Looking for a partner Hey guys. I'm Andre Pacheco and I'm from Brazil. I've been studied English for almost 2 years and I'm looking for a partner to improve my speaking. As a Brazilian, I can help someone who is learning Portuguese. Yes I know, there are just a few people interested in learning this language (it's almost useless, that's the true LoL). But, who knows, maybe someone is dating a Brazilian girls or boy and want please him or her =D So, is there someone here learning Portuguese that want to exchange ideas and improve his/her knowledge as well as me? If yes, please, let's be a partner. Fell free to send a message to me. We can help each other. Thank you for reading that. I appreciate your time.

A sunny day Today was a sunny day here in Brazil. I and my cousins did barbecue, drank some beer and enjoyed a pool in my mom's house. Further, we watched the Brazil's soccer match in Olympics game, which the national team defeated Honduras by 6-0. After the game, my cousins went to their houses and I took a nap. I did not work today because I am on vacation. In the next week I will need to come back to my job. Until there, I want to eat more barbecue (yes, this is my favorite food/meal). The only thing that concern me now is to get fat. I think I will need a diet when my vacation ends. Thank you for reading.

The Olympic Games 2016 Last week started the Olympic Games 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is the first time that an Olympic Games is happening in South America, hence in Brazil. The opening ceremony was awesome and warn us about the global warming. In this moment, the games are in the half and it will end in the next sunday. I really like to watch and to play various sports. I am following, mainly, soccer, volley, handball, basketball, swimming. In basketball and swimming, the americans are the best; In soccer and voley the brazillians are doing very well; Finaly, in handball the brazilians are playing a good game in the female caregory and the frenchs in the male category. As a brazilian, I am a little upset because, in general, the brazilians have been doing a bad games. In fact, we brazilians were waiting a better performance of the our athletes because we are the host! For now, I bealive (and I hope) that we can get the gold medal in soccer, volley, handball (only the women) and beach volley. If this happen, I think we can get the top 10 in medals ranking. Thank you for reading =)

Problem with infinitive sentences Hey guys. I'm learning english and I'm having some difficulty with verb + ing for infinitive sentences. When I say, for example, to sleep early is very boring, is it wrong? I must to say: sleeping early is very boring? (Another example: After to see you, I felt much better and After seeing you, I felt much better). What is the rule to know that? Thank you.

USA trip A few months ago I traveled to USA for the first time. I went to visit my cousin and help him move from Minnesota to California. I'm Brazilian and I needed to take a fly to USA, of course. Actually, I hate to travel by airplane because I'm tall and the assent is so tight. First, I went to Houston, then I took another fly to Minneapolis. When I got there, was too cold, the temperature was something around 25 ºF, and for a Brazilian guy, this is SUPER cold. I spent one week in Minneapolis helping my cousin to pack his stuffs in a trailer. After that, we took the road to Sacramento by car. Of course, the car was pulling a heavy trailer. Our trip took three and half days. I passed for five states: South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and of course, California. Furthermore, when we was in Wyoming we visited the President's face in Mount Rushmore and in Utah, I saw the Salt Lake, in Salt Lake City. Finally, when we got Sacramento, I was very tired. However, in the same time I was so happy and thankful, because everything was alright with the car/trailer and I could see many states and cities in USA. Nowadays, I'm saving some money to take another trip like that. Thank you for read :)
