Escreve um pequeno texto em que compares as atividades familiares há 20 anos com as de hoje
Há 20 anos, eu tinha 8 anos e ia á escola primária, vivia com os meus pais e o meu irmão. Então faziamos muitas mais atividades em familia: viamos televisão juntos à noite, iamos para a montanha no fim de semana, jugávamos aos jogos de tabuleiro. Há uns anos, só podias ver filmes em DVD ou VHS, por isso aos sábados à noite iamos à locadora de vídeos para alugar um e ver-le juntos.
Hoje em dia, as crianças de 8 anos já têm telemóvel e têm acceso a muito mais conteúdos de internet, já estão nas redes sociais e isso pode ser pouco seguro para eles. As crianças continuam fazer as mesmas coisas que no passado, mas de forma deferente.

Hello everyone, can somebody help me correct or check this phrases?
I'm not sure I've used the correct tenses.
"He passed away on February, at the hospital where he was staying, at the age of 91.
He had been suffering from some common age-related illnesses for the last few years, so he was hospitalised at the beginning of the month due to the worsening in his condition".
Thank you

My family (parents and siblings) isn't that big. We are only five: four humans and one cat. My father is an IT manager and has (is there a better synonym?) a very important role in the hotel chain where he works. He's always very busy and sometimes it is hard for me to get a chance to see him for a drink togheter. Anyway, he's very close to retire, so he may find some more relax in the next few years.
My mother is a worker and she loves cooking and take care of her flowers on the balcony. She lives with her black cat that I decided to call Aitor. If you're wondering what it means, I can't remember, unfortunately. It's basque, and it sounds like the name of a badass viking god. I thought it was perfect for the sweet little boy I took with me two years ago.
I also have one younger brother. He lives on his own with his girlfriend, in the house they have bought recently. He was a barman but because of the pandemic he found himself unemployed. Now he's studying some coding to get a new job. He practices Japanese martial arts and loves video gaming and good quality spirits.

Hier, j'ai rencontré des amis dans la ville. Ça faisait longtemps que nous nous ne voyions pas. Nous avons fait une promenade pour les rues du centre-ville et ensuite nous sommes allés déjeuner chez un petit restaurant appelé "Le bistrot populaire".
C'est un restaurant assez simple mais très joli. Ils servent toujours des plats differents, préparés avec des ingredients sains et non traités, et achetés chez entreprises alimentaires locaux. Ils offrent un menu assez diversifié, que peut satisfier tout les régimes: végétarien et végétalien, sans gluten, de viande et des poisson, de la tradition ou étranger.
J'ai pris une soupe de lentilles épicé, des haricots et du chou cuit à la vapeur, une tranche de quiche à la chicorée de catalogne. Comme dessert, j'ai mangé un parfait très délicieux.
Ensuite, nous avons décidé aller a faire un autre promenade dans une petite ville sur le lac, jusqu'à le soleil s'est couché.
Après le dîner, je me suis etendu dans mon lit et j'ai terminé le livre que j'avais commencé ça fait un mois.

La photo que je vous montre aujourd'hui représente un des plats que j'ai cuisiné pour le déjeuner de Noël passé.
Il s'agit de lasagnes à la chicorée rouge, champignons, noisettes hachées et béchamel de soja.
Cela, c'est une recette complètement vegetalien et j'ai décidé de la préparer pour changer un peu la tradition.
Cela, ce n'est pas difficile à réaliser.
Il faut d'abord cuire les légumes et les champignons coupés dans une poêle avec de l'huile et des gousses d'ail, du sel, du poivre noire et des herbes aromatiques; ensuite on prépare la sauce béchamel avec du lait de soja, de l'huile et de la farine; après ça, dans un plat à gratin on va assembler tous les ingrédients: premièrement la béchamel, ensuite la lasagne, béchamel, légumes, champignons et noisettes hachées, couvrir avec une autre lasagne et repetir jusqu'à qu'on termine les ingrédients; finalement, on enfourne les lasagnes pendant 15 minutes à 200°.

