Hi again! Here is Carol! I´m posting this because in the text that I´ve published you can´t see how many F´s there are! So, here is the answer:

Function words (#71)
In the text opposite there are 10 F's! Most people underestimate the number of F's because they fail to notice them in the word 'of'. Function words like 'of' are unconsciously processed by our brain because they aren't important.


The Optical Illusion!

CR Flamengo x Botafogo FR

The star - or lucky - of Joel Santana shone again in Maracanã. Not only the star, but the ability of the coach, six times champion of Rio de Janeiro. In the interval, with Flamengo losing the decision of the Carioca-2008 for Botafogo by 1 to 0, goal that occurred because there was a tremendous failure of the goalkeeper bruno on a charge of ball stopped by Lúcio Flávio, the coach put Obina and Diego Tardelli on the field.

Fluminense Football Club

Fluminse Juniors

Fluminense was tied in with Flamengo by 2 to 2 this Sunday, in Maracanã, and won the title of the Carioca championship, junior . Fla arrived to open 2 to 0, but the tricolor have a reaction, and had already done in the first match (win by 3 to 2), the Flu responded and prevented the championship, for the fourth time.


Fluminense x Atlético Nacional

The good advantage built in Medellin was not forgotten by the goalkeeper of Fluminense, Fernando Henrique. Even knowing that the fans should appear in good number in Maracanã, next Tuesday, thirsty for a great display of Tricolour, the shirt 1 was keen to make their reservations. To him the teammust be calm in this decisive moment.
