My experience reading The Hobbit in English
I’ve been reading The Hobbit in English, although it proofs to be a bad decision. I started it because I wanted to read some book in english, for I would like to learn more about grammar easily. However, although I already had read this book in Portuguese, I had trouble trying to understand it in english. I don’t know, There was so much adjectives, phrasal verbs and descriptions for different places that I felt kinda lost and could understand just 50 or 60% that Tolkien was talking about.
I’m in this chapter that talks about the Gollum and his riddles, this is my favorite, so I get more excited to read, but sometimes I really want to stop it and throw the book away (of course I would not do this, as I’m reading in a Kobo). Anyway, I hope I finish this, so it will be something that will make me proud.
Though all the difficulties, I’m feeling that gradually, I am getting more comfortable with different words and becaming more accustomed with reading in this language. It makes me want to learn more for understand things and shows me where I have to work hardly to improve my english.
Guys, I hope you may correct my english and explain to me what is wrong as far as possible, I would be really grateful because it helps me a lot!

My first contact with english languange
Hey guys, I hope you can correct my english, because it would help me a lot
So let’s get start!
I’ve been sorrounded by the english languange since I was a child, but I remember one specific funny moment, which is when it started. So I was in 1st grade and there was this english book that I read for the fist time. There was a bunch of colour’s names and I thought it semeemd a little weird, but at this first moment, I also though it was easy, after all, I just needed to say it the way it was wrote.
The thing is: I didn’t have a clue about pronunciation. Here in Brazil, we are accostumated to speak every tiny vowel in a phrase, even if it’s not in there. Then the next day, my professor got into the class and started to say all those words and I was just chocked. I remember thinking “There is no way someone can talk like that.”
But the time has passed and I’m getting more used to it every day. I think it’s pretty cool to get a first contact with another languange, because you see that your way to talk, write, speak and even think it’s not the only way (I know it sounds obvious, but we kinda have this unconscious sensation). And in this giant world, this skill is more than necessary!

Friendship
I like to belive that a friendship is something that you build little by little. I don't have too many friends at this moment, the most of them just slowly gone away, worried about their lifes. Actually, I don't think this is bad, 'cause it makes people that really cares with you keep up with you. But at some point this has bothered me... I started to notice my old friends hanging with a group of bright new friends, I saw they enjoying parties without me and gradually, I kinda felt alone in a crowd.
However, I also noticed that I had little shiny stars in my dark sky: my friends that stayed by my side. I'm lucky to have them, because they're always there for me when I need them. They make fun of me and I do the same about them. When I feel ugly, they make me feel beautiful, when I feel tired, they help me to recover my energy, when I feel bad, they look after me and more important: when I feel lonely, as I already said, they stick with me.
