http://images.uncyc.org/ja/thumb/a/a0/Chuckling_muttley.jpg/180px-Chuckling_muttley.jpg laugh is the general term
the others are all different ways of laughing.

Someone who chuckles at a joke laughs a little...

To giggle is to laugh softly, often with the hand covering the mouth
and tends to be associated with silliness.

Tittering
is very similar to giggling, but perhaps softer, sort of like the sound of many birds chirping together. In fact, it sometimes occurred with another birdlike sound, cooing.

To snicker at someone is to laugh briefly, often secretly (hand over mouth), and sarcastically.

To guffaw is to laugh loudly.

To snort is to laugh and suck in air at the same time, making a sound similar to the grunting of a pig.

Tenha COMUNICAÇÃO como OBJETIVO!

O vídeo abaixo é bastante interessante!

Tendo COMUNICAÇÃO como OBJETIVO,
totalmente concordo com o que diz esse polonês do vídeo abaixo...

Se você tem bloqueio com inglês básico (ou conhece alguém que tem)
vale a pena ver ou sugerir esse vídeo!

http://blog.rafaelcavalcante.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/diamante.jpg

Antes de ver o vídeo,
você saberia dizer que pedra é essa ao lado?

Depois de ver o vídeo,
por favor, veja também meu texto em defesa da gramática, que eu poderia resumir assim:
Ninguém se faz ourives em sete dias!


E agora, em defesa da gramática:
imagine-se
segurando em uma mão um diamante bruto
e em outra mão um diamante lapidado.
Ambos são valiosos, mas um deles,
antes de valer no bolso, vale nos olhos!
e quanto mais lapidado, mais brilho!
Uma frase bem-feita, antes de valer nas ideias,
vale nos ouvidos, além de ser mais objetiva,
limpa, de fácil reconhecimento.


"O valor de um diamante não pode jamais ser considerado apenas em função do peso da pedra. Embora seja uma característica muito importante, é preciso levar em conta também a cor, pureza e o corte da gema para classificar o seu valor no mercado. Um diamante menor pode ser considerado mais valioso do que outro maior que tenha cor, pureza e lapidação inferiores." ( diamantes.com )
Você saberia que pedra é aquela lá em cima,
antes do texto?... Você poderia arriscar,
mas convenhamos que há muito ruído,
há muita interferência, não se pode ver bem,
portanto não se pode deduzir tão precisamente.
Assim é a comunicação. Valiosíssima!
De uma forma ou de outra.

Lapidar é agregar valor!
Um valor simbólico.
O valor do brilho.

Não há como lapidar diamantes sem ferramentas.
Para sua comunicação, a ferramenta é a gramática.

E ninguém se faz ourives em sete dias!

Isadora Faber, 13

In Brazil, A 13-Year-Old's Facebook School Diary Earns A Visit From The Cops



UOL (Brazil), BBC
Worldcrunch
FLORIANOPOLIS - It all started when Brazilian student Isadora Faber, 13, decided to do her homework a bit differently. She exchanged paper and pencil for a Facebook page, where she began complaining about the conditions of her school.

It didn't take long for "Diario de Classe: A Verdade" ("School Diary: The Truth) to reach 280,000 followers, reports Brazilian news portal UOL. Photos published on her Facebook page showed several infrastructure problems, such as broken facilities and a sports court lacking ceiling.

The BBC had reported earlier this month how Faber was inspired by an even younger Scottish blogger, 9-year-old Martha Payne, to take the case of her unfit school to the Internet.
But now the feel-good story of youthful online activism has reached the police. Isadora was reported by her language arts teacher, who accused her of publicizing problems that went on inside the classroom on Facebook, UOL. Several users made aggressive comments against the teacher, based on Isadora's complaint of bullying and humiliation.

Isadora, who lives in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis, went to the police office for the first time in her life to give her statement on the case. “I was treated gently by everybody there”, she wrote on her page.

How a Scottish school blogger helped reform a Brazilian school


Although one is in Argyll, Scotland, and the other is in Florianopolis, Brazil, Martha Payne, 9, and Isadora Faber, 13, have a lot in common.
