Motivation Today's note is gonna be a short one and the title itself resumes the main reason I haven't been practicsing english as it should be. I was graduated some time ago and the lacking of goals to be reached make you feel desestimulated to keep on learning a new language. Besides I seldom have the opportunity to speak in fact, spoken english. Is it worth knowing a language that it'll be rarely used? Last time I did, was quite akward. I was on my way home from college when I ran into a elderly person who runs some errands on the church next to home. He greeted me in English and I replied in the same language. And it was when I stopped for a while to think about "why did this guy speak english with me if he doesn't know me at all?". So, I turned around, gave some steps toward him and I asked him if he was native or something and then the conversation flowed for some minutes. I discovered that he was doing something related to church (which I didn't understand quite well as I was too nervous because I was unexpectedly speaking a foreing language in the middle of the street across mine's) and he is always present every tuesday afternoon. Therefore, you'll never know when your 2nd or 3rd language will be used Another reason is university: it drains all your energy not lefting some to practice english. For that reason abouve, now that I'm on vacations, i'll make an effort to improve my spoken and comprehension skills.

Introducting Myself Helo, reader. My name is Lucas and today is the first time in years that I write a composition in English. I must admit I lost the hang of it but i'll try to get used as soon as possible. I'm 20, a huge fan of motor sport and I'm quite interested in keeping in touch with guys (girls also, lol) that make me speak english even if it were 10 minutes per day. I think using a non-native language might end up in not losing fluence. I've had contact with English ever since a little boy but just in 2009 I really dedicated myself in this language by studying at a engish course in Brazil. It's been the best three years of my life, meeting nice friend out there and also improving my English. It provided me the possibility of watching TV series not depending so much of subtitles and also playing videogame which I love very much. Currently I'm studying Computer Science at university. It's a very interesting degree with lot of mathematics and logic, also a very difficult one due to programming and thinking ''algorithmically''. I expect to be a trainee at this area anytime soon, specially working at a company that manages computer graphics in video making. I think that's all. Whenever available, I might write about any other subjects that come up in my mind. Peace. Lucas.
