Abstract (Please, help me!)
Hi everyone, I put a lot of effort on this translation, but I am not a native speaker, so there might still be mistakes. Can you spot any? :) Thank you in advance.
Low construction productivity rates are known and are mostly strongly associated with inefficient planning at the construction site. The bad planning of material handling and storage system is among the main causes of inefficiency . Taking this problem into consideration, an application of material handling equipment, especially cranes, has been widespread among construction companies as a solution to increase efficiency and improve the performance rates at construction sites. It is essential to have production and management planning for those who use those types of equipment, in which can cause material and labor waste if not properly managed. On the other hand, if it is well managed; it will consequently reduce the final costs of the whole project. In order to plan the Material Handling and Storage System (SMAM), it is necessary to understand the concepts related to the layout and logistics of the construction site. Material storages should be distributed in such a way as to avoid the unnecessary handling of material and transportation, reducing waste of work. In order to choose the right size of equipment to be used, the location of the construction site and the time spent to get everything ready before being transported must be taken into consideration. Thus, the main objective of this present work is to carry out a study on material handling and storage, with emphasis on the use of a crane in the construction site of Hevea Vivence Residence condominium in Rio Branco-AC, based on the concepts studied and through direct observation. Measurements and data collection were the methodologies used in this study. Thus, it was possible to identify areas that could be improved , as well as the analysis of the use of the equipment under study.
Keywords: Civil Construction. Planning. Crane. Construction site logistics. Material handling.

Application (USA exchange program )
I live in a very remote area in Brazil ( Rio Branco, AC) . Most services, like mail service, is not efficient here. Last year, my boss told me that the headquarter in Rio de Janeiro ( DECEA) had an last-minute travel to the USA the following month. My boss said: Fábio you have to gather all these documents as soon as you can. I knew that as I live in a very distant place, all the procedures to get my official passport and visa would not meet the deadline that the headquarter in Rio de Janeiro gave us. In order to solve that problem and of course, have the chance to go to the USA, I said: “ Boss, I will take a plane and I will go to Rio de Janeiro to hand in these documents in person.” He was surprised and gave me a couple of days off to travel and meet the deadline. My response was so immediate that everyone was surprised and so was I with my attitude. I had initiative, I did not wait for nobody to decide anything for me. Because of that the deadlines were met , I was not a trouble for my organization and I went to the USA successfully. If somebody else were in my shoes might have given another problem to the organization rather than a solution as I did.

Nn exchange program in the USA
Hello. Can you find any mistakes? I am applying for an exchange program in the USA and this one of my answers.
Learning a Language is a never-ending journey. Studying the language in a non-English speaking country has made me feel proud sometimes. Proud, because I could make do with English textbooks, movies, songs and so forth, apart from attending a language academy, of course. I tried making online friends to boost my English skills as well. However, it is not the same thing as real life ones. In my opinion, it is not fair to make friends just because I want to learn something from them. Also, when I did, conversations were limited to “Hi” and “How are you?” With the “Humphrey Program”, after ten months, I am quite sure that it will change my experience as an English teacher ,air traffic controller and a human drammatically, because I will be able to be a stronger professional in my carreer in Brazil. In five years, after my experience, I see myself like a source of knowledge sharing highly qualified information not only to new air traffic controllers, but also making part of the team who is certified to master new English teachers to pursue their certification. I remember that all my teachers who have had experience abroad were seen as role models. They were and are still great examples for me. In other words: I want to be like them , like they were for me. In five years, this program will surely have taken me, my students/colleagues to the next level.

Exchange Program ( Application )
Hello. Can you find any mistakes? I am applying for an exchange program in the USA and this one of my answers.
When I was first invited to become part of the English department at work, I was both excited and scared. Excited because I was happy my English was recognized by Brazilian authorities. Scared, because I did not know what the future would hold for me. Surprisingly, when I was able to understand all the projects that I would be involved, I was amazed by how important my new function would impact a lot of my peers air traffic controllers. Brazilian controllers are trained to issue instructions to pilots in English. However, memorized instructions are not the only part of communication with foreign pilots. Picture a situation in which the pilot is facing an emergency situation. If the controller is not able to understand and help the piltot in a situation like that, the service will not be delivered successfully. When I started the projects by teaching and helping controllers around Brazil, I could feel how my work was influencing them positevely. My colleagues gave me thank you cards and pictures with us studying together. My students/colleagues leave nice messages on my social medias and I feel very special to help all of them. My work was so good that I even won a trip as a prize: I studied for two weeks in Daytona Beach, Florida at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I also received a Certificate for being such a commited employee in the year of 2018.

Could you please check my paragraph?
Hello. Can you find any mistakes? I am applying for an Exchange program in the USA. Thank you in advance.
I started as a tower controller and as the years went by, I became an approach controller. After that, I started to study more and ended up being an instructor for new controllers. Next, because I passed the English oral exam with the highest grade, I was invited to become an English-language instructor for air traffic controllers. Then I took another course to become a rater. So, now I also test the controllers' English level proficiencies. In a nutshell, I have a lot of responsabilities because of my big interest in studying English and Air Traffic Control.'

Hello. Can you find any mistakes ? Thanks for taking the time to read it.
Professional development is what I would like to focus in my experience in the USA. As I also work with education, the university environment is already the perfect place for me to be. I am really interested in learning new ways to approach and involve the students in Brazil with the methologies used at universities in the USA. The way I learn better is by talking about my education reality in Brazil, then when I Interact and I get feedbacks about it, I am able to assess that information and bring it to my reality, trying to change it for the better. The academic experiences I expect to have are about anything on the education field that I can apply to my Brazilian projects, because this is one of the areas that I am really involved at work. One of the professional experiences that I would like to pursue is basically teaching English in a classroom with students from different nationalities. As I teach English to Brazilian air traffic controllers, when they do not understand something, I speak in Portuguese so that they can understand me. As I have never taught English to students from other nationalities, I have no idea how I would behave facing such a challanging situation. I am sure that would enhance my professional life in Brazil. I have been an English teacher for more than fifteen years, so that would be such an amazing experience.

Hello, can you spot any mistake in my writing? Thanks for taking your time to read it. :)
As an air traffic controller, I am responsible for the safety of the flights in my area ( Rio Branco – AC ). So, basically, I make separations between aicraft. In order to be able to control all aircraft in my area, it is imperative to know how to speak English well. The Brazilian Airforce tested my English and they granted me level six, which is the highest grade for an air traffic controller in Brazil. Because of my English level proficiency, I am also responsible for helping my colleagues with English practices and lessons so that they can improve their English level prociciency as well. The knowledge and skills that I will gain in this program in the USA will help me become a more confident professional; I have never stayed more than two weeks in the USA. The short period that I stayed in the USA made a huge impact on my pronunciation and listening skills in a positive way. I am quite sure that after ten months of studies in the USA, I will be an amazing air traffic controller and English instructor here in Brazil with a lot of knowledge and experience to pass on to others. We deal with a lot of foreign piltos, so becoming a more reliable link between foreing pilots and Brazilian air traffic controllers will surely impact us all positely.
