro aqui, a coroa Portuguesa levou varios quilos de outro da gente, e esse ouro foi direto para a Inglaterra, porque o Reino Unido emprestou dinheiro a Portugal. Entao, Brasil e Inglaterra estao conectados a mais tempo do que nos imaginavamos!Isso e tudo, gracinhas! Obrigada, de novo.Ate mais, gente!Andreabeijinhos;*@andreacristiina Hii *--*I'm here just to say a hello and something we've discovered...Andrea and I are gonna to England at a busy time... Yeah!

We're preparing a very interesting post to tell
Agora em Portugues/Now in Portuguese Oi galera, e ai?Voces estao no clima de conhecer a fundo a historia de Oxford? Porque hoje eu escolhi uma bem legal. E sobre a eterna rivalidade entre a Universidade de Oxford e a Universidade de Cambridge.Eu sempre ouvi sobre isso, mas nunca parei para pesquisar ou ler sobre a tal rivalidade. E agora, eu estou aqui para mostrar pra voces o quao importante e. Entao, vamos ler sobre Oxbridge. A Universidade de Oxford foi fundada em 998 (e a mais antiga do Reino Unido), mas eles so comecaram a ensinar em 1096. Um pouco depois disso, em 1167, Henrique II da Inglaterra baniu os estudantes Ingleses de fazer faculdade na Universite de Paris (Universidade de Paris). E por causa disso, Oxford comecou a crescer. Mas em 1209, dois estudantes morreram acusados de estupro. Os outros estudantes decidiram fugir para outra cidade. Suas ideias eram sobre uma universidade livre e entao, eles criaram a Universidade de Cambridge. Desde esse dia, Oxford e Cambridge comecaram uma batalha de universidades. Ambas querem provar que sao as melhores. Claro, nos sabemos que elas sao!Legenda da foto: Universidade de Oxford Cambridge e considerada a segunda melhor universidade, Harvard e a primeira. Os estudantes mais populares de Cambridge foram Isaac Newton, Ernest Rutherford, Charles Darwin e Bertrand Russel. Legenda da foto: Universidade de CambridgeDo outro lado, os estudantes mais populares de Oxford foram Oscar Wild, J. R. R. Tolkien, Bill Clinton e Tony Blair.Oxford e Cambridge sao muito tradicionais. Ambas oferecem uniformes, mas isso varia de colegio para colegio.Legenda da foto: uniforme de Oxford Legenda da foto: uniforme de CambridgeNos pensamos que o predio da Universidade de Oxford e enorme. Mas nos estamos errados. Nao existe um predio. Os colegios estao espalhados por toda a cidade. A rivalidade continua ate hoje. Os colegios competem por campeonatos. Existe uma competicao no Rio Tamisa. Ela comecou em 1829, quando Cambridge convidou Oxford para uma corrida de barco. Cambridge venceu 79 vezes e Oxford 75.Legenda do video: pessoas competindo por lugar na corrida de barcos de Oxford/Cambridge em 2007. Em 1997 essa competicao foi realizada em Manaus Brasil. Sim, gente. Nosso lindo Brasil! Os atletas ficaram com medo das piranhas do Rio Negro (piranha e um tipo de peixe brasileiro, elas sao muito perigosas, porque tem dentes e mordem. As pessoas dizem que as pinharas podem comer humanos! Elas sao carnivoras, galera hahaha)Voce pode ver que essa rivalidade e maior do que a gente pensava. Eles nao querem competir so nos estudos, mas tambem nos esportes.Bom, eu devo dizer a voces que nos podemos ver que Cambridge esta se tornando maior que Oxford. Maaaas, eu sempre vou ser do Time Oxford, mesmo porque essa cidade vai ser meu lar doce lar por um mes. E eu nao ligo se meus livros de Ingles sao do metodo Cambridge. Oxford e meu amor.Espero que voces gostem!AndreaxX @andreacristiina Hey guys.What's up?You saw what Rebeca posted yesterday (by the way, I looooved it haha) and now I wanna share with you an awesome London Eye's pic I have here.So,

Ola, como estao? E o fim de ano? Muito corrido?Bem, arrumei alguns minutinhos para fazer minha parte do nosso combinado, aqui esta minha postagem de ontem na nossa lingua! Espero que gostem e por favor, comentem! *-*;*Hey gente!Como voces estao? Espero que bem!Ha quanto tempo nao nos vemos, ne? Eu senti saudades de voces e do nosso blog tambem...Bem, realmente, eu peco o perdao de voces devido a nossa ausencia! Nos temos tido muuitaas coisas para fazer na escolas, nos cursos e coisas mais... Tenho certeza de que voces estao nos entendendo, provavelmente voces estao na mesma situacao! Voces sabem, final de ano e sempre assim!Mas, eu tenho boas noticias para voces: em 2 semanas, nossas ferias chegam e entao, postaremos muitas coisas legais sobre a Inglaterra e , principalmente, sobre nossa querida Oxford *-*Entao, vamos comecar? Voces estao