Used cars: what should you check before buying one?
Buying a second hand car can be a good choice if you want to save some money. In fact, there are many used vehicles in quite good conditions, especially if they have been regularly maintained. Anyway, it’s important to pay attention and carefully inspect the car you are going to buy, in order to avoid dealing with unpleasant troubles and further annoying spending.
Generally, private owners sell their car to a lower price, but there is no legal protection for any kind of problem the car might show. Instead, dealers are – according to the Italian law – obliged to sell their cars, at least, with a 12-months-cover warranty.
A used car price is also determined by the miles it has already covered during its life. Unfortunately, milometer can be easily rolled back electronically today. So, you should inspect the condition of the pedals, the car seats and the gear shift. If they are quite worn, the car might have travelled for more than 62,000 miles.
Examine carefully the car body for visible and hidden damages: rust, dents, scratches, cracks on the windscreen*(UK English) etc. If you find some imperfection, you might try to negotiate a discount.
After that, open the bonnet*(UK English) for a mechanical inspection. First of all, you should check the level, the colour, the smell and the texture (?) of the fluids (engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluids etc.). Then, look over the other components of the engine bay: is the battery covered with corrosion? Are there hoses hanging loose? Uncovered wires? Are there any signs of leaks?
Ask for the maintenance records and the receipts of the repairs.
In the end, of course, you should do a test drive in order to check the car noises, verify the correct functioning of all the controls and devices and see if you definitively like the car you are going to buy.

What is a Covering letter?
A cover letter, or covering letter, is a short introduction letter that sometimes hiring employers require within the CV. The cover letter is not always mandatory but, experts say, it can give you more chances to get the job.
People might write a cover letter in order to apply for a university master’s degree course, an internship or a job in an organization, but in all those cases one should be able to convince the employer(s) he/she is the best candidate for the position he/she’s applying. Not by telling lies, of course, but by showcasing the key skills and expertises that make you a good fit for the position.
As I said previously, a covering letter is generally short because it should be read “at a glance”. In fact, people in charge to select candidates have to read a lot of covering letters and Cvs and they tend to discard unsuited profiles easily.
A covering letter should consist in or four or five sections: greetings, opening, body, conclusions and complimentary close.
The opening paragraph is the most important part. It may be used to capture the attention and the interest of the employer(s). In a few lines you have to specify what job you’re applying for and why you consider yourself suited for the position, showing your motivation and expressing your enthusiasm.
In the body, or middle paragraph, point out your expertises, qualifications and past (or present) working experiences that match the desired qualifications. To do this you should carefully read the job posting.
In the conclusions, you should thank the reader for the time and the attention and ensure action on the part of the employer by writing some sentence like “I look forward to the opportunity to personally discuss why I am particularly suited to this position”, “Please telephone me at after 4.00 p.m. to suggest a time that we may meet”.

"The real reason why couples break up", a self-made comprehension exercise
This is a self-made comprehension exercise. The original article is titled "The Real Reason Why Couples Break Up" and you can find it on this link: https://www.theschooloflife.com/thebookoflife/the-real-reason-why-couples-break-up/
What is the article about?
The article is about the reason why, according to the author, most of couples break up.
What is the widespread idea about why couples break up?
Many people believe that love stories are based upon similarities between the partners and that differences in interests, tastes or attitudes can bring relationships to an end. Dating app algorithms follow this idea, too: many of them, in fact, match people who have the greatest number of things in common.
However, everyone is an individual with different backgrounds and stories, furthermore, people can change quite a lot during their lifetime. We can’t expect the person we’ve felt in love in our 20s will be the same after 15 years. The more we know him/her deeply, the more we realize he/she’s unlike us in some ways.
What are, according to the author, the main reasons that bring love stories to an end?
The real causes that end relationships aren’t the number of differences, but how disagreements that arise/emerge (is it correct to use “arise” or “emerge” in this case?) from these differences are handled. So, following that perspective, a stubborn defensive attitude and impatience towards the partner can threat the emotional bond.
How should lovers behave in order to live a good long-term relationship?
Lovers should be able to listen and trying to understand each other’s stances; they should respect the other’s point of view or criticism (if it’s gently worded) and reflect on the fact that perhaps they may have to change; they should let go their pride and try to empathize with her/him. In other words, as the author summarize, what we'd like to listen in those situations is: “I hear you; I understand what you’re saying, I am going to think about that, perhaps I will need to change”.
