How To Face Canadian Winter (Text correction and tips are welcome)
Hi everybody. Well, I'm heading to Toronto next February so I want to get some tips from who has already faced its winter. I'm kinda scary about that, I live in Brazil and here we don't have such winter. The coldest part of the year usually lasts from late May until September, even though it's already hot since couple weeks ago and we are in September, so you may figure out our winter mostly doesn't last so much. You can't even find clothes for hard winter here.
Without further ado, If somebody could give me some tips like what kind of clothes should I take? Or if I should buy clothes when I get there. What should I wear to leave the airport heading home? Considering I'll leave Brazil with about 35ºC and get Toronto with roughly -5ºC or less.
Thanks in advance!

A Funny Fact That Went On With Me And My Little Brother
My six years old brother was doing his homework as we saw he had written the number three backwards, just like the letter E. So my dad corrected him. Then I laughed, not because of his mistake but because that was a funny situation. And I said "you miswrote that bro". Then he said "hey, everybody makes mistakes. So do you!". And I said "thats true bro, I do make mistakes either". And then I was like "what a shame, my six years old brother had to teach me stuff life-wise". But I was happy because he reacted that way, I could've drained his confidence laughing at him, but he acted like a big boy! I'm so proud of him. In the other hand, I learned that we have to watch our acts dealing with children, because even a little thing we do might hurt them and reflects in their future, and you know, we don't wanna say "woulda coulda shoulda" someday.
I would be glad if someone corrects it to me.
Thanks in advance.

Talking a little about my day
Today's being such a good day so far. I've kind of worked hard but I had some free time to study English as well. Here in my job the things are going great. I'm feeling so confident doing my tasks. When I'm in order to solve any issue, I have my mind quiet due to the all knowledge that I've learned during these three years since I started working here, so I know that I mostly can solve any problem.If there's a problem that I can't solve though, I have to be humbled enough to ask for help from a colleague.
Could someone correct this for me? Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Telling a little about my job
Hello there. I'm going to talk about my job and I'd be glad if someone could correct this for me! :)
Well, I work at a harbour in Rio. It's a particular harbour of a steel maker industry. Here we have five cranes wich three are for load steel slabs and two are for unload coil from the ships. The coil is taken to the raw material yard through a conveyor belt. This belt is really big, having about 7 kilometers.
I have all the electrical maintenance on my play. I've been working in here for 3 years, so I know a plenty of things about those cranes, just like faults that usually happens. But everyday I learn a little. Nobody have all the knowledge, so we have to be humble enough to learn from other people.
One of the things that I like in my job is that I work four days in a row and then I get four days off in a row as well. It provides time enough to do stuff that I like when I'm home. In the other hand, I have to work on holidays and weekends, like today.
My working day is from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Unfortunately, today is very windy from the get-go. It's unsafe to work in this condition. So we have to hold on until the wind gets slower.
I love my job, I love the oportunity to get knowledge and meet different people. It's very excited. I'm looking forward to take my carreer to another level and keep doing a good job!
What about you guys? Do you love your job aswell? Or just do it to get by? Tell me!

Must-go places in Brazil
Hi everyone, if you are planning to come to Brazil, I strongly recommend these following places that I absolutelly love in here.
In this post, I'll tell you about 2 cities that are so close amoung themselves. They are in north of the Rio de Janeiro's state, near the Espirito Santo's border, in a region better known as "Região dos Lagos" or Lake Region in english. These cities are Buzios and Arraial do Cabo.
Buzios' a little city, full of historical buildings, featured for the Brigitte Bardot's statue, it's in a bench on the beach, seems like it's enjoying the view. Another good place in Buzios is the "Rua das Pedras" or "Street of the rocks". It's full of stores and restaurants hard to pass up.
Now, my favourite: Arraial do Cabo. It's an amazing place, full of stunning beaches with limpid (and cold) waters, very white sand. An ideal place to rest and enjoy you family. My favourite place there is the "prainha" (little beach). In prainha you gotta let you car in the road and down a stairs.
I hope you can come someday, cya.
You can see a Prainha's picture right below.

My currently goals
I gave myself some goals that I hope I can accomplish as soon as possible.
The first goal is running a 10k street run in Rio. I'm currently able to run 6km, but lately my right ankle hurts after 10 or 15 minutes running. I gotta go to the doctor to check this.
The second one is get better in tennis and beat my cousin on a match. I started playing tennis 3 mounths ago and I'm very excited about this sport. It seems easy when you watch on TV but it's very very hard to play. I'm taking some lessons, but those are expensive-ish. I think more 2 or 3 months practicing I can win a match against my cousin.
The last goal is become fluent in english. Nowadays theres a thing that annoy me so bad! Everytime I need to talk to someone in english, I feel like my mouth is frozen. I gotta practice very hard my conversation and listening. I'm watching some tv shows and movies with audio and subtittles in english and it's helping me a lot. An easy english tv show like "Friends", I can already understand like 80% of what the characters say. I hope I can watch any movie or tv show without subtittles soon.
I would be thankful if some english speaker could correct this text for me.
Thanks in advance!