prontos?Hoje, eu irei contar para voces sobre a bandeira deste incrivel pais: Inglaterra... Tenho certeza que voce ja a viu! Se nao se lembra, nao se preocupe, pense um pouco... As cores vermelho, azul e branco te lembram alguma coisa?Se voce realmente nao lembra, voce pode dar uma olhada nela logo abaixo: (por favor, voces podem olhar as fotos no outro post?)E agora, podemos continuar?Bem, esta bandeira nem sempre foi assim... Esta e o produto final de 3 bandeiras: a da Escocia, da Irlanda e da Inglaterra! Sim, voce sabia disso?Este e um dos mais claros exemplos sobre o que as transformacoes politicas podem fazer com os simbolos nacionais...Voces estao entendendo ate aqui, nao estao? Porque agora eu vou contar para voces um pouco da historia sobre esta linda bandeira (sim, tenho que admitir, eu a amo... *-*)Primeiro, vamos voltar ao ano 1603 (apenas uma coisa: estao imaginando suas roupas, estilos de cabelo, casas e coisas assim? Se nao, tentem fazer isso, e incrivel! Bom, continuando...rsrs)Imaginem que voce mora na Inglaterra e entao voce ouve o povo dizendo que o rei, a partir daquele momento, seria Jaime V, um rei Escoces... Sim, isso aconteceu!E mais: ele mudou a capital de Edimburgo para Londres (Gente, vamos combinar ne, a gente sabe que todo mundo ama Londres... =P). Mas tinha um ponto: quando ele fez isso, teve que criar um 'novo pais', entao nasceu o Reino Unido! Agora, sigam meu raciocinio: se e um novo pais, uma nova bandeira sera necessaria... Entao, o rei mesclou as duas bandeiras: a da Escocia e a da Inglaterra!(Legenda da segunda foto: Esta e a bandeira da Escocia. E representa a Cruz Branca de Santo Andre! Na nossa historia, estamos falando sobre esta bandeira no seculo 16...)(Legenda da terceira foto: E aqui, esta e a bandeira da Inglaterra. Ela representa a Cruz Vermelha de Sao Jorge... Claro, que e no mesmo seculo que a anterior!)Esta mudanca comecou a ser feita em 1606, e apenas muito tempo depois, ela se tornou oficial... Hey, voces estao pensando que isso termina por aqui? Se sim, estao errados...)Em 1707, o Reino Unido da Gra-Bretanha foi criado, e mais uma nacao estava nessa uniao: Pais de Gales. Entao, em 1801, a Irlanda se juntou
a nacao, entao o nome de tudo isso se tornou: O Reino Unido da Gra-Bretanha e Irlanda (O_o gente, que nome longo!)Agora, pensem: Se mais um pais se uniu, o que poderia ter acontecido com a bandeira? Voces ja sabem, nao sabem?Sim, se voces pensaram que a bandeira mudou, estao certos! Eles incorporaram a bandeira Irlandesa as outras...(Legenda da quarta foto: Esta bandeira Irlandesa tambem representa a Cruz Vermelha de Sao Jorge... Ela pertence ao seculo 18!)Ufa, estao cansados desta overdose de Historia? rsrsApenas me deixem finalizar o post... Bem, esta uniao de bandeiras se transformou em:(Legenda da quinta foto: Gente, ela nao e incrivel?? *-*)Bem, esta bandeira e de todo o Reino Unido, mas ela, as vezes, e associada apenas a minha adoravel Inglaterra (Sim, ela e minha, minha e permanentemente minha! rsrs =P... Voces perceberam um pouquinho de possessividade? Eu nao...rsrs)Apenas para resumir minha postagem:(Fonte da sexta foto: Revista Unesp Ciencia, Julho de 2010, Ano 1, Numero 10)Criancas, o que estao achando do nosso blog? Por favor, comentem... Voces tambem podem nos dar alguma ideia! Seremos gratas!Isso e tudo por hoje... Vejo voces amanha queridos! *-* Beijinhos, Rebeca ;*
Hey guys!How are you?! I hope fine!How long time no see, huh? I missed you and also our blog...Well, I really ask your forgiveness because of our lack! We've had a looot of things to do in school, courses and things more... I'm sure you're understanding us, probably you're in the same situation! You know, end of year is always like this!But, I have good news for you: In 2 weeks, our vacations arrive and then, we'll post a lot of nice things about England and, principally, about our sweet Oxford *-*So, let's start? Are you ready?Today, I'm gonna tell you about the flag of this amazing country: England... I'm sure you've seen this yet! If you don't remember, think a little... The colors red, blue and white remember you something?If you really don't remeber, you can take a view of this beneath:And now, can we continue?Well, this flag wasn't always like that... This is the final product of 3 flags: the Scotland, Ireland and England ones! Yes, did you know this?It's one of the most clear examples about what the political transformations can make with the national symbols...Are