With this blog I intend to help students improve their English skills. However, I will write a little about Portugal. I love the English language, but I am also very proud of my mother tongue and of my cultural heritage.

Cape Town : Portugal vs Spain
Portugal is going to play against Spain in this beautiful city today.
The Portuguese team is known as the Navigators in homage to the first Portuguese who reached these coasts in the fifteenth century and opened the sea route to India and to the East.
These Portuguese were led by Bartolomeu Dias(1488), a great Portuguese explorer and navigator. Some years later (1497-1499)Vasco da Gama sailed through these same waters and succeeded in arriving at India by sea. This was a time of great feats …
Let’s hope the Portuguese can once more beat their opponents and conquer the route to victory.
