Hi, I'm planning a month long trip to Brazil at the end of the year, as a lone traveller, to have a little adventure before I hit a rather big birthday! I really want to experience as much of the Brazilian culture as possible and meet and speak to locals whenever possible. I've started to do the Pimsleur course, which I'm finding really good, and most of the words/phrases are sticking in my head. I'm also enrolled in a beginners course starting in April 2013, but think that the best thing to do would be to find someone to actually speak with, on a regular basis. Happy to help someone who wants to learn English too, although I'm not a teacher. Thanks

:) Não se preocupe, esse conteúdo é muito dificil para os falantes nativos do inglês! Mas tenho certeza de que em breve você estará dominando isso.

    OK, for example the test would be satisfactory if you got 70%. It would be a satisfactory result. You wouldn't really say that it was satisfying, as that word is used more to describe how you feel or felt about it. you could say 'it is very satisfying to get a good test result'. Hope that helps a little bit!

    The Convenience Store Robbery

    THE CONVENIENCE STORE ROBBERY


    I went to the convenience store at the gas station to buy some chocolates. I was choosing a few M&M's and three bars of Snickers when I saw this guy stopping his motorcycle in front of the store. He did not take off his helmet and came inside. In that moment I already knew what was about to happen. He take took a gun out of his jacket's pocket and said "Everybody down! This is a robbery! I want you to lie down and take the cellphones and the money out of your pockets. And purses, ladies… and purses." Then, he pointed his gun at the cashier and said: "Hey, you. I know the safe isn't locked. Go back there and bring me at least 5000 reais or the things are going to be sad bad. And do not think about calling the police or you will find out what it is like have a bullet on the brain." The cashier went inside the facilities and left the robber with us. The bandit rounded the store collecting the people's phones and money. From me he took 45 reais and an iPhone which I was paying on 24 monthly-payments. I became was really mad. The cashier got back and delivered to gave the robber a bag full of money. For From what I could see, that was much more money thaen just five thousand reais.

    The bandit threw the phones and the money inside the bag, went outside and climbed up got on his motorcycle. He turned it on up and went to the street. What comes next is the coolest part. When he was crossing the corner a police car coame up and drove into the side of him (I think this is what you mean?!) over him in his sideways. His arm was broken He got a broken arm but he didn't even passed out due to the collision hit.

    A pedestrian was walking by when he saw the robbery through the vitrine ??? and immediately called the police. All people Everybody recoveredy their posessions objects but the money was mysteriously lost. I was happy because I for had got my iPhone back. I went back to work and later on to my house, but a question kept hitting my mind since the robbery. A phrase theat robber has said: "I know the safe isn't locked". Why he did knoew that?

     

    That's a crazy story! Glad you got your iPhone back!
