  • FIFA World Cup 2018
    JOSE RAMIREZ BARRETO Published on 17.6.18 Final-minute goals a common feature of almost all games so far A ready but cautious Brazil will begin their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign against Switzerland on Sunday. Memories of that heart breaking 1-7 loss to Germany cannot have been easy to overcome but it’s something they have to put aside or it will not leave much room for an easy run through the group stage. Their preparations have gone to plan, with the focus more on tactical training as many of the players were coming off tough club seasons. Under coach Tite, the team has seen a turnaround, and what could have been a difficult road to Russia turned out to be a straightforward one. It’s really great to see the way the boys have responded to Tite. They are pushing themselves and working hard, and responsibly, to reach top form. They have carried their qualification form into the warm-ups over the last few weeks, and are displaying the right attitude and desire. And this means that fans are now again excited about their team. The defence of the team has proved to be unquestionable under Tite with a clean sheet in 16 games out of 21 games. From the middle to the front the performance of the new version of the “magic square”, formed by Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Willian and Philippe Coutinho, has been indisputable. This tactic has been productive for the attack and it is the individual quality of the players that has brought the results.

  • Globo Brings Russian Culture to Brazil for World Cup Coverage
    Globo Brings Russian Culture to Brazil for World Cup Coverage 06.26.2018 With the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia underway, prominent networks in Latin America-including DirecTV, Globo, ESPN and Fox Sports-are using magic, humor, music and pride to position campaigns around the excitement soccer brings, and the networks' capacity to offer fans the best content anytime, anyplace. Here, Brief digs into Globo's marketing strategy for the World Cup. Brazilian network Globo went with a comedic campaign that delivers some Russian culture to viewers, and uses music as a hook. "At Globo, we are in constant motion, following what happens in Brazil and around the world, and always maintaining a very close relationship with our audience. We focused on emphasizing the joy and excitement of covering the World Cup by connecting Brazil and Russia through a light-hearted and entertaining campaign that uses music-a universal cultural expression-to mix the two cultures," says Leandro Castilho, creative director at Globo. Globo produced special programming to bring a bit of Russia's spirit into Brazil. An example is As Matrioshkas (The Matrioshkas), a program hosted by journalist Glenda Kozlowski, who traveled to Russia along with the mothers of Brazilian players Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho. Globo's studios also have a LED-based stage, which turns guests and members of the audience into figures of a tactical table. The network also worked with traditional Russian musicians and instruments, such as the balalaika and the accordion, to create a new version of the song Coração Verde e Amarelo (Green and Yellow Heart) composed by Tavito and Aldir Blanc.

  • Distance Learning Reading
    Year 6 Distance Learning Reading Reading comprehension DIFFICULTY : MEDIUM The following extracts are taken from the diary of Anne Frank between 1942 and 1944, during the time she lived in hiding in Amsterdam with her family. July 8th 1942: “At three o’clock (Hello had left but was supposed to come back later), the doorbell rang. I didn’t hear it, since I was out on the balcony, lazily reading in the sun. A little while later Margot appeared in the kitchen doorway looking very agitated. “Father has received a call-up notice from the SS,” she whispered. “Mother has gone to see Mr. van Daan” (Mr. van Daan is Father’s business partner and a good friend). I was stunned. A call-up: everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head. How could we let Father go to such a fate? “Of course he’s not going,” declared Margot as we waited for Mother in the living room. “Mother’s gone to Mr. van Daan to ask whether we can move to our hiding place tomorrow. The van Daans are going with us. There will be seven of us altogether.” Silence. We couldn’t speak. The thought of Father off visiting someone in the Jewish Hospital and completely unaware of what was happening, the long wait for Mother, the heat, the suspense – all this reduced us to silence. July 9th 1942: “Here’s a description of the building… A wooden staircase leads from the downstairs hallway to the third oor. At the top of the stairs is a landing, with doors on either side.
