Nataly Regina da Costa Araújo


Hello! My name is Nataly and I'm 21 years old (The most cliche sentence ever!). I'm really happy that you're reading this portfolio. I usually don't write in english so never mind the little (or big) mistakes. I am a English and Portuguese student at UFMT. I'm also a english teacher at Inglês sem Fronteiras; Something that I'm really proud of because I'm teaching in a Federal University. 
My first college year I decide to not watch English 1 with teacher Ana Antonia. When I started to give classes at Inglês sem Fronteiras, I realized that I needed to start watching english classes again. Best decision ever! I've learnt so much this past year and now I'd like to share with you.

So, I like to think that I work alot, and I try to study a lot but I can't! Unfortunatelly I prefer to watch series and movies in my free time.
Talking about that, at the moment I'm watching again a tv serie called Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments. It's about nephelins (half angels, half humans) that protect the world from daemons and other things. The better part is that It's based on a book serie by Cassandra Clare.

Other fact about myself is that I love going to the cinema to watch films. Usually I go every week to see my "babies". I'm wating the realease of "Avengers: Endgame" on April 25th. I will probably cry the whole 3 hours!!

I have lots of people that I need to thanks as my family, my teacher and my classmates. But there is someone really special. If you know me, you know what I'm going to say.
Yes, I want to thank my boyfriend Vítor Hugo! He is always by my side and helps me with everything that I need. We started to date in the first month of school and we are going to stay together forever! (Said the little girl inside me haha)

1 – A Rush of Adrenaline

In this exercise we were asked to make a text about a moment that we felt a rush of adrenaline. I didn’t remember a lot of “rush of adrenaline” moments in my life, but I remember one that was very fun. The Water Park At the beginning of the year, I felt a rush of adrenaline that I will never forget. My girlfriend and I were on vacations in Minas Gerais, because it’s where my parents live. We wanted to do something new and funny, so we decided to go to a water park called “Thermas Dos Laranjais”. This water park is one of the biggest in Brazil. At first, we needed to make a 2 hours travel to get there, once it was in another town. But then, when we got there, it has a huge line to enter the place. It wasn´t a great time waiting in the line. But, when we entered the water park it was amazing! If I thought that the line was huge, I didn´t know what was waiting for me inside. The park was magnificent; it was impossible to see where it ends. The park itself was a rush of adrenaline, bu...

4 - My English Future (Conclusion)

Well, of course that I want to say, "I don't know my future", but I will make an effort. 😅 After 10 years in contact with English, I know that I still have a lot of to learn. I want to improve my vocabulary and my grammar. Giving classes are helping me with that.  Something that I've realized is that pronunciation is extremely important in the process to learn a new language. It helps with the confidence to talk and express yourself. My boyfriend and I are planning to finish the major and go abroad to do a master. We want to continue to study and to become better teachers. Meanwhile, we still have to finish our third year. Hope you've enjoyed this portfolio!

2 - Writing - A Rush of Adrenaline and EPI

Imagem
As I said before, I don't usually write in English. So, when the teacher told us to do a text about "A Rush of Adrenaline", and then a colleague would correct the mistakes, I was like "no teacher, I don't want to do that!" Turns out that I really like it and I know that most of my coleagues like it too. It was an oportunity to train how to correct our student's activities. That type of activity also made me see that I needed to stop underestimate my friends' capacities towards English. Amanda did my text's correction and she was excellent doing it. We even discussed the use of many words and we learnt very much with each other. Great experience! Another great and new thing that happened to me was that I had to write an article for the first time and present it in EPI (Encontro de Professores de Inglês). Coincidentally, Ana Antonia is the founder of EPI, and will publish my article. So, indirectly she gave me the opportunity to wr...
