This is the text of a short comic book of mine I'm trying to translate to english
1. The banality of everyday life. / People talk with each other, without really care for one another./ Talking is just an excuse to talk about yourself.
I hear people. /My earphones are broken./ I remember the reason why I use then.
every word they say seems uninteresting./ I can’t pretend that I’m like then.
The problem is that being like this it’s harder to get a girlfriend.
At my age, if you don’t have a girlfriend or make out with everyone, they treat you like a loser.
I hope to survive high school.
hey, that old man! /He caught the same wagon that I did every single day last week./ and I was late twice, and once I was early… / Would it be a coincidence?
Next page, character one looks surprised.
What?? The old man, again? But I saw him entering another wagon So, that bastard… /Is really following me?
Character two
2.No, I’m not following you.
1. What? How did you….or rather, who are you? I already have seen you travelling on the same wagon as me.
2: Yes, indeed. We’ve been close the last month.
(Thinking) 1:The last month? I thought it was just last week..
2: But I wasn’t following you./I was waiting for the right moment.
2. Some important thing happens just in very specific moments. / The day you met your best friend is a specific day./ Or when you finally get your dream job…or when you met the love of your life,Today ,is the day for you to meet me.
1.(serious) who are you?
2. It’s a good question, but.../ it’s not the right one. / The right question would be: what can I do for you?
1. What?
2. There it is./ Before I answer, I want you to see something important. /THIS.
1. a…ring?
2: brilliant, yes, it is a ring. /but it is not an ordinary ring.
1. It is gonna make me invisible?
2. Way better than that. Lets say it is gonna make you…lucky.
1.Oh, cool…
2.Of course you think I’m crazy, but what if right now a very beautiful girl walks in through that door.
Walks in a very beautiful girl in the exact moment. Character one looks amazed.
1. so beautiful…
1.You may resume, what were you saying?
2.Finally I got your attention. / That girl is pretty cute, isn’t it?/ Usually you would be open-mouthed, would follow her with your eyes and… would be deadly paralyzed, is that correct?
2. Try putting the ring.
Silence for a moment.
1. Nothing to lose… (he puts the ring)1. what now?Wow!/ It is strange this sensation… I feel like having a chance.
2. And you have it./ Now just go talk to her.
1. I was already going to.

psychology
Hello!
I have to write something in order to continue improving my writing. The feedback received is being very helpful and I feel that everyday I'm becoming a little bit better at english. So, I decided to talk about a subject that became a huge part of my life: psychology. For almost four years I'm a psychology student here in Brazil. In these years I've been through tough moments, it's not an easy course, you have a to do a lot of reading and writing, besides oral presentations. I had also several disappointments right in the beggining of the course: the teachers, who were psychologists, were just like normal teachers that I had had before. I was expecting people who knew how to motivate students without being aggressive or without using threats. Above all, I was expecting people who cares for the students, who could understand that we are not machines, that sometimes we feel bad, that we feel pressure that came from all the sides. I did not find even one teacher like I was expeting, maybe I was expeting too much :D
I probably made already a lot of mistakes in this text, so I'm stopping for now.
Thanks for reading, thanks in advance for any feedback!

It has been very useful!
Hello!
This entry is being made just to say thank you to those that have been helping me with corrections in my writings. It has been very useful, I'm learning a lot!
I'm trying to help everyone that I can with Portuguese also, feel free to add me on skype: ale_hq, and we may chat 50/50 in our native languages. If English is not your native language, we can chat as well, I believe chatting with foreign speakers is also good to improve communication skills. About two weeks ago I talked in skype with a Vietnamese guy, we barely could understand what each other were saying, but we had some fun, we laughed about our mistakes and our mispronunciations. I'm used to hear English native speakers through podcasts, music and television, so it is not so difficult to me understanding what they are saying anymore. But, with this Vietnamese guy, it was another story - I had to concentrate a lot to understand what he was saying. Every once in a while this was not enough, and we had to try to say the same thing with different words, in hope that the other would understand this time :D It was fun, as I said before.
Thanks for reading and thank you in advance for any feedbacks!

Teacher's day
Hello!
Today here in Brazil is celebrated the "teacher's day". The teacher is a professional extremely important for any serious country, because his work can actually change society for better. In education lies a serious country development, I have no douts of it. Brazil is not a serious country in this sense, over here this professional is still underrated. Education is still underrated, by people and negleted by politicians. It's said that in Brazil, "education don't earn votes", which means the candidates would not stress it in their campaigns.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your feedback!

entry number two!
Hello! I want to improve my english writing skills, as well as my spoken english. I want to travel around the world, talk to people, know new cultures, make friends and expand my work opportunitties. I know that I can't get anything done if I just stay in my confort zone, doing the same thing that I did up until now to learn english. I have to become confortable writing and actually speaking with native speakers. There's this new blog that I found that gave me aditional motivation to do that, it is called "fluentin3months.com". Despite the suggestive name, the site is not about any miracle promise, it is about a challenge which the autor of the site (a guy who is fluent in at least eleven languages) makes for hinself each time he wants to learn a new language. It is worthwhile to read some entries of his blog! Thanks for reading, I would be thankful for your feedback!!
