StoryTeller - Part 1
I'm not Forest Gump, but I did go through a lot things.
I remember when I visited the São João del Rey city in Minas Gerais, in 1992... I got the lost between Belo Horizonte and São João del Rey and I stoped in the fuel station for ask how I get to São João del Rey. So, the sympathetic sir, chewing tobacco, answer to me "go over there", indicating the path whit your hands. I thanked and make a more question,"how long is it?". He said, "just around the corner". However, I was a 120 km away from the city.
Let me offer you a word of advice. When you ask for the distance for a native of Minas Gerais, look at your libs. How far ahead are they, further will be.

I got the lost between Belo Horizonte and São João del Rey and I stopped at a fuel station to ask for directions. The sympathetic sir, chewing tobacco, answered me with "go over there", indicating the path with his hands. I thanked him and asked another question.
"How long is it?"
He said, "Just around the corner."

**Okay, so I edited this without including correctional marks to make it easier to read. Your English is pretty good but there are a few things I changed. For one, we don't say "to make a question" we say "to ask a question". I also fixed where you had the wrong point of view and said "your" instead of "his". Unless you were trying to talk to the fuel station attendant, you would say "his hands" rather than "your hands". The one piece of highlighting is because I have no idea what you mean. What is a libs?
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I hope my explanation was not too hard to read!
