Addicted...
I want to confess that I am addicted to learning English. And my addiction has increased so much since I started to have lessons from a native English speaker tutor. I have had just four lessons until today and the last one was in the past Monday.
My tutor must be very busy this week, because I can not schedule another lesson before next Sunday. Now, my brain is missing her lessons and it makes my entire body to move and shake in a weird way. As an addicted, I can listening her voice every time that I hear someone speaking English on Youtube videos, in a movie or TV. And the worst thing is when I catch myself comparing the voices and I think that she speak better than everyone. She has the most beautiful voice, the best good mood and the most brighter green eyes that I have ever seen. Okay, I know that sounds a little bit weird to talk about her green eyes, because it seems out of the subject, but I can assure you that if you want to learn something new, you will get it better if you have a big pair of green eyes to look into.
They say that the best way to heal an addiction is recognizing that you are ill and talking about that. I did it right now. So, I will wait until Sunday, until the moment that I will listen to my tutor tell to me once more:"please, define or use in a sentence the word "retreat"".

I want to confess that I am addicted to learning English. And my addiction has increased so much since I started to have lessons from a tutor who is a native English speaker tutor. I have only had just four lessons so far and the last one was on*** Monday.My tutor must be very busy this week, because I can not schedule another lesson before next Sunday. Now, my brain is missing her lessons and it makes my entire body to move and shake in a weird way. As an addict, I can hear her voice every time that I hear someone speaking English on Youtube videos, in a movie or on TV. And the worst thing is when I catch myself comparing the voices and I think [or "and thinking"] that she speaks better than everyone else. She has the most beautiful voice, the best good mood* and the brightest green** eyes that I have ever seen. Okay, I know that sounds a little bit weird to talk about her green eyes, because it seems irrelevant, but I can assure you that if you want to learn something new, you will get it better if you have a big pair of green eyes to look into. [Wow. I'm starting to think I should take English lessons too now!]
They say that the best way to heal an addiction is to recognize [UK "Recognise"] that you are ill and talk about it. That's what I am doing right now. So, I will wait until Sunday, until the moment when I will hear my tutor tell to me once more:"please, define or use in a sentence the word "retreat"".
*="Mood" is a temporary state. I am in a good mood because I won the lottery. Yesterday I was in a bad mood because I had a headache". If you are talking about a permanent aspect of her personality it's better to use a phrase like "the nicest demeanour" (U.S. "demeanor"), "she has the most positive attitude", "the best temperament" or "the sweetest nature" (to be honest, this seems more in keeping with the way you would talk about someone you were infatuated with, rather than a teacher, but it fits with the general "gushing" tone of the rest of the notebook!)
**=you could also say "the greenest eyes"
***=Acho que "on Monday" parece confuso porque pode significa "a segunda-feira passada" ou "a segunda-feira próxima" , mas já disseste "last lesson" e assim o leitor sabe que o evento aconteceu no passado. Por isso, "on Monday" será aceitável e evitará repetir a palavra "last" duas vezes numa frase.
