Just one more day waking late.
Every day I wake up at six and twenty AM, wear my uniform and I go toward my job. This is my routine since three months ago.
On the last week, after arriving at my house from CTI at eleven PM, I went to my bedroom and lay down trying to sleep, while I was in my bed I could listen my brother on the living room watching TV, because of the loud sound I could not sleep, so I went at him and asked if he could turn down the TV volume, and after explaining why I was asking that at him, he did.
All this spent time convencing him I should be sleeping but I wasn't, and on the next morning when I woke up and glance down at my cell phone's clock, I was late to the job, and it was raining, then I couldn't go to my job on the motorcycle. I was late, so I just thought in asking my dad to lend his car, then I could go to the job, but he didn't lend because he'd go to his job on it, so I took my cell phone and called my neighbor friend who works in the same place than I. After explaining at him what had happend I asked him to take me to the job, he said he would get out to go in ten minutes, and I could go with him if I'm ready in time. As I was already wearing my uniform and ready to go, after nine minutes I was outside my house, but he didn't, so I called him and asked what had happend, he said his car wasn't turning on, and maybe we couldn't go in the car. I called my other friend who works with us but lives far then us, I explained him all the situation and asked if he could take us, and fortnatly he was getting out from his house with his father's car as though he was waitting for the calling. Five minutes later he took us and we went to the job in his car.
In the end, we arrived all late but not wet.

Using "If.. I would have". (3)
Three weeks ago, my friend asked me if I could lend him my guitar, and as I'd not use it, I did. He used It all the weekend and gave me back. On the next weekend, he asked me again, and I'd use that time, but he said he'd play on the church and he had already confirmed with them that he'd go, so I lent. One week later, I thought he'd not ask me anymore, but he did, and I didn't want to be a bad friend, so I lied of course. I said that the guitar string was broken. I sopposed he'd realize I was lying, then I took off the guitar string and sent a picture to him on whatsapp. He believed, I guess, but I had the job of taking off and pulling the string. If I hadn't had lent my guitar to him on the first time, I'd not have lied or had to lend again.

Using "If.. I would have". (2)
Three years ago, I was backing from school, near my house, one street away, when a boy around five years older then me, stole my cell phone, I mean, he ordered me to give him it and I was afraid then I did. I was about fifteen years olde and perhaps he was about twenty. As I was close to my house, I ran at it and called my dad through the phone. I told him averything that had happend and he called to police. Nearly six minutes later, the police was in my home calling me, they asked me to go with them trying to find the thief, and as I wanted my cell phone back, I went. After about ten minutes looking for the thief, we found him, I recovered my cell phone, and he had some drugs too. The matter was when he looked at the police's car, and I was inside it, problably he reminded who I was. After that, I was allways thinking that one day, when he scapes and/or not be in jail anymore, he'd back and try hurt me, or something like that. Now a days I'm not afraid for that, but if I could I'd not have gone at all with the police, I'd have let the police goes alone, and he'd not have seen my face.

Using "If.. I would have". (1)
Hello. Once, my mom asked me if I'd like to go with her to a church located in an other city, that city is about 307 miles away. That day I was having a little headache, but I accepted the invite and I went. When I got there I couldn't get out from the bus, the little headache became a strong headache and fever. I got out from the bus only at night, and I got out because my daddy ordered me to sleep with them in a tent. We were five people and there wasn't space enough. If I could choose again, I'd not have gone, I'd have stayed in my house both those two nights, and have fever in my bed!

Hello world, I've got a problem.
Hello, my name is Gabriel, and I'm trying to improve my English using Italk. I've already written two or three notebooks at all, and that is a good way to make up my doubts. Well, my problem with Italki is trying to find a teacher, not really find but contact them, none of them answer the messages, and I want to talk with them, meet them, before pay and have a conversation.
This is not such a hard problem to solve I guess, but I don't know what I should do. I'm waiting for an answer, and a corretion as well. If you find better, you may send a message straight to me.
Bye!

My oral test of english!
Today, two days after my birthday, is my oral test of english, and I don't know what will be my result, I've been studying but when I need talk about something, I don't feel prepared, but I'll try of course. Today, around four PM, my teacher and me, will talk about Holidays, and about how I can use the phrasal verb "used to/for", that seems easy, but it isn't for a brazilian beginner! I'm sorry for the grammatical erros, but I need to practice.

The three favorites holidays
Of all the holidays, both brazilian as american holidays, I know three best, the Thanksgivin, the Reveillon and the Christmas.
The Thanksgivin is when all people use your free time to stay with Family, to eat and talk whit them. Some people, use that day, to pray, and talk about them religion. I like that Holiday, because I have never participated, and I just watched in my brazilian TV!
The Reveillon, is a nice holiday both in EUA as in Brazil, It's when we have a new chance to achieve our goals. It starts at first year's day, and finishes at last day.
The Christmas is day to give and receive gifts, if you're kid, you just receive, but if you're adult, usually you give. The Christmas is when you dine with Family, and to wish happy christmas to them. It was good when I was kid, but today, I don't like so much!
