he danced classic ballet, played violin, did gymnastics and swimming, and played American football. Besides he acted, sang, composed songs, done the choreography of his majority movies, dispensed the stuntmen and in the movie “Point break” he jumped 55 times of an airplane. Other movie that did a big success was “Ghost”, an emotive movie. His first movie was in 1979, “Skatetown”, U.S.A. and the last work was the series “The Beast” of A&E, 2009. His mother, Patricia, was a dancer too and she had a Dance School where he met his wife, Lisa Niemi, and they got together since adolescence. She was fifteen and was the best student of her mother. They were married for 34 years but they didn’t have children. On September 14 of this year, he died of pancreatic cancer. He combated this for two years and while this time, stubborn, he didn’t stop to smoke. In a survey done with the studnets we found that half of students know who Patrick Swaize is and the other half doesn’t know him. Probably for that reason 60% of students don’t like him. There are two movies that were remembered by the students: Ghost and Dirty Dancing being the second the one who students like the most.

LANGUAGE -
by Renata Yohana and Thiago Franco
Every language adopts and adapts words from different idioms. It’s part of the language’s development. Obviously it happened with the Portuguese. Modern Por tuguese was influenced mainly by English and French. When a word is adopted in another idiom it is often adapted according to phonologic, semantic, syntactic and morphologic aspects. Phonologic aspects can be seen
when a word in English has a phoneme that is not included in Portuguese. Then, this word has its pronouncing modified. With that, the word doesn’t seem a foreign word. Example: The letter “r” in the word “score” in English is spoken like the “r” spoken in the word “porta”. In Portuguese, the “r” is spoken like the one spoken in the word “barata”.
another thing. Some examples: Shopping (in English, the purchasing of goods from shops; in Portuguese, mall), beef (in English, bovine meat; in Portuguese, steak), smoking (in English, what release smoke ; in Portuguese, tuxedo) and box (in English, a container with a flat base and sides and a lid; in Portuguese, shower).
Sometimes the word is written in a different way. Examples: basketball - basquetebol; record - recorde, leader - líder; and others.
With these modifications we cannot say that these borrowings influence our language too much. With the adaptations we make new words appear and the language became richer.
Sometimes the word loses its original meaning and begins to mean
MUSIC - Rihanna launchs new album.. All hush, hush when Rihanna arrived at her ‘secret’ London location – Brixton Academy to launch new material for her upcoming album- R Rated. Drawing up to the stage door in a fleet of black cars, SW4’s night was alight with a flood of paparazzi camera bulbs. Fans were rushed in before the 8pm witching hour, as VIPs took the balcony and others to the main area. Huge screens were erected and the stage set up with mannequins, televisions and video backdrops - then came the build up. Fans shrieked in embarrassment as their faces appeared on the screens. A masked and studded Rihanna then appeared to debut her new tracks..Starting with ‘Madhouse’ as a warm up,She then fired up the crowd with her scream of ‘Let’s get this party started,.London’. Her dramatic video backdrops were a creative haven of images as she continued to rock the academy, with ‘Wait your Turn’, ‘Russian Roulette’, the old favourite; ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ and a new take on ‘Disturbia and they completed the mini-concert with ‘Run This Town’ and ‘Umbrella’.
