Help me with my Likedin Profile in English !!!
Summary:
In December 2015 I graduated in Civil Engineering by the Faculdades Integradas do Norte de Minas - Funorte. I have gained experience through internships related to construction in housing construction. My first internship has taught me valuable lessons like teamwork, the importance of communicate well, such as having a daily routine within a large company, collaborating in various stages of a process. In addition, I have participated in some trainings that helped me to mature in the professional field. My second stage was in a construction company and had more access to the construction work and all its evolution from the beginning. There I have learnt to be more independent in my work, to be willing to perform other different functions, lead small teams, meet pre-established goals.
Experience: Civil Engineering Intern
Sector: Warehouse/Purchasing and Quality Control
Activities: stock control, purchase of building materials, quantitative survey,monitoring of the evolution of the construction, budgeting, assistance in preparation of measurements. Through these basic functions I could learn and apply the concepts that I have learned in college and apply them in the work. I managed to follow the progress of the construction work from beginning to the end, and all its peculiarities as the quality of purchased materials, negotiating with suppliers, properly storage, hiring outsourced companies, archiving and invoice processing, fulfillment of goals and deadlines, assistance in preparing the measurements.
Sector: Executive Management Housing
Activities: analysis of projects and budgets, verification of monitoring reports of construction,surveys on housing ventures.
I worked with the team of engineers and architects of the company, more specifically programs of Housing as the Minha Casa Minha Vida. There I have learnt to analyze engineering projects and architectural projects, I have learnt to check budgets and schedules of construction works in progress. Moreover, I have aided in quality inspection and delivery inspection of the property. I have followed the progress of various works of the north of Minas Gerais through reports submitted by accredited companies.

Analyzing my learning
I have been thinking about my speaking skills and I could identify some points to improve. My main difficulties are: lack of specific vobulary, inability of conjugate verbs on the Perfect Tenses and difficult to pronounce some words naturally.
On the other hand, I realize that I'm not thinking in my native language when I'm talking any more. I can think in English now. I guess I'm more fluent too because I can form setences without thinking about the rules, I just say them, even if I say them wrong. No more thinking about grammar or the right order of the words while the conversation.
One fun thing I could identify is that when I don't know some word, I try to invent it based on my own laguage (this part I think in my language) . I have to stop with this.

I went out with my friends and look what happened...
Yesterday I went out with my friends A., L., N., G and M. (I'll keep her names in secret). We met in the Mall to catching up. Everything was fine, but in the middle of our meeting something got wrong and the atmosphere was tense. L. got really upset with A.
I'll explain: my friend A. came visit us and brought us her graduation invitation. The reason of the conflict: A. made her message in her invitation thanked her friends, but she mentioned some names and others she didn't. So, my friend L. is very sensitive and not have her name in the message was a blow to her. She's got really bad and upset.The atmosphere changed. A. and L. have been friends since childhood. So, you can imagine. G. and M. have their names mentioned. My name wasn't mentioned either but I understood and respected my friend A's reasons. My friend L in the other hand, didn't. She told it was a completely lack of consideration with her.
If I was A, I'd avoided to mention each specific name, to not cause embarrassment. I'd had written something like " I thank all my friends", something in genaral to avoid this situation. What would you do?

Talking about my learning 3
Last Tuesday I decided making a plan to study English. Since August last year I've been studying English by myself, but without a good plan to follow and without a deadline to meet. My studies were a little bit desorganized: one week I studied following a book, another week I changed to podcasts and transcripts. Every week or every month I changed my way to study. That was making me feel lost and sometimes I felt sick and tired because I wasn't seeing progress.
This week I finally decided organize my time and my goals on my study. What not planning my English studies like I did when I was at school? Crazy, right? Today is my second day following my plan and I realize the benefits. I can divide the subjects by 4 important skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Another important decision: to learn grammar by context. Using my grammar books just for consult like I do with dictionary.
I can see my progress now. And first and foremost, it haven't been boring like before.

Talking about my learning 2
I'm currently reading a book about Collocations. It's an excellent book for english learners. It's very usefull because it teaches about combining words that will sound more natural when spoken.
I'm learning a lot of basic and intermediate collocations that helps on the time when it's needed to talk to a native. What make me more embarassed about talking to a english speaker is not to know how to say what I'm thinking in my own language. I know what he/she said, and I could hold a conversation with him/her, but only if it was in my mother language.
Although, in the time I need to put out my thoughts in english, it doesn't happen, or I just say single words without any conexion. So, it's probably my words doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I would like read this book before, so I would avoid a lot of embaressment. Now, I need to practice my speaking and stop talking like Tarzan.

A Postcard: My Town
This is the postcard of my town. There are 300.000 people living here. The best part of my town, in my opinion, is the hills that we can climbing and the grottos with its blue water. For those who like nature, there are very activities like visiting waterfalls, swimming in the river. Also there are very restaurants, pubs and night clubs in the downtown for those who like have fun with cool and hip nightlife.

What the meaning of "crisp", when you talk about money?
E.g.: If you’re tempted to buy something, just imagine that those new shoes were actually made out of crisp $20 bills.
