TRABALHO DE RECUPERAÇÃO - INGLÊS 3 ANO
Not far from the tree
By Mariana de Viveiros
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. So, the son of a circus performer is likely to be also an artist himself. 12-year-old Matheus Felipe Jesus Silva was born in thebcircus. That is, ever since he was a baby, he’s lived in a trailerb(a mobile home pulled by a car or a truck). His mother is a ballet dancer at CircoSpacial, where Matheus himself is also a performer since the age of 3. He started doing presentations with clowns and nowadays he is a trapeze artist (just like his dad, who works in Europe), equilibrist and acrobat.
As the circus travels all over Brazil, Matheus changes schools very often. He studies in the morning, has rehearsals in the afternoon and, at weekends, he performs in the circus ring. He says that this routine doesn’t disturb his studies and he wants to graduate in Physical Education. “But I want to work in the circus forever.” On account of the mobility of his life and his outgoing nature, Matheus makes new friends wherever he goes and keeps in touch with them through the internet. “Kids think that I have a peculiar way of life and come to the circus to watch my show,” he adds. On his days off, he likes to go to the movies, to the mall and to shows. Read on to see his favorite film, book, CD and website.

I have a dream!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929. He was a black American cleric who led the civil rights movement in favor of the black in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, four years before his assassination in Memphis, TN.
In one of his famous speeches, Luther King said: “I say to you today, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. I have a dream that my four children one day will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” His dream was that of a country where men would be truly equal.
