Just practicing Just practicing When I was a child, I was brought up by my parents and I remember a day that our car broke down when we were almost getting home. My father said to me “I’m gonna find someone to help us and I’ll be back in a minute” and after a while my mother and I went on waiting for my father, he came back with a American guy to help us. The American said “I come from USA and I just got here in Brazil, I took up studying Portuguese and I can help you guys if you help me to learn Portuguese”. I said “Yes, we can help you” and the American said “I’ve got a meeting tomorrow that I’ve got speak Portuguese, but I’m gonna call the meeting off, because I wanna learn more, I used to take classes when I was in USA but I didn’t understand to much, my classmates were better than me, I’d like to catch up with them and now I’m here in Brazil and I’m able to carry on practicing Portuguese to be fluent” So, that’s it. The history is over. Thanks! See ya.

When I was a child, I was brought up by my parents and I remember a day that our car broke down when we were almost getting home. My father said to me, “I’m gonna find someone to help us and I’ll be back in a minute.” After a while my mother and I went on waiting for my father. He came back with an American guy to help us. The American said, “I come from the USA and I just arrived in Brazil. I took up studying Portuguese and I can help you guys if you help me to learn Portuguese.” I replied (just a suggestion), “Yes, we can help you.” Then (then helps the text transition better and sounds smoother) the American said, “I’ve got a meeting tomorrow where I have (using got again wasn't bad, but I thought to make the sentence sound better to choose another word) to speak Portuguese, but I’m gonna call the meeting off because I wanna learn more. I used to take classes when I was in the USA, but I didn’t understand too much and my classmates were better than me. I’d like to catch up to them, so now I’m here in Brazil and I’m able to carry on practicing Portuguese to become fluent”

So, that’s it. The history is over.

Thanks! See ya.
