Getting back
It's been a long time since I wrote something here for the last time.
Why did I come back? To practice English of course. I've been studying English watching videos, and I think my listening is good, but I realized I have many difficulties in writing and speaking.
Yeah, that is it. Nothing else comes into my mind to write about now.
Cya.

Writing about online shopping
It's not surprise saying I'm going to buy something through the internet. This practice became popular since some years ago. By the way, I bought my notebook, including others gadgets on the internet. It's pretty safe, I mean, the internet is never one hundred percent safe, but is regularly safe.
These days a friend of mine told me she buy her clothes from the internet. I asked the predictable question "But what if the clothes don't fit well on you?" Then she said the company could change the clothes or even give her money back without paying anything. I didn't know that so I asked myself if it's not better buying clothes online because usually I don't like to buy clothes on shops. Today I looked up on the internet for some clothes and I think I will give it a try.

Writing about what's happening to Brazil
If you read the news about the world you probably know what's happening to Brazil. Last thursday, one million brazilians went out to the streets to manifest against the raise of the public transports fares, not only here, but all over the world. The protest worked. The fares went back to the previous price, however, the indignation didn't cease because the major problem is not the 20 cents of the fare, the major problem is the corruption.
The World Cup in Brazil is a good excuse to the politicians earn illegal money. It will be the most expensive world cup of all the time, $28 billions if I'm not wrong. If you ask brazilians if they want to see Brazil as a host of the next World Cup, almost everyone will tell you that they don't, not because they don't like soccer, brazilians love soccer, but because there a lot of things more important to invest money. I'd like to share a video about this topic: ww w.youtube.com/watch?v=ZApBgNQgKPU
The manifestations aren't over yet. Now, the citizens know that they have power to chance the country and they won't stop until their lives get better.

Thanks
I'd like to thank you guys who have helped to improve my writing through your corrections. Your feedback is really important to me.
I've been writing here for months and I'm feeling more confident now. I know there's a long trail till I become fluent but the important is that I'm getting better and better.
It's good when someone considers my texts more than simple language training. Of course my main purpose is to practice my skills but I've been trying to write about different subjects, and sometimes we enjoy discussing about them.
I noted that my writing is not formal. I don't intent to be formal here. So, as long as my texts are grammatically correct, please don't consider them as mistakes. Eventually, I'll write something formal, and when I do this, you will know.
Thank you again. See ya.

Writing about the past
This may sound melancholic but I've decided to write about the past today. How many times we think about what we could've done in our lives if we had another chance? How many times we think in how different it would be? Sometimes, all we want is step back in times and remake our decisions, or even spend a good moment again.
The truth is we made mistakes and thats why we want a second chance, but we know some things don't accept another opportunity. In my opinion, I should've lived my youth more intensely, also I should've studied more.
The good news is that I'm still young (I'm 25) and there a lot of things I still can do. So I don't have to look back my past and regret. Those moments are already gone. It was good while it lasted but new things are coming.

Writing about food
For those who don't know me, I'm brazilian and I'll write what kind of food I used to eat and which one is typical here.
The most common brazilian dish is: rice, beans, beef, fries and salad. I like it but I get sick If I eat it three times in a row. So, I try some variations like chicken instead of beef, another kind of salad, and fish sometimes. On the weekends, I eat some kind of fast-food, but not frenquently as the americans do. My preferred food is barbecue, it's delicious, especially if you have a swimming pool around you. There are some dishes which aren't brazilian I like. Pizza and yakisoba for example. For the last, there is something people love but I hate... is cheese. I don't know why I just can't stand it.

Telling about a SImpsons Episode
Last night I watched a Simpsons episode and I will tell you what happened. I know it can be boring but I haven't found anything better. At least, it's a good way to practice "narration". I'm not a fan of Simpsons but I like to watch its episodes in English to train my listening.
Firstly, I don't remember the episode's name but I guess it's one of the lasts. The episode begins with Homer walking through a city where he and Marge had had their first date. He intended to give her an unforgettable gift: a small train where they had spent romantic moments and also had been used to give his son's name. Unfortunately now, the train was broken and old. But Homer manages to fix it with his friend's help to give to Marge that train. Homer deceived Marge so she thought he had forgotten the anniversary while he was working to recover the train in secret. Sad, Marge found a man interested in her on the Internet. Although tempted to betray Homer, Marge resist the approach and finally she receives her gift.
That's it.lol.

Writting about my new job
It's been a while since I wrote something here for the last time. The good news is that I've found a job. Officially, this is my first job cause I only had worked as a intern before. The company that hired me develops softwares for hospitals. Most of my colleagues are younger like me, so we have a lot of things in common to talk about. I started to work couple weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. Also, I'm living in another city cause the company belongs to a different city. So, my lifestyle has changed pretty much these days and I like it.

Something about Italki
Well, This website is really good. It's a nice way to learn a new language through the internet because you can help and be helped by other people. In order to help the Italki's developers, I'd like to give them some suggestions:
- Notebooks are the most useful feature of italki for me. I've written some notebooks , I think 10, but I've received few corrections/comments. Many of them weren't answered. I don't know why cause I try to help people but their notebooks are already answered -___- Only my notebooks aren't answered. Maybe If the people who help received some kind of reward we could see more corrections.
- I miss the audio conversation. It's essential for who wants to learn a new language. Maybe a chat room where people could speak and listen would be a good idea.
Just some thoughts of mine. Cya.

Writing About TV Series
I'm not someone who knows everything about any series but there are two series which I'm following at the moment. I like to watch an entire serie from the beginning so I can understand every detail. I've not missed any episode of the series I'm going to talk about here.
The first one is Game of Thrones, I'd like to read the book however it's too long and I don't have much time. What draws my attention about this serie is the amount of character. There is no one main character, each one with his own feature, and you don't really know who's gonna sit on the iron throne or who is the strongest.
The second is the Mentalist. The main character is a rare smart man who solves cases through uncommon methods. He has only one goal: find Red John and kill him. Until now, we don't know who Red John is, but we know he is smart ( or more) as Jane, the main character.
There is another serie that is one of my favorites: House. Although it's already finished, House is amazing serie to watch. I recommend it.
