Why are brasilian politicians so corrupt? I think that it's because we don't have hard laws. Here the laws are light for those who practice corruption. I woul'd like we had laws similar to the developed countries. But I think that's so far away because politicians will not create laws that will condemn themselves. I hope that is changing. It depends on our judges, our justice. Sérgio Moro, the judge who is leading the most investigation about corruption in policy, who had also recently condemned our ex president Lula, has been treated like a heroe here but I think he is not doing more than his obligation. But as here honesty is very rare, in special from the part of the politicians, this judge is becoming a celebrity.

why are there so many street dogs in my city? Some people are so irresponsiable because they usually pick the dog from some animal donation fair when they are still puppies. They look wonderful like children. Some people buy them for their children as if they were toys, but as time goes by and the dogs grow up, it becomes expensive to take care of them, then people took them far away from their houses to abandon them. My city doesn't have public policy for street dogs and I feel sad for this because they are like humans being. They feel cold, sadness, pain and sometimes they also become depressive. I like all kinds of animals and I respect each one but dogs are specials for me. They are loyal, attentive and defenders to their owner.

My family. I was born in a eleven siblings family. I was born in 1978, at home. Today is uncommon, for a woman, to give birth at home. In that time it was common. Families were bigger than the families from nowadays. My oldest brother is 53 years old and my oldest sister is 55 . I'm 39 and the last one is 32. But a few years ago, we met one more brother who is son of my father from his first relationship. Everyone in my family knew that because my father always told us about that, but we have never been in contact with him. My father used to tell us that it was a short affair he had with a girl who he worked with, but he did'nt like her. In 1996, my half brother wanted to meet his father and after searching a lot he found out where my father worked and went there to meet my father. From this day on my family became a little bigger. He is a kind and gentle person. I had six sister and five brother, now I have six sister and six brother.

What happened today Today is the third day of my vacation. I usually get up at six o'clock in the morning on week days when I go to work. But on weekends and on my vacation I always get up a little late, around nine or nine thirty. Today I woke up at about eight o'clock but I stayed in bed until ten o'clock. After that I took a shower, dressed me up, had breakfast and got ready to take my dogs for a walk. I usually do that when I'm at home. I always take my dogs for a walk, one at a time, because they are not so small and two of them are so unsociable that I can't let anyone approch them. After I have gone out with my dogs, I stayed at home reparing my stove because a few time ago a rat came into my stove and spoiled the oven of it. It was almost three in the afternoon when I finished fixing the stove. I did'nt have lunch today because my wife was so busy helping her father to pay some bills that she was not able to prepare the lunch. We ate fast food for lunch as sandwishes and foods like that.

How difficult is to learn a language. It is very difficult to learn a language when you are not in the native country of the language. That is because you don't have an enviroment that provides you anytime anywhere, informations your brain needs absorving every day to turn your linguistics skills automatic. Nowadays, even with all available tecnology developed by humans in comunication to easy people comunication, it is still extremely necessary to be in contact with people who can talk in the language we are learning.

My dog. When I got married seven years ago. I never couldn't imagine that I'd be living with "a person" so friendly and so lovely like her. I was never unrespect with any kind of animals but when I got married, in fact, I did'nt want to have a dog living at home and more than this, inside home. My girlfriend won her when she was still just a puppy, that was before I met my girl friend and starting dating her, then, from this day on, they started a relationship as mother and doughter. At first, when I got married I had hard times in accepting a dog inside my house cause in my father's house, dogs were not welcome, inside much less. So I wanted my wife left her dog with her mother who lived alone, To resume this long history, I'd like to say that during these seven years we passed together, she conquered my heart and my life. Nowadays, I love her very much just like a father loves his child. I have been learning with her much more than she with me. I do not have children yet but I have already got some experience taking care of 2 years old children because my lovely dog teaches me a little more day by day. That's my first text. I recently started my intermidiate english course. I have no fluency in any language skills yet, but I think I will get there. I think I need to practice my writing skill much more, cause I have never liked writing at all.