you understanding until here, aren't you? Because now I'm gonna tell you some story about this beautiful flag (yes, I have to admit, I love it... *-*)... First, let's go back to the year 1603 (just a thing: are you imagining your clothes, hair styles, houses and things like that? If not, try to do this, is amazing! Well, continuing...rsrs)...Imagine you live in England and then you heard the people saying your king, from this moment, will be Jaime V, a Scotland king... Yes, it happened!And more: he changed the capital of Edinburgh to London (Come on, we know everybody loves London... =P). But, there is a point: when he did it, he had to create a 'new country', so the United Kindon was born here!Now, follow my reasoning: if it's a new country, a new flag will be necessary... So, the king merged both flags: the Scotland and England ones!It's the flag of Scotland. And represents the St. Andre's White Cross! In our story, we're talking about this flag in the 16th Century...And here, it's the flag of England. It represents the St. Jorge's Red Cross... Of course, it's in the same century!This change started to be made in 1606, and just a long time later, it became oficial... Hey, are you thinking it finishes here? If yes, you are wrong...In 1707, the Great Britain Kingdom was criated, and one more nation was in this union: Wales. Then in 1801, Ireland was joined at the nation, so the name of all of this became: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (O_o hey, how long!). Now, think: if one more country joined, what could happened with the flag? You already know, don't you?Yes, if you thought the flag changed, you're right! They incorporated the Irish flag to the others... This Irish flag also represents the St. Jorge's Red Cross... It belongs at 18th Century!Whew, are you tired about this overdose of
History? rsrsJust let me finish our post... Well, the union of this flags became this: People, it's not amazing?? *-*Well, this is the flag of all the United Kingdom, but it's sometimes associated at just my sweet England (yes, it's mine, mine and permanently mine! rsrs =P... Did you pick up a few of possessiveness? I not...rsrs)Just to summarize my post: (Magazine: Unesp Ciencia, July 2010 - Year: 1; Number: 10)Kids, what are you thinking about our blog? Please, comment... You can give us some idea too!We'll be thankfull!It's all for today... See ya tomorrow sweetheart! *-* XoXo, Rebeca ;*
Hey guys. Whats up?Are you in the mood to go deep in the Oxfords history? Because today I chose a very cool one. Its about the eternal rivalry between University of Oxford and University of Cambridge. Ive always heard about it, but Ive never stopped to research or just for reading about this rivalry. And now, Im here to show you guys how important it is. So lets read about Oxbridge. The University of Oxford was founded in 998 (its the older university in the U.K), but they just started to teach in 1096. A little time after this, in 1167, Henry II of England had banned the English students to college in the Unversite de Paris (University of Paris). And because of this, Oxford started to grow up. But in 1209, two students died accused of rape. The other students decided to run to another city. Their ideas were about a free university and then, they founded the University of Cambridge. Since this day, Oxford and Cambridge started a battle of universities. Both want to prove they are the best. Of course, we know they are! University of Oxford Cambridge is considered the second best university, Harvard is the first. The most popular students of Cambridge were Isaac Newton, Ernest Rutherford, Charles Darwin and Bertrand Russell. University of Cambridge In the other side, Oxfords most popular students were Oscar Wild, J. R. R. Tolkien, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. Oxford and Cambridge are very traditional. Both offer costumes, but it varies by college. Oxford's academic dressCambridge's academic dress We think the building of Oxford is large. But we are wrong. There isnt a campus. The colleges are all around the city. This rivalry keeps going until today. Both colleges compete for championships. There is a competition on the Thames River. It started in 1829, when Cambridge invited Oxford to a boat race. Cambridge won 79 times, and Oxford 75. People vying for a place in Oxford/Cambridge Boat Race 2007In 1997 this competition was performed in Manaus, Brazil! Yeah, guys. Our beautiful Brazil! The