The Maple Leaf

The Maple Leaf é o jornal mensal do Canadian English Centre.
Desde o seu primeiro número em junho de 1995, ele tem sido instrumento de informação, promoção, educação e cultura canadense a serviço da nossa escola.

Além dos seis últimos números, você encontrará aqui a primeira edição do jornal The Maple Leaf. No seu formato atual ele traz informações sobre o nosso método, ou sobre as novidades da nossa escola, sempre homenageando o nosso Student of the Month [aluno do mês]. Você também encontrará no nosso jornal as Tips on English Idioms [dicas sobre expressões idiomáticas inglesas], para melhorar o seu vocabulário além de muita filosofia na nossa seção It's True [é verdade].

Sendo a nossa escola um centro de cultura canadense, o nosso jornal sempre traz informações sobre o Canadá. A propósito a folha do ácer [maple leaf] é um dos símbolos nacionais do Canadá, sendo usado na bandeira nacional.

Além disso, você encontrará notícias variadas tiradas de publicações norte-americanas e canadenses. Estas notícias têm o objetivo de proporcionar ao aluno prática adicional de leitura sobre assuntos interessantes. Você também se divertirá a cada edição com a seção Pause for a Joke [pausa para uma piada], e saberá qual é a nossa programação para as aulas de prática das sextas-feiras.

The Maple Leaf tem muito a lhe oferecer. Aproveite!
