Hi Vinícius!

I would like to know where did you take this picture? And have you ever lived abroad?

Paco said...

Hello, vinícius!!
Are you from Brasília?? Have you ever been in a spanish spoke country??

Vinicius Lemos said...

hi Manoella, this picture was taken in New York City last year during my vacation. Yes, I have lived abroad but that was a long ago, in 1993-1994. I lived in North Dakota as an exchange student and I must say it was one of the greatest experiences in my life.
I should certainly include theses details im my personal introduction, thanks for the questions!

Hi Paco! I was born in Brasília and I love living here. I have been to a few Spanish-speaking countries, like Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. I`m still learning how to speak Spanish and I guess the more I travel around South America, the more I can develop my fluency skills! By the way, why did you ask me specifically about Spanish? Did you have a special reason?

Hi Vinícius!

Glad to meet you, online, at least :-).
The task assigned is to leave general questions and suggestions about your introduction. So, let´s try:

I think the obvious question is, did you choose this picture to emphasize an experience abroad? Anyway, it seemed to me a good picture.
I understand your introduction is related to professional aspects. Maybe it would be a good idea to add detailed information about your previous teaching experience, in special at thomas school.
what kind of information do you expect in our introductions?

Regards,

Davi

Hi Vinícius! I'm still a little bit confused in how to do things here. I would suggest you to write in your introduction where have you learned English and what kind of classes have you tauch. Are you used to teach online courses, or is it your first time?

Hi Davi and Helena, thanks for asking me some questions and leaving some suggestions. Davi, I chose this picture because I like cold weather!In relation to my work experience, I have been a teacher at Thomas for almost 10 years and I teach children, teenagers and adults. Helena, I learned English at Casa Thomas Jefferson. I started when I was 11 years old and have basically never lost contact with the school since then! This is the 4th online course I teach and I really enjoy trying out innovative teaching and learning practices.
Guys you are doing a great job with your comments, the idea is that you help me improve my own paragraph. Helena you are doing just fine, don`t worry! Is there anything else you think I should add to my personal introduction??

Hi Teacher!
For an introduction, I think you could tell us more about your personal life! Your age, where you come from, why you've started studying English. Could you tell us more about it?
