    How I Learned English

    My name is José Augusto S. Gomes. I am Brazilian, and I am a seaman. I really like this job, because, I have contact with many people from different countries, and I can practice English, a lot. In fact, the best way to improve English is by practicing... I've been studying English for 6 years. It is not a hard language...Many words are similar to Portuguese, my native language, because about 25% of English words come from Latin. You know, Portuguese comes from Latin, like Spanish, French, Italian, and Romanian. Well, I think that I have to improve my English, because I never went to an English country. Maybe someday...But, the Internet helps, a lot, and I usually try think just in English. It is amazing to improve my English skills...I like English musics, books, and meeting new friends from around the world. If you wanna, keep contact, it would be nice to meet you. I like to know about different cultures, lifestyles, languages, and I enjoy having fun. See you:)

    "In essence" is the better choice. I would not suggest using the first sentence by itself. It would be okay to use it to contrast with "outside" differences: "On the outside, we may appear different, but on the inside, we are all alike."

    "Drink" is correct, but it sounds a bit old-fashioned to me. You could say, "Alcohol, taken in moderation, won't hurt anybody."

    Yes, "sheer slander" is appropriate. You don't need to use the indefinite article in the first sentence. "It's slander and has nothing to do with the truth."

    Driving Test

    Tomorrow I will have my next driving test. (<--- not sure if that is the meaning you want...) Is it as difficult to pass in other countries as it is in Poland? It will be my third attempt. Some people say, "Third time's the charm." Everyone wish me luck and pray for me, please.

    I agree 100% with Keith. Once you understand the basic grammar and vocabulary of a language, READING BOOKS is the best way to learn new words. Reading news articles is excellent as well. Some things to think about when you find a new word: Is this word still used/commonly used? Is this word specific to British/Australian/New Zealand/American/etc. English? Is it commonly used as part of an idiomatic expression? Also, talk to lots of native speakers, and try to emulate the way they speak.

    I am sorry that I haven't written in ages, but I have been really busy. You know we moved to a flat in London last year? Well, we have worked on our flat since then. You must come visit us the next time you're in London. Meanwhile, I have started to run again. You know how I used to run when we were in school? Well, last year I decided that I needed to get fitter, and I joined sports club. And guess what? I just ran the London Marathon! I finished it in five hours fifteen minutes. I felt very proud of myself! And I could be five kilos lighter! When will you come to London (or: When are you coming to London)? It will be great to see you again. Write soon!