athletes were very afraid about the Rio Negros piranhas (piranha is a kind of brazilian fish, they are very dangerous, 'cause they have teeth and they bite. People say piranhas can eat humans! They are carnivorous, guys hahaha)You can see that this rivalry is bigger than we imagine. They dont want compete only in studies, but also in sports. Well, I must to say you, guys, we can see that Cambridge is becoming bigger than our Oxford. Buuuut, Im always gonna be Team Oxford, even because this city will be my sweet home for one mouth. And I dont care if my English books are Cambridge method, Oxford is my love. Hope you enjoy! Andrea xX@andreacristiina Hey guys! Whats up?So, here I am, again haha More than one month, huh? I think Rebeca and me, we have being very bad girls. A lot of time without a post here.There is a reason! We were on vacation. Rebeca was on a trip with her family, and on December, we
were on a trip together. It was amazing! We had fun, we ate a lot, we laughed a lot, and etc!I know we have to say sorry for you guys. So, here we go: We are so sorry! We will try to post here more times. And happy 2012! Hope, happiness, dreams, wishes and more! Ok, lets go to the point!In this post I want to show you guys, bands from England that I am in love and I think they are really, really good... The first band is called The Cure.Have you ever listened to them?Well, it is a band from 70s years. They play alternative rock and they won so many awards. The principal man in the band is Robert Smith. I think his voice is one of the best in the world. I appreciate their songs, because I am not a romantic girl, who believes in truly love, and most of The Cures song is about the other side of love. I cant tell you more, guys. You need to listen to them.My favorite song is The Perfect Boy.The second band is McFly. They play Pop Rock and the songs are all about love, but I like them because of their voices, their rhythm and because of their beauty. Girls! Take a look on McGuys and tell me if I am wrong...They sold more CDs than The Beatles in the begging of their career. Now you can see, these guys are really cool.My favorite song is Take Me There (this song reminds me of England, can I dont love it?) The third band is The Beatles.Freaking out right now! I cant explain about The Beatles. They are just THE BEST BAND EVER! The best band in the whole world! The genius, the kings, they are The Beatles! From the 60s years, they sang about the cute side of love, and after they started to play psychedelic songs, still amazing. I am sure you already listened to The Beatles even if once in life. My favorite song is I am The Walrus.The fourth band is Oasis.They started in 1994. The Gallagher brothers are part of this band. They have interesting songs about things I have never thought about. They are good, but the sad part of this post is that Oasis is over... But I like them the same way! My favorite song is Magic Pie.The fifth band is Jessie J.It is not a band, but it is still good. Jessie J sings Pop. She wrote lyrics for many singers like Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. Then, one day, she decided to record herself singing. She is my diva. Jessie J doesnt drink, doesnt smoke because she has heart problems. Well, she is in the begging of her career, but she has everything to become one of the most popular Pop singers in the world. My favorite song is Who You Are (by the way, this song is my trips theme. I was listening to this song when my mom said I would travel!)The last band is One Direction.Please guys, dont
kill me. I know so many people dont like One Direction because they are a media band. X Factor made them. I know everything, but they have good voices. And they are pretty! Every song is totally and only about love. It sucks, I have to say. But I liked them. I have never listened to Boy Bands, but One Direction was as love at first sight. I have no fault. I am so sorry. My favorite song is Everything About You (because of the rhythm, but if I needed to choose by the lyric, my favorite song probably would be Na Na Na).This is it, guys. I really hope you enjoy this post, because I was planning it since last week. Probably you wont like my taste in music. Haha! Or maybe you will like, so for I know this, let us a comment!Tell us what you want to see here in our blog and we will try to write about it!See ya soon, guys!AndreaxXP.S.: Sorry for my English mistakes. I was on vacation, so... Haha
