Second day in My English Live Journal (2011) Second day in My English Live Journal December 21st - 2011, Rio de Janeiro - RJ Today is my second day writing in my English Diary. Yesterday I have another English class and we talk about some verbs like "to go, to give, to work, to make, to do, to get and to take". It's not a hard class but it's a little complex (or complicated?) because the verbs have a lot of uses and variety. I don't do the Assignments again, it's like a homework but don't count any points, it's just to practice. In reality I do the Assignments in the book, but I need to pass it and wrote again in another paper to give it to Nana, my English Teacher. -CENSORED- This part only exists in my oficial diary, but in this part I talked about blood donation, I repeat a little of this subject in the end of this entry. -CENSORED- Anyway I really like to take this diary, it's a good practice and it's fun! Now I need to study and fix a script to the Christmas Theater in the Church on December 24th, and I already know most of the script but I need to practice more. Sometimes I fell a lot of laziness but I really need to kill all the laziness of my life and move on. ò.ó My Church is the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) and I really happy there, when I found Jesus Christ My life really change, Jesus transform my life and now I can live free and happy. Today I quote/mention 1 John 3:17 to my mother (I love her very much) and mention John 10:10 too and some another verse/versicle. I read the book of 1 John yesterday in the exercise of Bible year of the Book of Sabbath School Lessons. I mention it because she have doubt about donate blood and bone marrow, and I illustrated to her like 1 John 3:17 says, Who love's the Father need to negate himself and donate his sources to lacking people, because who doesn't donate, the Love of Father is not in him. I like the testimony I left in one of the Assignments, the question is "What type of food I like to eat in breakfast" and I answer the food who as not forbidden by the Law of God. hahaha ;D Now I think I will finish this entry, and tomorrow I return to practice more. God Bless!

Starting my English Live Journal (2011) Starting my English Live Journal December, 20th - 2011, Rio de Janeiro - RJ Now, with the grace of God I starting my Live Journal - Life in English! It's a way to practice English like the teacher Eddy D said: "Start a diary of your life in English to practice and following the four steps you will learn English fast and good.". But what the four steps? First Step - Understand 100% of the English text. Second Step - Read and Listen again and again, a lot of times. Third Step - Try to copy (imitate) the accent/tone ("sotaque"). Fourth Step - Practice the English pronunciation in one (or all) of three ways: A - Talk with strangers; B - Reverse Translation of Dialog - like while talking with friends, family or someone you can try translate your Portuguese dialog in a English one in your mind; C - Make a diary in English of your life. Of course I will try to follow all the steps, but I already start the C way of fourth step. It's a good idea anyway, I already like do it. Yesterday I become very sad because I understand some errors in my way of life, like one addiction/flaw ("vício") of entertainment, and sometimes I lost a lot of time in entertainment and internet. And I don't study the Bible a lot like in the past, so I need to return to the Gospel, I need to "spend" more time studying the Bible and the secular things too, I have a lot of books to read and sometimes I pass weeks without read anything. Ok, I have a lot of things to do too, and sometimes don't have time left to study and read a lot, but I need to improve the use of my precious time. Now I finish the beginning (opening/inauguration) of my English Live Journal, and I really like to do it. Maybe I will return to write here (today) again soon, anyway I would like to write daily and continue with this project. God Bless! Jackson Benete
