Você é um vencedor! Você passou pelos níveis iniciantes que foram o 
Beginning Mystery e o , mas ainda não satisfeito, você continua em busca 
de mais, pois seu objetivo é a fluência no idioma inglês!
 A essa altura, já se definiu nitidamente uma linha divisória entre os 
perdedores e os vencedores. Os perdedores são aqueles que não 
conseguem manter o foco em suas metas, e no decorrer do caminho 
tropeçam ficando para trás. Começar um projeto é muito fácil, mas 
concluí-los, definitivamente não é tarefa para fracassados, pois eles não 
conseguem superar as barreiras do dia-a-dia, tornando o gosto da vitória 
bem mais amargo do que o da própria derrota.
 Os vencedores são vocês que continuam percorrendo o caminho 
indispensável para alcançar a fluência, pois esse é nosso objetivo 
principal, além, é claro de desfrutar do agradável ambiente familiar que se 
formou com o tempo aqui na Jolly Joy.
 Se fosse fácil chegar à nossos objetivos, não haveria regozijo na 
vitória, mas vencedores como vocês, não respeitam os limites impostos 
pelas dificuldades, pelo desânimo e pela insuportável 'preguiça', mas se 
mantém sempre firmes nos propósitos os quais tomaram ao iniciar a luta, 
não só por essa meta de falar inglês, mas também por todas as metas 
traçadas no decorrer da vida!
 Depois de passarem com grande estilo pelo e peloBeginning
Mystery, chegou a hora de encontrar soluções que nos guiarão até a 
fluência muito em breve.
 Parabéns por ser um vencedor! Parabéns por persistir em seus 
projetos, carregando sempre consigo a nossa imensa gratidão por serem 
parte do que já se tornou uma família. Vocês são a Jolly Joy.
 Bem vindos ao Solution!

It took me many years!
 I started to study English when I was still a child, in a country city from 
Goiás.
 There weren't many options of English Schools there, maybe about 3 
different schools, and my parents decided to put me to study in one of them.
 It took me four years to finish the basic course, and after those four 
years, I realized that I could read and write very well, but I couldn't 
understand people talking to me and I couldn't speak with them fluently.
 After this school, my dad and I started looking for other schools where 
we could study conversation instead of grammar.
 We went every where but we never found what we were looking for. It 
took me many years looking for a way to learn how to speak English fluently, 
and I only got that when I went to live a few years in the USA.
 Now, you that study at Jolly Joy can answer this question: How many 
years does it take to speak English fluently at Jolly Joy?
 You know the answer! . In two years studying at Jolly It takes two years
Joy, you will certainly going to learn much more than in any other school, 
speaking English fluently, and ready to learn more and more with the 
practice as time goes by.
 So, here we go! Keep up the good job! We are almost there. Half way of

 Cristopher Columbus made his historic voyage from Spain
to the “New World” in 1492.
 At the time of his arrival, about one million people were
living in America. Columbus called these native people
“Indians”, because he thought that he had reached the coast of
Asia. He never realized that, in fact he had discovered a
continent between Europe and Asia. In 1620 a group of
English settlers sailed from England to America. Three months later, they landed at 
Plymouth Rock, in Massachusetts and founded the earliest European Colonies in the 
New World. During their first winter over one half of the settlers died. The rest survived, 
and with advice from local Indians, they learned how to farm and fish. The following 
November, after their successful harvest, they celebrated with a special “Thanksgiving” 
dinner.
 For over 150 years after the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, America 
was governed by England. 
 Colonist in the New World paid taxes to London and had to accept its laws. Then, 
on July 4th, 1776, the Americans made a 'Declaration of Independence' from King 
George III and his Government. The result was six years of war, which ended in victory for 
the Americans, led by George Washington, who became the first president of the US, in 
1782.
 The new 'United States of America' rapidly expanded. In 1803, it bought 2 million 
square kilometers of land from France for US$ 27 million. After winning a war against 
Mexico in the 1840's, US gained even more territory. This included California, which had 
a population of 14,000 in 1848. That same year, however, gold was discovered near San 
Francisco. As a result, thousands of pioneers rushed across America to make their 
fortune, and by 1860 California's population had grown to 380,000. The era of the 'Wild 
West' had begun. 
 Between 1860-65, America fought a bitter Civil War in which over 600,000 men 
were killed. The cause of the war was slavery. Thirteen southern states (the 
Confederacy) depended on slave labor, but the northern half of the country (the Union) 
wanted to abolish slavery. Victory for the Union and its leader, Abraham 
 Lincoln, who was the sixteenth American President from 1861 to 
 1865, was assassinated at a theater in Washington only one 
 week after the surrender of the South. Over 13 million 
 immigrants arrived in the United States between 1815-80. 
 Most were trying to escape from poverty and religious 
 persecution. For them, the Statue of Liberty, which stands 
 in the entrance of New York Harbour represented their first 
 Glimpse of a new life in the “land of Freedom”.

 Being grateful is to understand your place in the worlds, knowing that many came before you
and many will follow. It’s to find reasons to give your best, fulfilling your role with joy and hope.Gatitude is the mother of virtues. Those who thank for the resourses they have, remain connected
with the Divine Source. Thus, receive more gifts to bless their lives and to be used in the service
of others. Take a time to count your blessings regulary. Write them down. Thank those who render
you simple services this day.
 Acknowledge the efforts of people. Focus on the brighter side of life. Cultivate gratitude in the 
soil of prayer. You will increasingly recognize the blessings that God has for you. Gratitude is the
memory of the heart.

In other words English speakers use the word "whether" when contrasting (or comparing) 
alternatives or/and positive possibilities against negative possibilities.
When you use the word "whether" you must usually use the word "not" in the same phrase.

Genitive CaseGenitive Case

22332233
SOLUTION
O caso genitivo expressa posse, e é usado para pessoas e animais.
Ex.: Renan’s car is red. (O carro de Renan é vermelho)
 The dog’s eyes are black . (Os olhos do cachorro são pretos)
* É formado pelo acréscimo de ’s ao possuidor.
Ex.: Jhon’s car - Carla’s pen - the baby’s toy - the woman’s house
Casos Epeciais
* Quando o substantivo termina em “s”, acresenta somente o apostrofo ( ’ ).
Ex.: The girls’ bike - James’ horses
* Quando existe dois possuidores para um possuído, acrescenta-se o apóstrofo 
somente no segundo possuídor.
Ex.: That man is Lucy and Janne’s uncle.
(Lucy e Janne são possuidoras do mesmo tio)
* Quando forem dois possuidores para dois possuídos distintos, usa-se o 
apostrofo nos dois possuidores.
Ex.: They are Joseph’s and Mary’s parents .
(”Eles” são dois possuídos para dois possuidores)
Quando o possuidor não é uma pessoa nem um animal, e sim uma coisa, usamos of e não ’s:
the foot of the mountain - o pé (a base) da montanha
the name of the street - o nome da rua
Em alguns casos também podemos usar o possuidor antes da coisa possuída, mas sem ’s, 
já outros não se usa of:
the foot of the mountain - the mountain foot
the door of the car - the car door
the leg of the table - the table leg
the engine of the car - the car engine
the top of the mountain - the mountain top
brick wall - parede de tijolos
kitchen table - mesa da cozinha
