Comments:
The person of the year that we chose is Al Gore, because he's interested in the environment. He's very interested in climate-change, and he made a movie about this problem. So a lot of people became aware of this serious environmental problem. André e Céline 10ºF
 
The person of the year that we chose is Carolina Salgado, because she published a very controversial book about corruption in Portuguese football. In this book she tells a lot of inconvenient truths.
Amilcar nº1
Ezequiel nº9
 
the person of the year that we chose is Al Gore because he is interested in saving the planet, he made a movie "an inconvinient true" who talks about the inviroment and the climate changes. Al Gore is a person who is concerned about the inviromentel problems.

Francisco Artur Faria Almeida Nº12 10ºF
Marta Gabriela Silva Teixeira Nº25 10ºF
 
we chose Pluto, because after being considered a planet for many years, he was excluded from the list of planets in 2006 and now is just another celestial body.

Marina 10ºF nº 19
Sara Alexandra 10ºF nº22
Sara Filipa 10ºF nº24
 
The person of the year 2006 that we chose is Pope Benedict XVI, because he represents God on Earth.
He also represents the christian catholic religion. The Pope is a very important person in the world.

Marta Fernandes e Gil Carvalho 10ºF
 
I`d select Bill Gates as the person of the year 2006. I`d choose him because he fought against poverty by donating money to the poor countries to help poor children and the sick. It´s not easy to be the richest man in the world and he has done a great job because nowadays many people depend on him. Besides, the title is given to the person who "for better or worse," had a big impact on all of us. In my opinion, bearing in mind the impact that internet users have had on revolutionising the media, we can say that he has what it takes to become the person of the year 2006.
Raimundo And Mariana 10F
 
The persons of the year that we choose are the Mr. and Mrs. Gates (Bill and Melinda) because them contributed a lot to the charity (they have a fundation that help peoples in Africa).
And he is for us is the people that contributed more to the technological world because this will be the future.
Tiago Dias nº 25 10I
Tiago Carvalho nº 26 10I
Pedro Moreira nº 16 10I
Pedro Lopes nº 14 10I
 
the person of the year that i chose is Major Valentim Loureiro because he is involved in the process "Apito Dourado" and i think he is guilty. He is definetely one of the most corrupt people in Portugal. He is basically a jackass...Andreia nº2 10ºI
 
For me the person of year 2006 was the Bill Gates, because he made donations for the people poor.
 
In my opinion who would have to be chosen was Mark Hughes therefore created a solidarity foundation to help the people who do not have aid.
This association call HFF (herbalife family foundation).

Tiago Silva 10ºI
 
For us the personage of the year of 2006 is the Lucho Gonsalez, player of the FCPorto, because he is an excellent player and a great man.
 
Jose Mário Dos Santos Mourinho Félix (Setúbal, 26 of January of 1963) is a Portuguese trainer of soccer. Mourinho is currently to train a London club, the Chelsea. It is, in England, nicknamed "The Special One".
 
In my opinion, one of the people that had an important role in this year on a social level were Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt. They adopted two poor children, gave them an opportunity to have a better life and so they built a multicultural family. Besides, they contribute to many charity projects in war places.
