As promised, here's your suggested extensive reading of the holiday:
- http://rainforests.mongabay.com/mata-atlantica/mata-atlantica.html (really nice to be reminded that the Amazon rainforest isn't the only one in our country, isn't it?)
- http://www.greenlivinganswers.com/archives/197 (features a video, which I haven't been able to see yet - please let me know if it's worth it if you do!)
And here are my personal recommendations (from contributors to our very own blog - thanks a lot, Mariane, Felipe! - and from the same page as the article on Mata Atlântica):
- "I think every experience in our life is valid. I have never visited the sea and I am sure that when I can I really would soak up it. In the beach, in a cruise or maybe to work in a cruise :)" and "I totally agree with your understanding of this text. You really saved me some time of writing about it! =P". =D
- "Some things are just better when you turn off the lights. Such as star-gazing, campfires, movies, kissing, and the new mushroom species from Brazil, Mycena luxaeterna. This bioluminescent fungi casts an eerie, yet beautiful glow. Researchers named it luxaeterna, 'eternal light', after a movement in Mozart's haunting Requiem. The species is from the Atlantic Forest, one of the world's most threatened and fragmented rainforests. It grows on rotting branches. © Cassius V. Stevani (Instituto de Química – Univ. de São Paulo, Brazil)."

| No, that's not what I meant by 'my personal recommendation'! |
Star-gazing, campfires, movies, kissing... mushrooms? And Mozart (or sort of...)! Ideas for the holiday - since it's unfortunately too short for a cruise!... ;)
Oh, and don't forget to:
- join our fellow bloggers Felipe, Amanda and Mariane in their discussion of Lesson 09 and Lesson 10 texts (I'll be doing so myself this weekend!);
- find, in today's articles, one expression which appeared in yesterday's lesson;
- highlight at least one interesting collocation per article read;
- leave a personal comment on at least one of these articles.
A happy Easter to those who celebrate it - I'll be still accepting chocolate on Tuesday! LOL
